WE DO NOT ACCEPT TIPS. Ok, that said (in all CAPS), now I can relax, breath, and explain why Rollin’ Gelato does not accept tips. Here is our reasoning for not accepting tips: The customer shouldn’t have to be DIRECTLY responsible for paying the living of the employees of a company (in this case, the …
Compostable — Cups AND Lids
We now have data to indicate that the lids to fully compostable. Before it was just secondary data from the manufacturer. Emily from Texas Township Farmers’ Market, the farmers’ market manager, confirmed today at the market that the cups and lids and spoons all were composted…as she couldn’t determine if there were cups/lids or not. …
Off-season now in Austin; back in the Fall
Some people might find this counter-intuitive, but we are now going into our off-season for Rollin’ Gelato in the Austin market. We will be back at the farmers’ markets in the fall, but can do special catering events during the summer time if needed in Austin. From mid-May to mid-September we will be operating in …

Hello Austin

Volkswagen Thoughts — of the Future
This post isin’t about gelato or one of the VW Buses that we are working on. Rather it is a post of what VW is working on that seems interesting. One, it is Moia, which is based in Berlin. And two, the new VW bus coming in 2022 — the VW ID Buzz. I ran …
VW Dealership Christmas Party
This past weekend, in Kalamazoo, we catered gelato for the local VW dealership, Maple Hill VW. This was a pleasant surprise and a lot of fun. We wanted to bring one of our VW buses for the event, but the snow didn’t cooperate. So as a consolation, we brought the RG delivery vehicle, the 2012 …
Working on the 1972 VW Bus in Austin — the Clean Out
This past weekend, our son, Martin, was in town (in Austin) for Thanksgiving. We took the opportunity to work on cleaning out the 1972 VW Bus that we have for the Austin market. This clean out was much easier than the clean out of the original RG VW Bus (the 1976 VW Bus in Kalamazoo). …

A Week Ago: Picking up a 1969 VW Bus in Michigan
A week ago today, I was in Michigan picking up a 1969 VW Bus. On Wed (Oct 11th), Naya (daughter) and I flew from Austin, stopped in Chicago to visit the Shedd aquarium, and then headed to Kalamazoo. I picked up the U-haul trailer the next morning (Thursday, Oct 12th), drove 45 minutes north of …

Mesh banner, will try it in the Austin market
Last week a new Rollin’ Gelato banner was delivered. The design is the same as our previous banner designs. The difference is the material. This version is a mesh material, rather than a vinyl material. The thought is the mesh will give more a rustic / outdoor look rather than a shiny look. We will …
