Nitrolado, A New Dessert Experience
10.28.16
Nitrolado in Garden Grove is the brainchild of four friends who shared a dream of becoming successful entrepreneurs while elevating dessert offerings. They introduced a brand new type of dessert experience—freshly made gelato made by liquid nitrogen served in churro bowls--with affordable prices without compromising quality.
Nitrolado’s handcrafted gelato flavors include Durian Avocado, Sea Salt Caramel with torched S’mores and much more. It’s the only spot in Orange County to serve churro bowls which come in 5 flavors including Cinnamon, Oreo and even Matcha Green Tea!
Nitrolado is on a mission to deliver quality and memorable experiences to each and every customer. To achieve this goal, customers are more than welcome to receive exchanges or even refunds if they are not fully satisfied.
And now, they are serving limited Halloween themed desserts that come in great LED cups.
They are also offering a special from Friday, Oct 28 to Sunday, Oct. 30: Buy one, get one for 50% off anything on the menu for all guests in costumes.
Open 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 2 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Friday; 1 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Saturday; 1 to 11:30 p.m. Sunday.
