Though the shop has only a few bar seats, we happily enjoyed our treats outside on the sunlit bench—it was simply perfect. Now, let’s talk about the flavors: **Mojito:** This was refreshingly delicious, bursting with fresh lime juice flavor and that delightful essence of fresh mint. It was an excellent choice for a warm day. **Black Tea Gelato:** This tasted like a rich milk tea, striking the perfect balance with a robust tea flavor that didn’t veer into overly milky territory. It had that indulgent, melt-in-your-mouth texture that great gelato should have, making it a true delight! **Coconut Gelato:** This was a revelation! It tasted just like ripe Thai coconuts without being too sweet—pure bliss. **Mango Sorbet:** This could be one of the finest mango sorbets I’ve ever enjoyed! It captured the essence of frozen mango brilliantly and had that irresistible fragrance that makes mango so special. With such an extensive array of flavors, choosing was a delightful challenge. I’m particularly intrigued by the saffron pistachio for my next visit—it sounds absolutely tempting! Overall, this place is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exquisite frozen treats.

I’ve been wanting to try it for a while and I’m so glad I finally did! I ordered a small, which includes two scoops of ice cream. It was tough to choose the flavors, but I went with dark chocolate and cinnamon, both of which were fantastic. The dark chocolate really satisfies any chocolate craving, while the cinnamon was wonderfully delicious without being overpowering. I thoroughly enjoyed both flavors. They also allow you to sample before you buy, which definitely helped me decide on the cinnamon. However, I should mention that it’s quite pricey. Two smalls came to over $17 before tip. I get that the ingredients are top-notch, but wow, that’s a bit steep.

The gelato was disappointing—not worth the hype or the price. I also had a bad Cortado. While there were long lines, that wasn't the main issue. read more The gelato was disappointing—not worth the hype or the price. I also had a bad Cortado.

I ordered a half scoop of pistachio and half almond. They were both so creamy and delicious but the almond was my favorite.

They had a wonderful menu of gelato with very unique flavors. Hubby opted for their gelato: turmeric ginger, mojito, and chocolate hazelnut. He loved it! I wish I wanted something cold but I needed something hot to warm me up. After asking the guy behind the counter what exactly sipping chocolate was and given a sample I chose this. Omg. Heaven in a cup.
