Owned and operated by the same team as Viva Las Arepas and featuring the skills of Desyree Alberganti, Art of Flavors had seemingly gotten an inordinate amount of local and national press leading up to my September visit and bringing along a trio of friends including one I can only describe as an ice cream maven the small shop on Las Vegas Boulevard more than exceeded high expectations. Featuring both classic and novel flavors with all natural ingredients, no artificial colors, and a slow churning process that allows for exemplary density and mouth feel each and every sample tasted was a spot on representation of its signature ingredients, the Pear and Gorgonzola and Olive Oil Rosemary truly savory and subtly swet while the fior de latte was one of the most impressive ‘pure’ flavors I’ve ever had the opportunity to taste. Opting for 3 flavors at a mere $6 and sticking to similar flavors harkening breakfast at a great bakery my duo of cinnamon roll and bombolini were similar but distinct, the later with a subtle yeastiness and slightly sweeter than the former, while the extracted white coffee bean flavor was every bit on par with some of the best in the nation, gelato or ice cream, of which a few of us have tried more than a few.
