    Carmen's gelato came highly recommended. We tried out an espresso gelato, and a butter pecan Maple gelato. Both were fantastic! The service came with a smile and was very quick. Good prices too. It was nice to top off our tour of the spit with a nice dessert.

    Best gelato, ever, really, EVER. We tried the Sea Salt Caramel, Bourbon Pecan, Chocolate Noir, Mint Chocolate Chip. Favorite was the Bourbon Pecan on tip of the Chocolate Noir. Outstanding and fun place!

    This gelato shop is an absolute gem! Every flavor I’ve tried has been incredibly creamy, rich, and full of flavor. You can tell everything is made with quality ingredients, and there are so many unique options to choose from. The staff is always friendly, patient, and happy to offer samples to help you decide. The shop is clean, inviting, and the perfect place to stop for a sweet treat. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be coming back again and again!

    This is A+++ gelato. Perfectly creamy and very flavorful. Over two nights we tried the peanut butter, cinnamon, and espresso flavors. I also liked that the medium was a small cup with two flavors because who doesn’t want to try two?!
