Drip Affogato

Top choice in New Orleans


Drip serves all kinds of gelato and espresso, but it truly shines when it combines the two into an affogato – espresso or coffee poured onto ice cream. The result is culinary dynamite. If you've just had a good meal downtown, this is the perfect dessert follow up.

You can have ice cream à la carte, create your own affogato or pick from a menu that teams Vietnamese coffee with stroopwafels (Dutch pastries), green-tea ice cream with toasted coconuts, banana ice cream with rum caramel and other flavor combinations that have us getting hot under the collar.
