Building The Perfect Affogato: En Masse + Pretty Cool Ice Cream

During the scorching days of Summertime Chi, a refreshing treat is all you need. Luckily, we are just a stone's throw away from the city's top ice cream shop, Pretty Cool Ice Cream.

With our Logan Square businesses mere steps apart, we collaborated to merge our passions for ice cream and coffee. Partnering with Pretty Cool, we created the ultimate affogato experience. incorporating locally sourced beans from nearby coffee suppliers. An Affogato, an Italian coffee-based dessert, typically features a scoop of gelato or ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso.

Welcoming the Summer breeze and the Logan Square Community, we served up delightful matcha floats, lavender tonic cold brew desserts, and traditional affogatos. All proceeds from the event supported the Abundance Setting, a non-profit organization aiding women and mothers in the culinary industry.

As our architects transformed into baristas and the skilled ice cream artisans from Pretty Cool worked side by side, each affogato was meticulously prepared. The community spirit was the highlight of the evening, as neighbors who were previously strangers bonded over their shared love for cool treats and a worthy cause.

Sweetly,

En Masse 🍨
