Ironically I haven't tried their gelato yet but I can easily say that they have some of the best cardamom buns I've ever had in my life. I believe Arcobaleno was formerly known as Dovetail Bakery in Sunnyside & the cardamom buns were popular back then & hopefully now as well. I asked the employee (I forgot her name but she's the adorable girl with glasses for a lack of better terms) how many they make in a day & apparently it's only five. I was surprised because these buns are truly incredible (way better than Fabrique Bakery which specializes in buns) but I understand as it's a gelato place. I have also tried the passionfruit macadamia bar & sourdough bread from here which are both great, but nothing beats those divine buns IMHO. If you happen to be in Sunnyside, 110% try one as you won't regret it! read more

Arcobaleno Gelateria - The cardamom buns front & center are amazing - Gelato Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

Came here after dinner for a sweet treat. Place is so cute but cozy. We were greeted right away. They have gelatos and small selection of pastries. I got a macchiato and my friend a vanilla cappuccino which were both made to order and delicious to say the least. We also got an order of these small biscotti type cookies 4 for $1!! in this economy such a deal! Would definitely want to come back and try some of their savory sandwiches. read more

This was a perfect after dinner dessert. They let us sample as many flavors as we wanted before committing. I had the flavor similar to a cannoli and it was delicious! There are several cup sizes. I will be back to try the other flavors. The girl serving us was very friendly and explained the different flavors. There was plenty of room to sit inside and enjoy and a bathroom to use. read more

Loved it here! I was in the neighborhood and saw this place had opened up. I love gelato, so I had to stop in! This shop is quaint and very cozy. They have plenty of seating in the front and in the back of their location. I tried the cappuccino gelato and I'm so glad I did. It was delicious! I recommend stopping in if you love gelato too! read more

Awesome spot! Delicious gelato! We stopped by and decided to have a coffee and shared lemon tart and scoop of gelato. Service is friendly. Ambiance is simple but welcoming. Gelato was so good that we ordered to go! Will be back for more! read more

Arcobaleno Gelateria - Gelato Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

Obsessed with the winter transition of the bakery. Walton (or Walter?) is so kind and had lovely recommendations. The sandwiches and cappuccino we had were stellar. Such a great addition to an already amazing shop read more

Cute small gelateria with limited seatings. There are a handful of flavors to choose from but they are all tasty. You can sample a few selection of your choice before getting what you want. What caught my eye was the pistachio nutella, what can go wrong!? There is a good strong pistachio taste, unlike other places that gives that fake mint green color that doesn't even taste like pistachio. The combination of these two can not go wrong at all! I've tasted the ricotta and figs which is pretty interesting, but I wasn't sure if i can eat a small cup of that. read more

Arcobaleno Gelateria - Pistachio Nutella - Gelato Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

Arcobaleno is located next door to Italian eatery Sotto Le Stelle (same owners). They are also the same owners as sister restaurant Soleluna. Arcobaleno, which means "rainbow", ranks as one of the best gelatos I've ever had. They offer a wide variety of gelatos and sherbets. It's obvious with your first spoonful that only fresh ingredients are used. Your mouth will do the happy dance! 1 scoop is $3.50 2 scoops is $6.50 3 scoops is $9 They have cups, sugar and waffle cones, and waffle cones shaped as cups (never seen these before!). You can sample up to 3 flavors and I encourage you to try 3 flavors! However, it will be hard to pick just one to purchase since they're ALL delicious. I opted for one scoop of pistachio gelato in a waffle cup, and I loved every bite; of course, wishing I had ordered two scoops! Haha This gelateria is super clean and bright. There is a unisex restroom, and plenty of seating in front, back and even an outdoor garden area (shared with Sotto Le Stelle next door). Friendly, welcoming service. Complimentary water dispensers are also provided. What a great addition to the neighborhood! Next time I'm in Sunnyside, I'll be sure to stop by for more gelato...and my 3 samples! Haha read more

Sunnyside has been lacking in the ice cream cream department for a while. Arcobaleno is one of the very few gelato spots in Sunnyside. My younger brother and I came in on opening day and they were packed! However, the service was still great! Everyone was so nice, they let us sample the various flavors and didn't rush us. The gelato was smooth and it wasn't overly sweet. I ended up getting the hazelnut and it was great! Will definitely stop by to try some of the other flavors. read more

This is one of the most underrated gelaterias in our neighborhood. This is a local Italian family owned business. This is one of their latest openings. All of their restaurants are phenomenal. The service is unbeatable. There isn't too much seating inside but it's easy to grab a dessert to go and just walk around. Would try to come earlier in the evenings since all gelato is made fresh daily and they often run out of their popular flavors. Definitely try the pistachio! read more

I had to check out this gelato place as there aren't any in the surrounding area. I'm glad that it came out during the summer. There's indoor seating so no need to fret if you want to relax and enjoy it. Also, they open from 2 -10pm which are great hours. So, you can get it right after lunch or dinner. I really wanted to try this place and I was doing a mini dessert tour so I was hopping from here to the next destination. The prices are standard for the sunnyside vicinity. They allow you to sample at least 2 samples and I think it is fair to say you order something. It does melt fairly quickly so I suggest eating it fast. read more

