    BEST GELATO EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! First off, the sample sizes are huge. Then you get to the actual gelato sizes, and they're MASSIVE! I got two scoops and could not finish it, which is unbelievably rare for me. They had a chocolate Oreo flavor, which was phenomenal. They didn't scrimp at all on the Oreo pieces. It was loaded up. Every chocoholic's dream! It also has two super cute patios to choose from. It's a hidden gem and I can't wait to take all of my friends here!

    Strawberry and biscotti cookie

    I was a fan of their Bischoff cookie gelato even though the cup it was in was leaking through the bottom. They add a triangle treat of some sort to every cup. Service was not a problem. They have an assembly line going. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Parking can be a challenge because it's on the main in Los Gatos.

    Non-ice cream options.

    Really good gelato in the heart of downtown Log Gatos, offering various flavors, including some rotating selections. It's a good place to cool down during many warm days. People were friendly. Quick to help and serve you either ice cream or coffee based drinks. Unfortunately, it's a very small shop without a restroom.

    affogato with cappuccino chip gelato
    Anna H.

    You know it's good when they take a KitchenAid mixer bowl filled with whipped cream out of the fridge to top off an affogato... I came after 4 miles on the Los Gatos Creek Trail. The cappuccino chip gelato was so rich and creamy without feeling heavy! If you love coffee, you will love this place. I'd love to try the espresso gelato. The only thing is just that the espresso will melt the gelato faster than you expect.

    Cute shop in the middle of downtown Los Gatos. On a hot day, Italian ice cream is a treat. The prices are what I'd expect in Los Gatos. The service wasn't ok. What was unexpected, however, was that the store was a little unkempt. There was trash and spills everywhere. Just keeping it real, sorry. I think Dolce Spazio is cute, and I've been there several times. I hope it stays around for a long time. I think there can be some minor adjustments, like offer a larger variety of flavors and have staff clean more during their shifts. I understand it's hard to do that when it's busy, but I was there when there wasn't a line. There shouldn't have been messes everywhere.

    Holy Cannoli Gelato
    Miranda L.

    I came here on a Sunday with a friend at around 4:30 pm and there wasn't a line but the inside seating was all taken in the small space. They had a good selection of flavors, some with creative names and I think you can sample before ordering. Holy Cannoli - The name and the ingredients were all very enticing out of the different options. The gelato pull was impressive and the consistency of it was so creamy and whipped. The cracker on the side was flakey, nice to scoop the gelato with. The ricotta and sweet cream flavor mixed with the crunchy pistachios and chocolate chips were a great balanced combination of sweet and lightly salty. Such a cute shop to get high quality gelato in the Los Gatos area. I would definitely come back to try some of their other flavors next time.

    Strawberry Champagne Sorbetto in the smallest size
    Derah M.

    Came in on the Fourth of July. It was somewhat busy, but the service was super quick and friendly. I sampled two sorbettos: one tropical flavor (can't remember the name, but it tasted like mango and wasn't my favorite) and the Strawberry Champagne, which was so much better. The Strawberry Champagne Sorbetto was creamy, soft, and incredibly refreshing. It was perfect for a hot day. I got the smallest size and was surprised it came with about three generous scoops. Definitely a great value and worth a stop if you're in the area.

    Uno cup with menta chip and strawberry and cream.

    Dolce Spazio is a South Bay institution. It's been here since I was a kid and the place looks the same decades later. It's clean yet rustic and charming. The service is very fast and friendly as it always has been. The value is pretty good as a decent size cup of gelato is about $7. The gelato itself is decent. It's kind of sticky and gummy but it has good flavor. My favorite flavors are the menta chip and strawberry and cream.

    Delicious gelato spot to check out if you go to Los Gatos! There's many flavors to choose from (can also sample) and the serving size is very generous. Love getting different flavor combinations each time I go! There's not much seating here but it is nice to walk around this area!

    Michael L.

    This place was really good! They have quite a few non-traditional gelato flavors which honestly I liked quite a bit. The staff is also super chill and friendly, plus, the portion sizes are easily the best that I've seen at any gelato place around. They'll let you put (technically) as many flavors as you want, even into the small cup! I had the small cup with the butterfinger and biscotti gelatos and it was so tasty! This is a strong 5 star review and deserves a visit from anyone who happens to be in Los Gatos downtown. I have found my new go-to dessert place in LG downtown!!!

