OMG!!
this place is SOOO GOOD. sure its located in a dark neighborhood at night but its corner is safe and brightly lit with a warm and fuzzy summer feeling at night, blossoming with all kinds of ppl eating ice cream.
this place seriously has very many ice cream flavors, and not only r there many to choose from, theyre actually very good! the texture and the flavors are just AMAAZING. its usually packed in here but the servers make sure they get to everyone and are VERY friendly when u ask to sample (not like most places who are grumpy and arrogant when u want to sample) the only mean thing is the owner who is usually the cashier. he's pretty grumpy. one time i was in there and it was so busy and i waited so long, he left the register to come help me. he got my order wrong so instead of getting banana walnut ice cream, i got something w/ raisins in it (pee ew!) his son assisted my cousin and also got his order wrong (he asked for cappuccino and got something with crunch in it). its a super fun touristy shop, as they have not only DURIAN but DURIAN JACKFRUIT and all the flavors my aunt and mom LOVE. their guava & guava strawberry are also AMAZING.
uggh! im SO JEALOUS! PLEASE COME TO AMERICA! (heart)

Mmm, gelato! We made a trek out to La Casa Gelato because we had heard so much about its unique flavors. Curry, wasabi, balsamic, garlic...were we brave enough to try the odd ones? Nope, lol. We just wanted sweet flavors not the savory ones. There were just too many sweet ones that I just couldn't get myself to try the strange ones.
Sis and I tried about a dozen flavors before making up our minds. Mangosteen, Ferrero Rocher, pistachio, raspberry cheesecake, passionfruit guava sorbet, lemon sorbet, mint chocolate, frangelico, cookie dough, chocolate...we ended up choosing frangelico (hazelnut), passionfruit guava sorbet, raspberry cheesecake, and pistachio.
Tasting the different flavors was part of the experience. To purchase, you have to pre-pay and get a token. Very pricey (I think two flavors was about $7 each). But we were craving gelato and just had to try this place. Would we go back? Sure, we are always up for gelato...but while walking around Vancouver, we passed by a lot of gelato shops that I'm sure we would have liked as well. Overall, we were glad to have tried it at least once. It's too bad neither of us were in the mood to try the crazy flavors. We'll have to take your word for it!
Does anyone else do this with their friends? Pick a flavour for a friend to try and always pick the nastiest one you can find?
The crazy thing about La Casa Gelato is that even though some of the flavours may sound kinda disgusting, they actually taste decent. I'm not saying I'm gonna get a full scoop of balsamic vinegar-flavoured ice cream on a hot day, but the "Gelartists" (see what i did there?) always find a way to amaze me.
218 flavours... cup or cone... Nothing is terrible, but some like balsamic vinegar are just plain weird.
My favourite part about going to La Casa Gelato is that the parking lot on the other side of the street is always amusing to watch. If you've been, you know exactly what I'm referring to.
I've been talking about visiting this place forever and finally broke down and did it. I'm surprised ... super surprised by all the positive reviews. It definitely has over 200 flavours but with quantity I feel they've sacrificed quality. I'd rather have 10 flavours done really well!
During peak hours/weather, this place is packed! Whether you're in the mood for taro root or chai tea, you'll like find a flavour to tempt your tastebuds. For me, the gelato lacked richness ... it seemed like frozen milk with a splash of whatever flavour.
It's also pricey for the amount you get - nearly $5 for a single scoop of weak gelato? No thank you. The cone I had was also stale and not crisp. It was literally *chewy* in parts. Yuck.
I'll save my gelato budget for other places around town that do it more to my liking.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!!!!
The BF and I were already melting, so we slipped into this pink palace for something to keep us cool. This place has 218 flavours from savoury to sweet and everything inbetween. I was actually pretty tempted to try the balsamic ice cream, since I love the tartness of the vinegar, but my sweet tooth guided me over to the chocolate Bailey's ice cream. Hell yes to ice cream flavoured with booze! I also had the black forest chocolate (cuz I needed a cherry on top of my waffle cone.)
Obviously when its hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk you should be prepared for this place to be crammed full of sweaty beasts. However, I have to admit, most of the people mingling inside were so distraught on which flavour to pick, that I had no problem getting my double scoop waffle cone in no time! It was a little pricey $6.50 for two rather small scoops that melted faster than I could get them in my mouth, but the ice cream was not so rich (or cold apparently) that I had to eat it slowly for fear of the mouth pucker or the brain freeze. My question is, has anybody tried the wasabi ice cream here?? Or any other strange flavours? I was tempted to try out the chai tea, cuz I bet that would be pretty nice, but I played it too safe.... next time Gadget, there's always next time....
