A relatively new spot for gelato in the west, Burnt Cones’ selection might be a little on the safer side (as compared to the other newer gelato shops) but each crowd-pleasing flavour seemed to be a hit and well-executed.

Having paired their waffle ($6) which came with a choice of icing sugar and syrup, with their premium Pistachio and Strawberry Basil ice cream; I love the combination of the creamy rich nuttiness from the former as well as the refreshing tartness of the sorbet. The Pistachio was sufficiently fragrant, earthy, and not too sweet. Similarly, the Strawberry Basil had a great texture. The vibrant scoop had the right balance with a good dose of berries and herbaceous taste too. The waffle itself was crispy, a tad dense, and somewhat came off a tad dry in my opinion but worked well in mopping up the gelato - serving as a great after-meal treat.