    While grabbing dinner next door, we couldn't help but notice the stream of people stopping by Dolce Spazio for gelato. With the heat, we knew we had to grab a scoop. There was a short line, but it moved quickly. I went with the tiramisu gelato on a cone -- super creamy with rich, well balanced flavor. They've got a great selection of unique flavors too; I sampled a couple others, and they were just as good. Dolce Spazio is a solid spot to cool off on a hot day or you're just looking for some high quality gelato!

    This place is worth the wait- in line- there usually always is a line. I love the mint chip, the cappuccino chip, the espresso, and my kids love the strawberry cream gelato. They give samples and the prices are super reasonable. They have kids scoops too. There is some indoor seating and outdoor seating. There's usually live music next door so grabbing a gelato and sitting outside is a real treat in the summer.

    I love this place! The chocolate flavor is amazing. It's very rich and intense. It's definitely my favorite.

    Almond Gelato 4.8/5. Love the chunks

    New location in downtown Los Gatos, small attached parking lot in front, but also public lots…read morebehind and nearby. Staff was attentive and really fast at helping people, so the line went quick. I went midday, right before lunch, and several pastries were already out. It sounded like they don't make the pastries at this location and they are brought over from the main location (which is much larger). This location is fairly compact, just enough room for folks to order in a line, and all seating (still limited) is outside facing the parking lot. Even then, there was a good selection of pastries and even a few "sandwich"/savory options (although quite limited). There's a handful of coffee/drink options as well. For the price, I thought it was a tad expensive, but overall I got the ham & gruyere sandwich and the matcha chocolate croissant and both were pretty good (although the matcha chocolate was sweeter than I expected). I would come back as a treat to myself, but it wouldn't be my first stop for pastries per se. Cute cafe though and very friendly staff.

    Their croissants are disappointing. They say they make them with real French butter and flour, but…read moreyou can't taste either butter or wheat -- it just tastes overly sweet and bread-y. Ideally, a croissant should have crackly, flaky, buttery layers. Theirs is not crispy enough. I feel this bakery prioritizes aesthetics over taste. The tastes and textures are not properly developed. Everything is overly sweet and bland. Same in their Santa Clara location. I tried pistachio basque cheesecake. You could taste cheese, but not caramelization from the Basque effect, or pistachio. Very basic. At their other bakery location, I tried a few matcha things and they were plagued with same problem. The matcha flavor was not pronounced and everything tasted ersatz and boring. Bummer. as it's a super cute little cafe in downtown Los Gatos and they have so many nice looking options.

We had to see if they had any, and luckily there was exactly one left! We bought it to have for breakfast the next morning. I'll admit, I was a little nervous because it was packaged in a bag and I wasn't sure how well it would hold up overnight. But the next morning, we basically fought over who was going to get the biggest piece. It was still flaky and delicious, and there was chocolate in every bite. The chocolate was in strips through the middle rather than spread throughout the entire pastry, but there was still enough that we never had a bite without chocolate. It ended up being such a sweet way to start our last day in town. They had so many other pastries and desserts that looked absolutely amazing, but we had just eaten lunch and knew we were heading back out for the day, so we didn't want to risk buying something that might melt in the car. If you're in Los Gatos and love chocolate croissants as much as we do, definitely stop in! And if there's only one left...don't hesitate. Grab it!

Do note that this review was from the result of only getting the froyo. The frozen yogurt at Auzzy was bad. Inedibly bad. Over priced goop that doesn't taste like the description--although the double chocolate was passable. The flavors were very artificial and tasted a far cry from the labels. It truly made me miss Yogurtland and I almost wanted to find a Yogurtland and go there and then. The toppings were old. You could tell from The chocolate chips when they all have that gray hazy over them--the old chocolate film. They peanut butter chocolates were all stuck together. The other items, pretty bad. Then, they try to pass marshmallows for "mochi". When I asked the guy up front, he said they're just old. No, bro, they're quite soft and look nothing like mochi--mochi gets hard when it's old--but thanks for admitting what I suspected, that many, if not all, of your toppings are stale. Also, thanks for lying to me. $8 for a cup was pretty expensive (mind you we got almost no toppings). At this lack of quality, irredeemable. We didn't finish our yogurt.

I also tried the Alpha Dog West Coast IPA, which has a higher ABV and was another tasty choice, especially with my burger. I went with the smashburger and fries, and it was fantastic. Packed with flavor from the Memphis‑style BBQ sauce, avocado, and pickled red onions on a brioche bun. We were sharing it, and they even split it onto two plates for us -- a small touch we really appreciated. Only complaint was the bartender was NOT friendly at all. We felt like we were making him work. Definitely need to get someone that wants to work and not that guy! Despite this, we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu and enjoy another brew.
