    This little shop is located along 16 th street right across from the mall. There is metered street parking and commercial parking garages within a reasonable walking distance. The shop serves an assortment of exotic gelato that you can get in a cup, a la mode, or as a cookie sandwich. I opted to go with the cookie sandwich. They allow you to try samples of their ice cream using washable metal spoons. They have a couple of table/chairs in the dining area to eat. There is also a few chairs on the patio out front. I ate my treat on one of the benches along 16 th street. The staff there were very friendly. After getting a sample, I ordered a Hot Honey Biscuit ice cream cookie. It took a few minutes for the woman to prepare it. It was served in styrofoam container. It started of tasting really good. Then As I progressed through eating it, it just became average tasting and the cookie started to overwhelm the ice cream. It was odd. I think the cookie could have been better also. With that being said, I still would probably visit this place again. My frozen treat was not horrible and they have many other options for me to try.

    Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chunk (vegan)

    Kinda the highlight of my evening! Greeted immediately by the friendly staff. Menu clearly marked four dairy-free options. This shop restricts samples by a certain time in the evening (time unknown), but staff was nice enough to provide her recommendations. Small size can accommodate two flavors. So we ordered Mango Coconut and Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chunk. WOW! https://yelp.to/rRmcXx5imM The flavors rocked my world! These vegan options are made with a coconut base and the consistency has a bit of a stretchy texture. Perfect ratio of gelato to mixed-in ingredients (chocolate chunks, shredded coconut, bits of mango). I especially like that the chocolate chunks were chunky without being super hard to bite into. Small shop with about 3 tables. We were the only ones in there at 9:30pm on a Thursday. But then it became crowded just before we left. Absulutely a memorable sweet spot during our trip to Denver. I wonder if they ship to SoCal :)

    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

    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.

Places can be loud if lotos people are there but most seem to come for the ice cream and leave. We have to try their ice cream next time as it looked amazing. We got the Dubai Chocolate crepe (ofc we did :D) and forget about the $20 for a minute, this thing was really good. Not over the top sweet but bursting with flavors that kept true to what this desert is supposed to be. Living in America though, I do kinda wish it was sweeter since we're so used to extremely sweet desserts here. Definitely fixed my craving for dubai chocolate and then some. Will be back after a cheaper smaller meal so I can splurge on this instead.

I ordered the matcha strawberry, and the ice cream itself was really good creamy with a nicely balanced bitter matcha flavor, and the strawberry came through well. Definitely a tasty treat. Unfortunately, the customer service didn't match the quality of the ice cream. The employee helping me seemed like she was having a rough day and came across as rude. When I asked for a cone, she rolled her eyes and threw the cup down, which made me feel unwelcome. What stood out even more was the difference in how customers were treated. The group after me was offered samples and greeted more warmly, while I wasn't offered any and was simply asked, "what do you want?" The contrast in service made the experience feel uncomfortable. Overall, the ice cream was great, but the service left a bad impression.
