Our Story
La Carraiais an all-natural, small-batch gelato café rooted in Edmonton, crafted with premium Italian ingredients, local dairy, and real seasonal fruits. We make everything in-store, in small batches, with a commitment to freshness and honest quality.
Our name and inspiration come from La Carraia in Florence—where we first tasted gelato that truly set a new standard.We knew Edmonton deserved that same level of craftsmanship, so we brought a piece of that tradition home and built upon it in our own way.
While we honour the foundations of Italian gelato making, our flavours carry our identity: Arab, Muslim women infusing our heritage, nostalgia, and creativity into every scoop. From classics to culturally inspired twists, our menu reflects both where we come from and the community we love.
Edmonton is home. It’s the neighbourhoods, schools, and people who shaped us—and giving back is central to our mission. We proudly support local school programs, collaborate with artists and authors, and partner with inner-city agencies to uplift vulnerable communities.
La Carraia is more than gelato. It’s a space built on warmth, connection, and joy, created to share exceptional flavour while contributing meaningfully to the city that raised us.
