I was really craving ice cream that evening and a couple of us had some time to kill. We waited for almost an hour bc the line was so long. Was it worth it? Yes! The flavors are great and lots of options to choose from. A huge fan of strawberry flavored gelato and they 4-5 strawberry options. They also have some not as sweet gelato options as well. The gelato shop is small w/ limited seating so if you grabbed a seat, consider yourself pretty lucky! read more

Possibly the best gelato I've ever had. I was torn between the toasted almond, espresso, and peanut butter, but went with the peanut butter--and it was incredible. So fluffy, creamy, and perfectly rich without being too heavy. Already planning my next visit. read more

I wish their menu included the flavors. Or I wish they had a flavor list at the front of the line. It's kind of hard to have to wait to see all the flavors for the first time when the workers are waiting to take your order. There is a sheet that lists a bunch of flavors, but it includes a lot of flavors that they don't even have available so it just seems a little useless. That being said, they did have a lot of interesting flavors that looked good. But Frost gelato is definitely on the sweeter side and price is on the expensive side. Workers are super sweet though! read more

Today Austin was sizzling at 95 degrees. While tooling around the Domain shopping center I needed a refreshing treat so I dropped by Frost Gelato since it was relatively close. It was not an original idea because the place had a queue about 30+ people deep when I got there and about 15 people when I left. I had to make a split second decision to stay or go. I went inside where it was nice and cool so decided to wait it out. Surprisingly, the line went pretty fast as they had two servers. One of Frost's customers pointed me to their website regarding information regarding the composition of gelato, which I found super interesting. Thought I would share it with you... "Translated from Italian, (jeh-lot-o) literally means frozen. Although gelato is a frozen dessert, the word does not begin to describe its immense flavor and texture. Gelato is often compared to ice cream because it is a frozen, creamy product, but there are actually many differences. Unlike American ice cream, which contains 10-20% butterfat, gelato contains anywhere from 3-8% butterfat. The United States Department of Agriculture has designated that any product under 10% cannot legally be called ice cream. As a result, gelato will never be able to take the ice cream name. Gelato is able to keep the low percentages of butterfat because we only use 3% milk instead of cream, raw eggs and butter in our production. Another feature of gelato that separates itself from American ice cream is the amount of air that is incorporated into the product. Most American style ice creams incorporate anywhere from 75%-100% of air. Gelato, however, incorporates a maximum of 20%. As a result, the gelato flavors are intensified because the butterfat acts as a dam and dilutes or blocks the flavors. What does all of this information mean? Simply, that gelato is the most intense, silky, dense, cool, and flavorful "ice cream style" product that will hit your lips. The flavor is simply indescribable. An added bonus: because of all these factors, gelato is much." I sampled two flavors - sea salted caramel and black cherry and landed on sea salted caramel. While gelato is somewhat healthy, I got the smallest cup (trying to cut back on sugar and carbs, where I can). The gelato was good, but did not compare to gelato I have eaten in Italy. read more

10/10 for this location Outside seating area, you can also walk (domain is very walkable) inside the shop the tables are almost always full, but it is a good atmosphere. A little loud and hectic but all ages (old and babes) You can try different samples and the servers are patient! I've tried ice creams/gelatos/frozen yogurts and this is my OG because of its thick consistency, variety in flavors (can't get tired) and how much they serve you. read more

What a sad ice cream parlor. I've never been to any place with worse customer service. Every single person ahead of us was allowed any sample they wanted. When it was my groups turn to get samples we were told we can only taste two flavors. How the heck are you supposed to choose what you want when there are 20 some flavors and you can only taste 2 to determine what you want. I didn't end up getting anything due to the employees comment. But my friends did and ice cream was mid. Here's menu pics so you can decide what you want before you go there since it'll be limited tastings. read more

The gelato was so creamy and rich!! After coming back from Italy, I have been on a hunt for a good gelato spot. The other spots in Austin have not been meeting my expectations because they were not creamy enough. I got the pistachio, although it was creamy but I wish it had more of a nutty pistachio flavor. The other "award winning" gelato was good, but wish it was a bit more chocolatey. Tasted more of the peanut flavor. I would definitely come back to try other flavors though (especially their fruit flavors). They have so many options to choose from. Service was okay, nothing exceptional but not rude. Cute ambiance, there are seatings indoor and outdoor. read more

They also have drinks like hot chocolate There are only 2 tables inside, each with 4 seats. There was one table outside but it was raining that day.

