From being the first Gelato truck in Washington DC to opening her Pop-up in Union Kitchen's Eckington facility, Gelat'Oh has long been known for premium gelato in the DMV area. Recently, this cherished gelato haven received a well-deserved spotlight during the Women's History Month festivities orchestrated by Mount Vernon Triangle. It's a moment of pride and congratulations, not just for Gelat'Oh itself, but for the incredible journey of its founder and CEO, Sierra Georgia.

Sierra Georgia's journey into the world of gelato began in 2013 when she took a leap of faith, leaving her job at the Federal Aviation Administration to pursue her culinary dreams. Determined to bring the authentic taste of Italian gelato to the streets of D.C., she launched the city's first gelato truck. While successful, Sierra was fueled by a desire for perfection. She then embarked on a pilgrimage to Italy to study the art of gelato making, honing her skills and mastering the craft.

Fast forward to today, Gelat'Oh is quickly making itself a beloved fixture in the local food scene, enchanting taste buds with its creamy textures and irresistible flavors. Sierra's dedication to quality and authenticity has earned her a reputation for excellence, setting her apart in a competitive market.

Sierra Georgia's success story is a shining example of the Union Kitchen Accelerator Program's Phase Two: Product Market Fit. During this phase, entrepreneurs like Sierra Georgia receive tailored support to establish their brands within the local community. This phase focuses on strengthening connections with local consumers, retailers, and partners to drive growth and sustainability.
