    Moo Gelatos - texture tastes like ice cream from a typical shop, I've had silkier/creamier gelato elsewhere - very cute presentation of both orders but the items were overpriced - parking was very open on Friday night around 9pm 1. Ferror rocher (3.8/5) - definitely has the small crunches of the candy, very chocolatey, lil too sweet for my preference 2. Ube (3.8/5) - there is the ube flavor but also a lot of coconut scent (personally not a fan of coconut unless it's the actual fruit), sweetness level is good 3. Cookie Monster (3.5/5) - again too sweet for my preference, not my favorite variation of Cookie Monster

    I give the gelato a 5 out of 5 because it's so yummy ! I love gelato and love trying new spots. I was disappointed with the fact that the guy working tonight grabbed money and then the waffle and don't wash his hands. His friend also came in and together were very loud. They place is super cute but the price is the highest price I've ever paid for gelato. Not sure if I'll be back.

    Upon walking in it was empty,but we where greeted with a Smile. We where given options to taste the gelato before buying, that's always a plus. The mango was good and so was the Vietnamese Coffee the cone wasn't sweet, which I threw away after 2 bites. My son's got 1 a scoop of the flavor they liked. Customer Service **** Gelato**** Noise level (quiet) w/over head music *** Cone **

    There are some exotic Asian flavors but also traditional ones to satisfy many palettes. The prices are reasonable so not sure why people think it's expensive. This is fresh made gelato. You can keep your gelato basic or make it extra with a jar or an egg waffle. If you have young kids the unicorn shake and unicorn flavors will impress. Nothing mind blowing but solid gelato.

    i like coming here for their bubble waffles! i've tried their sorbets too and the lychee raspberry is great. service is fast and there's usually no line. the hours on yelp are inaccurate though.

    A lot smaller in person, pales in comparison to their ig posts.

    This place is pretty cute, along with it's unicorn theme and aesthetics. But I can't give them much credit to anything else. They are mostly an ice cream/gelato place, they have a limited selection of other desserts (ie. a few cupcakes). They also have a fair amount of gelato flavors available, but nothing really stood out to me. Some of the flavors were "cookie monster", chocolate, strawberry, smores, and your other average stuff. The vanilla unicorn only stood out to me because of the rainbow colors. I was informed that it's supposed to taste like cake batter or dough, but I didn't get that at all. I had a single scoop in a cone with unicorn decorations. For around $7, this cone was underwhelming and the decorations unpleasantly tasted like chalk. The Moo Gelato does little to differentiate themselves from other ice cream places. Maybe I should not have gotten a "basic" flavor like vanilla, but I felt compelled to do so because nothing else looked appetizing. They may be too focused on creating gimmicks and insta-worthy posts. Instead, they could be improving their desserts' quality and offering a wider, diverse selection of gelato flavors.

    My lychee freeze was icy and about 20% empty. Should buy smaller cups and bring down the price. Gelato felt weird. They even look a bit off. Icy but buttery? I think that's the word to describe it. One small scoop of gelato is pretty pricey but I was kind of glad there was only a little bit. The waffle was good but this is a gelato place so... The place is cute but uncomfortably awkward. The worker was just in a corner playing with her phone. She alsolooked so annoyed when I asked to sample. In response to the owner: Hello Stefanie, I believe that you may have mistaken me for another customer, because the night I visited there was only one sales associate who did not provide much info, no manager on site, unless she was the manager on site. The accuracy of my review is based on my OPINION, that is why I wrote "I think," "kind of," "a bit." Therefore, my response should be taken with a critical eye, just like any piece of writing. Btw I did NOT get a scoop of gelato for FREE.

    Was in the area and have been wanting to try the gelato here. It is a cute little gelato store. We were greeted right away and was very welcoming. I got a scoop of vietnamese coffee gelato. It was good, but I'm not sure if it was $6.00 good. I would have given it 3.5 stars but unable to.

