    Small Gelato. Cookies and cream w whipped cream.
    Cindy R.

    Love love love their gelato. I had the cookies and cream and it had a hint of caramel flavor. So delicious. Add some toppings to make it extra tasty.

    What a great little place! Stopped by a couple days ago and the gelato was fantastic! Friendly staff, quick service, reasonable prices and great atmosphere. The evening we went there was a live person playing in the large courtyard in front of the shop. Highly highly recommend this place if your looking for a cool treat in this Texas heat!

    Between the service and the gelato (flavor and choices), the 20 minute drive we made solely to come to Congelato was not worth it. It's located in a charming square in Old Helotes. On an early Saturday evening the atmosphere was familial and relaxing... until we walked into Congelato. Two teenage girls were enjoying a snack and were putting food into their mouths with their fingers. Good for them. Take a break! But when they got up, only one of them washed her hands. The other (the dark haired young lady) asked us what she could get started for us. I asked her if she could wash her hands before serving us and the look she gave me could've killed. It was a look of incredulity, irritation, and "I know you didn't!" But I did, and I meant it. I asked her if that were a problem and she said no, but that they usually put on gloves, to which I responded, "That you have to grab with dirty hands." Why are we even having these discussions during Covid? We ordered our gelatos, but when they handed us a pager to let us wait outside, we decided against it. I didn't have much confidence that they wouldn't do anything to our gelatos. We paid a little over $25 for three small and 1 medium. Still left a tip despite the fact my entire family was now offended at the way she responded to me because we're decent people. The mouthfeel and flavors of the gelatos were underwhelming. When comparing to other gelaterias here, like South Alamode and Paciugo, as well as those we've had in Italy, this came nowhere near what we've come to expect. The texture was closer to milk ice than gelato and the coffee and chocolate tasted of decreased quality ingredients. All things considered, the four of us all agreed we'd rather make the trek down to Southtown for gelato than to come back for bad service and so-so gelato. Edited to address the owner's comment: -the customers "interviewed" were not us, nor where the ones he's referring to even in the store at the time of the interaction. Video camera can prove that so I invite them to post it. - the owner went back and forth with me in messages where his story about the rude employee and her serving us changed 3 times. If she had no intention of serving us, why did she ask, "What can I get started for you?" -the owner told me he is half-Black. As a Black man, he should know how detrimental it is to use verbiage like "you intimidated her," "your were aggressive," as he did in private messages. I asked a food service worker to wash her hands before serving us. There's nothing aggressive or intimidating about that. - if a food inspector witnessed what we did and asked the same question, would they be considered "disrespectful" as I was called in private messages? - not once did the owner address the way the employee reacted to my valid question. He can prove I wasn't lying about the way she responded to me when I asked her to wash her hands, which she had not done, nor was making moves to do so. Yet he wants me to give feedback at the time when I was shot dirty looks after asking for basic sanitation to be practiced? Okay.

    Great service with the most amazing gelato I have tasted in quite some time! The atmosphere was wonderful with live music playing. I will definitely be coming back with friends! Thank you!

    Came here with my family for a nice family outing. The owner was super helpful and sweet. We ordered two gelatos, Affogato, and a pretzel. We will be back. Everyone should come here and experience this stellar place. 5 STARS. Thank you so much Yvette!!!

    Located in Quaint Old Town Helotes with all the shops and boutiques. Definitely nice strolling in for some gelato. First impression is the superb customer service by the owner who welcomed us and introduced us to the wonderful choices of gelato. A plus for this place. The gelato is homemade by an Italian friend of theirs and is vegan friendly and all natural flavors. Their flavors range from creamy to fruity. I enjoyed my tangerine basil gelato. So refreshing!

    This small shop has super friendly folks and delicious gelato! They rotate through a variety of flavors which makes going back really exciting. They do a great job of posting their current flavors on socia media- you can follow them on facebook and Instagram (probably others also). I highly recommend you check them out! If we even hint at going to this place, our 6 and 4 year old sons go nuts- it's their favorite treat! Great outdoor atmosphere and lots of other little shops to check out in old town Helotes- it's a real treat in close proximity to San Antonio.

