    Always have a taste for Gelato and I think I found it. Service: Had excellent greeting when I came in and was told that I can sample all the flavors. (Big smile). Food: The Gelato speaks for itself. They had flavors that I never heard of and one flavor that is a Colombian favorite. They have bowls, waffle bowls, waffle cones, waffles top with Gelato. They also have a water base Gelato that is going to be really good for these summer days. Ambiance: They are just big enough to have a great Gelato to go or sit and just have some great Gelato. Overall: Definitely support this establishment and wish nothing but the best for them in future.

    This place is AMAZING all fresh ingredients and the owner is the kindest!!!! Great place super cute inside too! 10/10!!!!!

    We were enticed to try The Gelato Lab with a 4.7/5.0 Yelp rating. The Gelato Lab opened June 2025 is located in Round Rock, TX (suburb of Austin, TX) on AW Grimes Blvd. It is nestled in the Turtle Creek Market near Randall's. The Gelato Lab is more than a dessert destination... it is a handcrafted Italian experience right in the heart of Round Rock. It is a bit far from our house but about 8 minutes from our dinner location, so we decided to give it a whirl. In addition, their gelato is dairy free, which was another huge plus. They make all items in-house to promote freshness of ingredients. My husband had vanilla and I had cherrylicious gelato. So yummy...the gelato was smooth and flavorful and surprisingly a small cup contained a lot of gelato as it was dense. They serve a flavor with Dubai chocolate, which I sampled. It was quite good, however, you could only buy the Dubai chocolate gelato separately. They have traditional flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry contrasted with unique flavors like passionfruit, mango, and coconut. They also serve Belgian waffles...one to try in the future. There was one server with a bit of a line. She took everything in stride and maintained a very pleasant attitude. When you got to the counter she treated you as if you were the only one in the gelato shop. Kudos to her! There is plenty of free parking, so you linger as long as you like. Within the gelato shop there plenty to engage the little people - colorful hanging inflated balloons, eye-catching ice cream cone wallpaper to arcade machines. Great gelato...great experience! Look forward to returning when we are in that vicinity...

    Great spot for gelato with plenty of delicious flavors to choose from. My son had fun playing the games at the kids' table while we enjoyed our treats. The owner was working and was very friendly. A wonderful addition to this part of Round Rock

    Very delicious. I got the tiramisu and the mixed berries cheesecake and thought they were both very flavorful, probably from the fact that the owner is from Colombia. Service was friendly. A nice new place to try in RR. Ambiance is cute.

    Such a cute place! The gelato was great. I had Tiramisu, Oreo and Strawberries & Cream. My grandson had Vanilla and Cookie Monster. Husband had Chocolate, Movie Night and Pistachio. I sampled the Movie Night and it tasted just like popcorn. My favorite of what I had was the Strawberries and Cream, very favorable!

    Cute aesthetics, small table with games, coloring pages, mini claw game... highly recommend!

    The dairy free strawberry gelato & sugar cones were delicious! The workers were friendly and helpful & even replaced my son's gelato, on their own, when it was a little too full for him & fell on the floor. Exceptional customer service & super cute environment!

    very berry cheesecake

It honestly feels like you've stepped into a fairytale -- the flowers, the decor, the atmosphere. Just being here instantly lifts your mood. On top of that, the matcha and desserts are truly excellent. The desserts are especially impressive: not overly sweet, very balanced, with a delicate, soft texture. Everything comes together perfectly here: the interior, the drinks, and the desserts they serve. This is one of those places where the whole experience feels thoughtful and harmonious. I'm definitely becoming a regular.

    Last night I came in with my partner for a late night treat. It was my first time at this location…read morebut I looked the location up prior to arrival like any good Yelper to determine what the 'vibe' was. Based upon reviews and research, I deduced this was a place that required those who visit to order at a kiosk to get their goodies. Side note: I have noticed that many Bobba and fast casual places have reverted to this model; where customers order and pay themselves without the interaction of an employee and then wait for their food. The main difference here and other places that have similar self service is that this place provides customers with a plethora of Instagramable/ FOMO opportunities. My partner elected to order an oreo marshmallow frappe. This frappe was rich and decadent and included silky chocolate interwoven with oreo crumbles. This frappe tasted exactly like a 'fluffy' oreo; just devine. On the other hand, I ordered the creme brulee souffle pancake. For those who have not yet had the opportunity to try this Japanese delight, the name is what it implies; a creamy stack of pancakes with crunchy bitter caramel, and silky vanilla custard. This dessert happened to be accompanied by a dollop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. These pancakes melted in my mouth and each bite was just as good as the one that preceded it. Aside from the great desserts as mentioned above, there are far too many instagrammable opportunities in this place (*truly a foodie and Yelp Elites dream).