For some reason I felt like I had La Casa Gelato hyped up in my head and I was left disappointed after this visit. With 218 flavours to choose from, it didn't live up to the past memories I had of enjoying Gelato here. I agree with Allen W. that the Gelato lacked richness and is a little overpriced! The main draw of this place is the large amount of crazy flavours and the hype far outweighs the quality.
This place was packed on a Saturday night at 10:00. It's great that you can sample whatever flavor you want before you buy it. Most are pretty good. I went in hoping to find passion fruit, which I did, along with some mixes like raspberry passion fruit and passion fruit, orange, guava which I enjoyed the best. The pineapple orange sorbetto tasted like it was freezer burned. A few other flavors I tried were average, nothing special. My second favorite choice this evening was chocolate coconut. I will say that the gelato here is expensive for what you get: one or two little scoops, smaller than any ice cream place I've been to.
Load up on samples before you go in for the big (or should I say little) scoop.
This place is such an institution!
We were driving by tonight with friends who are new to the city, and they were surprised there were so many people outside. We laughed and told them they'd seen nothing... and of course stopped to share this place with them.
Not only was it crowded outside on the sidewalk, the patio area across the street was full and it was completely packed inside - and on a Tuesday night at nearly 9pm no less!
Despite the people, they have a good system - it only took a couple minutes to pay and get our tokens, and then the fun begins. How the heck DO you choose when faced with 218 current flavours?
I love that you can get tastes of things, and all the obscure stuff they have, even if some of it is really just for novelty. The price is fine by me and the gelato is good, especially in a waffle cone on a hot summer night.
218 Mother Funkin flavors of gelato? Somebody pinch me, I must be having a wet dream.
Armed with my partner in crime (lactaid), I anxiously made my way to La Casa Gelato for a Sunday afternoon treat. The expansive selection of flavors can be intimidating. I found the Asian section and gasped in joy when I found the purple yam flavor. Also known as Ube, purple yam is my favorite flavor. I opted for a scoop of purple yam and lychee on a cone.
Absolute perfection. I will be back next time I'm in Vancouver.
This is another business establishment that I simply don't get. Granted, it offers lots of flavours to choose from (218 as its tag name suggests) and it looks like an amusement park ice cream parlour inside, the quality was just aweful. The texture was grainy, light and nowhere near or like what gelato should be. Some of the flavours just beg the question "why"? Garlic? We are not at the Garlic Festival in Gilroy! It makes me think they are developing flavours simply for novelty purposes.
They charge $4.5 for a single scoop in stale waffle cones. I can 2 scoops of the real thing for less than $4 at Mondo Gelato on Robson Street (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...).
La Casa Gelato has virtually become a Vancouver landmark. With a rotating selection of 508+ flavours, and 218 on-site at any given time, it's easy to understand why.
La Casa prides itself in creating new and unique flavours, and some of the more unusual varieties on today's visit included: lavender, chocolate chili, wasabi, jasmine, curry, garlic, vegemite, wild fennel, and pear, gorgonzola & blue cheese. They also offer middle eastern flavours (nut kulfi, akbar mashty, and saffron), and a large section of asian flavours (including red bean, corn, black sesame, purple yam, and durian). And for those with dairy sensitivities, there's a diverse selection of sorbettos as well.
This evening, I opted for the Akbar Mashty (saffron, rosewater and pistachio) and Banana Caramel gelato. My friend, Terry, opted for the Nut Kulfi and Cinnamon Coffee gelato. Pure heaven!
La Casa scores extra points for their late hours: open from 11am to 11pm daily.
This family-owned gelateria is a must-see for any tourist to the city, and something every Vancouverite must experience for themselves. This place is a true gem, and hands down the BEST place in Vancouver to enjoy a proper gelato :)

With over 218 flavors at anytime, there is a flavour for even the pickiest ice cream connoisseur.
After sampling over 6 different flavours, I picked the pandan flavor because it was super tasty. Pandan is a leaf that is used often in Asian cooking and baking, imagine coconut that is toasted - that's the pandan flavour. The extra happy bright green color is also a bonus.
