Grateful Spoon Gelato Today
Usually we associate happy hour with frozen margaritas not frozen treats. But at Grateful Spoon Gelato inside La Grande Orange Grocery they do happy hour with your sweet tooth in mind. From 3 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday you can get half off any scoop of gelato. The shop offers an ever-changing menu of flavors that includes both classic and more unique options -- think honey lavender, pistachio, and reisling-poached apple.
