A lovely little gem in the Washington Heights area, despite the coldness of gelato, every time I…read moresee that Cold Spoons is still open, it warms my heart! While not much to look at, and certainly not a place that anyone would consider "fancy," they are fancy where it counts: in the service and the quality of the food. Over the years, no matter who is on staff, they are always friendly and patient, even when I'm a bit more indecisive, or ask for a shake (if you can get a shake, always get a shake) which is more time-consuming. The last time we were there we totally hung out until a minute before closing and never did the person working glare at us or start sweeping our shoes with the broom, we got the hint all on our own!

4.5* (out of 5) 07/29/2023…read moreThis place was recommended to us by a great server (Scot) at Sopra Bistro when we mentioned that our next stop was for ice cream. It is our understanding that it opened relatively recently, but given the great flavors and taste...I'm guessing it will do well. We ended up going with a Salted Caramel and a Pistachio for our choices and while we found each of them a little more salty than we'd prefer, they were both delicious! My apologies...as we started eating them too quickly and didn't get pictures. If you are looking for some good gelato in the heart of Lake Geneva, you will love this place!

Sweet Home Gelato hits that perfect "treat yourself" note every single time…read more My wife and I have made this our go-to stop after date night dinners or a stroll through local boutiques. Whether we're dressed up from dinner or rocking comfy post-shopping vibes, this spot always welcomes us like regulars. The service? Top tier. Friendly, fast, and always ready with a smile and a spoon. They don't rush the process -- they want you to find your flavor soulmate. Pro tip: ask to sample, they're always down to help you discover a new favorite. Speaking of which -- here's mine: get the Small (trust me, it's not that small), because you get to combine two flavors. Lately, I've been hooked on the combo of classic vanilla and pineapple. It's like creamy meets tropical vacation -- light, refreshing, and oddly sophisticated for something in a cup. The ambiance is casual but cozy, making it the perfect cherry on top to any night out. Whether you're with your partner, your friends, or just treating yourself (as you should), Sweet Home Gelato is always worth the detour.

Beautiful space, it's really lovely. This chain could put a little effort into being more European…read more A Gelato cafe should have good espresso served in proper espresso cups and saucers. The right atmosphere is here to sit alone to contemplate or read, or to chat with a friend or play a game of chess but ceramic espresso cups and saucers are a basic requirement. I'd like to see a couple more fruit flavor sorbets which do go well with espresso. Only disposable containers is not very classy, and the plastic isn't healthy for humans or the planet.

The place has several small tables inside, and there are a couple of tables outside as well. Got greeted with a friendly smile by the two woman behind the counter. Let us take our time to order, and willing to have a friendly chat. They have a selection of Gelatos, Fruity Ice Creams, Cannolis and Ice Cream sandwiches. They make the gelato in small batches, so you are assured that they will be fresh. I got a medium dish with a couple of flavors, fudge brown and stracciatella (aka Romeo and Juliet). Our server did a great job of packing as much into that little dish as possible. Thanks! Since the dining room is small, it can get a little cramped or noisy. A definite go-to for a gelato treat.

Must try: Mini Flight!…read more Why: Chocolate Chip Cherry, Salted Caramel, Milk Cookie, and Berry Sorbet mini flight was a great way to sample multiple flavors. My favs were Milk Cookie, and Chocolate Chip Cherry. Also love the mini sugar cone. You could get 4 mini cones if you want but I opted for just one since I had a large lunch. Notes: Location was a short walk from my hotel. After ordering, I took a walk towards the river to see the Harley-Davidson Museum from across the way. It was a beautiful sunny day so I enjoyed eating the ice cream peacefully while walking on the Hank Aaron Trail.

Probably a 3.5 on my first experience but I'll round up bc I didn't try too many flavors. I got a…read morewaffle cone with a single scoop of salted caramel. The ice cream was solid, good texture but not the best caramel I've had. I would still get it again. I tried the honey bee but it didn't have much flavor. They did have a promo for a free mini topper of the sunflower butter which was unique and tasty! The downfall was the waffle cone. They were homemade but somewhere mine was like soft and soggy... and not even the part touching the ice cream. Strange but maybe bc it's so hot?

This female owned business is amazing! They offer a variety of confectionery treats from cookies to Gelato! It's all AMAZINGLY and made with high quality ingredients. I sampled the bon bons and the lemon Gelato! Yes, f chocolate isn't your thing, there are other options. On a really hot day, that lemon Gelato was refreshing and tasty. There were real lemon bits in it and it was pure delight consuming it. I felt like a kid on a hot sunny day. I just wanted to sit in a park swing and kick as high as I could. Yes, it was so good it made me daydream! My favorite bon bon was a caramel flavored one! It made me feel warm and gooey. I think I was humming because my dog was looking at me with his head to one side and one ear up and the other down! I am a FAN of that bon bon for sure!!! Drop in and check out this little shop! You won't be disappointed. I know from previous trips they have mouth watering macarons too! Made fresh right there in the shop! I highly recommend the rose, lemon, vanilla, and caramel ones.
