We waited about 20 minutes to get inside, but once we reached the counter, the ordering process was quick and efficient. The shop itself is pretty small, but there's outdoor seating if you want to enjoy your ice cream nearby. They had so many unique flavors that it was hard to choose! I ended up getting the Kids Cookie Dough, and it did not disappoint. It was perfectly sweet and absolutely packed with cookie dough pieces, every bite had some. My husband ordered the Apple Pie flavor, and it was just as delicious. The balance of cinnamon and apple was spot on without either flavor overpowering the other. Now we understand why there's always a line. If we're back in the Monterey area, we'll definitely be stopping by again!

The baby cup size is honestly the best option, it looks small, but trust me, it's the perfect amount to enjoy without any guilt. Of course, I had to try the famous bee flavor, and it did not disappoint, those tiny honey bits scattered throughout make it extra special. I also tried the chocolate, but it was fine, nothing that stood out compared to the bee flavor. Perfect way to end a meal!

Comparing to the cafes on the Ocean Ave., this one is not that busy and has seats for guests to rest a bit. We had two cups of tea - cannot go wrong. But like the atmosphere.

The coffee was alright. It was not quite strong enough for a latte, tasting quite watered down. I opted for the oat milk and I could tell it was not high quality by the flavor. I did appreciate how clean and quaint the cafe was. They had local artwork in the front and the artist's shop was two doors down, which was spectacularly charming.

While they don't have a ton of flavors to choose from, they do have a good variety of traditional and slightly more fun/unique flavors. On my most recent visit I tried a few and really loved the biscoff cookie. I was glad you could get two flavors in the uno size, and that's what I did. I went with the biscoff cookie and stracciatella. My boyfriend got the biscoff cookie and amaretto almond, which was an even better combo in my opinion. They have seating inside and a parklet outside, or you can take it and stroll downtown.

If I were to pick nits, it would be nice to have a bit more seating options inside, but the space is the space and there's not really anything they could do to make that possible. We enjoyed our mix of mud pie and oreogasmic quite a lot, but then I've never had a bad ice cream here. If you're looking for ice cream in Los Gatos, this should really be your destination, you won't be disappointed.

The staff we interacted with were friendly & welcoming. We were nicely greeted by multiple workers. We were also proactively offered assistance & samples of gelato. Every flavor we sampled was incredibly tasty! We ordered a small sized cup of Mixed Berries & a regular sized cup of Coffee Temptation & Chocoviar. The staffer who scooped our order meticulously shaped our gelato into generously portioned mounds & wiped the cup sides clean. They also came with a perfectly tempered dark chocolate piece placed in the top! She didn't rush providing quality though there was a small line. The gelatos were absolutely delicious, so deep & rich in flavor, & wonderfully creamy. We loved our treats! It's a memorable gelato experience because it's so amazingly good!

We got the hot fudge brownie sundae, which was absolutely delicious. It had a warm brownie with great classic ice cream, and the whole thing was very chocolatey and satisfying.

The dessert served here tasted more like ice cream than gelato, albeit smoother. I made the mistake of ordering a flight - it's quite a bit! That the scoops were generous is a huge plus, but make sure to bring some friends to share with! I had their pistachio, matcha, ube, and maple pecan, struggling to even finish a quarter after dinner. Unfortunately, most had melted within a 10-15 minute walk back to the hotel.

What a surprise finding a Gelato shop owned by a friendly French owner in HMB. Jean-Paul Gulino…read morespent vacation in Italy and was such a fan of Gelatos he went to a culinary school and specialized in Gelato in Bologna, Italy and trained with a french pastry Chef to learn the craft. It's crazy to open a gelato shop somewhere so cold and gloomy and its a testament to how good their gelato is. Parking is in the DT area of HMB so it can be challenging to get a spot. There is plenty of seating outside and the interior has a bright orange wall that has the colors also carry over to the chairs that are outside. Inside is small but ifs perfect for getting your gelato and then moving outside to eat. Vanilla Bean: Much more deep in vanilla flavor than grovery store ice cream. Nice texture and color, my wife and I enjoyed this one. Stracciatella: A variety of gelato with fine strands of drizzled chocolate stirred throughout. Great eye appeal and flavor, good quality chocolate was used.

Notably, they don't offer samples here, which I don't really see at other shops. Signage states to ask the staff for suggestions. That was a big bummer as there were a few flavors I was considering & I wish I could have made an informed decision. The 2 staffers I interacted with were friendly & quick. They also maintained the cleanliness. When I ordered, I was immediately asked about any allergies. I decided to order Speculoos & Creme Brulee, hoping they would be good. I chose well! They were creamy, smooth, yummy, & not too sweet. It was a delicious treat & I left satisfied.

"Creamy Gelato -- A Hidden Gem (If You Can Find Parking!)"…read more Food (4.5 / 5): Stopped by this spot on a Saturday afternoon -- it wasn't busy at all, but parking can be a bit tricky since the lot is shared with other restaurants and stores. I ordered the Apple Pie and Strawberry Fresca, and both were excellent in their own way. The Strawberry Fresca was super refreshing -- fruity and almost like it's mixed with soda, and still creamy at the same time. A really nice balance that makes it perfect for a warm day. The Apple Pie leans more on the creamy and sweet side. The graham cracker pieces add a unique texture and soak up the gelato's richness really well, making each bite more satisfying and honestly kind of addictive. Service (5 / 5): Service was quick and smooth. Shoutout to the employee Lucial (hopefully I got the name right!) -- super friendly, helpful, and made the experience even better. Ambience / Décor: It's a small café-style shop with a few tables inside if you want to sit and enjoy your dessert. We ended up taking ours to-go and enjoyed it in the car, but the space itself felt clean and cozy. Overall: Great gelato, plenty of flavors, and friendly service make this place worth a visit. Parking might take a minute, but once you get your hands on the gelato, it's totally worth it. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors.

I was there! Gelato Classico @ Mowry East Shopping Center…read more I have been to 5-6 gelato places, and this is the only place that jams two scoops into a little cup until it's flat. Looking at the other photos, it appears to be a standard practice. Presentation is important. Customers want value for their money. So being skimpy on the gelato isn't a good thing. (Serving Size: 2/5). Customer service was great. I asked for 2 scoops in a cup for $7, chocolate and cappuccino chip. I told the chatty clerk it was my first time here, and she offered me a free sample. The gelato was good and creamy. Wafers and chocolate drizzle cost extra. Customer service: (4/5). The shop looks dark from the outside. The lights were low, and the AC was on. They have a few tables inside. Only 1 of the 2 gelato cases were was stocked. Ambiance: (3/5). Would I return? Maybe. There's two frozen yogurt shops nearby that will probably get my business. Free parking
