Bomba Gelato

What is Bomba Gelato? Operating out of the historic South Market hall at 93 Front Street East, Bomba Gelato is a family-run Italian counter dedicated to intensely focused, small-batch gelato and traditional dolci. The footprint is purely a grab-and-go counter with no dedicated seating, meant for quick transactions before you spill out onto Front Street or wander the market aisles.

Bomba Gelato Menu & What to Order The rotating case leans into bold, uncompromising profiles, anchored by nutty staples like Beyond Pistacchio di Bronte and the velvety Impossible Piedmont Hazelnut, best scooped into a freshly pressed, hand-made waffle cone. Pastry work holds equal weight here, particularly the caramelized artisan Basque cheesecake and grab-and-go jars of dark chocolate mousse and tiramisu. For dietary considerations, the Dutch cheesecake gelato offers a remarkably creamy gluten-free option, while fruit-forward sorbetti like Lemon Unlimited provide sharp palate cleansers.

Know Before You Go This is strictly a walk-in counter operation, and lines swell into market traffic on Saturday mornings and sunny weekend afternoons. The stall is an easy five-minute walk east from Union Station, making public transit far preferable to navigating market-area street parking. While standard market hours wrap by 5:00 p.m. on weekends and 7:00 p.m. weekdays, monitor their Instagram for occasional late-night dessert hours.
