It wasn't too busy during our visit, with a few people enjoying their ice cream on the patio. They have quite a few flavors to choose from, including some interesting ones like Honey Candied Kumquat. We asked a few questions and sampled some flavors before deciding, although I have to say the service was pretty mediocre--the staff didn't seem too enthusiastic or helpful. We ended up keeping it classic with the strawberry. I could definitely tell they use fresh, quality ingredients, but personally the flavor and texture just didn't stand out much to my taste buds. Overall, cute shop with some creative flavors and fresh ingredients, but my first experience was just okay. Maybe I'll have better luck with a different flavor next time!

I recommend sharing a triple scoop because that's cheaper than buying 2 singles. I think gelato at this price is unheard of in the bay area, let alone in Blackhawk/Danville of all places. I guess the rent isn't too bad because the place is small, but it is nice and the service is really good too! Definitely will be back! I'm actually no longer as surprised at the stellar ratings. I mean 4.9 star average is still insane, but I'd expect nothing less than 4.5-4.7 to be honest. I like the pistachio, biscoff, cookies and cream, stracciatella, vanilla, and dubai chocolate flavors.

The deep-fried squid (basically calamari) is just as good -- light, crispy, and not overly greasy. It's the kind of snack you order "to share" and then end up guarding. And you can't leave without trying their soft serve. The fish-shaped cone is fun on its own, but the unique soft serve flavors make it special. It's creative, delicious, and something you can't find anywhere nearby. It's heartbreaking that they're closing sometime March. Places that put this much care into both flavor and creativity deserve better. If you've ever thought about trying it, now is the time. Local gems like this don't come around often -- and they shouldn't disappear quietly.

Stopping in this weekend, Uji Time Dessert was not quite what I expected…read more I went in thinking they sold ice cream but I'd term their soft serve solidly frozen yogurt, with the ice cream they sell being Moochi. The soft serve had an intensely creamy flavor with a high milk content and while the honey enjoyed his Thai milk tea boba, the style of my mango cup was not for me (although the fish cone option is very cute). We ordered from a tablet at the front and the service was prompt and friendly. I'd love to see them add in some outside seating as beyond the Starbucks, there's no seating in this shopping center. All in all, we may come back to order food but sadly it just wasn't a good match for the type of ice cream I enjoy.

Batter 'N Icing is a cupcake lover's paradise! I picked up a batch of cupcakes for a BBQ, and they were the star of the show. Each cupcake was a little piece of perfection--fluffy, moist, and topped with frosting that was just the right side of sweet. The shop itself is quaint and inviting, with a display that's a feast for the eyes. The service was fantastic; the staff were as sweet as the treats they sell, making the whole experience delightful. If you're in the market for some show-stopping desserts that will have your friends talking long after the party's over, Batter 'N Icing is your go-to spot.

First, the cupcakes are nothing short of amazing, moist & delicious! Second, they were very generous with their donation and helped our program raise money in the silent auction!

For ex. a grandma came in with her grandson. I smiled and waved at him on the way in.

Next time I'll ask for extra hot water. Sat outside during the light rain by myself, so pleasant. Got baked goods and I shouldn't have assumed they didn't have proper pasty boxes for it all, they do. You just have to ask that all your baked goods don't go in one box. The amicable server last time, took my order this time as well. She strives to make everyone feel comfortable and the morning rush shows this. Got 4 cupcakes and she suggested the mango, omA so freaking good! Not too sweet or greasy which is a common problem with dedicated gluten free goods. I only ordered 4 cookies this time and both the scones. I should have gotten a whole box of those lemon blueberry scones, divine! Came home and my daughter said you didn't get a brownie, oh gosh, sorry, next time! This is by far the best dedicated gluten-free restaurant in all of the Bay Area.

So my only negative comment is that communications is not great, but persevere because the cake will be worth it! On the day of the wedding, seeing that beautiful cake on the table, it was just what we had imagined.
