Gelato heaven. Get the honey lavender. 10/10

Incredible flavors. I had a scoop each of juniper and black licorice.
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011
Try the refreshing black-grape sorbet, it packs a clean yet potent ripe-fruit punch. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more

Go for the kiwi and tarragon - alternate bites for a sweetly tart and creamy experience
Michael HusseySeptember 18, 2018
It’s very good, but very expensive. Around the corner is a Van Leeuwen’s that has an equally satisfying Sunday for $6 instead of $12.50.
Michelle WilesSeptember 19, 2016
Good ice cream but stingey on the samples. Plan accordingly
Diana PearlJuly 22, 2013
While in line, take a look at the flavors - there's no list and they could ask you to order before you've made it past all of them.
Diana GalvisApril 8, 2015
They make fresh new flavors everyday. I recommend the raspberry sorbet and burned marshmallows flavors
Russell HirschornAugust 27, 2016
Was not very impressed. Out of a lot of flavors by evening. At least the ones I got were just ok. My wife loved hers. Worth another try.

The hazelnut & Turkish fig ice cream was delicious but then I found a hair inside...

Pistachio and Cheddar Cheese both good!!!
Brighde ReedJuly 15, 2013
The only #vegan option is sorbet. Strawberry flavour was the best I'd had.
Longfei XingAugust 5, 2016
It's a little melty but still good! sesame is tasty

Both key lime and Cream cheese were great!

Roasted Cashew is delicious! The other flavors are ok but not spectacular.

Get the sandwich next door first, then come here for dessert.

Black Sesame and Salted Caramel are excellent. The Grumpy coffee is great - I get it at least once a day.

Do not miss the affogato, satisfies both ice cream and caffeine fix in a harmonious contrast of sweet and bitter
natalie kayApril 10, 2023

Gets very crowded very quickly, but worth the madness.

Cannot imagine better gelato anywhere, not even in Italy. Wow! Try the black sesame and fig.

Ask nicely for a sprinkle of malt powder on top of your gelato!

Turkish fig with any sorbet makes a creamy refreshing combo!

I still prefer their mom-and-pop shop on Orchard. The flavors are fresher over there and the lines shorter.
