    Great spot for a desert spot along 16th street! We stopped here after dinner while on a walk for the evening and enjoyed a tasty treat. Services was friendly and the gelato was tasty. It's exactly what you expect and makes for a great experience as you are walking down 16th street area, There are multiple flavors to choose from. Worth stoping by,. The place is counter service. There are a few tables outside too, but we were just fine taking it on the go.

    Small with Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch and peanut butter brownie

    I stopped in here with a friend after dinner and while there was a line, it moved quickly. I had a small with Chocolate hazelnut crunch and peanut butter brownie; a small is 2 scoops so you can pick two flavors. If you want just one scoop they have an extra small. I went with a cup instead of a cone because it was so hot out and I envisioned ice cream dripping all over, but the waffle comes looked good. Both flavors were excellent. There is a fair amount of seating on benches in the area; definitely plan to eat outside as the place is pretty small and there isn't much room inside.

    Happened to see this place on the way back from lunch to our hotel in downtown Denver and we were just in the mood for something sweet. We went in on a late Friday afternoon and there was no wait and the tables were completely empty. Staff were very helpful and friendly and you are free to sample as much of the gelato as you like. They have a regular waffle or a churro waffle and I was recommended their churro waffle and it didn't disappoint. Added layer of cinnamon sweet goodness (as I got it warmed) that went great with our 2 scoops of gelato. I got the salty cookies and cream and gooey butter cake with caramel. The butter cake also has a bit of sea salt in it too, so this was the perfect balance of salty sweet for me. The salty cookies and cream is mad with their own version of Oreos and is their newer take on the classic flavor. Definitely lighter and not as sweet. I believe they have dairy free and other dietary options for their ice cream, as well as cookies and brownies too. Overall, pretty good place to get some gelato!

    It was super busy and crowded in there but we still had fast service. The gelato was fire - I had the salted caramel.

    Very small place, but perfect for a sweet treat. The ice cream was good, waffle cone was fresh. It was a perfect treat that we ate outside.

    Wednesday night around 4 PM wasn't busy at all Service was fast and friendly Nice relaxing little place The gelato itself has great flavor and great texture, it's not icy at all very creamy and has a slight stretchy texture Pistachio and vanilla poppy 11/10 for both flavors

    Limoncello sorbet & summer strawberry

    Unique place to get something nice and cool to beat the heat. They also have seasonal flavors

    Milk and cookies, salty cookies and cream

    We love how close this gelato spot was to our hotel in Downtown Denver! Gelato Boy was recommended to us, and the flavors were both classic and unique. Loved the creamy texture and chunks in the ice cream. Split small scoop was perfect night cap! Salty cookies n cream is an absolute must - not too salty and it's a fun twist on Oreo. The milk and cookies reminds me of the Ben & Jerry's flavors, with lots of cookies swirled in.

    My friends and I were in the mood for gelato while shopping, so we popped into gelato boy. I like that they offer a variety of flavors and dairy free flavors. They also let you sample. I had the small lemon poppyseed and strawberry. Even for being dairy free, they were pretty creamy and had a good mouth feel. There is limited seating inside. Clean tables. I appreciated that the AC was on because it was a hot day!

    Salty Cookies Cream & Milk and Cookies - unfortunately neither scoop offered much flavor or mix-ins
    Laura G.

    Disappointed in the lack of creaminess and flavor in both my scoops - salty cookies & cream and milk & cookies. Don't think I would have been able to say what the flavors were if I didn't know ahead of time. There was also an absence of cookie pieces. I ordered a cookie and brownie and were thankful that they warmed them up, but again, not much flavor. They also didn't seem freshly baked or homemade. I'd opt for another gelato/ice cream shop based off of this experience.

    I will never say no to a gelato/ice cream spot, especially during a hot weekend in Denver! I am a sorbet type person, so I loved they had a dairy free fruity option which was strawberry. I thought the flavor was very good and not as creamy as a typical ice cream, which I thought was exactly what I was looking for. If you're shopping around the 16th Street Mall area and looking for a sweet treat to cool down, I would recommend Gelato Boy.