There are some flavors that make me cringe before even tasting it but hey, it's more than an ice cream shop - it is an experience!
Would be great to have a mini-cup option.
When people visit me from out of town I take them here. What I really love most is the awe factor.
It's not always consistent from batch to batch so make sure you taste it before you buy it, it may not be what you remember it to be. But it's always got something that you'll love, how can they not? They now have a whopping 218 flavors.
Some of my favorites(so far):
*Campari Grapefruit
*1 scoop chocolate chili and 1 scoop chocolate ginger(amazing combo)
*Black Sesame
*Avocado
*Plum, Jasmine & Green Tea
A few friendly guidelines to ensure friendly service:
-No cameras.
-Don't be a free taster hog.
-Don't stand right up against the glass, people can't see through you and it messes with the flow. It's a smokin' busy place at times.
-Pay at the counter before you taste test, the scoopers don't take cash, only tokens.
Some long time staff members (family?) can be less than friendly at times. Try and be nice to them, they've dealt with indecisive kids(Big and small) all day long.
218 flavours to choose from! Everything you can think of they have. I ended up getting the Ferreror Rocher which was yum - tasted exactly like the chocolate. Also tried the coconut chocolate chip which was an interesting combination, but it was really good.
I tried the mint oreo, and hazelnut fudge. The spicy mango was surprisingly good! Too spicy for me to eat a whole cone, but just a taste was a good amount.
Definitely will be back to check out more flavours.
This review may be biased b/c I'm more into froyo than gelato or ice cream b/c I'm lactose intolerant.
The service was very good - they let me taste many different flavors as I was obviously a first timer.
I liked the interesting flavors, but couldn't really eat a whole scoop of most of the weird ones. I ended up getting the passionfruit in a freshly made waffle cone since it was the same price as getting it in a cup.
I wish they would allow multiple flavors if you get a cup (as they do in Italy and the gelato places in Texas) - not sure if other gelato places in Vancouver allow this.
I love this place in all its quirkiness. It is situated next to a railroad track and a lot of commercial warehouses, including ferrari! In the peak of summer I grab blackberries from behind the fences. The place has chinese writing on one side of the awn. The questionable flavors like garlic? The italian techno music? Only La Casa Gelato could have all of the aforementioned qualities and still be successful.
Not the best gelato in town but definitely the most memorable. I go for the balsamic gelato every time.
218 flavors of gelato under one roof?! You heard right, tons of house-made flavors to choose from.
You can even request a flavor be made specifically for you, don't make this request lightly, or you'll be stuck with a tub or two of it.
Walk around the entire store and sample no less than ten flavors before deciding on one, they're used to it, everyone does it.
The owner is usually running the cash register. For a man surrounded by gelato ranging the colors of the rainbow all day, he seems pretty unhappy, he never cracks a smile.
I've purchased the: hazelnut fudge, raspberry champagne, granny smith apple, tiger butter, rum egg nog and caramel candied apple* flavors.
*The only time I was unhappy with my purchase was when I had the caramel candied apple gelato. The tiny sample was good, but a cone of it was overly sweet. Also, the waffle cone in that instance tasted stale. It only tasted stale once, but I don't see why it doesn't happen more often, their stacks of waffle cones are part of their decor.
Last tip, wow this is getting long, purchase a three scoop cone at the register. It'll buy you three tokens. You can exchange these tokens at the gelato cases for your desired flavors. Those three tokens will get you three waffle cones and three huge scoops, saves a few bucks if you are in a group. *whew* I'm done, don't say I never did anything for ya.
It's definitely worth a visit.
What can I say, endless flavour choices from wall to wall to wall. It usually takes me a good 20 min to choose a flavour as there are just so many. Always a hot spot during the summer.
I like the decor as the walls are covered in waffle cones and signs in all languages. If you're adventurous, there are plenty of oddball flavours.

This place is a party! I've been in Vancouver pretty much my entire life and i FINALLY went there for the first time tonight (if you can believe that - I can barely believe it myself). They've got music pumping, people everywhere. If it's busy, prepare to wait. Be patient. Enjoy the whole scene of La Casa Gelato! Oh, and the gelato is FANTASTIC! I didn't do the testers (sampling is for the weak!), as i like to dive head first into things. Plus, this gives me reason to go back 215 more times! (i had a double scoop and i tasted my BF's)
Ever wonder how wasabi gelato might taste like? Or even a savory flavor? Food adventurers in particular may want to make this journey!
