A Brooklyn-based, family-run gelato company has opened its first brick-and-mortar store in Williamsburg. <\/p>\n

Common Meadows Creamery<\/a> (227 Grand St.) soft-opened a few weeks ago with a rotating selection of artisanal gelato made with unique, locally-sourced ingredients.<\/p>\n

Common Meadows was founded in 2020 as a wholesale company. In 2023, it was invited to participate in Williamsburg\u2019s Smorgasburg, and being there marked \u201can incredible shift in the company\u201d because the team realized that locals loved Common Meadows\u2019 untraditional flavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Common Meadows focuses on using only the best ingredients that their small, three-person team can find.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe source our milk and cream from upstate New York. Many of our fruits also come from upstate New York although we work with artisanal farmers and purveyors from all over the world,\u201d Common Meadows Creamery told Greenpointers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus is on creating gelato that is uncomplicated and delicious. We work with as many local farmers as possible, and strive to have a personal connection with every purveyor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Common Meadows\u2019 gelato flavors rotate regularly. There is normally a selection of traditional flavors like vanilla alongside more unique options. <\/p>\n

One example is sake-flavored gelato made with sake from Brooklyn Kura. Another is Jonagold apple-flavored gelato made with apples from New York\u2019s Samascott Orchards.<\/p>\n

The Common Meadows team told Greenpointers that they decided to open their first shop in the neighborhood because they \u201clove Williamsburg and Greenpoint and spend a lot of time here shopping and eating.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

They added that Smorgasburg had a lot to do with the shop\u2019s location because they developed \u201ca cult-like following in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people from those days have come to visit our new shop already,\u201d Common Meadows Creamery said.<\/p>\n

Common Meadows Creamery\u2019s current hours are Wednesday through Saturday noon to 10 p.m. and Sunday noon to 8 p.m.<\/p>\n
