My family had stopped up the street for breakfast and coffee. They didn't have any lactose free options so my little girl and I took a walk and decided to go into gelato Junction! Best treat ever! Their coffee was exactly what I needed I ordered a Carmel coconut hot latte with oat milk. They had baked goods and since we were in town celebrating my little boys I was curious if they had GF options and they did!! When I tell you those chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing was AMAZING I not joking also very reasonably priced. I truly believe this little shop has a sweet treat for anyone. read more

Gelato Junction - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Delicious gelato on Main St. Easy to walk to after our dinner at The Goat. So many flavors to choose from, not just gelatos, but also ice creams. The ladies working there were speedy and knowledgeable with their recommendations. The parlor was spacious and clean. Definitely will be back again when we're in town. Such a cute little spot with delicious desserts! read more

Such a great local place! Gelato is always good with so many unique flavors. And the food! Their bbq is great! Best pork sandwich in town by far. We always appreciate how friendly the staff is every time we go in. Would highly recommend for a treat or a lunch! read more

My son, my mom, and I went to Junction Gelato today and my son was very sad that the whole kids section has been taken out. It was such a good idea to keep the kids busy. Perhaps the new owners could add back a few items. Getting ice cream is the perfect family outing. Just today alone we saw quite a few kids. Just my opinion of course! Also, maybe there can be more gelato flavors than ice cream flavors since it's called Gelato Junction. I will say though, the almond Gelato was devine, the staff was wonderful and it's very affordable. read more

Best ice cream in town! My dad got the vanilla. I got a double scoop with banana pudding and chocolate turtle ice cream. The waffle cones are huge and tasty! read more

Just driving through Grand Junction for the first time. I found the gelato flavor I taste tested a little strong and/or unusual. I am 77 years of age, so we both have a great deal of experience to call on, but also some traditional and settled preferences. We settled on chocolate ice cream choices. We found the ice cream to be the highest quality, but the chocolate flavors to be "just chocolate." The young women who served us were very helpful and respectful, providing great and friendly service. The establishment was clean and attractive. read more

What a wonderful find!!! Found this place by accident. I was standing in line trying to decide what to get, (too many choices.). The customer in front of me suggested an affogato. Not knowing what that was I asked for an explanation. Alchemy does work!!! Espresso & vanilla gelato, Oh my goodness!!! I savored outside while enjoying the beautiful fall evening. read more

After my family and I worked up a sweat from doing an escape room down the street and shopping, we wanted something to cool us down and satisfy our sweet tooth. I ordered the single scoop but split it and had two half scoops. Half was yellow cake ice cream and the offer was strawberry cheesecake. Combined made for a delicious treat but the yellow cake was superb. The staff was a friendly, portions enormous and the cost justified the quality, taste and large scoops. The tables are perfect for enjoying your dessert while catching up with loved ones. Keep doing what you're doing, Gelato Junction! read more

The kids scoped this place out and adored all of the options they had to chose from. Emily ended up with a rose gelato cone, Xavier had an Irish mint that would wake you up with a kick! It was a delicious end to lunch and definitely a place we would recommend to any gelato lover. read more

Gelato Junction - These for the two who served a ice cream. They were great. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

When I saw that this place has vegan gelato, I knew we had to come try it while we were in town!! They unfortunately didn't have any of their vegan gelatos this day, BUT they did have a ton of other vegan options! They had an oat milk ice cream, and a whole row of sorbet! The staff were super nice when I asked about the vegan options as well, so thank you! I got some red orange & some Italian ice sorbet, and they were so good even my non vegan partner kept eating mine! Tasty stuff! read more

Gelato Junction - Red orange sorbet with some Italian ice underneath! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

A small ice cream shop in the heart of downtown Grand Junction. There is quite a bit of seats/tables for families and friends. Both ice cream and gelato are served here along with free samples. read more

I write this only to implore management to find a new gelato recipe. I'm sorry, but it was terrible. Icey, not smooth, tasteless; felt and tasted like a sugar free variety but it's not. We ordered 3 different flavors, all were the same (not good), even the caramel. How do you mess up a caramel?! Also, simplify your menu they offer a lot of food items, and even CBD (weird). You're all over the place. The person who helped us was nice, so there was that. read more

Really disappointing. Incredibly bizarre selection of flavors, and the one we did end up reluctantly selecting was gross. I would recommend returning to the classics and refining the recipe. read more

