    This little Gelato shop is located at the Lowes Portofino Bay hotel at Universal! They have a variety of flavors you can choose from including drinks and candy bars! If you are unsure about a flavor you can try it first and you can get two different flavors! I got a small cup with Birthday Cake and Caramel Cookie! I definitely recommend these two flavors. The only reason why I'm giving this place 4 stars out of 5 is because I also bought a water bottle and it cost me $7.50, now I completely understand that this is a tourist place but $7.50 for a water bottle is absolutely outrageous.

    Gelateria Caffe Espresso is a gelato spot at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel within Universal. It's one of the few sweet shops located onsite at the hotels. There is a wide variety of Gelato flavors inside the Gelateria. It's located right next to Starbucks. There are other options that you can select from inside the Gelateria such as candy bars, cereals and much more! If you're looking for a amazing Gelato place, you should check out Gelateria Caffe Espresso. There are plenty of different and unique gelato flavors, but limited, to choose from. You can also sit outside at the tables and get amazing views of the Loews Portofino Bay Plaza/Bay area.

    Coffee and pistachio are my favorite dessert flavors. Cappuccino was not bitter or intense enough - very sweet. Pistachio was pretty good but needed more nuts. Both needed some salt. Texture is amazing and I enjoyed taking it back to eat cozied up in front of the TV.

    After dinner at Mama Della's, we stopped for a quick gelato across the plaza at the Portofino. They were about to close but hadn't started putting gelato away, as far as we could tell. The geletaria is connected to a Starbucks, which was also about to close. We tried a couple flavors before settling on the lemon meringue pie and the mint chocolate chip. The flavors were not too sweet, which was perfect. They had a few of the classic flavors that we've had in Italy but not any to pique my sister's interest. My mom and I shared the cup of gelato and it was just enough to eat slowly while we explored the hotel. As others have noted, the variety of flavors is limited, but we had enough to choose two flavors. Looking for a lower key dessert than at the sit down restaurants? This geletaria might be your best bet.

    The Gelateria is located within Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. The ladies behind the counter are super sweet and helpful. They sell Gelati, Smoothies, Shakes, and Sundaes. You can ask to sample any of the Gelati flavors. There are two sizes available for the Gelati: Small ($3) and Large ($4). I ordered a large, which came with 2 scoops. You can ask for 2 different flavors. Flavor options include Swiss Chocolate, Dolce De Leche, White Chocolate Raspberry, Spumoni, Mango, Vanilla, Mint, Strawberry, Cookie Dough, and Tiramisu. I was able to try the Swiss Chocolate, Dolce De Leche, and White Chocolate Raspberry. The Swiss Chocolate was smooth and creamy on my first visit. It was more chunky and icy on the second visit. The Docle De Leche had a wonderful caramel flavor and the White Chocolate Raspberry was fruity and refreshing. I wouldn't say that this is the best Gelati I have ever tasted, but it was impressive for a Universal Orlando Resort on-site Hotel. Sal's Market Deli is also right beside the Gelateria. Overall, this is a nice place to satisfy your sweet tooth and cool down from the heat.

    Dolce two scoops Gelato

    Not much of a variety, but the dolce flavor was delicious! Two scoops were plenty for two people!

    Found this little gem wandering through Downtown Winter Park…read more Sat at an outside table, with good food. I had the fettuccine carbonara and my wife the lasagna, both were excellent with portions just right, We finished with cannoli also great. Service was exemplary.

It was nestled right in the downtown of Winer Garden. This felt like such a special place for a date night! The food was delicious! We started off with the bruschetta tomato and it was spot on. I love a classic bruschetta and it's hard to find one without cheese in the US (there were other options with cheese if that's your thing). I was so excited to order it and it did not disappoint. For our main entrees my husband ordered the pasta carbonara and I ordered my favorite pasta bolognese. WOW this is the best pasta bolognese I've found so far in the United States. The flavors brought me back to Tuscany and the pasta made in house was perfect! My husband enjoyed his dish but he is not as big of a fan of the large pieces of pancetta, but that is more of his own personal preference. We ended our meal with decaf espressos and dessert. My husband had the cannoli and I had the tiramisu. It was the best way to end our meal and we enjoyed every last bite. We are excited to come back and try some of the other dishes, the pizzas looked so yummy! Highlight: We had a table right in front of where they make their pasta. It was so cool to see it being made. My husband and I were mesmerized by the process.

The flavor is unbeatable. This is a nice break to sit and enjoy a quality dessert after walking around the mall. The bright decor is fun and you can sit in the store if you are lucky enough to get an empty chair. The many flavors of gelato means I need to go back and try a new flavor! They did not give samples when I went, but the two times I went it was delicious, so I don't think you can go wrong. I have seen some reviews that mention negative experiences with the staff. At the Florida Mall I had nice staff that made sure I was happy. This is more expensive than some ice cream you can get elsewhere, but remember this is not ice cream, it's gelato!

I was surprised to find the servers, in what should be a HAPPY PLACE, extremely rude. Right - getting gelato (aka ice cream) should be a happy experience. I wanted a few samples and didn't quite understand the sampling rules. For anyone that goes, YOU PAY first and then they let you sample to pick your flavor. No issue with that for me, other than they should have a little clearer direction versus the perceived looks that I should have known that. My suggestion - post something to let the customer know so they don't stand around bewildered. While we were eating our treat, we did see many people go through the same struggle. Next, the workers should not lie. My husband has some disabilities from a medical problem and I asked if they had a regular spoon I could get versus the very small gelato utensil. They right out told me "no, they did not have any other type of spoon". So he used what they had, which made the experience difficult. As we were eating, I noticed they had pies and some other desserts in the case (see photos). I then asked if you ordered a slice of pie, what do they give you to eat it with. Well, what a surprise, the cashier pulled out a lovely regular spoon with a long handle. I asked why they didn't say that before and no one could respond. I do know more than likely it is not the workers fault, but how they were trained by the manager. I will end on a good note, which is why I have given this a 3-star and not a 1-star. The GELATO - was great. We ended up with lemon pie and vanilla & two varieties of chocolate hazelnut. We shared them and loved the taste. I will not return due to the workers basically saying something that was not true when asked to help someone be able to better enjoy the experience.

I ordered the Korea iced coffee, and it was excellent -- smooth, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. It felt thoughtfully made and easy to enjoy all the way through, especially refreshing on a warm day. The atmosphere is one of the strongest parts of this place. The space is clean, modern, and well-designed, with a minimalist aesthetic that makes it feel comfortable without being sterile. It's quiet enough to relax but still welcoming. The menu is also nicely put together, offering a solid selection of drinks along with snacks and desserts. It's the kind of place you could visit multiple times and still have new things to try depending on your mood. Service was friendly and attentive -- Victoria in particular stood out and made the visit even better. Overall, Frosty Fox is a great addition to Baldwin Park and an easy recommendation if you're looking for quality drinks in a relaxed, thoughtfully designed space.

The brown sugar latte was overly sweet in my opinion. When I ordered it, I assumed it was a latte with espresso, but the barista informed me it did not, so I opted to add espresso. I wish I had just gotten a regular latte as it was a little pricey for what I had and then to add espresso. I would come back if in the area, but get a different drink :)
