Our Story...
Two ice cream lovers swiped right and together had this bebe. It was not because of a midlife crisis or a hobby, Bebe Zito was born out of obsession and gluttony. They live to provide flavor vacations in the medium of cup, cones or pints. Get ready to blast off to space with Bebe Zito as your captain!

Bebe Zito is a small batch ice cream company that hand crafts its products at the Good Acre in Minnesota. Bases are made with high quality ingredients, with mix-ins that bring you to flavor town. We at Bebe Zito champion creativity and authenticity. The parts of you that make you different are what we celebrate. Our shop is a place to celebrate monumental moments in your life, and be there for you in times of need.

Ben & Gabriella invite you into their family. We want to get to know each and everyone of you to provide flavors and a space that make you feel at home.
Where does Bebe Zito come from?
Gabriela conceptualized the brand. Bebe Zito's name is a play on a pet name from Gabriella's Brazilian cultural ties. The artwork pays homage to Ben and his superfluous amount of tattoos. Also its just fun to say and it's cute as hell!
Why ice cream?
I started making ice cream as a child & started using professional equipment in the times when Goerge W. Bush was president. What made me realize this as a possible career path was when I met the creator of cookies n' creme (John Harrison) & he told me I make perfect ice cream while competing on the food network. I later went on to develop 2 previous ice cream concepts recipes in uptown w/ flavors such as Black (pictured to the right) , cereal killers & valrhona chocolate swirl & many more. So I have recently decided to leave my professional chef career to pursue my favorite thing & now i get to make it with the person I love the most, Gabby.