Backyard patio has some big bricks for the kids to play with. Parking is a bit confusing at first but there's additional parking to the side if the entrance lot is full. We sat outside and ordered the following dishes: Coxinha (shredded chicken croquette) was excellent and very kid friendly. Crispy on the outside while incredibly creamy and soft on the inside. 9/10 Bolinha de Queijo (fried cheese balls) were my son's favorite, basically their version of mozzarella sticks. 9/10 Pizza Queijo, cheese pizza with crust stuffed with Brazilian cream cheese, really good. 8/10 Espetinho de Chicken Heart, my wife's choice and she loved it. Dense, slightly chewy, and best with lime and the creamy pepper sauce the waiter brought after I asked. 8/10 Strogonoff de Frango, the standout main dish. Rich, creamy, perfectly seasoned sauce with excellent rice and crispy potato sticks. 9/10 Caipirinha Tradicional, solid and paired well with the savory dishes. 9/10 Caipirinha de Caju, my wife loved it, perfectly balanced sweetness. 10/10 Brigadeiro (dessert) taken to go. Small but tasted as expected. 7/10 Pricing is mid range and actually lower than expected overall though drinks can push the bill up quickly. Overall, great vibes and a very enjoyable experience. Best suited for dates, special occasions, or family outings. I would definitely come back, especially to try more appetizers, different pizza options, the Strogonoff de Frango again and try some new dishes. 4.5 / 5 rounded up!

Luckily, they were able to seat me anyway. This is a casual restaurant with a full bar. I was going to eat 4 times today, and needed to pick something light, but ended up with the escondidinho de carne, a shepherds pie like dish, chicken skewers and a dragonfruit caparinha. Cocktail- served in a lowball and looked great upon presentation. This tasted pretty good, but ended up being so small with a lot of ice, unfortunately. Skewers - these were pretty good with a nice grilled flavor. I loved the texture. Escondidinho de carne - this is a really good dish with ground beef that doesn't have many veggies like the Irish version, but still very good. The visit was not without a miscues though. I asked the waitress for an extra plate when she brought the entree out, but she never returned. Then, at the end, I finished my meal and nobody was coming to my table to give me my ticket. I had other places to be so I had to walk to the register and ask for my bill. Another person at the bar, who I had never seen come to my table, prepared the bill so I could pay. This was a little bit awkward and just seemed like the employees were flustered due to the holiday or something and just forgot about me entirely. If I ever return, I will have to come back and try the steak on my next visit. It looked really good!

The audacity Story time, Today I went to the original Round Rock location, downtown Round Rock, to buy my son's birthday donuts, It's tradition. Every year on his birthday he gets a dozen half glazed and half chocolate frosted donuts. Then I get a kolache and a dozen donut holes for myself. Well when I pulled up today the line was wrapped around all the way to Mays street. So I just followed the line of cars and got in line. You'd think that a line that long would take a long time but.... Round Rock donuts has this process down to a T. It took less than 10 minutes to get through that line and get my order. And those donuts came out hot and fresh. So did my kolache. Anywho, Don't let the lines scare you away, Just jump in and know they're going to move quickly. Also, If you're planning an office event or any type of event and you want donuts and coffee or kolaches donuts and coffee, Round Rock donuts offers a great menu for large orders and also they have a cake menu for custom cake orders. If you don't want to stay in line in your car you can also park wherever you can find a spot and go to the walk-up ordering window, It's shaded and there's plenty of space to hang out while your order is being made and brought out to you. All this to say, It's a Round Rock Donut, Happy Birthday to my Son!

You order from the counter and they give you number. Drinks are self served for coffee, fountain, or water. In a fridge next to the order station is orange juice, apple juice, bottled water, and milks (regular and chocolate). Since this was my first time, I ordered the flight of 3. I asked the employee for their favorite - chicken and waffles - and also ordered Banana Love and Grilled Cheese and Bisque. It was definitely a mix of flavors - sweet, savory, and hearty. The ambiance is upbeat. Playing top 40 type of music, folks are dressed comfortably, and the tables are a bit too close together but can easily to accommodate larger groups. Chicken and waffles. Had this one first. It served more like a main meal. Chicken was juicy, a bit more breading than expected but was easy to take it off. It was served with syrup and some sort of mayo/thousand island type mix. Grilled cheese & bisque. Had this one next. Should've been first because it had more of an appy feel. Waffles were nice and crispy, cheese was perfectly melted. I used the bisque for dipping but the also provided a spoon in case you want to continue on with it. Banana Love. Saved this one a dessert. The Nutella was pretty thick and a bit overpowering. The whipped cream was really good and banana looked and tasted fresh. Overall, very good and will eventually eat my way through the menu. The menu also offers sandwich type meals where the waffle acts as the bun. Those seem good for a real lunch.

So much goodness. My favorite sweet though has to be the Biscoff waffle. Literally one of the greatest things ever. Great brekkie and lunch spot.

The cake bites were a mix of dry with what seemed no flavor, maybe because it was dry/old. The red velvet was more moist and delicious! I'd give the place another try but with fresh options. The employee was polite, very informative. It's a cute little shop, bathroom was in a separate building, not a far walk. Outside seating, in front and back of shop, vending machine with their products. Giving three stars because of how dry, possibly old the cake bites were. Again, I'd try again in hopes of options that are fresh. I assume on Monday they are baking fresh products that may not been out yet.

I checked and the Apple Pay time stamp went through more than 30 minutes prior. I asked staff if our toast was still coming and they replied rudely like I was being a jerk to even ask. Pagers for food when they went off were obnoxious beeping. Just give people a table number and carry it out to them. Maybe they have one little toaster and person in the back? That said once the food came, the tofu was DELICIOUS, and a large portion. We could have split it. Croissant was unimpressive as was their chocolate croissant. Macarons were tasty, but not with the signature chew that ones made with egg whites would have. $$ Two plain lattes, two lemon toasts, a chocolate croissant and 6 macarons with a $5 tip was $88. Pretty ridiculous, and I am used to California, Bay Area prices.
