Gelato is a Italian style ice cream. My family comes here to celebrate special milestones such as…read moreend of school, any achievement or when the kids need a little cheer from a horrible day they had from a fall or something they couldn't get although tried very hard. We're often here for spontaneous get together with friends and definitely each time is memorable for us. It's definitely a great place for conversation whether sitting indoors or outside. I love this place. No matter how many ice cream shops we try anywhere we go but we always end up coming back here. You know we're loyal to this place. It's not only the flavors, the vibe, customer service and most importantly it's not expensive. I will secretly say, it's the amazing gelato. And my kids love sampling their flavors each time. Lucky to have them in our local area.

Wanted something sweet and Cia di Gelateria sounded perfect. We walked in and it wasn't busy. We…read morewere warmly greeted and browsing some of the flavors. We noticed the mango and they said the mango paired well with their sticky rice. I had to pause. Sticky rice gelato?? I was definitely sold! So obviously we had to get the mango sorbet and sticky rice. We also got the mango and lemon meringue. Each cup came with a mini cone or a wafer and we picked a cone. The sticky rice and mango sorbet were like heaven. Literally heaven. I'm never in Folsom but I will need to come back for this flavor. The idea of making sticky rice into gelato was genius but then combining with mango was just next level. I will be dreaming of this flavor. We were enjoying it so much I never got to take pictures. That's when I know something is good. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. They were lots of regulars coming in and out. The store is also adorably decorated and clean. There's a good amount of seating inside. Again if we lived near by we would be here all the time!

Although, I didn't check the time and saw that they were closing at six so I called around 545 and asked if they're able to stay in later so I can pay for my drink and I can order on the phone and the person on the phone with me said ' yeah I can stay back till 6:15' . AsI rushed over here, my time went up due to traffic and I let her know that and she said that 'as long as I get in before 6:20 it's gonna be ok' thankfully I got here at 6:18 and as soon as I got in, she handed me my drink, and as I paid for it, she offered me a custard on the house, and I happily took the custard. I told her that I was going to see a movie and that I needed something to drink before I saw the movie and she understood and listen to me as I was talking. Definitely would recommend going here! People are very accommodating to a situation, and like I said, they never disappointed with their drinks and I can't wait to try custard pastry!

T&5 has grab and go pastries, variety of drinks, cakes & even dim sum now! They have good deals for lunch specials. My favorite item they have is their cloud cakes!! They are in the fridge where you can grab a small container. They have different flavors depending on the day. My favorite is the honey yogurt. It's so light and fluffy! Not to sweet either. I also really enjoy their baked bbq pork buns.

It's so nice and refreshing, especially for a summer's day! The service is so fast. I ordered my drink and it didn't take even 10 minutes for me to receive my order. And that, served with a smile to top it off! The shop is nicely decorated. Very easy on the eyes. And there is enough light inside the shop that allows yoou to see the menu board without having to squint. All of that at a price that is really affordable for the quality of the drink. My last visit made fans of my family as well. I guess we be seeing a little bit more of this place from now on...

The space itself is great: big, open, bright, and with high ceilings that make it feel comfortable instead of cramped. I was especially excited to see a matcha latte menu, so of course I had to try it. I ordered the matcha crème brûlée with oat milk (they do charge $0.95 for that), light ice, and paired it with a Hot Cheeto cheese dog and a side of ranch. The matcha only comes in a 16oz. The matcha really impressed me. The color was dark and the flavor was nicely bitter, which I loved because it actually tasted like matcha instead of being drowned out by sugar or milk. The crème brûlée topping had a legit crisp to it and added just the right amount of creaminess without overpowering the drink. Super balanced and really satisfying. And the Hot Cheeto cheese dog? So good!Crunchy, cheesy, and that classic corndog flavor with ranch on the side was a perfect combo. Everything hit the spot, and I'll definitely be back especially for the matcha. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the area!

I appreciated that they have latosse options. In addition to the sweet drinks and treats, they also have savory options. The vibe was great. They have great decor, cute music, great lighting, etc. They even have cute stickers for sale and a toy crane machine game. When you first come in there's the register and menu right away. Staff was also helpful with the menu. They seemed sweet and friendly too. If you read the bad reviews, I'd keep in mind that they're 3+ years old. Everyone has different experiences and for me, it was great. The only problem will be is not to come too much. There's so much to try.

We drop by Handel's ice cream every once a while, but our last visit was for Father's day as I told…read moremy husband I would treat him to any ice cream he wanted, and he picked Handel's. When we arrived, the line was long. It was all the way to the street but we figured, whelp we have nothing going on, might as well join the party! To our surprise, the line moved fast, it did give us enough time to debate what we wanted. I opted for the Salty Caramel Truffle waffle scoop, while my husband opted for 4 favor sampler with Banana cream pie, Pistachio, Monkey Business and Sticky fingers. We liked all of them, but we definiely agree the ice ceam flavors are heavier here, likely taliored to a younger audience. As I get older, I find myself opting for simple flavors like Stracciatella instead of my old favorite of chocolate brownie. So while I enjoyed my Salty Caramel Truffle, the saltyness and the generous amount of caramel truffles were a bit too much for me. The portion was very generous and that didn't help the overwhelming flavor bomb. My husband mentioned that he enjoyed the banana cream pie and pistachio flavors more than the more complicated ones. Overall, we like Handel's and always appreciate the various options and the friendly service. Next time we plan to share a four scoop sample and opt for simple flavors.

They are serving some small bites to taste at the cashier and the flavors are not your usual. Can you imagine a limoncello flavored chocolate?! I tried it and it was delicious! Deep chocolate flavor with the hint of tangy that is just well balanced. The service is excellent! The staff are very friendly and will gladly accommodate requests and make recommendations based on your preference. It's a nice little shop with cozy sitting areas. My friend I went there during Christmas season and the decorations will make you want to sip hot chocolate and just enjoy the sweet moment. I ordered the hot mocha, which normally I wouldn't order because most places just serve it like sweet coffee that has an overpowering chocolate taste but not at The Chocolate Architect. Their hot mocha is legit mix of espresso and cocoa, the good quality cocoa. I highly recommend this place!

Youngest son ordered the dirty boba and my oldest ordered cookies and cream milk tea and he said it was pretty good! Atmosphere was inviting and clean. Simple decor.

They had run out of regular boba when I visited, but I gave their agar boba a try and ended up loving it just as much for its light, refreshing texture. To top it off, the Oreo dessert was perfectly moist and balanced, not too heavy, and the kind of treat you keep thinking about after you leave. Definitely a spot I'd recommend to anyone looking for a satisfying drink and a great little dessert to go with it.
