In Anchorage, Angel's Frozen Treats — named after the owner's late sister — specializes in Italian ice. ”It brings me a lot of joy when people speak positively about Angel’s because I feel like it’s bringing energy to her spirit,” Calvin Gadson said.

Calvin left Philadelphia to join the military and had the opportunity to travel the country. He made a point to find Italian ice in all the cities he visited as a way to remember his hometown. After Angel died in 2014 of complications from diabetes, it became a way to honor her memory. When he learned that there was no Italian ice producer in Anchorage, Gadson decided to fill that void himself. Last summer, after eight years of civilian life in Anchorage, Calvin and Iwaya bought a batch freezer and started by selling Italian ice in their neighborhood and around Anchorage.[This year, encouraged by the sudden popularity of Italian ice and funded by their mobile sales, they opened a brick-and-mortar shop at 5600 DeBarr Road.
“It looks like ice cream, but it tastes like fruit, and there’s no dairy, so it’s like the best of both worlds,” Gadson said.Gadson said 98% of Angel’s Italian ice is non-dairy and is made with 100% cane sugar. It is generally made out of fruit, water and sugar, although it is easy to customize. Calvin and Iwaya have created kosher, 100% vegan, allergy- and sugar-free batches. In the shop, they layer it with soft serve, Dole Whip and toppings like fruit, cookies and candy bars.
The Gadsons are both still currently working day jobs, but they hope to be able to fully focus on the new venture soon. Iwaya Gadson is pregnant with their fifth child, and she won’t return to her job as a certified medical assistant after the baby is born.
