I first had gelato boy in boulder so when I was looking for a sweet treat, I was thrilled to learn there was a gelato boy in downtown. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great little spot to get a treat while waiting for a show to start at the Paramount.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are lots of flavors to try from something not really sweet to salty to a sorbet. I think there's something for everyone. They let you try samples. The gelato is quite tasty. It's very creamy but not super sweet. I like that it's quite rich and thick. They give you a good amount in one scoop. I had the pistachio and I highly recommend it if you are a pistachio person. read more

Excellent Gelato and such a nice treat after walking Pearl Street! We all.opted for the small size cups (plenty big portions!) Two of us chose two flavors each (you have up.to two flavors in a small and up to three flavors with a regular). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Busy place on a beautiful weekend day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Only one staff member working but he did a great job keeping up along with being polite and ask Ling how our day was going! Gelato flavors - Lavendar Poppy, Sicilian, Pistachio, Coffee Chip, and Carmelized Tiramisu! All winners! We are on vacation here in Boulder and plan to revist Gelato Boy again and again! read more

Still a 5 after all these years. I am in this area a lot but have been frugal with my calories recently. But the power of suggestion is real. When I saw a Yelp picture of their new summer flavor, I knew I needed it for dessert tonight. It was really really good. They used to have such inventive and frequently changing flavors. But they, like everyone else , lost a lot of momentum over the last 4 years. I'm so glad I saw this new summer flavor on Yelp today. And happy they have yet another location in Denver for the locals and visitors down there. And it all started at the Boulder Farmers Market about 12 years ago, under the original Italian name, Fiore di Latte. Still growing and pleasing us in Colorado. read more

The texture of the gelato wasn't creamy, it was more like the texture of ice cream. I ordered a small (two flavors) in a Waffle Cone. Salty Cookies + Cream: The flavor was mild - the most memorable part was the slight saltiness. Gooey Buttercake + Caramel: I definitely liked this flavor better. The caramel flavor was really intense which caused it to be a little too sweet for me. read more

The hype is REAL at Gelato Boy! You know a business is good when there are 2 locations within a few blocks of each other on the same street. Both locations are right there on Pearl Street which is an awesome retail and dining district of Boulder, CO. A friend and I grabbed lunch at a restaurant on Pearl Street then just walked the strip which I thought was the perfect afternoon activity. There are tons of shops, restaurants and bars in this area and the roads are pedestrian only. You could truly make a whole day out of Pearl Street. Anyway, back to the gelato. The flavors were completely insane and totally not like other gelato I've had before. Gooey buttercake caramel was my absolute favorite! Lavender poppy and salty cookes & cream also caught my eye. They were making homemade waffle cones in a waffle maker while we were standing in line and you can just imagine how great that smelled! Gelato boy was the perfect stop for a delicious afternoon treat on a beautiful fall day in Boulder! read more

Visited their other location a few months ago when we first visited Colorado, didn't realize they had 2 locations so close to each other. Got to check out this location this time around and it was just as cute. Their service was amazing!! Masks weren't really being worn here but then again I think majority of Colorado isn't really wearing masks anymore either. They rotate their flavors often, they didn't have mint this time around so I got the peach crumble & s'mores!! They were both so good & satisfying! The consistency of the gelato at this location was better than their other location. It was much thicker & creamier. Also they close at 10 pm here! I checked in on YELP for a free waffle cone but since they were out, the cashier gave me $2 off which was super nicer of her!! Had a great experience, definitely will be coming back next time I'm in town. read more

Nice sweet treat and the Pearl Street Mall is an awesome place to walk around. There are actually two Gelato Boy locations on opposite ends. Check in on Yelp to get a free waffle cone upgrade! Overall gelato consistency was excellent and it didn't melt quickly. - The gooey buttercake with caramel is a phenomenal flavor highly recommend! Rich flavor, cake chunks, and not overly sweet 5/5 - The pistachio didn't have as much flavor to pair against the gooey buttercake but I think would be a classic flavor 3.5/5 Waffle cone was crisp and delicious; saw fresh ones being made in store and it smelled so good. Didn't get soggy from gelato 5/5 Note because of Covid there are no flavor samples right now, but staff was helpful describing flavors and the popularity level read more

We were looking for a dessert spot in Boulder while visiting and happened upon Gelato Boy. Let me start by saying this is some of the best flavors and texture of gelato that I have had in the US. We decided on a flight with 6 flavors to share. In order of our favorites: lavender, gooey butter cake, chocolate hazelnut, chocolate malt, stracciatella, and raspberry choco chip. I really like chewy ice cream and this hit the spot to give me just that. It's a pretty good price for a flight of 6 scoops honestly. I have Jenis ice cream to compare some of these similar flavors to, and I actually liked the flavors and texture here better than Jenis. Definitely worth a try on a hot summer day when you're in the area. read more

Simplistic, no frills, yet this place nails it. Located in a small storefront on Pearl Street's West End, Gelato Boy does a terrific job meshing creative, in-store flavors with superb customer service. Toughest decision is which flavor to select, a challenge! I shunned Midnight Chocolate, Gooey Buttercake Caramel, and Strawberry Shortbread for their Very V@Nilla, which was outstanding.

Van Leeuwen has great ice cream, no question. The coffee flavor was excellent, genuinely good…read morestuff. But four stars instead of five because whoever is portioning the waffle cones needs a reality check. Two small scoops and not even filling the cone is not it. When I'm holding a waffle cone, I have expectations. There is a cone-to-ice-cream ratio that society has agreed upon and this did not meet it. The quality of the ice cream itself saved this review. If the portions matched the product, we're talking five stars easy. Get it together on the cone situation and we'll revisit.

I really like the variety of sizes- there's really something for everyone. It is a bit pricier of a dessert but I think it is worth the money as the quality is good and it's a bit of a different experience. I'm not sure if they are charging extra for the level of annoyance from staff for ordering from their businesses or if they give it to you for free, but I sure wouldn't miss it. Hopefully it was just an off night as it was really the only downside to an otherwise pleasant evening.

I stopped by on a weekday afternoon and opted for the raspberry donut, which was incredibly fresh and tasty. It was quite busy on this weekday afternoon.

One of our favorite things during the pandemic when restaurants could reopen was picking up their in house chicken pot pie. It's my husband's absolute favorite chicken recipe which I used to make myself. Though I am unable to make it now that l have lost a lot of vision and not a single one we have bought elsewhere was sufficient until we ordered from The Post Boulder. After a short time it became too labor intensive for the Post to make in house back then with limited staff so they contracted with a pie facility in Denver. Compared to their own it was merely adequate so we moved on to there other in house specialties. As we were ordering gold specials for Sunday!s big game, I saw that the daily specials now include Chicken Pot Pies Thursday's so we went to try it. This ficus a personal size freshly made this morning it was nice to have for a meal with a side salad. But though good, it was not as hearty as the one we loved 5 years ago. Staff was friendly and attentive and my husbands favorite beer (El Korn) was on tap and my iced tea was customized perfectly . We even brought most of the salad home as it was a large serving for a lunch. We'll be back on Sunday for our wings and other treats that we need to pick up. And we can come back again for a lunch or dinner as the have more items for people like me who cannot eat fried chucked, with their grilled chicken or salmon.

Sounds like this place does events and tours, has a full restaurant food menu, and an entire secondary venue space I didn't see. Definitely a good find!
