Futura Granita + Gelato - Oakwood, Ontario

Friendly staff and delicious food! Tried the field strawberry granita and the chocolate and pistachio gelato. So yummy!

We tried the Sweet Cream, Strawberry, and Passion Fruit Gelato and Japanese Green Tea Granita. This is my first time trying granita as I never had it before. The flavour of that granita caught me by surprise! Picture a perfect ratio of 'slush/ice' and a perfect sweetness of the green ... tea flavour. It's been one week since we first visited and I'm still craving for more granitas. Definitely worth the 2 hour commute from Oshawa. Would highly recommend! Read more

Though the Gelato is amazing and I would say one of the best in the city, the customer service here is nothing short of horrible. My Fiance and I chose Futura as the Gelato vendor for our wedding as a gesture to support a local small business by our ... home and 2 months before we went in for a tasting. Upon our arrival we were met with a very nice woman (who I think was the wife of the owner) who sat us down and asked us a few questions about the day. We tasted everything and went on to make our final decisions, it was pretty seamless. We discussed how the Gelato would be served which was between 2 different options and mentioned that we would let them know a month before the wedding (which didn't make any difference in the process what so ever). We received an email on June 3rd at 9am (Monday) stating that we did not tell them how the Gelato would be served by May 31st (Friday) and therefor that are cancelling our wedding and not to reply to the email. This above date of May 31st was 6 weeks before our wedding and regardless of if you're serving it in a round or long container does not require more than a week according to the woman we spoke to. This man (Carlo) did not answer and rather ignored all of our phone calls, emails and any source of communication. Now, 4 weeks out, we are left hanging to find another vendor. I will spare all of the other odd things that happened in between but needless to say, not only is this wrong from a mistreatment perspective but how does one operate their business stating "don't reply to this email" after not event trying to call us once or communicate that we were on a tight timeline. Extremely disappointing. Read more

Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts! We got the Pistachio Bronte, Cremino, Raspberry Granita. Best gelato in the city. It's gelato season so I'll tease you with two premium scoops of gelato that's worth the extra charge and more. This dessert is silky smooth and immediately melts in your mouth, overflowing ... with a fragrant, nutty roasted pistachio flavour or a creamy hazelnut with swirls of chocolate for an stunning depth of flavour. The granita also highlights the natural sweet/tart flavour of the raspberry, that's as smooth as icy granita can get. Read more

My first ever visit to Futura Granita happened to be after they placed 3rd in the Gelato Festival World Masters (hosted in Canada) with their flavour “Tamago Kake Gohan”. It’s an egg custard gelato with white sesame crumble and seaweed with miso caramel. It was sooooooooooo good! I was so ... set on one flavour but Cremino caught my eye and it was the best hazelnut tasting gelato ever. More to come this summer. Read more
