3143 N Street, NW just off Wisconsin
ICYMI: “This summer, Georgetown will become home to the country’s first authentic Greek ice cream shop with the opening of Yala Greek Ice Cream at 3143 N Street NW.
New type of ice cream for the U.S.: Yala, meaning “milk” in Greek, brings 70 years of traditional Greek ice cream-making from the island of Rhodes to the U.S. That includes the recipe, ingredients, timing and technique to make it. The hand-crafted ice cream is made with farm-fresh milk and cream, and premium ingredients sourced from the Mediterranean, and both local and world-renowned producers. This gives it a uniquely creamy texture and bright, bold flavors that really pop.
American + Greek Flavors: Yala will offer American favorites like vanilla, cookies and cream, and mint chip, plus flavors that celebrate Chrys’ Greek legacy including:
Pistachio Odyssey
Yia Mas (Greek yogurt with wild cherries)
Kataifi (Baklava ice cream)
Yia Yia’s Karamela (burnt caramel with Greek sea salt)
Greek Blue, Summer – (Blueberries and tart lemon curd swirled together with silky Papou’s Promise/vanilla.)
American Dream – Papou’s Promise vanilla and Choco-Yala with chocolate cookie crunch, milk and dark chocolate chips, and white chocolate ribbon
Ice cream will be served in hand-piped scoops, waffle cones or pints. Available toppings include cherry preserves, orange preserves, apricot preserves, Mediterranean chocolate, Greek chocolate cookie crumbs and Greek honey.
“Just like Greek yogurt changed everything, Greek Ice Cream is going to set the new standard for ice cream. But, for us, it isn’t just about ice cream, it’s about making my Papou, my grandfather, proud. This is our legacy and we can’t wait to share it with Washington, DC and with America.” – Chrys Kefalas, Yala Greek Founder & Owner.”
