Employees Alex Resnick, 16, Highland Park, and Allena Lawrence, 16, Lake Forest, wait on the crowds at Frost's opening last week. Resnick said the most important thing is to "just be really friendly." He prefers sea salt caramel and she prefers cheesecake gelato.

Frost isn't afraid to boast about how many fewer calories are in its gelato compared to ice cream.

Before celebrating its ribbon cutting last Friday, Highland Park's newest gelato place had its grand opening last Thursday night.

A full house came out for the event, which included samples of the gelato (all made in-store daily). Patch columnist Ed Brill was there with his daughter, and he'll discussing the experience in this Wednesday's Highland and Ravines (though he already gave away what his favorite flavor was on Frost's Facebook page).

Check out photos from the opening above.
