First of all, I go the warmest welcome from the Barista. She was so welcoming. I got a Chai Latte and the Almond Ricotta Cake, both were incredibly delicious. I cannot recommend the Almond Ricotta Cake enough, I even got one to-go. The food looks incredible, and I'll definitely have to go back for breakfast or lunch. It was crowded when I went in the afternoon and I asked the Barista the best time to come and she said before 11 especially on weekends. I got a seat at the counter which overlooks the park which was really lovely. This place attracts such a diverse crowd which I also really love. Volume is moderate which means it is great for doing work, reading, or catching up with a friend. I will definitely go back and give an updated review after I try the food. They also do specials!

The actual doughnut base for all of these were ideal and had a nice balance with the toppings and fillings. Tres Leches - This was dipped in a vanilla bean glaze and soaked in triple milk cream with whipped cream and a cherry. This was tasty. I could not really tell it was three milks, but it was very moist and the cream was fulfilling. Lemon Raspberry Jam - This was a brioche doughnut with raspberry jam and was coated with a tart lemon glaze. This was solid. There was a ton of raspberry jam, and it was flavorful. I actually wanted more from the lemon glaze. The raspberry overpowered it just a little bit. Strawberry Shortcake - This tasted exactly like the frozen treat. I liked the crumbles on top, and it brought me back to eating the frozen treats back in the day. Chocolate Peanut Butter - This was my favorite one. There was a ton of peanut butter filling. It was not like most peanut butter filled doughnuts I had. I could not tell exactly what it was, but it was very good. The chocolate icing just nicely paired with that filling.

Always good service, very clean and most importantly delicious.

This has nothing to do with the treat and everything to do with the service…read more This past weekend my wife and I went to Lets Yo. I had received a $5 birthday promo and was excited to use it since it had been a while since our last visit. We originally planned to go earlier in the week but got busy, so we ended up going on Saturday despite the terrible weather. We picked our flavors and toppings and headed to checkout. I entered my phone number but the promo didn't show up. After checking my phone, I realized it had just expired. I asked the attendant if, since it was for my birthday, they could honor it. She went to ask the manager. The manager came over and I explained the situation. She said no, her reasoning? "If I do it for you, I have to do it for everyone." That didn't sit right with me. How many people are really coming in every day asking to honor an expired birthday promo? For a small oversight, I'd have to wait another year to use it? It made me feel like my business didn't matter. We're talking about $5, not a free treat. I work in the financial/service industry, so I pay close attention to customer experience. This interaction said a lot: the attendant likely didn't have the authority, but the manager had the opportunity to create a positive moment and chose not to. Moments like that are where you either create a loyal customer or lose one over something small. Safe to say, this wasn't handled well. I left more disappointed than anything. I don't see myself coming back in the near future.

We actually arrived an hour before opening, but the owner -- who was sitting outside with another person -- greeted us with a big smile and invited us in anyway. He asked where we were from and spoke passionately about crafting his flavors fresh every day, using real ingredients. You could tell he genuinely cares about the experience. He offered us a sample of a dragon fruit flavor he was experimenting with -- it was light, clean, and bursting with natural fruit flavor. No artificial aftertaste, just smooth, refreshing perfection. We ended up ordering the pistachio baklava, and it was hands-down one of the best gelatos we've ever had. The pistachio was rich, nutty, and full-bodied -- not that artificial green stuff you get in most places. The baklava pieces added just the right amount of texture and sweetness, without overpowering the balance. It was creamy without being too heavy, and every bite made you want to slow down and savor it. There was also plenty of parking, and we got to sit outside to enjoy our treat in peace. We never felt rushed -- just welcomed and appreciated. We were so caught up in the moment, we forgot to ask his name -- but his kindness and passion won't be forgotten. This place is a gem. If you're looking for authentic, thoughtfully made gelato, this is it. We'll definitely be back -- probably with friends. *Update: We went back to Bosa Gelato last night and loved the experience even more. The place was very active and spotless, even during the final hour before closing. We shared a cone with strawberry and mint chocolate -- both flavors were delicious! The mint had a refreshing cooling effect without any lingering aftertaste, and the strawberry was perfectly sweet without being overpowering. The two young ladies working were super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. It was lovely to see the shop so lively at night!