Such a cute little shop. The Ice cream/ gelatos were wonderful. I liked all the different flavors. They gave very large portions for the price so that was nice, but I happened to be super sugared up and so did my kids. The next time I go in I will be splitting and not getting a portion for myself. One of the things I really enjoyed about this place was the space. You had the shop portion up front and there were a few tables to enjoy your gelatos and it was totally like a traditional small Ice cream shop on any small town main strip. However, they have a very long shop and if you continue down the hall you will find a back area that had a section built up just for kids, with toys and a few tables. I loved this part because I was able to visit with my sister-in-law while my kids played and got their energy out without disturbing the other customers and we were able to enjoy our time and the kids were entertained while eating their ice cream. Great little shop! read more

Lots of different flavors of frozen deliciousness, friendly lady at the counter, and fantastic downtown people watching. Just go there, it's not going to suck. read more

Meh. Most of the flavors that were posted on the wall ni the store had sold out but hadn't been updated so we needed to make new selections on the fly. Ice cream was just ok. read more

The staff saw us outside 25 to 30 minutes before closing I demand that they suffer some kind of consequence. also I am never charged at This location again when I order. read more

Ok gelato served by a kid with attitude. Tried 2 flavors and neither was very good. Not worth going back. Go to supermarket and buy a quart of your favorite flavor. Underwhelmed. read more

Excellent gelato and ice cream. They offer free samples so you don't just get stuck with a flavor you dislike. And there are a lot of flavors to choose from, of both ice cream and gelato. I recommend you trying the more unusual flavors at least once! You'll be surprised how delicious those typically savory flavors are in gelato form! I like that there are the typical "safe" flavors or kid flavors for the less adventurous individuals or my kid, who shies away from those flavors that make her hesitate. They offer cups (different sizes) or cones. Friendly service, with seating inside and outside. While they offer coffees, sweets, even soups, and more...the ice cream and gelato are the reasons I come back. read more

Very good ice cream and a cute little place! Have cbd ice cream Jack Daniel's was the one I got and tasted just like it... wasn't into it for my ice cream but u might lol read more

Answering the most recent negative review: Thank you for the comment, Valerie. It is not an employee's fault that the website wasn't updated. I had checked google the day of and the times had been updated to our winter hours on there so I'm not sure why they weren't on the website. I was not sure what you wanted me to do. I said "the website must not have been updated because we change hours in the winter." And you kept repeating "your website said 6." As if there were something I could do about it. You asked if I could serve it because it's icecream. The first thing we do when we close is take the gelato out and stick it in a different freezer, while covering the icecream tubs. It would have been rock-solid and the scoops had already been washed and sanitized. Honestly you stunned me for a moment. I was dumbfounded that someone was THAT entitled that they would go to an employee of a small business and demand that they be served icecream in a closed shop because they were "supposed to be open for the next half hour." To each his own I suppose. We'd love to have you come during our business hours and hope to see you soon! read more

Gelato Junction - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

First stop in but loved it. Service was nice and friendly. Ice cream was delicious and so were the shakes. The pistachio ice cream has pineapple chunks which was interesting but not my fav. I had a whole scoop though, so I can say it's good despite the strange pineapple addition. The strawberry had a jam taste throughout- good but a bit too "fake" sugary for me. My brother loved the Jack Daniels' Chocolate, and I was very much intrigued by the wine sundae (maybe next time!). They also serve hot dogs and sandwiches for lunch. Downside- a bit expensive for a cone of ice cream. I guess it's competitive with the other local places, but it seems a bit much for multiple visits. I guess it needs to be more of a "special treat" place. I spent $16 (not including tip) on two shakes and an ice cream cone. That being said, the service was awesome and definitely earned a tip. Tip your ice cream servers, especially if they're knowledgable and nice like ours was today! In sum, good place. Would come again. read more

Gelato Junction - Pistachio and strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Ice cream, Gelato, chocolates and much more. I stopped in after eating lunch looking for a quick mobile dessert on the way back to work. I was overwhelmed by the choices. I walked in wanting chocolate ice cream and left with just that. I could have easily been swayed if I had more time to decide. They have 12 or so different flavors of Gelato. 16 or so different flavors of ice cream and tons of different toppings and sprinkles. If ice cream is not enough, they also have great looking chocolates to fix that sweet tooth. Great local sweets shop if you are visiting from out of town or are just in need. read more

the girl working behind the counter had a nasty attitude when i was ordering and definitely did not want me and my sister in there. while we were sitting down a woman was waiting at the counter for 5 minutes while the girl was sitting in the back on her phone. she should not be working here. the ice cream is always good and i love coming here but she made this experience very memorable and not in a good way read more

I want to like this place really bad, but 2/3 times they do not have vegan gelato that they advertise on their window. The first time I went, the girl was very nice and went to the back to grab the tub of vegan gelato but ever since then, no one can tell me if they have vegan gelato. I also get pointed to the sorbet. read more

We were surprised with unique flavors like Captain Crunch and Samoas. Fair prices for a sweet treat! We will definitely be back!

