Gelato Messina is no stranger to mixing its flavours up, but this upcoming tribute to David Lynch’s classic show Twin Peaks (and its recent return to TV) is something else entirely.
Not only will the Newtown store become the ‘Double R Diner’ from the original show, packing a bunch of references for fans, and some really delicious sounding flavours. Along with the three new flavours, the store will also be serving a special gelato “cherry pie”, but only 50 slices before it’s gone.
Not to worry though, because the gelato flavours will be handed out for free between 12pm and 4pm, and then again from 5pm to 10pm. As Good Food reports, the store will even be fitted out to look just like the diner, with wood paneling, a checkered floor, and special uniforms for staff – and be warned, it’s a full takeover, so no other flavours will be available.
All sounds like a pretty good way to keep people interested in the cold stuff as we rapidly approach winter, so check out the flavours below, and mark May 22 down in your calendar for a trip to 262 King St, Newtown.
