How’s Teyavon in Jackson?

Went to Miele Gelateria, was really impressed with the selection and flavors, very flavorful
The guy gave me almost every flavor to taste while I was waiting for the chocolate Dubai to come out 😋
Overall 10/10

@moko Any insights on this hechsher?
Does he ever comment on a hechsher? I'm assuming it's a fine line to balance in terms of lashon hara.

When are they opening? Same Bravos as the city? Tuscany in Howell is officially the Bravos chef and it tasted just so, one of the top Pizzas I’ve had… excited for this to open…

Please email them and ask them to get JSOR. They've emailed me back and told me they'd consider it if there's demand.
