    I’ve been happily enjoying Gypsy gelato for years now. My go to flavor has always been salted caramel with a generous drizzle of salted caramel sauce. I’ve been off and on out of town for some years and returned to enjoy my salted caramel again. The trip today was such a let down. I wonder if there are new owners or something because I ordered two cups of salted caramel and it tasted like straight up watery vanilla milk. I also had to ask for my caramel to be drizzled on, and the staff made the saddest drizzle. I hope they bring back the salted caramel I remember and love because this was not the one :(

    There was a long line when we got here after dinner. This is a gelato store I would recommend as they have many unique flavors that I haven’t had elsewhere. Once such flavor is the Thai flavor of “Tom Kha”. We did a taste test and it had flavors of turmeric, coconut, and lemongrass. But it wasn’t something i prefer in gelato. We end up sharing lilikoi, toasted coconut haystack and Mauka trail (coffee, chocolate, and macadamia nuts). It was delicious!!!! There are 2 benches to sit right outside the store.

    Gypsea Gelato has been one of my favorite dessert spots during my stay in Kona. They have a great selection of gelato and sorbet, with plenty of flavors to choose from. Everything I've tried has been flavorful, high quality, and consistently good. The staff have always been friendly and welcoming. I've visited several times and have always had a great experience. I recently tried Gecko Girlz Shave Ice across from this place and I personally wouldn't recommend it. Gypsea Gelato is far superior in terms of flavor, quality, and variety. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

    Obsessed with this gelato! So many incredible island inspired flavors. Best toasted coconut gelato I’ve ever had. No wonder they have been voted best choice for so many years. Must have!