This place has over 200 flavors of gelato! Not good if you're indecisive. Your best bet is to look for something you think you'd like, ask for a taste and just go with it. The employees are nice enough to let you try different flavors, but I wouldn't push your luck with them or other customers by trying out half the selection...
I usually like my traditional flavors more, and I don't really remember what the weird stuff tasted like either... so... all I can recommend is to try whatever tickles your fancy.
Only gripe about this place is that there are no place to eat your gelato! No tables nor chairs, even outside it's not exactly a nice location, so after you buy your treat, you're like... where should I eat this? Minor setback, but this place is still def one to check out in Vancouver!
If you are an indecisive person, this is not the place for you. You want choices? You got um! There are so many flavors that you could go every day and have a different one every day.
Some of the flavors: Balsamic, Dragonfruit, Durian, Tiger Tail, and a lot of other unusual choices. After trying about 10 different flavors, I went with their spumoni which tasted like our homemade egg nog with candied fruits. Actually a lot better than it sounds. (side note: I don't like fruit cake either)
When I went to visit my Canadian friend in Vancouver a couple months ago, I made one request and that was to go to La Casa Gelato. My brother told me about this place and how it serves 218 ice cream flavors.
We spent about an hour in the ice cream shop trying their unique flavors such as Balsamic Vinegar, Apple Cheddar, Curry and Pear Gorgonzola Bleu Cheese. Yes, those were all ice cream flavors I just listed out. We even tried this interesting flavor called Akbar Mashty which is a saffron and raisin ice cream. I am curious to know who would actually pay money for the Akbar Mashty.
Being the indecisive person that I am, I was actually very satisfied with the flavor I chose. Apple Pie. YUM! Little tiny apple chunks and a graham cracker crust mixed into a creamy apple ice cream. My friend T got Lychee and K got Black Sesame. Both we equally as good.
Can't wait until my next trip to Vancouver so I can try more!
Awesome flavours, crazy flavours and some flavours so disgusting you'll wonder what the maker was smoking when he came up with the recipe (Morel mushroom gelato? I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth for days. Yeah. I tried it. I just had to know)
Sample the vast selection to your heart's content and, when you're ready, ante up at the cash register for some poker chips colour coded by order (single or double scoop, plain or fancy cone, etc) and make your selection.
If you're lucky, the crazy Italian music will be blaring above the din of customers jockeying for position at the wall to wall counters, hands outstretched for yet another tiny sampling spoon. That's the La Casa ambience.
You'll be back again and again. I promise.
Gotta update a star because today they had Chocolate Sorbet!! This is really my G.F/D.F dream come true. It was rich and "creamy" too.
While my friends took 25 minutes to chose a flavour -I kid you not, the place filled up with gelato zombies. It may be 30 degrees outside, but inside Casa it's b-r-r-r-fect!
Hot days = more turnaround in flavours.
Like the Disneyland of Gelato, Casa continues to attract people from all over the map. The biggest… Read more »
There are hundreds of flavours of gelato here and a lot of the flavours are really....out there...
Wasabi? check. Garlic? check. Gorgonzola? I can't remember but probably check.
You pay for the amount you want up front and then go crazy tasting all the gelatos (be careful if you taste too many then you'll be too full to eat your real order).
They carry a ridiculous amount of creative/delicious flavours, so make the drive out here for some dessert!

Canadian Officer: What is the purpose of your trip?
me: Pineapple poppy seed gelato.
Canadian Officer: *frowning* You're going all the way from Seattle to Vancouver for gelato?
me: Yes, sir!
Canadian Officer: Is it really that good?
me: *closed eyes, dreamy facial expression* Yessssssssss!
I do not care that technically you can find better quality gelato in Vancouver - they do not carry pineapple poppy seed gelato.
I do not care that you can find cheaper gelato in Vancouver - they do not carry pineapple poppy seed gelato.
I do not care that the staff tends to be always grouchy and that the owner is smiley only on the photographs. He NEVER smiles in real life. NEVER. I do not care. I come here for pineapple poppy seed gelato.
I do not even care for the humongous gelato selection. As long as they carry pineapple poppy seed gelato, I'll be coming here all the way from Seattle.
I come hear each time I visit my in-laws. The service is great when there isn't too much people, but once there's lots of customers it gets hard to get the employees attention. I love the fact that there's so many flavors to pick from; from everyday ice cream to strange ones like apple chedder! Check this place out...it is DELISH. This is one of my "happy" places in Vancouver. yum yum yum, if I can only bring it back to California with me!!!!