    This is a cute gelato spot right on the strip of 16th street mall. The customer service was amazing. They were so friendly and answered all my questions. My nephews are the ones who actually for cones. I just taste tested two flavors the flavor I first tried was the hot honey biscuit and it literally tasted like Honey biscuit with a kick (spice) as well as some little things of actual biscuit in it as well. I liked it a lot it was creamy and all gelatos are in house made the next flavor I tried was gooey butter cake and caramel. This one was probably my favorite. It was definitely gooey and you tasted every bit of all the flavors. If I'm ever in the area I'll definitely be back to try whatever the new flavor of the week is.

    Tucked into the 16th street mall promenade. This place was open late on a Saturday night. I loved seeing that their gelatos were soaring up high and brightly colored. You know it's good when you see those silver tops!! I chose a chocolate crunch and pistachio mix. The crunch was delicious, but the pistachio a little lacking of the regular flavor I can taste with pistachio. The service was quick and straight to the point. I do wish the place was a little more lively in terms of ambiance. It was a bit too quiet and awkward as you ordered. Kinda wish there was some tunes to help out. All in all it wasn't bad for a late night joint.

    This was great gelato- particularly the pistachio flavor- but it seemed thick enough to be ice cream. Very delicious though!

They don't just make the ice cream taste like oatmeal raisin cookies; there are huge chunks of actual oatmeal raisin cookies mixed throughout, which made it even better. If you're an oatmeal raisin cookie fan like I am, this flavor is an absolute must-try!! I also tried the Salted Oreo. I normally love a salty-and-sweet combo, but this one leaned a little too salty for my personal taste. Still good, just not quite as much of a standout for me as the oatmeal raisin. Overall, definitely a spot worth checking out, and I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more flavors.

It always hits the spot and I never get tired of it. It has that classic neighborhood feel where there is usually a line outside, but it is always worth the wait. The Order: Salted Oreo & Price The Salted Oreo is my go-to because it has the perfect sweet and salty balance I love. If I'm not getting that, I'm getting the Lemon Custard. Both are incredible. For a double scoop in a cup, it cost about $8-$9. While they have great vegan and dairy-free options, the Salted Oreo I get is their traditional dairy version. Homemade: One of the reasons it tastes so good is that they make their own ice cream and cones right on-site! You can really taste the difference in the freshness of the scoops and the crunch of the waffle cones. Customer Service: Even when it's packed inside with people ready to order, the staff is very quick and efficient. The customer service is great, which is impressive considering how busy they usually are. Parking: A huge plus for this location is the free street parking, making it an easy and accessible stop compared to other busy areas. Overall Experience: I managed to time my last visit earlier in the day to beat the line, but even when it's busy, the quality is top-tier. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! It's a local gem that truly deserves more hype.

This tiny, adorable hole-in-the-wall shop is everything you want in a neighborhood ice cream spot -- warm, welcoming, unpretentious, and run by two of the most genuinely lovely women I've ever encountered in the food service industry. From the moment our group of six walked in, we felt like we'd been coming here for years. They were patient, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about every single thing they make. Now let me talk about the ICE CREAM, because wow. Six people, multiple flavors between us, and not one single complaint -- which if you know my family, is basically a miracle. Everything was rich, creamy, and tasted completely homemade in the best possible way. But the thing that absolutely sent me over the edge? BANANA PUDDING. Multiple banana pudding options. I grew up in the South and I have been low-key grieving the lack of banana pudding culture everywhere else I've lived, and here it is -- in Denver, Colorado -- done absolutely right. I may have embarrassed myself slightly. No regrets. This is a Black woman-owned business and these two have built something truly special. It's family-friendly, it's joyful, and it has that rare quality of feeling like a place that was made with real love. If you're anywhere near the museum, you would be genuinely doing yourself a disservice to walk past this place. Go in. Get the banana pudding. Thank me later.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
