Smooth Operator

By Warren Rojas

Prone to soft-serve headaches?

Sinplicity may be WAY too hardcore for you.

Founder Leland Atkinson usually scours farmers markets (seasonal berries and exotic fruits are core constituents) and liquor cabinets (Kahlua, dark rum and bourbon figure prominently) for inspiration.

So, whether you like light (tropical sorbet swirls together mango and lime) or heavy (strawberry shortcake boasts real strawberries, Grand Marnier-spiked cake and dark chocolate chunks), temptation is just a spoonful away.

Next up: porter- and saison-based frozen treats inspired by neighboring Mad Fox Brewing Company.

Sinplicity ice creams are available locally at Balducci’s, select Whole Foods and participating farmers markets or via www.simplicityicecream.com.
