Hazmieh, Baabda
Oh My Gelato!

Oh My Gelato! is a gelato boutique in Hazmieh, just southeast of Beirut, with a second shop in Dbayeh. It makes gelato fresh in the traditional Italian way and uses Italian ingredients for its base, then adds Lebanese ideas to the flavor list. Rose loukoum, the rose-scented Turkish delight sold in every Lebanese sweets shop, shows up as a gelato, and pistachio is offered as a sorbet as well as a cream flavor. The shop's work earned it a place as a finalist in the 2017 Gelato World Tour, an international competition for artisanal gelato makers. It is a reliable stop for anyone in Hazmieh or on the coastal highway at Dbayeh who wants proper Italian-style gelato with a local twist.
