    Stopped in on a whim. Like 5 minutes before it closed.. (I'm sorry) They were very nice and helpful. Bought Some chocolate. Oh my goodness! This is some very tasty chocolates. Sea Salt Turtles. Yes please Chocolate covered Swedish fish... uhm more please. (Like who knew that was a thing?) Cute little place. Don't be like me, go earlier. But if you do wait, buy lots!! I will be back. Absolutely go here and get your chocolates!!!

    I stopped in to try out this gelato shop for the first time. The service was very good and friendly. The restaurant and bathrooms were extremely clean! We got a toddler size vanilla gelato with sprinkles, a strawberry gelato with pastel M&Ms, and pistachio gelato with toffee bits. I tried a bite of each one and they were all very flavorful and we would definitely come back.

    Walked in and the smell of chocolates and gelato ice cream filled the air!! Was greeted by the employee with a big smile. I tried the salted caramel and fell in love!! My husband and I had the big cups. We also purchased some Carmel chocolate balls and peanut brittle. I'm making this my favorite gelato ice cream shop! If you are ever down town Overland Park...I suggest you check out this business!

    Found this place randomly as we were looking for a dessert place after lunch. The store is pretty spacious with a good amount of seating indoor and some outdoor (part of Strang Hall). There is a bunch of prepackaged candy & chocolate, gourmet chocolate in a glass case, and gelato of course. Got to sample a few flavors, and all of them were delicious! I was in more of a fruity mood, so I chose the strawberry and grapefruit prosecco. The strawberry was fresh & creamy, and the grapefruit prosecco, which was more of a sorbet, was super refreshing, slightly tart, & also sweet. Would get these again! Other notable flavors would be the pistachio and birthday cake. Probably the best pistachio gelato I've had in a long time - I could actually taste the pistachio flavor, and the bits and pieces of pistachio were a nice crunch! The birthday cake had actual cake pieces in it which I loved. Also, service was fast and great. Excited to come back and try the other flavors!

    This was one of the ice cream/ gelato places in KC that I've been curious to try. I'd say it was sold based on several things,... - the girl behind the counter was very sweet and willing to be patient while I figured out what to order and tried the flavors. - If you don't want gelato then you can get other sweets such as chocolates - The gelato was smooth and yummy - location was great in old Overland Park I'm glad I tried but I'll probably won't be a repeat customer based on these things - 10 to 12 flavor options that seem to be permanent flavors without variations - The flavors were yummy but didn't stand out - Small selection of toppings to make the experience better - you could next door to competing establishments with the same or more options

    If you love gelato, this spot is a must-visit! Endless flavors, plenty of toppings, and rich, melt in your mouth chocolate The decor is charming hanging ice cream cone displays from the ceiling and colorful wall art make it a fun place to enjoy your treat They even sell cute souvenirs so you can take a piece of the experience home. Friendly vibes, great quality, and perfect for a sweet craving! لو تحبون الجيلاتو، هذا المكان لازم تجربونه! نكهات ما تنتهي، توبينغز لذيذة، وشوكولاتة تذوب في الفم ديكور المكان مميز مع مجسمات الآيس كريم المعلّقة بالسقف ورسومات الجدران المليانة ألوان وفيه تذكارات حلوة ترجعك لأجواء المكان كل ما تشوفها أجواء لطيفة، جودة عالية، ومكان مثالي لإرضاء رغبتك في الحلو

    I love this shop. They have only been open for a year. Right next to Strang Hall in downtown Overland Park. It's bright and cheerful. Seating area was clean and inviting. We came here after dinner for a little treat and saw that they had gelato. Upon entering the shop, we saw that they were stocked with special treats for Easter. The little Easter chocolate bunny was adorable. They have everything from little chocolate treats to bags of chocolate covered candies to Gelatos. My friend bought a bag of chocolate covered candies and we both ordered their medium size gelato to enjoy. The staff was very friendly. They also have seating outside when weather is nicer. Definitely will be back for more treats this summer.

    I loved the creamy, flavorful, made fresh daily gelato, the welcoming, friendly, helpful service and the great location (next to Strang Hall in downtown OP) at this new shop, which offers The Flying Cow gelato and Annedore's Fine Chocolates. Compared to ice cream, Italian gelato has less fat, less mixed in air and more flavor - nice! My medium gelato cup ($5.75) included two generous scoops of delicious gelato, which were packed full of flavor. Fifteen flavors were available including some unique flavors like birthday cake, key lime pie, dino & dirt, pistachio and gianduja (chocolate and hazelnut). The dining area was clean, nice and colorful with background music. I also noticed a large, spacious patio area shared with nearby Strang Hall, street parking and a nearby parking garage. Excellent!