AND THE ICE CREAM IS ALWAYS FRESH...i wanted mango the other day but they didn't have it because the owner only wants the fresh and best items in his ice cream...he was still waiting for mangos from another country.
So far I've had coffee crisp, mango, taro, corn, coffee, tiramisu, and maple walnut...all good.
For the indecisive mind, this place could be troublesome.
I come here in the summer, usually after dinners on Commercial or Main.
Some of their wacky flavours shock me. Garlic? I don't know about that, sweet, or garlicky? Do I want to have garlic breath after my dessert? Rice? Not sure about that either. Tell me how it is.
You buy a ticket at the front, and then you hand those ice cream scoopers your ticket, and you're off with your favourite flavour(s)! $4 for a single scoop.
So far I've stuck to the 'safer' flavours. One of my favs has been the coconut-has little bits and pieces of coconut...mmm..their 'chocolatey' flavours are good too. Rich, just the way it should be. When unsure, ask for a sample. I think it usually takes me a good 15 minutes and a half dozen of walk arounds before I can decide. Be patient with me here.
I still prefer Mondo Gelato though.
This is a gelato shop on steroids, offering 218 flavours! As a gelato connesieur it can be overwhelming, just breathe and focus...
I was beyond excited to see peanut butter mixed with numerous complimentors (mmm peanut butter and blueberry), a chocolate selection with will make your head spin, as well as a great selection of sorbettos. Even better the staff here is happy to give you an obscene amount of taster spoons, they didn't even make me feel at all bad when I actually lost count.
They also have some atypical flavors, Curry Gelato anyone? Balsamic vinegar perhaps? Maybe saffrom?
The oddest - garlic... yes... Garlic Gelato. My big sister, who apparently still bullies me, made me try it. At first it was like, okay tastes like normal gelato, and then I was hit with the brick wall which was made of garlic. Being a genius I had put the whole taster spoon in my mouth as well - bad idea. It was terrible! It almost put me off my gelato.
The overall gelato quality is mediocre, but the vast selection easily makes up for this. And being a connesieur, perhaps I am a snob, all gelato is compared to what I had in Italy.
Staff is great, when I was paying I had a funny conversation about said garlic gelato and how some people actually like it.
I left happy yet smelling like garlic. I suggest if you try a random flavor, little bites first, don't jump the gun in the gelato histeria.

My review is truly a reiteration of what has already been said before me.
Jenni O. said it best, This place really is a gelato shop on steroids.
Jonathan G. tasted it best, The black sesame flavor tasted like vanilla.
Reena M. observed it best, The quality really isn't top notch-at all.
Peanut butter blueberry flavor is so thick in texture that it felt like toothpaste. Chocolate Sambuca flavor is reminiscent of Mike Tyson, it will make you KO. The Basil and Chai flavors really pack in the taste too harshly and ineloquently, and if you happen to be like my friend Lawrence who loves white rice, you're in luck because they have that too.
You go here once to check it out, but never end up returning because of the compromise they make in flavor, quality and inconvenient location.
I really love this place :) I like the fact that there are so many getatos to choose from and that I can try a little bit of each one I want.
I had chocolate raspberry truffle and pistacchio, and they were an amazing combination and delicious taste. I love when nut gelato has pieces of nuts, and raspberry truffles had raspberries. The other time I tried guava - thats my favorite one :)
Price is a little high for me, $6 for two gelati, $4 for one flavor... And location is as well not that accessible for me unless I take bus number 22.
But I sure cannot wait to go there the next time and try classics and weird flavors like garlic or fennel :D
Okay I admit. This place was interesting because of the 200+ flavors that they offer but... that's all it ended up being... just interesting. The gelato isn't spectacular but maybe they're not trying to make amazing gelato. They're trying to impress you with all their funky flavors. Worth coming if this is your first time visiting but I don't think I'd come back. My son loved it... but he's 10 months old.
Where else can you find 218 flavors of wonderful gelato endorsed by Martha Stewart and meet Vince, "The Gelato Godfather?" There is only one place, La Casa Gelato!
