Review β„–1

Me and my friends were in the mood for ice cream and decided to look up places near by. We found the most adorable Gelato shop. The ambience was so cozy and warm. It felt like I was in someones home in Italy. He had Billy Holiday playing and it was the perfect Sunday vibes. The owner was extremely gracious and told us a little about his business. The Gelato is all organic and they dont use any artificial ingredients. When I say it was literally the most authentic tasting delicious Gelato Ive ever had I mean it. It tastes like the owner is in the back churning the ice cream himself. (Obviously I dont know how to make icecream or if its even churned lol) but it tasted soooooo delicious and just real with real ingredients. You can definitely taste the love and the joy the owner has radiates from him. You can honestly tell its not just a business he owns but that he truly loves what he does. I cant wait to taste all of the flavors they offer. I got pistachio and biscoff. With my first taste a little piece of me went to heaven. 10/5 stars. I highly recommend. πŸ₯°

Delicious! My mom and I stopped here during her visit. It was unbelievably amazing and neither of us wanted to reach the end of our cups. I had the tiramisu and salted caramel while Mom opted for hazelnut and pistachio. The salted caramel was by far my favorite of the four we picked. I cant wait to go back! (pictured is the salted caramel/tiramisu combo)

Probably the best Sorbets I ate in a very long time. The flavors are amazingly spot on, we tried the peach and passion sorbets and they were exceptional! The owners are a very nice and friendly couple that makes everything from scratch using fresh ingredients and no chemicals or additives.Definitely a neighborhood gem!

My husband and kids loved the gelato and the Rossini Proseco with lemon sorbet I had was refreshing with a fun twist. The atmosphere inside was inviting and the patio in the back was so cute. Id give it more stars if I could.

I was craving a dessert and found this place 40 minutes before closing. It is sooo delicious and the owners are extremely sweet. They were sweet enough to give us time to think and assured us that they had plenty of gelato for us. We got an affogato with a very creamy espresso. It was delicious. We also got coffee and peanut butter gelato and each scoop has been extremely smooth. Its very silky. Lastly this place is organic and locally owned and operated. Please show them your love.

Best gelato place in the region, the flavors are absolutely delicious, I have tried pistachio, hazelnut, and rice, on waffle cones. WOW. When you taste it, it feels like a piece of heaven has been given to you. It’s that good. And the owners are very kind! They’ve earned a loyal customer with me!

I’m not huge on ice cream or gelato but when the wife asks you go (happy wife happy life?) we came here when some of our friends kept talking about how amazing this place was, it was beyond that! I couldn’t believe how delicious the gelato was here!!!! Word on the street is that they make it fresh everyday, you can definitely taste that! We had the pistachio, hazelnut, tiramisu flavors and they were absolutely amazing! Can not wait to come here again so they can take my money! 😁

Review β„–13

My boyfriend and I recently moved to the area and discovered this absolute gem of a shop! It is by far (and I mean farrrrr) the BEST gelato we have ever had in the world. We have tried many of the flavors, as we come here about twice a week, and they are all equally delectable. The salted caramel, however, is truly a shining star in our eyes and definitely a must-try!The atmosphere is very authentic and feels like a little slice of Italy! Fareed, the owner; is always a pleasure to see and has definitely made some long time customers out of us :)-The salted caramel girl

Review β„–18

The gelato is delicious and they have several choices of flavors. The space looks clean and the owners are friendly. The problem I noticed is that the menu is a bit confusing; for example it says you can get 1-3 flavors on a waffle cone for $7.50, but when you go to pay they charge you $8.50 for two flavors on a cone. I think that they should be more clear about prices on their menu. Also the scoops are pretty small, 2 of their medium sized scoops are the size of around one regular scoop of ice cream. Other than that it is really yummy organic hand made gelato. Just keep in mind its pretty pricey but if you want to treat your self its definitely worth going, I recommend trying the chocolate hazelnut.

Review β„–34

Small craft gelato cafe in the cute part of old Burien. The quality gelato comes in several interesting and a few standard flavors. Well displayed in a stylish cooling case. Espresso is offered and smelled lovely but I didnt try it so cannot comment further. I had half ginger peach and half pistachio gelato. This I can and do recommend.Limited indoor seating. On a nice day you will want to take advantage of their back patio or enjoy a walk up the boulevard of shops. Street parking is generally available without much hassel.

If you’re looking for scratch made, authentic Italian gelato, this is the place! Here you will find elevated classic AND unique flavors that will tickle your tastebuds (best chocolate gelato I’ve ever had in my life, and I’ve eaten a LOT of gelato). A must visit if you’re in the area. Or even if you’re not in the area. You should go out of your way - it’s worth the trip!

Super delicious gelato and sorbet. The passion fruit sorbet is way too strong, but the strawberry sorbet is delightful. Oreo is amazingly creamy, as is the chocolate. Mint chocolate chip tastes like real mint and did not disappoint.

Very delicious gelato and some really brilliant sorbet, both people ive interacted with seem happy to be there and are really enthused about their product which is awesome. Ive gone several times and will be going back many times in the future. Pro tip: get the Affogato, it will blow your mind.

Review β„–54

The gelato was smooth and yet only mildly sweet. The flavors chosen today were rose and Sicilian pistachio which complemented one another quite well. Mediterranean Zone held nothing back from the pistachio including shaved pistachios and abundant natural flavor. The shoppe itself was small but amply seated with options inside and on the back patio. The gentleman working was engaging and carried on a pleasant conversation with us after ordering. All in all a good experience and such a treat to have in this community.

A small ice-cream bar that is not really noticeable on first sight but worth the visit. Youre able to buy coffee together with all sorts of flavored ice-cream (or separate). I had the combined Mocca ice-cream/black coffee which tasted very good. A good place to sit and relax after a long day. Friendly staff as well.

AMAZING Gelato! In addition, the atmosphere is pretty cool, and the couple that own it are 2 of the nicest human beings you could ever meet. The coffee is pretty good, too, and they do a great Affogato thats the best of both worlds. They have nice outdoor seating area, too thats very private.

The most beautiful owners, Jen and Fareed, love sharing their passion for great food and travel. Theyve done an excellent job of studying with the masters in Bologna, Italy two years in a row, and it shows! They make plenty of standard Gelato flavors, and a number of wonderfully creative new ones. Their menu rotates frequently. For the best information on current flavors, follow their Facebook page!

Gorgeous, rich delicious hand-made gelati in a tempting range of flavors, right in the middle of the cute district of Burien anchored by the Tin Theater and pub. When the weather is good, you can enjoy your gelato out on the bijou back porch. Extra points for a super-clean bathroom.
