TeresaNovember 3, 2015The gelato is rich and creamy - absolutely delicious! You get to choose many flavors in your cup for the same price! One downside is that the portion is quite big and can be overwhelming to eat.
ari jerueFebruary 4, 2012Med. sea salt is my favorite, add it with monkey business & you get salted monkey business!!!! hunka hunka chocolate is an amazingly spicy chocolate gelato also. Staff is so fun & helpful too:)
Melody LeggeMay 24, 2015Strawberry smoothie is so good. All the flavours have been wonderful so far and there is a great selection.
Amanda VeversSeptember 17, 2013The rose gelato was delicious. I tend toward sorbetti in general but decided to try it because it was an offering I've never seen anywhere else. Rose and pear together is an unbeatable combination.
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014Sea-salt caramel and panna cotta are the most popular flavors of gelato, while lemon and chocolate are the highest sellers in the sorbet department. Read more
They have a rotating selection of gelato and other equally-good frozen treats. It's awesome to pair random flavors to see how good they go together since they're delicious enough on their own.
RoofflesOctober 11, 2014Gelato and soo many varieties. I had the affogato, espresso with my choice of carmel sea salt gelato. Perfect!
Time Out ChicagoAugust 2, 2014The Lakeview location of the Texas-based franchise is basically Baskin-Robbins: Italian Edition, but aside from the color palette, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Read more- L KDecember 22, 2014Amazing gelato flavors. They even have to-go options for the freezer, if you want.
Aishwarya SharmaMay 22, 2012You can have 3 cup sizes and can chose 3/4/5 flavors in 1 cup based on size. :) The more the merrier!
Jamez Hof-BroAugust 18, 2013If you can't find a flavor you like at this place, then you may have personal issues. Better than Bobtail for sure.
Anja HarrisJanuary 14, 2013EXCELLENT lattes. They add whatever flavor you want by melting in a scoop of gelato.
Molly GodfreySeptember 21, 2014Great prices, selection, service and probably the best gelato I've ever had. Seriously!
So much fun! You can eat three to five flavors in a cup and flavors change from time to time.
Everyone is always so cheerful! Try the Dulce de Leche. It's brilliant.
If it's your first time here, don't be afraid to tell the staff, they'll be extra helpful and generous on samples!
Stephen LawrenceFebruary 17, 2013The affogato was so good and the prices were reasonable, will be back soon.
The Mediterranean sea salt caramel is to die for. Milk and cookies is also really good!
They do gelato right here!! Super awesome service team, unbelievable gelati. And the non-dairy options will make any vegan happy.
These guys know chocolate! From the chocolate sorbet to the chocolate chocolate chip, your taste buds will thank you.
Kelli BjornrudOctober 24, 2010Try the vanilla lavender chocolate chip, cause you can't go wrong with flowers and chocolate!

Sydney WilliamsMarch 11, 2010Anything with sea salt is divine. Olive oil and black pepper is outstanding as well.
OMG, this gelato is to die for! And I don't say that lightly.