    I'll give 'em this... they know how to make folks try their establishment out. Unicorn and Mermaid gelato?!? That got me in the door, with my wife and daughter in tow. We opted for a double scoop, puffwaffle cone with cookies and cream and mermaid gelato - with a unicorn topper. Then, I also ordered a triple scoop in a cup - just to try some other flavors and because I'm the boring one in the family. My kiddo dug into the Mermaid/Unicorn creation with my wife while I sampled dark chocolate, Whiskey Caramel, and S'mores flavors. All very strong choices. I would recommend any of them. The Mermaid flavor is - sort of Birthday Cake-y, I guess. All very smooth and creamy - good stuff. Our tab for the two items we ordered came to just under $19. Pricey, for sure. But, you know, it makes a heckuva good Instagram photo. We might be back - but this might be one of those one and done experiences since we live about 20 miles away.

It's his absolute favorite, and we were so excited to hear they're opening a location closer to our home. Because we come so often, I intentionally order him the smallest serving to limit his sugar, but for years I've asked them to put that same small amount in the largest cup so it doesn't melt and spill everywhere. I'm not asking for one drop of extra gelato... just a bigger paper cup. Recently, a manager told me they could no longer do this because they're "losing too much money" on the larger cups. I was honestly flabbergasted. Meanwhile, customers standing in line are offered free gelato samples, often multiple samples, but apparently an empty larger cup for a five-year-old is where we draw the line on cost? The photos show exactly why I ask. This time we had brought friends and their children with us, and everyone walked outside with gelato overflowing and melting everywhere. At the volume they buy their cups even if the larger cup costs 50 cents more.. THEN charge me for it! I'd happily pay FOR THE COST OF A LARGER CUP. But after years of loyalty and hundreds of visits.. bringing EVERYONE for "Bacio break" being told this tiny accommodation is costing the company too much money was incredibly disappointing. The first time this manager said this, I let it slide.. this was the 4th recent visit and I HAD TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE. So although their gelato is tasty... they have a very disappointing approach to customer service from top down....hospitality is not anywhere near their priority list.

    We stopped in for a little treat after a quick visit to the beach. They have so many flavors!!…read moreThis month the theme was something along the lines of "sea mythology" (think mermaids, kraken, sea witches, etc.) so they had probably around 6 flavors with clever names to fit the theme. Besides that, they had all the standard gelato flavors, plus a ton more unique ones! I was tempted to try so many of them (even though I'm that person that always just orders chocolate chip or hazelnut anyway). My daughter picked taro and the "sea witch" flavor, which was purple sweet potato and squid ink caramel. She got to sample both of them before deciding since I wasn't sure if she would like those flavors, but she did! And even though she mainly picked them because they were purple, they actually complimented each other well since they were both sweet root vegetables haha. This place offered 4 different sizes (kid, small, medium and large). Even the kid size was a bit much for my 4 year old daughter, but it's probably the right size for like a 10 year old... Naturally I helped her finish it! The gelato was delicious and I loved the uniqueness of both of these flavors! The visual aesthetic was fabulous, too. Our server was very kind and patient as my daughter decided what she wanted. We sat in the store for a few minutes as we ate before we headed back to our parking meter. There were around 4 small tables with a couple chairs each for sitting. It seems like enough since most people probably grab n go since there's so much window shopping to do in this area. In summary, we loved this gelato shop and can't wait to see what future seasonal flavors they have!

They must use really good ingredients for their ice cream, doesn't feel like a lot of processed stuff. The ice cream was melting as expected and I didn't feel terrible after eating one by myself. It was just refreshing and joyful. They are located on the southern most side of Pacific City. It's rather tucked away. Once you reach the end of the plaza, go in the building and they are immediately to your left. Staff are friendly. Place is clean. They have a lot of flavors, but sadly you need to buy it to try it. I was disappointed, of course, because some flavors seemed really interesting, but I don't dare try something different if in case I end up not liking enough to regret it. There was another ice cream place up north that had the same policy, but they are so confident about the flavors and quality that they will replace your order completely should you not like it. I don't think this place has that kind of policy, which would discourage me from choosing this place compared to their chain competitor just a block away. Maybe there could be a compromise like, try up to 3 flavors only. That way, I can try three new unique flavors but if I really didn't like them I could still have a great experience with a tried and true favorite. Hope the owner seriously considers this because I think they are great and I want them to thrive! Another great thing about this place is that It isn't a big chain and mass produced. It feels personal and feels very special. I admire people who have such a passion for the craft that they invest in it with time and money, so let's support! Especially when the ice cream is this good.
