I'm also happy to see a new business in the Oxbow! But, tho I'll give it another chance soon, I wasn't really happy with the Roman Holiday scoops. The flavors were fine and the density was similar to other gelatos, but I found it to be very sticky and gooey -- more like cake frosting than ice cream -- rather than creamy and milky. In fact there was no sense of dairy terroir at all, which is really one of the things that I look for and truly enjoy in a local ice cream or gelato. I'll give it another shot since I live around the corner. Will update here if I get a better impression.

I looked for an email address so I could share this feedback privately, but since I couldn't find one, I'm leaving it here instead. For hygiene purposes, I recommend having attendants use a tissue, napkin, or gloves when handling waffle cones rather than touching them with bare hands. During my visit, the same employee was operating the cash register while also preparing ice cream, which meant they were handling both money and food. I believe this small change would help reinforce good food-handling practices and provide customers with an even greater experience. Thank you for the wonderful ice cream and I forward to visiting again!

Looking at other…read morereviews, it seems like other people got to try specific bonbon flavors, which would've been even better, but I can't complain with free samples... There was no one in the store when we visited, and no one behind us waiting so we took our time choosing. The lady working behind the counter seemed slightly exasperated with us. Regardless, we ended up picking a 9 piece box, which was $27. The subsequent times we visited, it was a different employee, who was more friendly so your experience may vary. Regardless, pretty good chocolate overall, albeit pricey, but the store feels kind of cold and sterile.

This was my second visit to Kollar Chocolates, and they still don't disappoint. We tried a…read moreselection of their chocolate bonbons, and every bite felt thoughtfully crafted. My absolute favorite is the Dang Dazy milk chocolate--its velvety texture paired with crunchy almond and hazelnut bits creates the perfect balance. The Earl Grey dark chocolate was also incredibly good. While the richness of the dark chocolate leans slightly dominant, you can still catch those subtle, fragrant notes of Earl Grey in each bite. At around $3 per bonbon, it's definitely on the pricier side--but considering the quality, creativity, and variety of flavors, I think it's completely justified. It's especially heartbreaking to share that this is widely considered one of the best artisan chocolate shops in California, and they're now closing their only store in Yountville due to slow business and rising costs. Losing a place like this feels like losing a true gem. If you're anywhere near Yountville, make the trip and show them some love while you still can.

The shop is small inside, but there's seating in the back. We got a dozen assorted macarons for $40, and each flavor was so good.

Macaron Flavors We Tried (all 5/5): - Watermelon Tajín - Curry Coconut (kids least favorite but I enjoyed it) - Elote - Blueberry Cheesecake - Lavender - Salted Caramel - Passionfruit - Cookie Butter I also tried their Tiramisu Cold Brew, which I really enjoyed. I can't wait to come back and try more of their macaron flavors!

I've seen Madeline's Macarons driving through Yountville before and always been curious so I…read morefinally stopped by with a friend to try some macarons. They have a combination of standard flavors (think espresso, pistachio, chocolate) and unique sweet and savory options. It's a small storefront with two tables inside and some outdoor seating. The service was friendly and quick as well. We got 3 macarons to try for $10 - a lavender, watermelon tajin, and apple gorgonzola. Surprisingly the lavender was my least favorite despite us choosing it as a "safe" option - the filling was almost soapy in taste and felt slightly gritty/oily. The watermelon tajin had the flavor of a jolly rancher and also bubblegum and was very unique and interesting to try. The apple gorgonzola was likely my favorite, with the macarons have a sour apple taste and the filling being more creamy with buts of funk and umami from the gorgonzola cutting through. Overall, lots of unique fun flavors at Madeline's and I'm glad I gave it a try! I'm definitely impressed by how they were able to capture this wide variety of flavors in macaron form, and the macaron cookies themseslves are wonderful in texture.

Your ice cream was so good I'm craving it from San Francisco!…read more We were visiting Santa Rosa and we wanted to treat ourselves to some ice cream after lunch. I searched Yelp for a good ice cream spot and found Nimble & Finn's. Upon entering, we were surprised by the really cute decor and ambiance of the place. They had unique and creative ice cream flavors and I really liked that they combined two of my favorites - Lavender and Honeycomb. They also had Creme Brûlée, which I also liked, so I convinced my husband to get it. I'm glad he got that coz I got to try both and was very satisfied. Even my husband who is not really into sweets actually enjoyed his ice cream and finished it! Oh how I wish they had a location here in SF so I can just have it any time and try their other flavors. But if you're ever in Santa Rosa, you got to give Nimble & Finn's a try. It's totally worth it. Also bring a cooler with you so you can bring home this ice cream goodness!

It's only a personal preference, but I felt like the honeycomb candy made it too sweet. However, I understand that's a little hard to control since it is honeycomb candy. The lavender flavor paired very nicely with the honeycomb candy regardless! If I'm ever in Santa Rosa, I will definitely be back!!

The girl working at the counter had no idea what their prices were and when we asked for a second cup so our two toddlers could split a scoop we were told it would be an additional $7 (for an empty paper cup!!).

I was planning to bring my family here often but after that experience will be taking my business elsewhere to a place that actually appreciates having customers.

The mango had chunks of fresh mango and the lemon lime swirl you could taste the distinct flavors. My husband had a couple scoops of jamoca almond fudge and agrees on the taste. They make the ice cream by scratch. They also have a coffee bar inside too. Again not a lot of choices but I had the London Fog tea and it was good. I wish they had sleeves for the cups.
