The gelato is actually fantastic and definitely amongst the best in the area (including quite a large radius). The texture is just so smooth, creamy, and perfectly rich while somehow still maintaining some lightness so I could keep eating more. The flavors were relatively simple and traditional, but just packed and executed incredibly well. Overall just some truly great gelato. The shop itself is quite nice with a modern and well decorated interior, offering a good amount of seating inside, a bench outside, and with its location in the center of Downtown Cary there are plenty of places to walk around or to where you can enjoy. The service was friendly and efficient. Prices, while definitely on the higher side, are acceptable given the quality, especially for this quality of a sweet treat! Will absolutely be coming back for more and recommend all to give it a try.

Food: got the sour cherry and hazelnut chocolate gelato. The hazelnut chocolate was ok (just expected more flavor) but the sour cherry was surprisingly really good and the cherries definitely had a sour sweet tang to it.

This spot is located in the heart of downtown Raleigh, so parking is mostly going to be street parking and there are a few parking decks nearby. I ended up getting their version of an affogato with vanilla bean ice cream. It was delightful! You really can't go wrong with an affogato. They were quite busy for a Monday night and so it took a little bit to get our ice cream but there is seating inside and outside of the shop, so you can relax while you wait.

I had the Italian Panini with avocado (the avocado is an extra charge), and it was absolutely delicious. I also tried the La Poire dessert, and it was so good. It wasn't overly sweet or too rich, just very natural and perfectly balanced. We came on a Friday around 1 PM and even though there were about 10 people ahead of us, the line moved smoothly and there was plenty of seating both inside and outside. The customer service was top notch, and the staff was very welcoming. We'll definitely be visiting again. Also... whoever the guy is with the bracelets, black hair, glasses, and accent, he definitely added a little extra charm to the experience aka very very attractive.

I think this was an Italian bakery...and it had a truly sensational selection of pastry items, some which were quite arty and unique!! They were also somewhat pricey...but I wanted to try so many. I ended up trying this dessert called "The Fun Guy". It looked like a Mushroom, but inside, it was just heavenly bliss! (I included a pic with all the ingredients inside) Truly, it ranks as one of the best desserts I've had in a LONG time. That's saying a lot, given how I go to bakeries a LOT! I will say, however, that their Iced Latte, wasn't that great. Still, for the bakery selection, I'll be happy to return here any day!

"Eastern-inspired ice cream and other sweets, next door to La Vaquita in Durham"…read more Stopped by this lovely shop at 7pm on a Saturday evening. The name a little hard to catch, but it's a small greenish building immediately beside La Vaquita on Chapel Hill Road (with the giant cow on the roof). The outdoor area is quite nice, with a fenced outdoor area having swings and other seating/ space for families. We were greeted quite warmly when we arrived. They had maybe ~15 flavors of ice cream or similar (will return to that in a second) as well as other sweets like baklava. But this is not your ordinary ice cream shop-- the flavors were unusual. Cucumber, date, and others caught my eye, but I didn't try those. Unlike one Yelp reviewer's comment, when we went, there was both a regular pistachio as well as a vegan pistachio option. I got something different-- I tried the falooda... a Persian inspired ice-cream-like dish with rose syrup and small cooked noodles. The texture is slightly like an italian ice, but the flavor was great. However, there's more-- on a table off to the side, there were separate lemon and cherry flavors that we were invited to try adding to the falooda. Let me tell you-- either addition turned a good dish into a heavenly dish! Sooooo good. Try it, but only if you're open to "this isn't just ice cream". There were also some wafer cookies to the side we were invited to have with our respective dishes. Seating inside was stools at benches facing a thin window bar-- outside is nicer if you have a big group and/ or if weather is nice, but it was fine. I did stop by the restroom briefly, and it was clean, too. Overall, definitely plan to come back to this eastern-inspired ice cream shop, and I encourage others to give it a try too!
