    Stopped in for a quick treat. We were met with a warm welcome and many fantastic samples. This shop has so much charm and a great vibe. Very fun and the gelato is amazing! You will not be disappointed. Thank you!

    Came here the other day and met Stacy the owner who was wonderful! Opted for the Limoncello and she even zested some lemon on top which was amazing! I have been looking for Coppa Mista gelato for probably 2 decades or more and haven't been able to find it. I pray that she makes some of that. If so, I will buy it by the gallon! SERIOUSLY! This is probably the best gelato I have had in years...such great flavor and texture whereas most gelatos you taste nowadays don't really differ much from ice cream, this was so much better and creamier! And what a beautiful little shop. The decor was cozy and gorgeous! Bravo Stacy! Well done in all regards!

    Check out the new flavors!

    This location has a new owner, and Stacy might be just as sweet, if not sweeter, than the delicious frozen treats she sells! The downtown gelato shop is located right next to Sacred Heart Coffee and The Warnors Center. Bb's offers classic gelato flavors like vanilla bean, spumoni, and limoncello. Vegan folks, rejoice! Because you can also indulge in mango sorbet or a strawberry almond crisp. All made with real fruit! I ordered a few pints and went strawberry, Audra's vanilla bean, and the spumoni. I've never had spumoni, but BB's version is a mixture of vanilla and pistachio ice cream, whipped cream with chunks of cherries and pistachios. This was a surprisingly delicious and normally I don't like nuts in my ice cream, but they had softened which created a nice texture. My family loved of the cream specially the strawberry with fresh cut strawberries swirled throughout. After the strawberry, the vanilla bean was a second favorite with everyone. This creamy and not overly sweet mixture offered an awesome mouthfeel and had me making the faces made in those overly sexual ice cream TV commercials. Aren't comms weird? Anyway... BB's also offers coffee, espresso, and affogato. Affogato is espresso poured over vanilla gelato or ice cream. Don't sleep on their floats and Italian sodas.

    Such a beautiful little gelato shop downtown. Every corner of this shop is a photo op. Service was so friendly and welcoming. I was in Italy for vacation and had a lot of gelato and I would say BBs is identical to what I had out there. I ordered my favorite pistachio gelato and it was delicious and not overly sweet I wanted to mention that they are also dog friendly ! Offering little treats to the pups

    Ambiance is very cute. Service was ok. But dang, that Unicorn Love gelato is like vanilla meets HubbaBubba bubble gum on steroids. Is HubbaBubba even available anymore or am I dating myself? Haha Regardless, it was delicious. Didn't taste all fakely manufactured but like the real deal w/sprinkles inside too. You need to get you some! Give BB a chance to shoot her shot!

    The lemoncello & strawberry sorbet is a must try together! Tastes just like a strawberry lemonade. The owner suggested doing a float with this combo once the weather warms up & I'm really looking forward to it!

    Mary Cruz R.

    The affogato with straggiatella gelato is the best combo. The owner is so sweet! She's very welcoming. Straggiatella is the best forsure. They have a cute set up, there's games available. Perfect place for a date or friend date!

    Mango gelato with chamony & tajin  Trust me

    I love bb's gelateria for so many reasons but you should just try it out for yourself & tell me if I'm wrong!!

    Gelato yummy in my tummy

    This New Yorker in California, I Made it to the only gelato place in Fresno area. Yes it is now owned in January by an Italian descendant establishment gelato location right in the heart of Downtown. They have different flavors of gelato. There is street metered parking located. Stacey the owner and staff was super friendly and welcoming. The store gives out modern comfy vibes. The prices are reasonable and they offer espresso too on the menu. As soon as you take one taste you just want more and more. I recommend you venture to the downtown area and stop by bb BB Gelateria. Check out the photos with this review.

