    Almond
    Sophia H.

    Came here yesterday with a couple of friends. There were a good selection of flavors to choose from. The staff member was helpful and nice and let us sampled some flavors before we decided on one. The hazelnut was delicious, but we ended up getting a scoop of the almond. The almond flavor was very present, which we liked. There were also little almond bits. The texture of the gelato itself was creamy and smooth. It did melt really quickly though. Even when we were first handed the cup, it was already melting. That's the only thing I wished was different. This was my first time here so I could only speak from this one experience. Maybe it was just this day. Otherwise, we loved it!

    Located downtown Livermore is Verace. The little shop, with a decent amount of sitting inside and out, is street parking. The Gelato is wonderfully creamy, soft, velvet, with huge depth of flavor. The Black Cherry was done with love. They know what they are doing here!

    A gelato place! Yes! I stumbled upon this place while looking for something sweet after a big lunch. We were welcomed warmly and introduced the menu. I got the pistachio and my bf got the nutella. I was hoping they had spumoni but they didn't so pistachio was the next best thing for me. The gelato was creamy and sweet. I usually can't handle super sweet stuff so I am glad I got the smallest serving. Overall look store for something sweet, I want to go back to try the affogato next time.

    Such a cute lovely little gelato spot, clean and welcoming. The double scoop in a cup was great, tried a super chocolate flavor (give me all the chocolate!!) and the "Versace" mix of pistachio and berry. Service was kind and quick Love that they put little cones on top of your cup so you can make BABY cones!

    Absolutely loved this place! The ambience is warm and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and happy to help with recommendations. But the real star is the affogato. Hands down my favorite dessert here and honestly the best affogato I've ever had. I'll definitely be back!

    Verace is a great gelato shop located in downtown Livermore. They always have interesting flavors and they're fun to check out during Witches Night Out. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Amarene (milk and black cherries) was the most recent flavor I tried and it was delicious. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Tiramisu ice cream
    Yoon K.

    The ambiance is nice and clean. Outdoor heated seating area is nice to do some people watching on the side street. We've been here a few times and have tried the coffee, and tiramisu ice cream as well, but so far our favorite flavors were the mango (tastes like they just ground up mango and froze it - impressive) and the pumpkin spice (more creamy) and the waffle bowl was so good as well! Careful, they can get crowded at times, but is well worth the wait!

    Cute and bright decor drew us here. Their many flavors were a definite plus. They have indoor and outdoor seating, which is great for cooler or hot days. Staff were friendly and quickly took orders. Their pumpkin spice was good but a tad too sweet. My single scoop was well presented and the small cone was a nice touch.

    The gelato was SO GOOD!! The line out the door was insane, but the workers were so fast and so kind!! They let us try flavors and recommended some. The indoor and outdoor seating was great. Everything was cute and clean. This was my 3rd time coming here and we'll def be back !

    Verace is a lovely place downtown, bright and welcoming. The Wife and I stopped by, and I was impressed with everything else you could get here besides gelato. We both had a combination of two gelatos. Mine was an almond based, and a hazelnut based combination. We both got the medium size, and regretted it, because it was generous and more than we needed. The service consisted of a polite young man, who was unable to pour any wine because he was underage. We didn't really want any, I just found it interesting that they offer it. The shelves have a number of different bottles for takeout, and the refrigerated case has a nice variety of Italian water and sodas and such.

    Pistachio Gelato
    Ellie M.

    Stopped in for a sweet treat and had the pistachio gelato. It was delicious! Highly recommend! The sugar cone was also fresh and delicious. You know how sometimes the cones can taste a bit stale, well not here. The establishment is very clean and roomy. You can sit and enjoy your gelato.

    Gianduia and vanilla caramel
    Stevi B.

    YUM! Stopped in after dinner to check out Verace and it did not disappoint! I had a scoop of the vanilla caramel (SO good) and a scoop of the gianduia (I may be butchering that spelling). They were a delicious yin & yang combo that I certainly plan to be back for. The gelato had a thick but creamy consistency and was the perfect end to an evening out.