Finally checked out Frost on a Friday night (for the longest time I thought it was a bank ). Not only were the gelato flavors incredible, but the staff made my experience truly unforgettable with their warm and friendly service. They took the time to explain the different flavors and even offered me samples to help me decide. I felt like they truly cared about my experience and were passionate about their gelato. The gelato itself was delicious and incredibly fresh. I could tell that the ingredients were of the highest quality and that the gelato was made with care and attention to detail. The flavors were creative and unique, and I loved trying new combinations that I had never seen before. Next time, I want to try their Ge-Latte. Basically Gelato with espresso & ice. read more

I used to frequent the Domain a lot in college, and I would see a large crowd of people inside Frost Gelato. Now, I understand why. Frost Gelato has some of the best gelato I've ever had (I haven't been to Europe yet so this is strictly my opinion of North American gelato). I've sampled and tried a lot of their flavors, and I can honestly say that I don't think you can go wrong with any one of them. My favorites are any of the fruits, pistachio, coffee, and chocolate. I don't normally like chocolate as a flavor, but all of their flavors taste extremely natural and not artificial at all. Each flavor in the freezer is also decorated so beautifully. The texture itself is incredible--so smooth and creamy, and the flavors are super apparent and strong. I can't say enough good things about Frost Gelato. read more

Very convenient location in the domain. It's right next to the yard house, so rather than getting desert there it's perfect to have some gelato to cool down at hot summer weather. This place can get packed! When we first walk in, there are a couple people sitting inside, but by the time we get our gelato, there is a long line out the door. We ordered mint chocolate chip and salted Carmel flavors. The minted chocolate is really good, light mint flavor. However the salted Carmel is really really sweet. Not enough salt to balance it. read more

On my recent visit for some gelato, my husband and I observed incidents that really made us think if we want to visit this gelato shop again. We were sitting at the bar top area when a young worker was refilling the gelato cups. A few got toppled over and fell on the floor. The young lad picked it all up and placed them along the other stacked cups. This might not be an issue to some customers but this was an issue for me especially having worked in the food industry before a Also noticed that a coworker was cleaning tables and never washed his hands after coming back to serve other customers in line. read more

Stopped by here after walking around the domain on a blazing hot summer day! We needed something cool to make the texas heat bearable and saw that there was a gelato shop right there! We walked up and they were so busy that the line was out the door! After spending way too much time looking at all the flavors and sampling a few, I decided to try the chocolate chip looking flavor. I forgot the name, but I decided to get a cone which was a mistake because it was so hot outside. The gelato tasted okay. Kirti liked it more than I did. I thought it tasted a little too watery and the waffle cone did not taste that sweet. Maybe I just got a bad flavor, but it just wasn't satisfying. I also felt like it was pretty overpriced. read more

I know many Austinites have an undying loyalty to a local ice cream chain but it simply does not compare to Gelato Paradiso (unless you're my husband and can't get enough of Mexican vanilla). The pistachio gelato is intensely nutty, perfectly smooth, and easily my favorite. The raspberry is a close second - packed with fruity flavor and the texture is somehow thick n creamy despite being a sorbet. It'll be hard for me to peel away from these two options, but samples of the dark chocolate and salted caramel were also so good. Ask for two flavors if you can't decide, the servers are happy to help. Not a ton of seating/standing options but there are benches right outside. Love the little window that lets us peek into the kitchen where the magic is made. Shoutout Baldinucci Pizza Romana forever and ever for introducing me to the wonderful Gelato Paradiso!

