Το παγωτό μηχανής είναι μία από εκείνες τις γευστικές αναμνήσεις που θέλεις να ζεις ξανά και ξανά, ειδικά όταν σου προσφέρεται φρέσκο στους πιο λαχταριστούς συνδυασμούς που μπορείς να σκεφτείς. Στο Crépe Diem, δίπλα στις ξεχωριστές κρέπες, αλμυρές και γλυκές, θα βρεις θεϊκό παγωτό μηχανής στις κλασικές γεύσεις βανίλια, σοκολάτα, φράουλα και μπανάνα, αλλά και σε συνδυασμούς που θα σε εκπλήξουν ευχάριστα."