    Outside seating

    Verace opened where Boba & More once was. Decor & seating totally changed. Only the service counter similar + gelato station. Some inside seating, limited outside seating. Offerings (Italian) covfefe, gelato. Sips: Espresso Macchiato (4) -2d or 3rd time ordering this drink. Was pronouncing it wrong. Didn't know it was Italian. Now know to only order this drink from Italian cafes. -smiling, quick courteous service. Covfefe bold taste with lotsa foam on top with a cute design. Came with a small biscuit. Fresh, savory, not too sweet. *very satisfying. Got a Dubai Chocolate gelato sample. Rich chocolate taste, minimal sugar, non-dairy. All ingredients came from Italy. made in house with Italian gelato machine. 5 stars worthy! Quantity : reasonable Quality: Outstanding, Thatsa Italian

I recommend sharing a triple scoop because that's cheaper than buying 2 singles. I think gelato at this price is unheard of in the bay area, let alone in Blackhawk/Danville of all places. I guess the rent isn't too bad because the place is small, but it is nice and the service is really good too! Definitely will be back! I'm actually no longer as surprised at the stellar ratings. I mean 4.9 star average is still insane, but I'd expect nothing less than 4.5-4.7 to be honest. I like the pistachio, biscoff, cookies and cream, stracciatella, vanilla, and dubai chocolate flavors. The waffle cone is included in the price so make sure to specifically ask for it, I made the mistake of not specifying and it would be 50 cents on the side (probably due to sharing, the single scoop is $5.99 and the triple scoop is $7.99)

    Found this dessert stand at the Alameda County Fair (in the carnival section), and the fancy gelato…read moremilkshakes on their menu caught my eye. Instead of just plain chocolate, their dark knight milkshake is a mountain of chocolate cake, chocolate fudge, and chocolate sprinkles, all on top of the chocolate gelato blend. And the grasshopper milkshake features peppermint and oreo cookies and crumbles, along with Andes mint candy (my fave) decorating the mint chocolate chip gelato mix. Too many tempting choices, but I had to go with the strawberry shortcake milkshake, made with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, angel cake, and topped off with chocolate fudge and crushed graham crackers... so many layers of flavor I just couldn't resist. As it turns out, the graham cracker crumbs are mainly for decoration, most of it pretty much glued to the plastic mug (not edible). And what shined in this dessert was the "shortcake", not the strawberry. Besides those 3 strawberries on top, I actually didn't get much strawberry flavor from the shake itself. Slightly disappointing, but like I said, the sponge cake and toppings were fresh and tasty, and the gelato wasn't bad, just lacking a sweetness and tartness that you get from actual strawberries, tasted almost watered down. Luckily, the presentation of the drink (served with both a spoon and straw) almost makes up for that. And I love that 50% of their profits go to charity. They're based in Atascadero, but travel to different events and festivals all over, currently at the fair in Pleasanton this summer. Overall, the product and service is decent, with unique offerings on their menu like churro sandwiches which I find intriguing even if I'm more of a milkshake kinda gal. If I could do it again, I'd go with with the mint or chocolate flavor though.

Biscoff Matcha: 6.5/10 matcha w/ a cookie butter swirl, topped with/ vanilla cold foam, biscoff cookie and crumble on top. felt like a good amount of sweetness, got it at 50% for the sweet lvl. wished the matcha powder had a more earthy and strong flavor. cookie butter swirl was nice, would've been great w/ a concentrated syrup to enhance the flavor. Biscoff Latte: 7/10 similar to the matcha, latte has a rich coffee flavor. not so sweet, which i enjoyed. just the same w/ the cookie butter from the matcha. needs more of a strong flavor profile for the biscoff taste. Macarons: 8.5/10 love getting the macarons! we got the salted caramel, fruity pebble, and strawberry cheesecake. they were all great! however, i felt like the flavor didn't shine through for the strawberry cheesecake. highly recommend the salted caramel.