Adorable gelato spot in Sunnyside. We stopped here after lunch with some friends and enjoyed some delicious gelato. We sampled some flavors before deciding on what we wanted to order. They were very patient and let us take our time to choose. It was a chilly day so we were happy to be able to use some of their indoor seating to enjoy and relax for a little bit. If you are in the area this is a great stop for a treat. read more

Good prices. $3.50 for single scoop, $6.50 for 2 scoops, $9 for 3 scoops. Passionfruit was tangy and good. We liked mixed berry too. Mango had mild flavor, had better from other places. The 3 we got were not too sweet which we liked. They had a few other flavors which were new to us so a couple of us asked to taste a flavor each. When I asked for a taste, the lady didn't seem to want to give me. She instead described it so I asked nicely again. It ended up that I didn't like that flavor. Seating in the front of store and the back. read more

Bad service. Very unfriendly The person at counter on weekend was rude. Didnt even say thanks for the tips. She sidnt even serve anything but i gave her tip. read more

This was a cute little one stop gelato shop. Gelato was solid and I thought it was cool that they had edible cups as an option! $10 minimum on credit card as of this writing. Nothing super spectacular about this shop but there doesn't need to be. Cute calm vibes, space in the back for seating, one stall restroom, and good gelato! Worth a visit in the neighborhood when that gelato crave is real! read more

I came here with my friend after having dinner next door. The place is adjacent to Sotto Le Stelle, the Italian restaurant. This place is operated and managed by the same people. It feels like you step foot into an Italian cafe in Italy. The Gelato maker is an experienced lady who's been doing this for years. She spoke Italian with me; I'm so flattered because she made my visit that important. I showed the peach flavor, and she said something to indicate that she could make me the best peach smoothie. So I ordered it. My smoothie was fantastic! I'm glad I agreed to this. The flavor was a real peach fruit flavor. It was like eating the fruit itself, so I enjoyed it. I drank my smoothie slowly. My friend had a fruit drink from Italy, but she said that it was too sweet and wished she had ordered a smoothie. The place offers a few tables in the front and back. The back door opens to the garden dining area for the restaurant next door, Sotto Le Stelle. I don't know whether people can go in and out through the back door, but once you pay your bill at the restaurant, you may be allowed to enter this ice cream cafe through the garden back door. I enjoyed my smoothie. Grazie! read more

Great place for truly homemade, quality gelato and sorbet. Good rotation of both types of desserts, alongside signature desserts sold in the attached restaurant and at Soleluna. Only giving it four stars, though, for customer service. The one gentleman there is great and always so kind (shoutout to you, backwards hat guy!) I've always felt iffy around the women there (no shame, bc I myself am a woman) -- it sometimes feels like I or my partner are being judged for our selections, or for wanting to try something and leaving if we dislike it. It wouldn't hurt to be a little kinder / have a better poker face, please! read more

This place was awesome, very friendly staff and the gelatos all tasted great. Highly recommend the dark chocolate and the tiramisu. Bonus points for the portions- got a two scoop order and it was like 4 normal scoops. read more

Unbelievably kind staff, and good gelato. The pistachio tasted of pistachio (not always the case haha), and the banana was solid (albeit a bit laffy taffy like rather than fresh banana). The texture of both were GREAT! I'd come back and try other flavors read more

BEST GELATO EVER! I've had gelato in Italy and this beats it. Absolutely out of this world. You can taste that it's made with high quality ingredients by people who care. read more

Very friendly service. The lady let us try like 5 flavors. The gelato itself was really solid! The back of the store had additional seating with a chill vibe. Definitely will come back. read more

It was a super hot and humid day and my friends and I wanted something cold. They mentioned this store so we agreed to give it a try and travelled all the way here from Dumbo. When we stepped into the store, the employee was really nice and offered to give us some samples since we were debating between which flavors to get. We tried the Melon and Lemon and both were really good, so we eventually all got those same flavors. We walked to the back of the store and sat outside to enjoy our gelatos. The ambiance was great and the environment was fresh and clean. I enjoyed the Lemon flavor a lot and it was soo refreshing!! I will definitely bring my family here next time to try this and many more flavors! read more

Tasty gelato and kind staff. They rotate the flavors so always something new to try. The decor and seating is very nice as well! I really enjoy coming here. read more

Excellent gelato. I've only tried the more citrus/sour flavors and they didn't have that artificial, overly sweet taste a lot of bootleg gelato places have. Also nice selection of Italian chips and biscuits. Real coffee too. Very clean and the person serving the gelato was nice. read more

I would give this place 4 stars because their ice cream is delicious but their Customer Service sucks! The ladies in the front are rude and told us we could only try two flavors. They do not have a sign up stating that, maybe i would not be writing this but her service messed up the entire ice cream experience. She has a tat. On her hand and i did not get her name. read more

I'm glad that this place opened up in Sunnyside. The gelatos were great and they were generous with samples too! Chill atmosphere and plenty of seating in the back! Highly recommend. read more