I stopped by here on a cold Friday night after dinner and was a little overwhelmed by all the size of the place and all the choices. They ranged from green tea to chocolate to blue cheese and gorgonzola. I walked around just to see which flavors tickled my taste buds and got a couple of samples. There were only about 10 people there but only 2 workers, who were handing out samples and whipping up cones and cups. There was also Vince, "The Gelato Godfather" who is the owner, takes the money and watches everything.
There is no limit on samples but I felt that after about 2 to 3, the workers and the "Gelato Godfather" were anxious for me to buy something. I went with Frangelico with Chocolate Shavings which was wonderful.
I highly recommend La Casa Gelato. I can't speak to the wait during the summer but I would try and head in for samples with a notebook at an off-peak hour and record your favorites. I would then head back again and again during the summer to enjoy delicious gelato.
It can be a little bit overwhelming for the senses when you first step into La Casa Gelato. With a quick scan though, you will quickly decide which flavours you are definitely not going to ruin your appetite with. However, if you're only there for the novelty, go nuts and try the balsamic vinegar or garlic. It will more than likely leave a bad taste in your mouth, but at least you can say that you did it. The obliging staff are more than happy to provide you with tiny spoon after tiny spoon of free tastes to wash away that flavour anyway.
I've gone way out of my way to come here quite a few times and have left with a satisfied sweet tooth and very impressed out-of-town visitors. I enjoy seeing Vince, the Italian owner, there all the time and appreciate that they give you waffle cones by default to save the often begrudging 50 cent upgrade that most other gelato places charge.
When I saw the Wasabi flavor gelato, I was floored. Then I saw hundreds of other flavors on top of that, including:
fennel
apple & cheddar
gorgonzola & blue cheese
figs & almonds
plus, Real McCoy was blaring (remember them?) and there was awesome chalk art on the walls...I felt like a little girl, completely overwhelmed,with the sights, sounds and smells of this place. I settled on the coffee & mascarpone gelato, which was deelish.
La Casa has gelato! In fact, odds are you'll find something tasty here, as it has over 200freakin flavors to choose from. I don't get these reviews that spew all the hate. This place was one of the best things about Vancouver for us. We tried all the flavors we possibly could (incl. "red bean") and finally settled on something a little out-of-the-norm, I got Pomegranate sorbet one time, pear and goat cheese gelato another; the BF got white chocolate the first time, double chocolate the next.
I can understand being overwhelmed in a place like this, with all these choices given, but to hate it cuz of that?! Most of the flavors are very tasty, and some of them you just HAVE to try, just cuz.
I'm not a fan.
The Gelato is OK, but there are several other places that are better in town (even relatively close by).
The place is super bright, ugly pink and the service is always grumpy.
Finally ... it's WAY over priced, I'd bet it's the most expensive ice cream in the country.
I live close by and I stopped going years ago, try Mario's for a quality product that is more reasonably priced, or try Dolch Amore on commercial drive, it's got amazing Gelato.
218 flavours - how the heck do you beat that???
My personal fave: Pandan (also named La Dua) - you can't miss it, its like highlight green but sooo damn good.
Note: I've tried the most strange flavours of gelato/icecream here. Rice, Garlic, Balsamic Vinegar, Curry, Chocolate Chilli, Wasabi...yeah...if you want variety, this is the place.
It isn't the most refined. It usually crowded in the summers, its bright, in your face and plays strange touristy, italian banjo music. I bring all my tourist friends as much as I can. The sheer number of flavours is sure to impress anyone...Keep in mind, this isn't high-class refined gelato. Come here for the flavours and that's it.
Samples are encouraged - so try as much as you can. I spotted Guinness Stout Sorbetto today...but I went to my old faithfuls - Durian and Pandan :D
PS: I think they raised their prices..its $4 for a cup now!! WTH!
This place has 508 flavo(u)rs of gelato...NOT EVEN KIDDING!! Though they ONLY carry 218 at a time. Yeah...ONLY.
AND they let you try as many as you like. I had a few hours to kill and my friend suggested I go here and try all the gelato flavo(u)rs! I'm so glad I did. It was an odd, industrial type area. But, it wasn't too bad of a location since there was plenty of street parking.
You had the typical chocolate, raspberry and vanilla flavo(u)rs but they also had some crazy ones. Some of the interesting ones I saw were gorgonzola and pear, basil, hot chili and garlic, to name a few.
So next time you're in the mood for a lychee and hot chili combo or mango with garlic combo of gelato - I suggest you come here. I don't think you can find these flavo(u)rs anywhere else!!
