    Refreshing in a hot summer day!!! Friendly staff, interesting unique flavors with a twist, and creamy gelato. They have multiple locations all throughout Pearl Street. They offer fresh waffle cones or cups in various sizes. Not much seating inside the establishment itself but outside there is seating everywhere. Highly recommend for a delicious treat!

    Small cone with 2 flavors: Gooey Caramel Butter Cake + Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch! 7/2025

    After a long afternoon of browsing Pearl St. we opted to grab a bite at Busaba (Thai) followed by desert just down the block, here at Gelato Boy. They gladly provide tasting samples. We each opted for the small cone but with two different scoops/flavors. One of the tryouts (Gooey Butter Cake Caramel) persuaded me to choose it and the other flavor was my typical standby profile (Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch)... see pic! Flavors of both were amazing and their consistency/temperature were just right - firm, yet on the verge of beginning to melt. There are 4-5 ice cream/gelato cafes along Pearl and prices here are on par. Staff were all pleasant and the inside was cleaning/inviting.

    Great flavor selection. Right on pearl. Friendly and nice about giving samples. Samples in metal spoons!

    As someone who loves gelato but is lactose intolerant, I loved the variety of non-dairy flavors Gelato Boy had! I got the dairy free chocolate and the cookies and cream, both of which were creamy without being too sweet. The chocolate was reminiscent of chocolate sorbetto I had in Italy, decadent and slightly bitter, and most importantly, didn't have a coconut milk base (like most df options in the States do). Of course I could never go wrong with cookies and cream, and this still held true after trying Gelato Boy's take on it. Personally I'd prefer even more cookies in the ice cream, but it was delicious nonetheless. The shop is located on a fun lively street with many restaurants, making it a the perfect post-dinner dessert stop. The staff was also vey friendly and patient, proactively offering large samples while waiting in line. I didn't feel rushed at all, which I usually feel is the case in ice cream shops. Can't wait to be back and try more of their lactose & lactose free flavors!

    Gelato Boy is located at one end of Pearl Street Mall and, for me, is the perfect sweet treat at the end of a hot, fulfilling day exploring in and around Boulder! The aesthetic of Gelato Boy is so cute and the branding is minimalistic and on point! They know how to market their stuff, but truly they don't even need to try too hard with their marketing because their gelato and other offerings truly stand on their own! They have such unique flavors of gelato here, along with plenty of classics, so you truly can't go wrong with any flavors! Of course, you are allowed to get tasters of the ones you're interested in to help aid your decision! Given how full I already was and a bit tired, I wasn't feeling *too* adventures, so I ordered a "tamer" flavor of salty cookies + cream, but my love for cookies + cream is next level, so I thoroughly enjoyed my one scoop of this and it just really hit the spot! The other flavors that really interested me that I'd love to go back and get proper scoops of were: lavender poppy, Sicilian pistachio, dark chocolate, and literally every sorbet flavor!! There's something for everyone here, they even have gluten free and dairy free options as well!

    We stopped by this ice cream shop while walking around downtown Boulder. They had few vegan options so we had to try. I got a vegan Maple Pecan Biscotti and it was amazing! You couldn't really tell that it was dairy free. Hubby got the Pistachio and Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch and he also enjoyed it a lot. The prices were pretty high but it's downtown Boulder so what you'd expect... Staff was very friendly, they have few chairs outside so you can enjoy your Gelato on fresh air.

    Amazing spot! Pineapple blood orange creamsicle and black raspberry chocolate chip were both perfect. Also got a free waffle cone with Yelp check-in!

    In the mood for something cold and something sweet. This place hit the spot and the line had diminished. Great service and we were allowed to have a taste sample. I fell in love with the Pistachio. I had ordered 2 scoops and a waffle cone ( I checked in and I got the waffle cone for free!). The quality of the ice cream was on par and the flavor was delicious. It was almost as if I was in Italy again. As we got our treats, we couldn't believe our eyes. There was a long line waiting to be served! We came just in time and we enjoyed it outside. They has a few seats just outside their entrance. They also have a few merchandise for purchase.

