The owner is very friendly and he patiently described different flavors and helped us choose. And of course you can taste a few flavors before you make up your mind. Other staff are very f'kind and friendly and provide great customer service. They change their menu every other week and include seasonal flavors. You can buy scooped gelato or in boxes to take home with you. One of the most delicious flavors is "Vegan Saffron Cardamom Kulfi". Undoubtedly the best saffron gelato I've ever had in my life. We also tried "Ontario (Pop) Corn", "Lychee Passion Fruit", "Peaches & Cream" and "Vietnamese Coffee". I had never thought Pop Corn gelato would be delicious, but to my surprise, it really was! We also tried their soft serve "Salted Caramel" in a waffle cone and "Soft Serve Vanilla Bean + Pistachio Cream". Everything was fresh and tasty.

A cute little cafe that sells cakes and little pastries like cream puffs and little cakes and tarts. The vibe in here is great. Honestly 'cute' is the perfect way to describe the interior. I ordered the puffs. The person at the counter said their most popular are the sea salt oreya, matcha and ube. I obviously had to try them all (I shared with my family). I also ordered the salted caramel one (I think). All the puffs were delicious. The cream inside is really good. Had good flavour and did not disappoint. Each puff was $5. Would go back next time I'm in Hamilton!

Amo Gelato was okay. You can get small portions for the price of a regular ice cream cone. I've…read morejust never been that much into gelato. And since I have ice cream or gelato on rare occasions due to diet, I'd rather really indulge and just have ice cream. My wife and her mother liked it very much. They both had chocolate. I tried the caramel cheesecake. Not a big fan. Not incredibly sweet. Seating was rather sparse, so a couple of us needed to stand and eat. I'd suggest spacing out the tables. Half the tables were taken up by one family who had 3 put together - which wasn't really necessary. I mean, who puts their paper cup of ice cream down on the table while they eat? Sorry, gelato!

I made my boyfriend throw a U-turn when we were driving up Locke St and saw Amo. This resto with…read morethe store above it is the cutest thing ever. It was brightly lit during night and definitely made me stop. The interior was cute asf. It was so bright and clean with soft blue walls and little knickknacks scattered throughout the store. My boyfriend and I got the pistachio and white chocolate I believe (I only remember that it was white). The pistachio was thick and creamy. Just the right amount of sweet & tastes amazing. A definite re-buy! The white chocolate was unmemorable. Tasted like sugar with very little of anything else. My boyfriend didn't mind it but the pistachio is def the fave. There is a limit of 3 samples so use them wisely. Price wise it was fair as they do fill the cup to the top and then more.

I remember years ago when I first stepped into a real Chinese bakery. Actually, it was probably…read morethe first time in any real authentic Chinese place. I grew up in Scarborough (yes...Scarberia, Scarlem, ...blah) and Chinese food was your standard sweet and sour chicken balls, fried rice, egg rolls and fortune cookies. Thank the Lord that I went to UofT in downtown Toronto. It was an education in people, places, and things!!! I got to experience many flavours of Asia. Especially food from different parts of China and surrounding countries. It was wonderful, but I never liked was their desserts. Always found it artificial tasting, lacking in basic amounts of butter, milk, sugar, even technique. I didn't expect much walking to Hui Lau Shan, however, the business has done a wonderful job of modernizing and making the shop comfortable. Numerous seats and bench for you to plop yourself down and enjoy a meal on tables that have been made by one of the staff's significant other. Fun fact! It turns out that this is a chain from a famous dessert place back in Hong Kong. Here is a wiki on them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hui_Lau_Shan The story of how this location was put together and opened was quite charming and cute. One of the owners came to Canada over a decade ago and wanted to have her favourite dessert place. Worked with a couple of people and opened up this franchise. Standing next to her husband, they recount the tale of how the place opened and what they wish to accomplish. The main attraction at HLS is the MANGO. They take painstaking steps ensure that they get the right variety and do their best to ensure that it is just ripening. Much detail to the freshness is seen in all their ingredients and finished products - they will not sell their mochi mango balls if they have been sitting for two days. Production must be well thought out. Their are plenty of choices on their menu. So many items in both to go cups and sit down and enjoy goblets. The number of ways they can produce a mango dessert is mind boggling. The way they prepare and plate is well thought out too. My personal experience and review, is based on the hospitality of the place, and the takeout that I had. I ordered a mango pomelo sago drink, and 6 of their mango mochi. WOW!...flavour explosion. Move over ice cream and waffle joints, move over french cafes, and Italian bakeries. Asian desserts have landed! You can really taste the freshness of the mango, the sweetness and just the little tartness that I like. Their sinful mochi is stuffed with a generous chunk of mango and dusted in coconut shavings. You cannot stop at one...or even 2. I had my espresso after the mochi as I didn't want to spoil the taste of each bite. I think that there is an HLS nearby and hope to have the same experience there, but I will make a note to drop by here if I am running through Hamilton. OR hmmm...any Commuting Yelper can pick me up a dozen please!!! Cheers!!!

Calling all Mango lovers out there! Rejoice for a menu filled with mango options from mango sago to…read moremango pancake! The cute little dessert place will surely be a popular spot for late night cravings in the heart of downtown Hamilton. The owner is a cute couple that I was able to chat with. The wife loved this chain of dessert cafe in Hong Kong so much she and her husband decided to open a location in Hamilton. They ensure the freshness of the products they serve and everything is made fresh the day of, even if the process takes longer, their integrity is there. That is why I loved this place! Their Mangoes are perfectly ripe and sweet and they use the smaller mango that has a better taste and texture compared to the big mango that's more stringy and not as tasty so you are paying for quality ingredients. You can just tell by the colour that the mangoes will be sweet. I loved their pomelo mango sago, mango pudding with in house milk sauce and topped with mango chunks, the mango romance is a trio of mango mochi, sago and mango ice cream, a bit of everything to try! My hands down favourite though, would have to be their Mango coconut noodle dessert. I loved slurping the smooth and cool coconut flavoured noodle dripping with their Mango sauce. Boy that's a treat for me because I've never had something so unique and tasty! Durian lovers can enjoy a thin pancake filled with fresh whipped cream and durian. They also sell fruit teas as well. This chain has become popular in China, Malaysia and South Korea. I know that they will continue their success here as well because they are far better compared to chains like Sugar Marmalade, that have tasteless fruits in their desserts from my past experiences. Drop by today and check them out! I'd be here a few times a week if I lived in Hamilton or at least weekly if my wallet allows me to!
