This restaurant is a great spot to enjoy a gelato, thanks to its fantastic location in Encinitas and the pleasant ambiance. However, as a vegan, I was disappointed that the only plant-based options available were sorbets. The flavor of the sorbet I chose was decent, but I was hoping for a creamier option. It seems a bit lacking to only offer sorbets for vegan customers in this day and age. Because of this, I am unsure if I would return. However, if you are not vegan, the gelato options look fantastic, so your experience will probably be much more enjoyable.

This is a charming store with a lovely atmosphere. Although I wasn't a huge fan of all the available flavors, I really enjoyed the amaretto and coconut options. The peanut butter flavor was also a standout choice. The prices are a bit high compared to other gelato shops I've been to, considering the quality and portion sizes. Overall, it's a cute spot that's perfect for dates and family outings.

I ordered passion fruit and mango gelato at this restaurant. I am a huge fan of passion fruit and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying it if you visit. The mango flavor was good, but not as impressive - it had a muted taste. I wish it had been a bit stronger. Overall, the location had a great atmosphere and the gelato tasted amazing.

You could raise your own cow, hand fed on organic grasses and flowers, massaged by loving hands, and milked by virgins and it still wouldn 't taste as good as Gelato 101. The quality is unquestionable, the flavors insanely intense, the Gelato 101 is altogether, ethereal. This place has ruined ice cream for me, happily. Nothing else will do.
