    We tried the (dairy free) dark chocolate + cookie jar. Both were good, but didn't wow us. Seating is tight (4 seats by the window + a bench), Flavors are good/unique - especially if you are dairy free! Fair prices - we each got a small & felt like the portion was worth the price!!

    Whenever I'm craving something sweet, ice cream is my go-to. I've visited Gelato Boy twice recently because their dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free selection is top-tier. The Price: - Small Cone (2 scoops): $6.95 - Affogato: $8.50 - They also have "last batch" pints in the back freezer to take home! The Gelato: The Island Coconut is a must-try! It tastes like real coconut not fake and has actual shredded bits. I loved it in an Affogato last week and in a Sugar Cone today. If coconut isn't your thing, the Lemon Poppy dairy-free is another favorite of mine. Customer Service: The staff is always kind and full of great recommendations. They even pointed out the back freezer, where I spotted a Dairy-Free Irish Cream I'm eyeing for next time. Parking: You can find free street parking if you're lucky, or use the garage across from Cava (just double-check if it's free!). Overall Experience: I keep coming back for a reason. Whether you need a dairy-free fix or a caffeine-gelato combo, you can't go wrong here.

    I came to this location on the 9+CO shopping area just off Colorado Blvd. The nearby parking garage is still free and gets my car out of the sun. They still offer 9 flavors of gelato + 4 dairy free versions. Most are gluten free. I got a great Coffee Chip milkshake with 3 scoops and Oat Milk for $9.95 + tax. Very creamy. They served it with a fat straw. Clean floors and blond wood bench. They offer pup cups.

    Fantastic Ice Cream shop in the 9+CO area. If you know the area, parking is hit or miss depending on the time of day. Great ice cream with very inventive flavors. All of the flavors really shine through. The service is stellar and the place is clean. Not a ton of seating space, more like a bench across the back to sit and a few seats by the window. A bit on the pricier side but you can tell that they source quality ingredients.

    Great location! Can grab and walk around in a very cute neighborhood. The service was very knowledgeable. The gelato was amazing! But very expensive. I got: Lavender poppy seed - so good if you like lavender Gooey butter cake and caramel - hands down the winner. So good!

    Extremely unenthusiastic employees when I visited them.

    Nope, not for me. Even with the 50% off coupon I got via email, my visit to this location of Gelato Boy wasn't worth the time/money. I stepped into the store only to find that the store was manned by two young female and male workers who were extremely unenthusiastic. The young lady barely said hello (the other uttered no words). There was no effort whatsoever to help me with questions such as "Have you been here before?" or "Let us know if you have any questions", ; they did absolutely nothing where they kept staring at me until I picked what I would want to have. The young woman took my order where she transacted the purchase. The other male worker was the one who put the two flavors (of my choice) into the small size cup which he slid it so it would reach me where I was standing. And of course, he said no words. These youngsters had no customer service skills or whatsoever. I sat at the window to eat my ice cream. And I wasn't impressed with either of the flavors (although the Coffee Chip was a slightly better than the Salted Cookies + Cream.) Their gelato is mediocre at best. It's pretty clean inside however and yet if that is the only positive thing about this place then I WILL NOT RETURN ever again.

    This place is always a gem to visit! The staff is always super friendly and the gelato is always great! They let you try their new seasonal flavors, and the 2 scoop is the perfect size. They don't have any crazy decor, but the gelato speaks for itself. They have indoor seating, but there is a park right by where you can enjoy your ice cream too! I believe they also do flights if you have a friends that want to try a bunch of flavors! Definitely will continue to come here.

    Two scoops in a yummy waffle cone

    I'm such a fan of cute places and anytime you add gelato to the mix, I'm all in. We stopped by Gelato Boy on our way back to the car, after having a great lunch. You always have room for dessert, right? A couple of things I really loved about Gelato Boy - first, they use real tasting spoons and are helping to reduce the plastic waste that is never recycled and ends up in our landfills. Such a small change with a massive impact. KUDOS. While we're talking about said small spoons, I used many of these to taste several flavors. How nice is it to be able to sample new flavors, like I did, and then also choose some of your tried and true tastes? Thank you! I was feeling luxurious so had my two scoops in a waffle cone (not too crunchy and with a nice flavor). I choose tried and true, Milk and Cookies but I did taste and love their limited edition: Cornbread and Strawberry Jam (total winner)! And, just in case you're curious, Gelato Boy sources their milk locally and doesn't use growth hormones or antibiotics. Just like using real spoons, they care. Can't eat dairy? No worries, they have vegan offerings. And, they never use artificial flavors, preservatives, or off the shelf mixes. Ummm, YAY. And, head's up - you can get this gelato delivered to your door and you can find it in select grocery stores. Eek! I will be back and will likely bring some great flavors home when I'm grocery shopping next :)

    Lavender Poppy

    We were leaving 3 Margaritas Mexican restaurant for dinner and wanted something for dessert. Gelato boy was right next door. We were pleasantly surprised about all the flavors. I have been on a Lavendar kick since my visit to Denver. The young man provided me a sample of Lavendar poppy and I needed to not to try any other samples. I got the size smaller than the small, which was 1 flavor. That was just right for me. I think this lil nook shop probably gets over looked because of the busy street it's on. But if you happen to be on the block needing a sweet treat they will take care of you.

    Caramelized Tiramisu + Hazelnut Chocolate
    Azure G.

    Stumbled upon Gelato Boy by accident while walking to pick my dog up from daycare and boy howdy, what a lovely surprise on a gorgeous spring day! A lot of fun sounding flavors, but I'm a sucker for all things tiramisu and upon learning their caramelized Tiramisu flavor was going away soon (and that it was the employees favorite whom I spoke with), opted for that and a scoop of chocolate hazelnut in a waffle cone. Everything was delicious! Service was great and the spot was clean. Not a ton of seating and the price was a bit steep, which is the bigger reason why I can't hand out a 5 star review. Would totally come back though!

    I can try and find faults in this place, but they are not substantial enough to give it anything but a five for a rating. I keep finding myself coming here, so it seems to be some subconscious five regardless. The staff has always been incredibly energetic and welcoming whenever the wife and I go there. One time, I was mad at myself for not ordering the monthly special, and the staff person gave me a scoop on the house of it. I just had sensory overload when ordering. I had the cookie jar and their ridiculous flavor this last time. The ridiculous flavor is gooey butter cake and caramel, and that alone is a good reason to go. It is as good as it sounds. The flavors are creative, and there are two rotating flavors each month that are equally as creative. My two digs on the place are nit-picky. I wish they rotated in more flavors than two a month or more frequently, and I wish they had a really small portion, as their small is $6. I like getting tiny kid portions at other places. Another great thing they do, which I haven't seen anywhere else, is offer all of the dietary options with multiple flavor choices. Gluten free options, dairy free options, etc., all notated clearly on the menu. And you can't beat the neighborhood it is in, as Tennyson is a really awesome street to explore. Definitely recommend, and see you there...

    I came here for dessert after having Chinese food for dinner nearby... Service here was great, the young girl was very helpful and let me try a few flavors. They had several flavors that were very appetizing sounding, including their dark chocolate which is not made with dairy. I ultimately decided on strawberry and it was really good.

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.

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.
