Gati, an East Austin bakery, ice cream and brunch spot, will open a second location this weekend named Gati Scoops. The ice cream shop will open to customers on June 27 serving coconut milk ice cream and desserts, according to Liz Harroun, a PR representative for the business.
The context
As a veteran restaurateur, Jam Sanitchat opened Gati in 2020 after owning and operating Thai Fresh since 2008. In the beginning, Gati exclusively sold desserts and ice cream, but later evolved to include an entirely gluten-free brunch and bakery lineup as Sanitchat always dreamed of selling breakfast.
Craving ice cream?
Gati Scoops will be located in the same space as Juiceland and Poke Poke, serving dairy-free and gluten-free ice cream. The menu will feature 16 seasonal flavors.
This summer, patrons can expect to see flavors like blackberry cobbler, blueberry, mango lime, pandan, thai coffee and lavender caramel. The location will also have tamarind candy ice cream and a peach cobbler sundae crafted with local peaches—both of which will only be offered at the Hyde Park store.
For dessert
In addition to cold treats, Gati Scoops will also sell a selection of Gati’s gluten-free baked goods, including coffee cake and brownies. Customers can combine the two by ordering a brownie ice cream sandwich or ice cream cookie sandwich.
The celebration
On opening day, the new ice cream shop will give away a free scoop to its first 100 customers. Each additional customer will receive a free topping with their order, including house-made gluten-free oreos.
