Got my daily e-mail update from Southern Ice Cafe and was surprised to see a hummus-based platter on the menu. I don’t know of any other restaurant in town that has hummus on the menu.

From the e-mail:

Middle Eastern Plate - Our homemade hummus is one of our most popular items, whether in the Veggie Club or in the Veggie Sub or Wrap. Based on that popularity, we are offering a $5.99 special homemade Middle Eastern Plate including:

Hummus
Baba Ganoush (smoked eggplant dip)
Phyllo & feta cheese pastry
Tabouli (bulghur salad)
Pita

Well I finally made it to Southern Ice this weekend. I have to say the texture of their gelato is very close if not exact to what I had in Italy but I was sort of disappointed in the taste. The sample I tried seemed to have a bunch of taste but not the right texture but the cup of it I had was the right texture without much taste.

I finally ate at Southern Ice Cafe this weekend. I had a chicken and hummus sandwich and a combo cup of white peach sorbetto and pistachio gelato. I enjoyed everything. My only problem was narrowing down which icy treat to get.

The restaurant also has a daily e-mail update of its gelato flavors and soups. Join the list by e-mailing southernicecafe@att.net.

And, I’ve added a sample gelato menu to the post above. The menu changes every day so if you are itching for a specific flavor, I’d recommend you call before you go so you don’t get your hopes dashed.

Co-owner Bob Schwartz says the first full week of Southern Ice Cafe was “extraordinary. The response to both the gelato and the sandwiches/soups/salads was even better than we could have expected.”

And we got an e-mail update today alerting us that the restaurant has a few new gelatos on the menu.

Also from the e-mail: “The popularity of our fruit sorbettos is also growing, as we add new flavors made from the fresh fruits of the season. Cantaloupe Sorbetto is the latest to be added. For those who aren’t familiar with sorbetto, it is not an icy dessert like sorbet (despite the similar name). Sorbetto is creamy like gelato, but is made without milk or cream. It is dairy-free and fat-free.”

I stopped in Saturday night and the menu is great. They have a variety of salads, hot subs, toasted subs, and wraps–plus the gelato and coffee/espresso drinks.
