    Love this place...gelato or bust! Now Paciugo Gelato Caffe is a staple for every time I visit San Antonio, TX. It is my indulgence, my happy place, my I do not care if someone is watching. In January, I will do the Daniel fast, so I am being totally calorie free in December. It is really hard to describe how delicious this gelato tastes. I chose the black cherry swirl...again! The black cherry flavor is so fragrant without being eye-squinting sweet. The gelato is dense yet smooth. You will be totally satisfied even with the smaller sized cups. Every time I visit, I threatened to try the coffee and then at the end of the day, I woos out. Paciugo also has Dubai chocolates, cookies and coffee. Service is always excellent. The server always takes time to provide you samples, so you are exactly sure of what you want to purchase. When you are being served, it feels like you are the only one in the room. You may purchase pints of gelato to go. They also provide catering This gelato comes closet to the gelato I tasted in Italy. Yum to the nth degree!!!

    Unfortunately I live across the street from this place! I'm in big trouble Home made, smooth, tasty, lots of flavors and choices for non dairy too Eat inside or outside with tables and comfy sofa Drinks galore and good coffee Treats for your fur baby too Take home goodies Staff friendly

    I'm so happy I found this place on the Riverwalk. It is a little bit hidden and it is upstairs so you have to keep your eyes peeled for this location. I wasn't expecting too much since it is in a very touristy area but the gelato, to my surprise, is very smooth and very creamy. I would have given it five stars but I wish it had more unique flavors. The only one that really resonated with me was the taro. Everything else was a generic base flavor but still done well.

    It's been years since I've been to Paciugo. Last time I went was the original location on the other side of Basse Rd, not at The Quarry. Where have I been??! Why haven't I been paying attention to my GPS, LOL??!!! All this time it was down the street from Trader Joe's. Shoots!! So my friend and I had just finished eating salads at Sweetgreen and were walking around the area. I saw Paciugo across the street!! We decided to go instead of getting Iced Matchas. What caught our eyes were the Taro Root(purple) so we asked for a sample. It seemed nutty to me so both of us ordered it. My friend asked if they had Pistachio which they typically have at Gelato places but they were out today. I got a Piccolo size with 3 flavors: Taro Root, Coffee and Mango Sorbet. My friend got the Taro Root and Salted Caramel which she noted was pretty sweet for her. We got good sized portions for the smallest size in a cup! There were a lot of seats available and even had huge Chocolate Chip cookies for sale. We sat outside as it was a nice, sunny afternoon. The Taro Root was nicely nutty IMO, the Coffee was smooth and not heavy at all and my Mango Sorbet was a good counterpoint of fresh fruit. I liked how it was a perfect size and didn't feel overly stuffed with the butterfat of regular ice cream. I'd like to try the Chocolate next time and hopefully they'll have Pistachio. Lots of fun, creative flavors and they even had a Spurs custom Gelato.

    Located at Riverwalk & delish! (Plenty of sorbet non dairy options available ) . Loved the doggie treat fridge , so cute. Espresso drink hit the spot .

    I always come here when I get a gelato craving and they never miss. I got a small gelato ($6) from Paciugo with butter pecan, sea salt caramel, and speculoos cookie butter and this combination of flavors is my holy grail. I would give 10/10 to each flavor, and it's the perfect size for sharing with a friend

    Why 5 stars? Because the ice gelato itch was perfectly scratched. --- --- --- My wife found this place while we were eating dinner nearby and I didn't need much convincing. The name sounded so familiar, but I couldn't quite put my finger on where I knew it from. We arrived and the plaza that this is in reminded us very much of Market Street in The Woodlands. And that's when it hit me, I'd been to a Paciugo in Downtown St. Pete, which was another area that looked so similar to this one: lots of higher end shops and stores and very walkable. So we went inside. I sampled a couple things: one being salted caramel. I was wholly unimpressed with it, so I opted for a scoop of cookie butter and a scoop of coconut, which both hit the spot. After we're done, I go look up my review of the Downtown St. Pete location. 2-stars?! Why?? Oh, I had salted caramel and wasn't impressed. So what we've learned here today is that it doesn't matter what city it's in or what decade you visit - if you go to Paciugo, stay away from the salted caramel (way too bland), and you will enjoy your experience!

    I've been coming to Paciugo whenever it was at the Lincoln Heights location. Always fresh ingredients. Everything is amazing! Some of My all time favorite flavors; Pistachio, butter pecan, wedding cake, banana pudding. When I'm in the mood for coffee I get a affogato & boyyyy it is CHAMP!!

    I've been wanting to try Paciugo for awhile now and finally had the opportunity on Valentines Day! The store was sooo clean and the vibes were vibin. Staff was immediately attentive and kind. My hubby and I both sampled several flavors (all tasted absolutely phenomenal) but both decided on salted caramel in a cone. If you're a salted caramel addict like me then this will satisfy every craving you have. They have soooo many gelato options it's insane. I may have to go back and try every single one. I know my kids would love it here and will absolutely bring them! They have a spaghetti gelato creation that looks so creative and delicious - it's definitely next on our want to try list!

    2025 Update: This place is going strong! Try the bubble waffle! The biscoff flavor is a new fav. Lots of dairy free options too! Update: try the afogato flight! You'll receive 3 hot drinks (espresso, hot chocolate, or matcha) and a gelato flavor for each! It's a tastebud delight...literally heaven in your mouth! So many choices you'll wanna visit every day! First time here and definitely not the last! Macaroon ice cream sandwiches and gelato truffles greet you when you first walk in. There are at least 30 gelato flavors with at least 8 dairy free flavors, and sugar free/fat free options available as well. Taro root was my absolute favorite! Although there was a line the staff advised us to choose as many samples to pick from! They were constantly smiling and offering flavor combos and cups, toppings, you name it. Honestly the best customer service I've had in a long time. I ordered the bubble waffle in a bowl (also available in a cone style wrap) with taro and pistachio gelatos. Perfect for an afternoon pick me up or dessert date. They offer multiple drink options including house made coffee, waters, sparkling sober beverages. Will be coming here soon...maybe even tomorrow!!

I would like to say everyone that works there is super nice and always welcoming and greeting you as you first walk in. They are open Monday-Friday from 7:00 am - 2:00 pm and Saturday-Sunday from 7:00 am - 3:00 pm. They always have freshly squeezed orange juice, and their biscuits are always made from scratch. I would like to give a shout out to the workers for keeping their cool and being so polite even on a busy weekend. Our food was delicious hot and very well prepared. My kids go crazy for the sweet grace waffles. Please be patient with the servers and cooks they really do put a lot of hard work to getting everyone's food out. The coffee bar is amazing ! And everything on the menu looks so good! The vibe here is so cozy and inviting the ambiance is great. I really do enjoy coming here with my kids to have a brunch date. And when I have a girls day I recommend trying their mimosa pitchers ! They have 3 different types of mimosas classic, sunrise, and berry fields Shout out to Mariah the general manager , Regan and Tori the best service I've ever had thank you for such an awesome experience. I definitely will be coming back.
