La Cremosa
This spot is bringing Italy closer to you by all means. We think you should try out their artisan Italian gelato because it is mind blowing. Honestly, the Pistachio ice cream that these guys create is enough to make you lose your mind and eat the whole tub (it happens, okay). La Cremosa even changed our mind about sorbet – we were never fans until we tried their mango and strawberry flavours… let’s just say we’re hooked!

How Nova Chocolatier, Dylan Jonnson, Got Into Chocolate
Dylan Jonnson secured a position at the 5-star Michelangelo Hotel in Sandton, where he started his career as a chef. He also got the opportunity to work in Scotland at a small boutique hotel in the mountains, where the menu changed daily. This inspired him to explore the potential of food.
Jonnson fell in love with chocolate 15 years ago, and in 2010 opened a small restaurant where everything on the menu had chocolate in it. In 2011, he opened a catering company and made premium chocolate products. To get a better understanding of business, he joined the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship where he got the opportunity to cater for Sir Richard Branson, as well as make exclusive branded chocolates for him. Thereafter, in 2017, Nova Chocolate was born.