You would never guess they're gluten-free everything is soft, flavorful, and perfectly textured. The cinnamon rolls in particular are unforgettable, warm, gooey, and just the right amount of sweet. Truly some of the best I've ever had. And the Thai dishes? An explosion of flavor. Every bite is vibrant, rich, and beautifully balanced. You can tell everything is made fresh with high-quality ingredients and a lot of care. To top it all off, the staff is so friendly and kind. The whole space feels welcoming and full of good energy, which makes the experience even better.

When I arrived here, the attendant got as excited as I was and walked me through the entire menu gave me all of their popular flavors and his personal suggestions. He was so patient and offered us free samples for gelato flavors per person so between my fiancé and I we were able to try every single flavor that was on their menu. I went there to get the limited edition Yuzu cheesecake flavor, but ended up with the banana show you instead because it was just that much better. I highly recommend going here and trying out your version of favorite. They had some incredible flavors like black, sesame, pineapple cake, Texas sheet cake, mango sticky rice.

They offer a ton of unique gelato options, and the service was genuinely great. We were super indecisive, but they let us try samples, which helped us narrow things down! We ended up choosing the ube and the banana shoyu caramel. Ube is a familiar favorite for me, but the banana shoyu caramel was the standout. It was rich and I was so glad the banana flavor did not taste artificial! Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the mood for a creative dessert. I'd definitely come back and look forward to trying their cookies and chocolates!

I think this was a one-time event. Not sure if they'll make it a yearly thing, but it was great!…read more $10 buys you 2 small cups of gelato & 3 small cones. Cones were slightly smaller in size than the cups, but definitely enough to enjoy the flavor & texture of each gelato. Vendors from Alaska, Canada, California, Chicago, and other cities were here to show off their best gelato. Glad they made a stop in Austin-- looks like they'll be going to Germany next, and then later even to Dubai. I personally LOVE LOVE LOVED Carmen Angelo Ricciardi's Maple Brown Butter Pecan. So much that I used my last ticket to eat another serving of his gelato. It's made with organic ingredients & alaskan sea salt. Tasted like a mixture of Hopdoddy's Salted Caramel shake & Pecan Praline ice cream. DELICIOUS. Other favorites: Banana Foster, Carmastachio Friends' favorites: Chocolate orange liqueur If they come again, I'd be game :D

Located on 6th Street, Jim Jim's is surprisingly accessible with parking spots available out front and just around the corner. It's not a sitdown place so keep that in mind for your stop, but the line does move fast and they are very efficient. There's a good variety of flavors and things they serve from italian ice to ice cream and shakes. We opted for a strawberry italian ice with condensed milk on top. From the first bite we were in heaven. The flavor is very thorough which is not always the case for Italian ices where it can sometimes be a bit muted. Every single bite of this was packed with flavor. They also carve out a bit of the middle to put the condensed milk which makes every bite much more equal than if it was just placed at the top. This was by far one of, if not the best, Italian ices we've ever had. We would very much recommend it to anyone in the Downtown area looking to cool off.

By far, passion fruit was my favorite out of the 3, the other 2 were refreshing, but not personal favorites. If your particular about flavorings the definitely have some artificial taste to them so choose wisely. It's a cute hole in the wall shop for a grab and go water ice. So many flavors to choose from, hope they open back up soon so I can try some more!

It's parked in a lively spot with other food trucks on campus, so the whole area has a fun, laid-back vibe. I went with the pecan salted caramel flavor, and it was spot on. The ice cream although wasn't as creamy as other gelato spots I've had, it was still fluffy and delicious, with that perfect balance of sweet and salty. I added a chocolate drizzle on top, which was definitely the right move, it tied everything together and made it even more indulgent. The owner was super friendly.