Unique Gelato offerings and traditional ice cream too. Friendly service, we sampled several times before choosing our gelato flavors. Old time atmosphere, clean indoor and outdoor seating. This place was busy the whole time we were here. read more

Went in on an impulse and thought I'd just get a little scoop. Ordered the small cup. It was huge, but somehow I endured. I enjoyed every single bit of it. Yum! So many flavors! Try them all! read more

I'm here from California on vacation and we stopped by to have some gelato. The girl was so nice and I asked what Ube was, since I never heard of it. And she told me it was a yam from the Philippines that tasted like buttered popcorn. So I decided to try it. OMGOSH. It's amazing. I have been telling everyone they have to try this place. Love it. read more

Gelato Junction - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Just ok. The gelato tastes more like a sorbet instead of gelato. The flavor was still good just not what was expected. There is some outdoor seating and dog friendly area read more

The employees are not wearing masks. This is a requirement by the state if you are serving food. All the ice cream containers are open and susceptible to being contaminated. read more

While they attempt interesting choices, it is all some sort if weak sauce almost flavors over vanilla. The so called Gelato is just over priced ice cream with bad mouth feel, large ice crystals in it and makes Dairy Queen seem like some sort of major flavor sensation. Only reason to go is if your kids drag you in there. read more

Hello amazing gelato! Huge portions! We saw this store front when trying to pick a place for lunch and knew we needed to visit before we left town! The staff is pretty friendly and definitely small town (if a local is in the store, be prepared to wait till their conversation is complete - not uncommon among a multitude of the businesses in the area) We tried a couple different flavors - i chose the coconut and the cafe - and received a gigantic 3 scoop - all stacked up - cup of yumminess! Definitely worth the stop and possible wait to get some great gelato! read more

Pretty decent ice cream and gelato shop. Last time I was here I had the Peach and "Chocolate Chip" Gelato in a split scoop for their small size. The portion was very generous, yay! Although, the consistency of both was a little off, which was kind of a bummer. On my visit before, the gelato I had was pretty spot on. I'm hoping for a fluke in that particular day's make, or maybe the laser heat rays were changing the consistancy before my vailed eyes... I don't know. I'll come back again to give them another shot. read more

Not sure what the negative reviews are all about, but I got a hefty bowl of ignore-your-loved-ones-until-its-finished gelato and my lactose intolerant brother got a 100% dairy free scoop that was so close in taste to it's fatty-delicious-dairy-filled counterpart that he almost placeboed himself into a stomach ache***. The gal working was gelato PhD status and gave me a streamlined run down that allowed me to once and for all wrap my head around the culinary difference between ice cream and gelato. I left feeling more gastronomically knowledgeable, with my taste buds singing, and a childish smile from ear to ear. Stay golden Gelato junction....stay golden... ***UPDATE: We confirmed that it was in fact dairy free...annnnd I am still losing sleep wondering what type of frozen dessert magic was responsible for creating such a divine taste with only fruit and water. read more

The gelato at Gelato Junction was good, but that is all that was good. The service was quite possibly the worst I have experienced in a long time. The young employee acted like it was inconvenient for us to be there, very unfriendly. Several other customers walked out while we were there. read more

If you are from out of the area, you might be surprised that the staff do not wear masks. Young person was serving. Mesa county businesses currently do not require masks, and this store clearly opts to felx its freedom and not protect customers. Kids liked the (take out) ice cream cones, but I could not get them out of there fast enough. read more

We were looking for some kind of pastry dessert after dinner and walked past this place. I'm so glad we went in. Their gelato is fantastic. They make it fresh there and use a lot of fresh local ingredients, like the palisade plum flavor I ended up going with. We were on a road trip at the time so odds are we won't be back there soon. I wish they were close to where we live! If you like gelato at all, I highly recommend this place. Update: We have gone back two more times now. Turns out we head this way more often than I expected. We still like it a lot. read more

Visiting Grand Junction for a few days and wanted to walk around town. Barely made it in 10 minutes before close but she was still very cool. This is an excellent local spot to get some treats and then walk around Junction's cool downtown area! read more
