Melt Gelato & Crepe Cafe Franchise

Gelato, Italian coffee, crepes

The Melt Café and Gelato Bar concept is a fresh, new experience that not only excites the customer but is also a great business opportunity.

They serve traditional gelato, as well as a host of other delicious products. Gelato's intense flavors and creamy texture come from the density not the fat. In fact all our sorbetto flavors are fat free and their gelato flavors have significantly lower fat content than regular ice cream. They use milk as opposed to butter fat, and they increase the density by reducing the air content significantly as compared to regular ice cream.
