Christopher PopovJuly 6, 2016Cardamom and chocolate noir go well together but anything you get here will leave you satisfied. Perhaps a little on the pricy side but still worth a stop in
Lindsey KimDecember 27, 2014Amazing gelato. The quality and consistently is just like that in Italy. Try the chocolate noir with hazelnut.

Erik RowleyMay 11, 2017The perfect end to a day of site seeing. Take full advantage of samples, and go with two flavors in one cup! I recommend pistachio and strawberry.
- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionJune 21, 2017You can find these tongue-tingling your taste buds-exotic flavors at @freshfarmmarkets Sundays at Dupont Circle. They usually have an eyescream-tonguescream stand. Get cheaper Pints to-go you Addicts!
KarenApril 23, 2023The flavors change periodically, but always amazing. Don't be fooled. A regular sized gelato is plenty - the gelato is very rich and decadent.
Morgan ThomasDecember 16, 2014What a cute coffee shop! The staff is super friendly and the latte I had was yum. Their sipping chocolate is so strong and I bet it would taste great with espresso.
The Hill is HomeJanuary 21, 2012The coconut gelato may elicit tears of joy. No, the dark chocolate orange. No, wait! The almond...And in the winter, the European-style hot chocolate is heavenly. Read more
Ian Bryant-SmithMarch 2, 2015Pretty expensive, but definitely worth a visit every couple of months. Don't forget to try the sipping chocolate!
Faris GhazaliJune 25, 2017Had the hazelnut chocolate, pistachio and espresso. It was soo smooth and creamy. Best gelato yet in US!
JiJune 19, 2018Ideal to start your day with an amazing Americana or sit through the storm, cosy place serving bio ice cream too!
Rodrиго РивераOctober 20, 2019Very fresh gelato done onsite. Classic flavors. Limited seating. Very good consistency, texture and taste. A very good option in DC
Black tea gelato is perfection, and the chai lattes are delicious. Friendly staff, nice people watching from the seats inside.
Underrated for their espresso; try an affogato and get the best gelato and espresso all in one cup!
Erin ShumakerMay 5, 2012Their flavors change all the time, so you can always try something new! Try mixing flavors for a new twist - for example, Black Tea and Vanilla.
Michael ErbMay 26, 2022Try an affogato with the cardamom gelato. Perfectly balanced and delicious after dinner treat!
Trishal KhetiaApril 5, 2013The Affogato are amazing. It's espresso over gelato. I chose the chocolate hazelnut gelato
Josa BalisiAugust 8, 2015The black tea and caffe espresso tastes delicious and a great caffeine pick me up.
- Katarina KatsmaSeptember 9, 2015You can't go wrong with chocolate noir and any of the fruits. Absolutely fantastic!
Vihang MehtaMay 5, 2018The single source chocolate was amazing. We also liked the cardamom and pistachio.- Alaa ShakerAugust 27, 2014Try the Bacio (chocolate hazelnut with hazelnuts and chocolate chips) and the Nocciola (Hazelnut).
DevonJune 21, 2011Be sure to stand your ground in line - servers don't ask who's next, they just look at the tallest person in front of them. I got cut in lone three times before flagging someone down.
Jillian SprengerJune 2, 2012Loved the chocolate orange as well as pistachio! You can get halfsies. Also, try some free samples :-)- Morgan ThomasFebruary 3, 2015The coffee is good but the cafe itself doesn't really have that much seating.They will let you taste anything, just ask.
Danielle ComonSeptember 30, 2011This place is awesome! The folks from Gelato Spot in Phoenix are hacks!
I wish they would have black tea and Bosc pear more often. Super yummy flavors
Dan PullmanMay 2, 2012
Todd DellSeptember 13, 2011Quite authentic gelatri - go for some classics like hazelnut or pistachio. And they make a beautiful cappucino
Johnny SAugust 10, 2010Get you some! Great ingredients and excellent texture-you can't go wrong. Try an old favorite and one that seems weird or new.
- Kate ZwaardJune 20, 2010A lifetime of eatting artifically flavored foods has made me avoid certain flavors, but sorbets here are made with fresh fruit. Try the mojito, grape, banana.
Try their strawberry (if they have) and chocolate hazelnut gelato mixed are the best.