    A summertime staple. You owe yourself a treat by getting out here and enjoy a dusky evening on the patio with gelato in-hand. I reviewed the first location of Flying Cow years back and loved it. The quality hasn't gone down at all, and I'm still in love with their grapefruit prosecco flavor. It's light, fruity, citrusy, and delicious without being have a crusty or icy texture the way sorbet has. If you aren't a fan of fruit flavors, I'd also recommend the salted caramel, which is flavorful without being too sweet or too heavy. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the mixed berry, which tastes like the berry smoothie from Costco but for double the price, or the coffee, which was weaker than I was hoping for (the coffee ice cream at Betty Rae's is absolutely perfect if you're looking for that). This Overland Park location is in north OP right next to Strang Hall and a variety of other restaurants, so it's an easy walk over from lunch or dinner. There's lots of seating both indoor and outdoor, the location is very cute, and the staff gives generous samples. Go get that gelato!

    Rich flavorful ice cream. A must try when you think you've tried all gelatos. You haven't tried the flying cow.

I got one kid size scoop for the two-year-old of cotton candy flavor. I got a medium cup for the older grandchild of bubblegum flavor. And I got a medium cup for myself that was a butter brickle type with some candy in it. We took our ice cream around the corner to the seating area. It was busy while we were there, but we found a seat. I thoroughly enjoyed my ice cream and the two year-old eat all of his cotton candy flavored ice cream. The six-year-old regretted the decision of the bubblegum ice cream. I decided to try hers and I agreed, it definitely tasted like bubblegum, but after several bites, I can see where it can make a person nauseous because it was two bubblegum flavored. It pretty much would be like eating a ton of bubblegum. I let her just throw it away because I didn't want her to get sick. Next time she said she would get cotton candy instead. It's a casual atmosphere with a fun signage about picking your ice cream personality. The only thing I would say to improve is the cleanliness of the dining room and the bathroom. But we would definitely try out any location because I think their ice cream is quality.

I love that they have a conscious and labeled menu- ranging from vegan to keto to gluten-free options. (Thanks for that!) The flavors have such fun names; Estes' fave name is Golddigger, since that sums up the freeloading life of a spoiled and very loved dog (that was also his dad's fave flavor ) What a great spot in Briarcliffe Village. We will definitely be back!

It was quite busy when we stopped in nevertheless the staff was very friendly and happy to let us sample flavors before ordering, which I appreciated. The one thing that really stood out was the price ... and not in a good way. We paid $16 for two scoops of ice cream, which felt pretty outrageous for what we got. I truly enjoy supporting local businesses, and I understand that rising costs and high rent can play a role, but it still didn't feel worth it. I didn't rate them too low based on that because they're doing a great job! If you're going for the atmosphere and experience, it could be a fun stop. But if you're thinking about value for money, it may come across as a bit underwhelming.

First things first: it can't be denied that over the past few years…read moreHigh Hopes has climbed its way to the top of the craft ice cream mountain here in Kansas City. This spot has a cult following and I'm embarrassed to say how long it took me to get over here to pick up a cone and see what it's all about. I am glad though, that I made the trek and I'm happy to say I've been back a few times since! First thing you'll notice about this spot is that it's a walk up counter, and there is something charming about that. There are a few tables outside on the sidewalk if you want to stay and enjoy your ice cream on the spot. The next thing you'll notice are all of the interesting flavors, my favorite so far has been the banana haze, but I have a feeling they all are good. On hot summer nights there will be a line here, but it's worth the wait and honestly what ice cream spot doesn't have a line in the summer? The folks working are always super nice and willing to answer any questions you have. You'll walk away with a really great sized scoop for the price and one of the best ice creams in KC.

I ordered the Campfire S'mores ice cream, and although it was rich and creamy, I didn't really get the nostalgic hit of graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow. I felt like I was eating a glorified vanilla. For the price and hype, I was expecting more. Would I go back? Maybe if friends wanted to go and try it. Edit: The owner of High Hopes wrote a response including the statement, "Yelp glorifies amateur critics, giving them a platform for disproportionate, often weaponized power to individual opinions over professional expertise." It sounds disrespectful toward Yelpers, as if the typical person or customer isn't allowed to say whether they like or dislike something. That is the entire point of this platform, and arguably, any customer review. The response from Jamie invalidates the individual's experience and alienates the customer. If this is the culture behind High Hopes, it does not feel inclusive to all. Therefore, I will not be going back. I will keep the review at 3 stars because I stand by my original review.
