Our beloved local gelato shop in Encinitas was struck by a truck, causing major damage to the building and injuring a young customer. The shop has had to close temporarily to rebuild. Repairs, equipment and furniture replacement, and staff support come with overwhelming costs.
This isn’t just a dessert spot—it’s a community staple where families gather, teens work their first jobs, and locals celebrate everyday moments. It is also a family-owned business that supports a local Encinitas family.
Your donation will help with:
• Building and equipment repairs
• Support for the affected staff
• Reopening costs
• Refurnishing costs
Anything you give—big or small—helps the shop recover and return to serving the community it loves. If you can’t donate, please share.
Thank you for your support. ❤️
