On this episode of The Marketing Medic Podcast, Anthony Clark sits down with Chris Minadakis, founder of DaVinci Gelato Miami, to unpack how a Greek-born, New York–hustle background turned into one of Lincoln Road’s most eye-catching dessert experiences. Chris shares why he built DaVinci around in-house made gelato and a mission that started at home: finding a frozen treat his family could enjoy without the usual “ice cream bloat.” That search led him to grass-fed A2/A2 milk, cleaner ingredients like organic cane sugar and agave, and even new flavors made with buffalo milk for extra creaminess and protein.
You’ll also hear how DaVinci’s bold yellow storefront, kid-friendly display design, and “walkable” menu (gelato, gelato-filled donuts, crepes, waffle cones, mini waffles, sorbets, and sugar-free options) helped it take off—even before heavy marketing. Chris closes with real operator advice on costs, timing, strategy, quality, and service, plus what’s next: more locations and franchising.