    Very delicious ice cream and friendly service! There is plenty of seating areas right next to this place. Highly recommended!

    We were in Helotes having Gelato at Congelato. While enjoying our sweets at a picnic table outside the establishment, we saw Steve Browne (retired channel 12 weatherman) walking into "Congelato" with three walking sticks. He had gone to give the owner Yvette one that he had made. As he was leaving we struck up a conversation with Steve letting him know that we missed him as our weatherman; he jokingly said that he is loving doing whatever he wants to whenever he wants to and showed us the two remaining walking sticks. They were very well made and he had signed and dated each of them. He said he was going to start selling them! Well.... on that note, I was his first customer My bestie bought his other walking stick! I think I got a bit side tracked; this shop is a gem and the owners are personable, knowledgeable and very friendly! The owner was a news editor for KSAT 12 and retired to follow her dream of being a store owner entrepreneur. You will love the gelato and meeting the owners; it takes you back to the country feel!

    Super yummy and friendly service- great place to stop in for a sweet treat. When you walk in, you are immediately greeted with a friendly gelato dealer Sorbets are delicious especially if you want a dairy free option.

    We have been wanting to try this ice cream place for a long time. Tonight we had that opportunity. They were busy... three orders ahead of us but they made sure to let us know and keep us updated. We ordered a root beer float and chocolate ice cream with sprinkles. Both were delicious! We took them togo and enjoyed them at home. I would highly recommend!

    Vegan strawberry gelato? (Idk ice cream names) sorbet? It was amazing!

    FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more Walked in on a whim after a bday dinner for the hubby at the Texas Roadhouse. I was in search of a sweet treat to celebrate at home and boy, was I ever in for a treat! THE LOCATION: in a bustling and popular shopping center with tons of parking, and other fun businesses, right off the 1604 in the Alamo Ranch area. I have no idea what to expect so I just burst thru the doors like I owned the joint ready to embrace something new. THE MENU: aside from some lovely beverages, the dessert offerings are pretty straightforward. CHEESECAKE!!! And in the best possible, gourmet, decadent way. My eyes were popping out of my head! THE SERVICE: Lucky for me, a very patient gentleman behind the counter was available to assist me during a lull. I'm very grateful for the time he took to answer all my questions. THE GOODS: I knew I wanted cheesecake tonight, but after watching those sweet treats watching me right back through a shield of glass, I understood that I NEEDED cheesecake, and stat! While there were sooo many flavors available in the jars, I wanted to eat cheesecake the traditional way; with a fork to slowly dissect and discover the flavors and texture of each layer. By all appearances, these treats are not your average cheesecake and I'm so intrigued. I choose one slice of each flavor available. At $9 per slice, I'm lucky there were only 3 flavors at this hour. Lol! The jars, btw, are $7 each. Now, I had to ask what ingredients were in each flavor becs there is no written description anywhere in the store. The names do no justice in identifying what you're getting either. Names like "Summer Daze" and "Midnight Berry" leave much to the imagination. Sure, you can see chocolate and/or raspberries, but believe me... you don't really know what treasure you've got until it's melting on your tongue. I can't get home quick enough to meet up with the hubby again. Yayyyyyy! Dessert!!! THE TASTES: Heaven. Nirvana. Jack standing at the bow, arms stretched wide shouting, "I'm the king of the world!" That. That's what it's like. And I literally dissected and analyzed each lovely layer, mostly fluffy, decadent mousse, creamy, cheesy and rich. The crust bottoms. Holy smokes! I actually avoid graham cracker crusts but not this one. A-MAZING. Another slice had a crisp shortbread-like crust. Like, WHO DOES THAT?! Omg. I gorged until I regretted rushing in. Total amateur move. I also secretly selected 2 of the 3 slices that I knew my hubby would turn his nose up to. HAHAHAHAHA! Joke's on him. Trust me. Seriously, trust me. If you love cheesecake, mousse, fresh and tart fruit flavors (like fresh fruits and lemon curd!), give a slice or jar a try. And try a lovely match drink, too. Maybe I'll see you there!
