Christopher Elbow is ready to show off the fruits or chocolates or whatever other ice cream flavor he's been laboring on for tonight's First Friday visitors at his shop in the Crossroads.
"I'm revisiting the classics -- looking to make a fresher, stronger strawberry flavor," says Elbow. This is in anticipation of the new shop, Glace Artisan Ice Cream, that Elbow hopes to open by mid-to-late May at 4960 Main.
Elbow signed the lease for the space in January and received a construction permit three weeks ago. The space is being built-out now.
"It will be modern, white and clean. A little colder than [the space downtown], a play on the coldness of ice cream," he says.
When Elbow was scouting locations, the new restaurant row on Main Street drew him in. The shop is located in the same development at Spin! Neopolitan Pizza and Accurso's.
"It's a cool little
corridor, close to Brookside, with plenty of families walking by," says Elbow.
And for those who enjoy a piece of chocolate with their frozen custard, the new shop won't change Elbow's partnership with Foo's Fabulous Frozen Custard.

Fantastic ice cream! We went to visit my sister-in-law and her husband, we are always looking for something interesting and glace` delivered. I thought that not only was the product of a high quality and unforgetable! I felt that the store itself was very unique and casual. I am interested if you consider franchising?
Very disappointing, especially for the price. Flavors were unusual, but not necessarily appealing. (Don't tell me you're out of "Pork Chop" today!) They keep the ice cream at a high serving temperature, so with no lids available, so you better be prepared to eat what you buy right at the counter or you'll have it all over yourself and/or your car. I'll stick to Foo's, or better yet, Sheridan's.
