But if you buy the stuff at Ack-A-meee then its local right?

We should bump that thread we had going. It was like an epic battle between Capogiro and Caffe Carmen enthousiasts. People from CC can't accept the fact that you can get good gelato elsewhere. Not only that, it doesn't cost $5.95 a scoop.

no, peopel in pennsport can't wrap their mind around two places existing at the same time serving good gelato and even having different approaches too business. what? not in south philly? can't be good. for the record, it's $4.25 for a small. expensive, yes. geez, step down from your high horses. the argument wasn't that one was better than the other, but that they were different. while capegiro took the approach of creative flavors, I have been under the impression that caffe carmen offers more traditional gelatos. both good, but different. south philly misrepresent! oh wait, it's necesary to knock anything not in south philly isn't it? or is that requisite philadelphia provincialism.
