    Haven't been back in a month and I was missing it.. same great taste, I really hope they stay open in the winter because I don't know if I can go too long without my favs.. Raspberry Lemonade, cherry pineapple and passionfruit!!!! Just go get some you won't be disappointed!!

    I forgot the flavor but it was .

    I was in the area and wanted something sweet and saw this place. I've never been big on Italian ice, maybe because I don't eat it often but I ordered two scoops and it was AMAZING! The server was very helpful and answered all of the questions that I had. Will definitely be back because they have so many other flavors.

    Best Italian ice's on the southside! Coming from New York and having the Coco Delicioso icees this is the closest thing to it! They have so many flavors to choose from and are reasonably priced. They also offer both dairy and non dairy ice cream options. This is a drive up window service, pull up order and enjoy your treat in the parking lot. Definitely a great option for something cold refreshing and sweet. And best of all it's a black owned business so pull up and support!

    Italian ice and ice cream is always great! Service is always fast and great. Really wish they had outdoor seating but over all it's convenient.

    On these hot Atlanta days Rio's Italian Ice is a great refreshing dessert. The customer service was great and there were so many flavors that it was hard to choose which ones I wanted to try. They are open from 1-8pm on most days (weather permitting) and it is great to have them in the neighborhood. I will definitely be going back to try more flavors.

    This is the $7 portion it is 16 oz of goodness!! Three FULL scoops!!! I got Piña Coloda, strawberry/mango, and strawberry. It was delicious, smooth, and enjoyable! I'd definitely be back again

    I love the variety of flavors that are offered, and it's always fresh. My faves are the lemon and their cherry flavors.

    This place is really good. I've had Italian ice and ice cream and enjoyed both. One of the best Italian ice places I've been to in ATL.

    Lemon was the perfect amount of sour/sweet and watermelon was subtly sweet.

    I've been to the Duluth location but not this one, which is weird because this place is closer to…read moreme. I guess I must've written it off due to the parking situation, and I honestly would've never visited, but a friend suggested coming here, so here I am. It's very, very limited parking. I'm not sure if we're *allowed* to park in the nearby parking lots, and I didn't have to, but if there's only like 6 spaces with barely enough space for cars to pass through entering and exiting... idk, it's not for me, esp when Doraville can get v traffick-y and the turn lanes are just waiting. Interior wise, it's cute. It tries to invoke a sense of Japanese aesthetic with the shoji panels, all the wood and light, the fake flowers, and I don't hate it. It's a fine place to sit and chat, though I feel bad for others who want to visit because again, the parking here sucks. I got their black sesame latte float with a matcha and sakura (seasonal flavor) swirl. The sakura was sweeter than anticipated and not floral, which was a bit disappointing since I didn't like it alone or mixing with the matcha flavor. The black sesame portion was fine. I like the nuttiness of black sesame in general, and I would've loved if they used more for a stronger flavor. The flavor was subtle, and with the ice and soft serve on top, got easily diluted.

    Really great matcha soft serve! Not too sweet!…read more A little disappointed that the ube machine was out of order but I still enjoyed the matcha soft serve. We went pretty soon after they opened, so maybe they were still working out kinks with their machines as the 2 matcha soft serves we ordered were quite different. Both good, but not consistent at all. One was icier with stronger matcha flavor and was much darker in color. The other was smoother, creamier, less matchey, and lighter in color. I preferred the darker one with the stronger matcha flavor a tad more. Overall, I would recommend. Good softseve either way!

    Very tight. It was probably cute when they opened but it felt a little muted/old to me.

    The First Level / First Floor is for the coffee, teas, drinks, desserts, pastries, sweets and/or…read moreshaved ice / ice cream. The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!
