In the mood for gelato? But not just any gelato... no. One that blows your taste buds away? Well look no further. Three words: Blue Ice GelatoThis always clean and cute parlor offers gelato, coffee and affogato each round table offers fresh smelling flowers as you enjoy each scoop of decadent heavenly goodness.
You will be treated each time by friendly faces offering you spoons and spoons of samples. Can't decide what you want? Perfect! Try them all. Good thing you can chose two flavors on the small size cup!
I've been here 3x's and they have been consistently delicious with their quality ingredients and excitement to serve you.
Seriously, try them all. The flavors will make you fall in love and maybe even inspire you to travel to Italy.
You're welcome. - 11/30/2018

I was craving something sweet after sushi, so we stopped in to check out the gelato here. The two ladies at the counter were super friendly and let us try a bunch of flavors before we figured out what we wanted. I enjoyed all of the flavors I tried and appreciated that they had at least one vegan flavor for my lactose-intolerant friends. Their popular cookie butter flavor really is delicious (I hadn't realized I liked cookie butter until I tried theirs), and I was very happy with the autumn flavors, like pumpkin (with all of those lovely, warm, fall spices) and vegan sweet potato. The biggest struggle was deciding which two flavors to pick for my small bowl. (Ultimately, I went with cookie butter and vegan sweet potato). If I wasn't so full from dinner, I would have gotten one of the yummy-looking vanilla or chocolate waffle cones with my gelato.The toddler contentedly munched on our cookies which came with the gelato, so we had a few peaceful moments to savor our gelato... until he got a taste of my cookie butter gelato and polished it off with a gleeful smile. Moral of the story: eat all of your cookie butter gelato before your toddler can get to it, and/or order one for him/her. Unfortunately, we didn't take pictures, because we basically inhaled our gelato (with eager assistance from a small friend). If we were back in the area, I'd definitely go again. - 11/03/2018
Holy Cow! I've had a lot of different ice creams and gelatos in my time but this place is incredibly fresh and flavorful . The owner is proud of his craft (as he should be) and liberal with samples as he explains the different flavors. This is a 'must stop' for any serious dessert eater. - 8/19/2019

Ava Emily Maneval7/20/2019This man and his shop are over and beyond. I cannot rave enough about him and his Gelato. Hes passionate about what he does and its contagious. I've travelled all over the world and I can safely say. with no qualms, that this is the best gelato I've ever had. His Stracciatella springs me back to my childhood with one taste. It's hard to choose a flavor because they're all yummy!read moreread less
