The Emmert family — owners of Cold Fusion — send this note to the Westport community:
With bittersweet emotions, we announce that Cold Fusion Gelato will close at the end of August. We will focus on the manufacturing side of our business.
As we enter our 6th summer season, we have so much gratitude for our wonderful customers, generations of staff and the community. Whether you’ve come by to satisfy a craving, to celebrate a special occasion or simply for a cup of coffee, it’s been our pleasure to serve you.
We are passionate about creating an all-natural, preservative-free, artisan product. We sincerely hope you’ve enjoyed our gelato and the experience in our store.

Westport is a special place for families, and that is reflected at Cold Fusion. We consider it a privilege to be a place where many teens experience their first job.
It’s been a such a joy to be a part of our employees’ journey growing into adulthood. Many of our alumni stay in touch; quite a few have since graduated college and started their careers. We couldn’t be prouder.
As 20-year residents of Westport, the store has become our second home downtown. We are thankful for one last season of meeting new customers, family meet-ups, laughter and smiling faces.
Come join us for as much gelato as you can handle for the next few months — and look out for our product at surrounding supermarkets and restaurants.
With love and appreciation,
The Emmert Family
Eric and Kelly Emmert.
