Gati, an East Austin bakery, ice cream and brunch spot, opened a second location on June 27 named Gati Scoops. The ice cream shop serves coconut milk ice cream and baked goods.
“We’re thrilled to become part of the Hyde Park community, owner Jam Sanitchat said. “For years, many of our customers have asked us to open a location farther north, and we’re so excited that it’s finally here.”
The context
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 is located in the same space as Juiceland and Poke Poke, serving dairy-free and gluten-free ice cream. The menu features 16 seasonal flavors, along with a selection of Gati’s gluten-free baked goods, including coffee cake and brownies.
This summer, patrons can purchase flavors like blackberry cobbler, blueberry, mango lime, pandan, thai coffee and lavender caramel. The location also serves 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.
“Our hope is that this space becomes a neighborhood gathering place where friends, families and neighbors can come together to enjoy three beloved Austin local businesses under one roof.,” Sanitchat said. “We can’t wait to welcome the Hyde Park community and share our ice cream with you.”
The celebration
At its grand opening, the new ice cream shop gave away free scoops to its first 100 customers. The team gave out all of the scoops within the first 45 minutes of opening, according to a representative from the business.