    Very cute gelateria! I love the decor, interior design. The place is small and they have stools to sit on the bar, as well as 2 tables with chairs inside. You're able to get samples of the flavors. I went with the limoncello. Super good. I tried my friend's honey lavender and that one was good! You can taste the lavender. You're able to order a cup or cone and they have planet based flavors too. The staff was nice, answering our questions and giving us samples. You haven't tried them swing by!

    This shop is sooooooo cute!!!! We loved the set up and it was very intimate. Gelato was tasty and service was great! It was a nice treat to get after lunch. Can't wait to try more flavors.

    Small shop near Warners theater downtown. Great concept and great architecture downtown. One thing spoiling the ambiance was a couple of birds sitting right over the door. There is no seating inside, so we were forced to leave the shop with our ice cream and put our hand over the cup to cover it to make sure the birds didn't poop on our ice cream. This can probably be fixed with some more spikes above the door. There were some very interesting flavors, and the ice cream was good. It didn't taste as heavy to me as gelato, but more like regular ice cream. That's a plus in my book, because I like lighter homemade ice cream. Service was good. We were the only ones in the shop. But we got plenty of samples. Hope this little shop survives! I probably won't go out of my way to go downtown just for this, but if you live close by give it a try!

    Horrible part of town, but absolutely delicious gelato! Staff is super friendly, the interior is bright and lively, and I can't say enough about how beautiful the flavors were that I tasted. I went here around 8 PM on Saturday night. There was no one in the shop except for the employee. My friends and I were immediately greeted, and offered some samples. Everything I tasted was wonderful. I especially loved the limoncello gelato. It was light, refreshing, With a tart bite and a slight sweet finish. I can imagine this would be absolutely incredible on a warm summers day. I had the Stracciatella. It had a wonderfully smooth creamy vanilla base with wonderful little chunks of crisp chocolate. It was incredibly delicious, and I highly recommend it if you like chocolate chip ice cream. All in all, this is a great little shop. I wish it was in a better part of town, but the product is incredible.

This is a cute little store front that is really a place to just grab what you want and go. But they always have it super clean and organized. I got two types of gelato: cookies and cream and matcha. The cookies and cream was rich yet super well balanced. Good cookie to cream ratio. The match was incredible. The base for their ice cream was super rich and they obviously put a lot of matcha in it to get that strong of a flavor. I was super happy and devoured it. All in all, if your haven't been here, please try it, it's worth it.

This year, with the mass black-out, Raphio Chocolate has made it easy for me to skip the big box and chain stores and really get some nice treats to share with the people I love, and the people who deserve gratitude. Decadent gourmet chocolate bars including a sugar free option (and yes--they have the Dubai Chocolate too!). I picked up a DARK Milk chocolate bar for myself to try...If you can't decide if you like dark or milk chocolate better, why pick when you can have both in one? They also have these adorable vials of hot cocoa mix for 2...perfect stocking stuffers or stand-alone gifts. I am really glad that Raphio made it through the pandemic and hopefully is doing well. On the southwest corner of Barstow and First Streets in Fresno, California and with an online store available if you're not in the area, you can't go wrong with supporting a local business that makes their chocolate from SCRATCH (they roast and process their own beans!), and they do an amazing job of it! 10 stars if Yelp would let me!

I can only assume the authors of these kind of reviews are drunk or smoking crack, because Ampersand has never once let me down in terms of their service or quality. Have there been flavors that ended up not being for me? Absolutely, but I also don't think that every flavor out there is going to be "my thing", but half the fun is trying something new. For every one flavor that doesn't jive with me, they will have 50 other flavors that do. They have their core flavors all year long, and then seasonal flavors they rotate out on a month basis. The core flavors are good, but the seasonal ones are where the money is, they are a little more high concept and sometimes have combinations I wouldn't have considered. (Case in point, we purchased some today that is miso caramel and sesame brittle, its f'n phenomenal.) Are the prices higher than if you were to go to Baskin & Robins? Yes, but the quality of the product is also several orders of magnitude higher, as is the experience as a customer, and the cherry on top, I get to support a local business. tl:dr - It's good, just go.
