Wednesday mid-week gelato with BB — pistachio + hazelnut + pecan + strawberry at $9 via Burpple Beyond. The four-scoop assortment at the subscription discount.
We ordered (Burpple Beyond):
- Pistachio scoop

- Pecan scoop
- Strawberry scoop
Total: $9 via Burpple Beyond.
The Burpple Beyond math on gelato: standard pricing for four scoops at the specialty gelato spots runs $16-24; the Burpple Beyond deal brings it to $9 — about 60% savings versus full price.
The four-scoop assortment is the proper way to test a specialty gelato shop. Picking multiple flavours across the menu lets you compare the spot’s range — the nut scoops (pistachio + hazelnut + pecan) plus the fruit scoop (strawberry) cover different categories.
The pistachio scoop was the headline. Specialty gelato shops compete on the pistachio quality — proper Sicilian or Iranian pistachios (with the visible nut pieces and the deep nutty flavour), or the budget Turkish or generic pistachios (which lack the depth). The properly-sourced pistachio scoop has the signature pale brown-green colour and the dense nutty character.
The hazelnut scoop was the second nut option. Piemonte hazelnuts (Italian) are the premium variety; the budget tier uses generic hazelnut. The proper hazelnut scoop has the toasted-warm flavour and the slight roasted-nut bitter undertone.
The pecan scoop was the third nut option, less common at specialty gelato shops. Pecan is the American native nut that pairs well with caramel or butterscotch base; the standalone pecan scoop has the buttery-rich flavour profile.
The strawberry scoop was the fruit contrast. Proper strawberry gelato uses fresh strawberry purée or fresh-fruit pieces; the budget version uses strawberry syrup or strawberry flavouring. The proper strawberry has the clean berry flavour with the slight tart-and-sweet balance.
At $9 for four specialty gelato scoops via Burpple Beyond, this is excellent value. We probably wouldn’t have ordered four scoops at full pricing; the deal makes the four-scoop format accessible.
Burpple Beyond gelato deals continue to be one of the better value-driver categories in the subscription. Premium gelato is the kind of indulgence that’s hard to justify at full pricing for regular weekly visits; the deal makes the format accessible.
The Wednesday mid-week gelato run is the small indulgence that breaks up the work week.
Overall: 4.6 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Excellent gelato quartet via Burpple — would chase the next deal.
