    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!

    Inside Gelato Boy

    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

    The best gelato in Boulder! The vanilla and butter cake flavor is to die for. I always bring out of towners here.

    I got the chocolate fudge brownie. It was okay, not the best I've had. Wasn't as rich as I was hoping.

    I take back what I said on here before about good vegan options, the new banana flavor is amazing! 11/10, hope it's a new staple flavor!

    Basta was genuinely one of the best dining experiences I've ever had -- and no, I'm not just saying…read morethat because I was 8 months pregnant and emotional at the time. There was something incredibly intentional about the entire experience. The restaurant itself feels tucked away and intimate, almost unexpected sitting inside an apartment complex in East Boulder, which somehow makes it feel even more special once you're inside. The food presentation was simple and understated, but the flavors were honestly remarkable. Every dish felt layered and thoughtful without trying too hard to impress visually. You could really taste the wood-fired element throughout the meal. One of the few places where the atmosphere, service, and food all felt equally memorable.

    Fantastic meal at Michelin rated Basta in Boulder, CO. The atmosphere was relaxing and warmly lit…read more About a dozen tables were arranged in between concrete floors, cream colored walls and subtle holiday decor. Some seating has views of the open kitchen and wood burning oven which cooks most of their food. The service was absolutely on point and left you wanting for nothing, which also adds a 22% gratuity to each check regardless of party size. It's what I would've paid anyway for such great service, so no complaints there. We shared an order of burrata, some pizza and dessert. Everything was epic and the pizza was almost exactly as you'd find it in the greatest of Neapolitan pizzerias in Italy! The dessert was laughably small, but tasty. All in all a fun experience and a place I'd definitely eat at again. If in Boulder, consider making a reservation at this place!