    This place is really cute and has quite a few options. The flavors are fun and unique and there are a lot of options for people with different allergies. I highly recommend coming here and I will be back again soon. They also have a rewards program you will want to look up before you come and a Yelp check in deal as well! The service was fast and was kind and fun. A small space but inside a bigger building where you can get out of the heat if you need to.

    I recommend the lavender poppy, Sicilian pistachio, coffee chip, and strawberry flavors. The ice cream flight is perfect for 2-4 people to share and you get to try a variety of flavors.

    This place has such yummy gelato. We got a regular with three scoops to share between the two of us. Pistachio, lavender, and dark chocolate. We both loved the thick texture and rich flavors. Price was very good for the area

    If you are in the mood for something special come here. Great flavors creative ideas and options. Good service. High quality ingredients. And a great area to walk and hangout in Boulder

    Tried this coffee shop a couple days ago and I absolutely loved the vibe. The seating area is…read morespacious, yet cozy at the same time--definitely a place I would consider visiting on a cold, dreary day. Cozy coffee shop vibe?: Check. But how is the coffee? I'm always a bit hesitant to order black coffee (my beverage of choice) when I'm out, due to the bitterness and acidity levels, but the coffee was surprisingly smooth here. Granted, I opted for the light roast, but it's all in the way it's brewed. Considering this is Pearl Street, where things can be a bit overpriced, the prices here were quite reasonable. Plus the service here is pretty great--super friendly. I'd definitely come back if I'm ever wandering around the area.

My barista was very nice and made good recommendations based on what I was looking for. The pumpkin spice flavor was great, overall what I expected. The outside looks small, but the interior is rather spacious with a lot tables for working on a laptop. The inside has 90s/early 2000s vibe with dim, ambience lighting. This is a super solid coffee spot that should be in your Boulder coffee rotation. Bonus - they offer goat milk as a milk alternative!

    What a joyous culinary experience! We arrived on time for our dinner reservation and were seated…read moreimmediately. Service throughout was cheerful, thorough and we were made to feel truly welcomed which we appreciated. The building is astoundingly beautiful from the moment you walk up to the heavenly scented rose garden out front to the handmade tile building to the statues in the fountain that lend just the right amount of peaceful tranquility....it's all quite remarkable to the senses. Then comes the feast with international influences from Persia to Africa to Asia, etc, it brings a masterful collection of flavors. We ordered the bao, hummus plate and Mediterranean salad to start and all were excellent. The bao was my favorite, pillowy soft with succulent pork. For mains we ordered: the lamb shish kabebs which were as expected and served with a delicious rice and tzatziki sauce, next was the spicy Indonesian peanut noodles with chicken and this was amazingly flavorful and perfectly prepared, but our last one was my favorite and that was the African Shoko which was beef that was so tender and delicious and paired with plantains and peppers which gave it this mild sweet heat that was an absolute delight! We most certainly couldn't end the night without dessert so we opted for the chocolate espresso mousse and the Austrian apple streusel which reminded me of my Grandma in the most perfect and beautiful way, it was delicious and if I hadn't been so full I would have eaten every bite! What a tremendous experience! I cannot wait to come back and try their tea service! This place is truly special!

That being said, do be aware that if you come on a hot day, it does get pretty stuffy in there. At least it was on the day that I went. The teas that I tried were yummy, but my favorites were the strawberry tea and the Lady Grey tea. The afternoon tea featured a variety of little sandwiches, pastries, and scones. It came with a jam, lemon curd and clotted cream for the scones. It was a lot of food so do go hungry. I made the mistaking of having a small lunch before this. The small sandwiches were so delicious! As well as the scones with the accompaniments. The cakes did not stand out to me in any way. If you're looking for a nice little afternoon tea with a friend, this would be a great place for that.
