Such a great little place. Atmosphere is awesome….Cute outdoor seating. We went during the week day and no line! Their Gelato is so decadent and creamy. We got the Mint chip and Tiramisu. Both were to die for! Will definitely be back!

One of the best Icecream I've ever had. I got the cookies and chocolate in a cup. It came with a chocolate filled pirrowet and a pitzel. It was delicious and filling. The man working was very nice. I will be back to this place in the future.
