Highly recommend, cant wait to see their selection of fallflavors soon! ”
“ Owners did a spectacular job with the renovations. Best gelato Ive ever had and the baked goodies are amazing too! All their servers are polite and welcoming. Last few times I was there I was waited on by Ethan. He was very helpful, greeted me with a smile and knowledgeable with the difference baked goods they had. He was also patient with me because I couldnt decide between the 2 newest flavors. Pumpkin or apple pie. Great place and staff! ”
“ The BESTtasting gelato Ive had in a long time. Its in a beautiful, newly renovated storefront that was the bar next to the bowling alley across from Subway. Today I had a medium cup of chocolate hazelnut and vanilla. They were both delicious but the vanilla was ahmazing!!! They also had some pastries from the shop next door, across from Goodies. Yeah, this place is going to become my new favorite addiction. Welcome to the neighborhood!!! ”
