Doug and Olek and Kieran
Chima are the owners of Kofi.
So Kofi is like traditional Indian ice cream.
It's dense, using more milk than cream.
There's some that have saffron pistachios,
some have cardamom in it, Rosew,
kind of like the flavor of Indi.
For us. But they've also combind
those traditional tastes with
treats from their childhood.
My personal favorite is the S'm.
I'll take a Oreo, an Oreo one.
I'll dip it in dark chocolate
and and just sit there,
take the marshmallow fluff,
toast it with some Graham
crackers on it. It's so good.
It's a it's a really,
really fun thing.
All that fun started when
the couple began selling at
farmers markets in 2019.
Got a small walk up window off Alberta
in 2021 and now to this brick and mortar
off N Williams Ave. near Northeast Beach.
It's brand new, just opened last month.
It's a really cool,
cool thing that you know,
you come in and you can literaly
create your own dessert.
Take your pops, dip it in
whatever it is you want.
We have three different
variations of chocolate.
This is cookies and cream.
These ice pops are a fusion
of flavors melting their
heritage with how they grew up.
Dip it in some dark chocolate,
but the best. Seller is a class,
a nod to their Indian backgroun.
Number one is mango looking.
No matter what it is,
people will always go for that .
It's more mangoes and yogurt.
I want you guys to try some.
It's so good. She's a messy eat.
Our motto is happiness.
It's everywhere here.
We've got a lot.
We've got to have more fun
in this world and
if we can help with that, that's awesome.
It's the best. I
love it. So
you saw me grab the bags in the
story and I have them here and I
didn't promise you, but I said ,
maybe you'll get a try them.
I have some ice pops from Kofi OK Mango
Lissi which is the most popular flavor,
Mango yogurt Pista which is pistachio
very popular as well and the
standard kind of cookies and crm
if you would like to just kind .
Go with what you might know a little bit
more of which one would you guys like?
OK, you get the mango.
Let's see who wants
for beauty rod. I'll thank you.
I'll do pistachio.
OK, pistachio or pista for you.
And then pick pistachio.
And I mean, I'll get that one second,
but I will try to cookies and cream. OK.
A large Oreo right in the middle. OK.
So while you guys are opening i,
the reason that Karen and
Guggen decided to open up the
shop is because they couldn't.
Oh, can you not open them?
You're getting it, Okay.
There it is. He got it. He got .
So while you guys are opening ad
struggling with a plastic package there,
they decided to open up the shop
because they didn't find any ofs
coal feet anywhere else in Port.
So they decided, you know what,
Why not? Let's, let's get this .
Are you guys, are you guys Okay right now?
Oh, my gosh. Take a bite. I know, Relax.
And it's a little different
than your standard.
Maybe like ice cream,
but I think a little lighter to,
in some ways. And not as sweet.
And that's a characteristic
of a lot of Asian desserts,
actually. OK, yes.
So now that you've stuffed your faces,
rod, you're going to have
a little time to prepare
for your weather forecast.
Really good.
Am I supposed to move now?
No, I think not.
Too sweet is the key there, rig?
It's not overly sweet at all,
but it's very refreshing. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah. And if.
Oh, what? Well, you're going to
make that Oreo cookies too. Yep.
Cookies and cream. Totally. OK.
