All great. The challenge for me, though, and solely for me, is that my personal preference for certain flavors is only sporadically represented here. Kind of a good thing in that it forces me to try places around town. For calorie counting reasons, I don't have gelato or ice cream often. It is so nice to have this venue so close to where we live when the craving occurs.

My favorite was the goat cheese and blueberries. There was a bunch of crushed blueberries, and the goat cheese complemented the fruitiness. The Dolce Neve has lemon in it, and the bright zestiness went well with the vanilla base. The flavors were sweet but not too overwhelmingly sweet, which I prefer. The gelato was creamy and soft. The small comes with two flavors, and although it looks small, they pile it up high with gelato! The staff was friendly and allowed us to sample the flavors and also answered any questions we had. The gelato is made in house. Would definitely come back to try their different and changing flavors!

She experiments with different flavors, cultural flairs, and combinations. The location has seating inside for about 10 people and outside patio tables with chairs for another 10 people. Free parking right in front is always a bonus. See you there!

Allowed me to try multi flavors. Shared with me about the speakeasy next door and there new menu and concept. The place is so cutsey, nicely decorated. The parking is limited to a few spots out front. I didn't check to see if there was parking lot in the back. The Gelato itself was fair, but did not blow me away with flavor. I got a Nuttella half scoop. I appreciate they had smaller sizes if you don't want to overindulge. I'm glad to have tried it, and may come back for the speakeasy. But will 'stick to the rivers and lakes" that I am use to for now.

Rocambolesc has great but pricey soft serve gelato…read more Trying to escape the Houston heat, I decided to drop by Rocambolesc because I had heard so many great things about their location in Spain. The chain is headed by a three Michelin star chef Jordi Roca who is believed by some to be one of the best pastry chefs in the world. While this is not necessarily pastry, I wanted to see what he would do with desserts. When you first step in, there is definitely a childlike whimsy to the decor of the place. They have plenty of seats inside as well as outside. I was hoping to see unique flavors, but I did like the few flavors they did sample. Beyond the soft serve gelato, they do have coffee and few prepackaged sweets to buy. When you order, you do get the soft serve gelato with unlimited toppings, which I wish I knew that so I could better select the combination. I did get mango passionfruit (4,5/5) which was super smooth and creamy with the right amount of tartness from the passionfruit and sweetness from mango. The fruits and nuts I got to add were a nice combination. My favorite was the nutella drizzle on top... smooth with little crunchy pieces. My only complaint was the price... While I did enjoy it, I am not sure it was worth the cost... The service was pretty friendly. Located in the Uptown Park plaza, there was parking readily available when I went on a weekday, but could vary depending on how the plaza gets. Overall, Rocambolesc offers great soft serve gelato with unlimited toppings but may be reserved for a special occassion.

I am a tough critic since I am from San Diego, home of the #1 Ice Cream shop in the Nation two years in a row. I walked in and the interior was very clean and clutter free behind the counter. The flavors were very plain w basic flavors. Nothing too exciting. I had a double of Pistachio and Coconut. The first thing I noticed was how small the scoops were!!! Tiny cup with tiny scoops. I did like the flavor of pistachio and it was packed with nuts. The coconut had very little flavor. It was so slight could barely taste the coconut. Disappointing. What I did notice was the soft creamy "stretchy" texture. This was truly unique but the flavors lacked. I am not sure if I would return myself, but for anyone who hasnt tried Booza, I do suggest you try it. Experience the texture and "stretchy" ice cream. The biggest issue is the price point! High price for the portion received!

They have lots of unique flavors I haven't seen anywhere else, such as goat cheese with sage oil and sea salt, and my personal favorite, SWEET CORN WITH RICOTTA! Be sure to sample it if it's in rotation, it tastes just like movie theater popcorn! The workers are very patient and accommodating, I probably asked for a sample of every flavor that was available! There's not too much seating, definitely more of a grab and go unless you have less than 6-7 people in your group! Note to the owner: If you see this, PLEASE put pandan, pandan coconut, or pandan matcha in rotation!

According to a sign in the store, the gelato is made in house, which is cool. There were lots of unique flavors and I should have taken a picture of the case, but alas I did not. They offered samples and Mark sampled the Lemon Pie (or a similar name) and loved it. He ordered two scoops - one lemon and one coffee. I tried both and WOW, the lemon was fantastic! I ordered one scoop of Tiramisu, which included alcohol. I almost passed on it because we don't drink, but I figured it couldn't be any stronger than 'near beer'. I'm glad I got the Tiramisu. It was delicious. I would never suspect there was alcohol in it. Because we would be heading home after, we decided to have a seat and eat it in the shop, which is very clean and cute. There are three two-seat tables in the shop (it's small), so be aware. There are a few tables out front. There's nothing not to like here. I want to try every flavor! It was absolutely delicious!
