I'm a sucker for any Thai deserts or Thai tea flavored stuff and this place didn't disappoint. Came here on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. All proper covid precautions were followed and the kind staff can help you build your cup if you're unsure. They have a wide array of flavors and toppings, unmatched to some places i've seen nearby. I got the Bangkok summer with boba, mochi, and oreo crumbs and absolutely loved it. The thai tea flavor was great and delicious like most others i've tried. The toppings were all as you expect. It's rolled ice cream so it's fun to watch them make your ice cream and roll it up! Overall liked this place a lot and a cute spot to get ice cream with anyone, and try their Bangkok summer!!!! read more

Our family was visiting Gainesville for the weekend, and stopped by here for dessert for the first time. We were all disappointed with everything. This was our first time having rolled ice cream, and it unfortunately didn't meet our expectations. Rather than being rolled and packed nicely in a cup, our ice cream was loosely rolled and smooshed into a cup. Their new steamed buns on their menu were overcooked and dried out. We really wanted to like this spot, but this visit was an unfortunately a big miss for us. read more

High hopes based on the reviews First. The inside was so hot. Like sweltering. Not good for an ice cream joint. The server was super nice and friendly. I had chai tea w tapioca boba. It had ok flavor but needed more ice. It was lukewarm. Tapioca boba was as expected. For ice cream I had corrupt cookie. I was so excited to try rolled ice cream. Completely disappointed. I didn't taste cookie dough. I didn't taste fudge brownie and there was no chocolate syrup. The ice cream tasted old. Like it was left open for weeks. 4 bites and I threw it out. My daughter had the wake me up and she didn't like it either. Funny taste and like the ice cream was old or left out. Trashed after 4 bites. And the place is expensive My daughter also bought some cute little cositas. But expensive too. She picked up a pack of pens and they wanted to charge us 2.99 per pen??? Almost 20$ for a pack. Um no ty We won't be back here. read more

We stopped in for some tea. I ordered the Thai tea and it was not what I have had from many other places. One of the kids had some ice cream with rainbow sprinkles and she really like it made on the freeze tables. One of the kids had a fruit tea with popping Boba which she was not a fan of like she has enjoyed in many other places. This is a great place for the ice cream, but we would not recommend some of the specialty teas. The staff is super friendly and tried to help us select some items, but just not what we have been used to in other specialty tea shops. read more

I really liked this place because the ice cream wasn't super sugary as long as you don't add a bunch of candy to the mix.

This place is great! I don't have any complaints! It's a nice sweet treat after dinner or for a date. The inside is very pretty and clean, and the worker was sweet and was quick and always had a smile. I ordered the create your own and was very delicious, I shared with my boyfriend and was plenty enough. There is some bad reviews on here but no worries this place is great for boba or ice cream! Enjoy! read more

Terrible service listened to brainrot loudly while taking orders tea was watered down and full of ice horrible experience

The service was horrible in the middle of taking our order he went on his phone. We tried to order rolled ice cream but they don't serve it till 2? We ordered a taro milk tea and it came out warm and without ice, it was horrible. The employee didn't want to work, he did everything to try and encourage us to leave. read more

If you're craving a something sweet after lunch or dinner, this is your place! The rolled ice cream hits different with your own toppings, including popular Asian snack toppings such as pocky. Really enjoyed my dessert here!! read more

It's not. So that would have been redundant. I honestly thought I was walking into a Zero Degrees, as in that franchise from California that has mangonada and split cups and all that stuff. Well this place is not that place. But this place is much better! They should really only hire females to work here. Then they could be called Zero DeHe's. That would cure all illnesses, too. You walk in riddled with every virus on earth... you walk out with Zero Disease. I'm not sure who had the name first, but it's really cute, because they have rolled ice cream and Boba drinks and their Boba drinks are actually really good. I would give them somewhere between a 4 and a 5, but probably closer to 5, however the wonderful service and attention to detail and extreme friendliness means I have no choice whatsoever but to give them 5 stars and they absolutely deserve it. And they've had customers from every state except for our nation's capital. Crazy right? Thousands from every other state... but Zero DC's! One of my fave Boba shops not just in Gainesville, but in Florida. And Barbie says that she wouldn't have made nearly as much money in her video career if she'd done Zero DP's. read more

I wish I had looked at the reviews of this place before coming in. Save yourself and don't go here please. We paid $8.23 for a bland rolled ice cream. We got cookie cluster I think it was and there was no taste of chocolate or cookie. The texture was also off it tasted like freezer burned ice cream. The don't offer refunds but why would we want to order another one if the first one flopped. The indoors is kinda sad and depressing atmosphere. Cards and games thrown all over the floor. Not sure how clean they are . read more

service was wondeful!!! super friendly and a very clean environment!!! food was absolutely amazing and can't wait to come back!

I really liked this place before but my latest visit wasn't very great :/ they have more flavors so I was excited to try them rolled.... but they were just scooped and handed over. There was no signs saying they didn't roll those flavors so I'm not sure if it was just because the server was trying to rush orders or what. He also took and completed orders of people who came after us while we were still waiting. they should really have multiple people working but it seemed it was just one guy. I was very disappointed. probably won't be coming back for a while :( read more

Despite a recent upsurge in rolled ice cream shops in Gainesville, Zero Degrees has proven to be the best one. Located in a shopping center along a main intersection (34th & Archer), it is rather convenient to stop by. There is a sufficient number of rolled ice cream flavors, which includes three toppings, and unlimited sauces, such as condensed milk, caramel, etc., all for $5.55. I got the Bangkok Summer, which is a Thai tea with lychee, topped mochi, cheesecake bites, and popping boba, with a condensed milk drizzle. To make it even more aesthetic, they add a cute koala cookie on top. At other rolled ice cream places, the ice cream lacks flavor and is icy, but Zero Degrees does a great job with keeping it creamy and flavorful. Moreover, they are very generous with their toppings, and their unlimited sauce drizzles make it even more worth. They provide some board and card games for customers that lounge around, and the store is relatively clean. The staff takes your order and rolls your ice cream, but doesn't really bother you otherwise. There's also cute mural to take pictures in front of. If you want rolled ice cream, which is currently trendy, go to Zero Degrees. However, there are other normal ice cream places that may be better and more worth your money. read more

Zero Degrees - Base: Bangkok Summer (Thai Tea & Lychee) / Toppings: Mochi, Cheesecake Bites, Popping Boba / Sauces: Condensed Milk - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Got a craving for ice cream while in Gainesville? Go to zero degrees, they have a variety of flavors, toppings, and drizzles that you can mismatch and customize to your liking. You can choose the flavor of your ice cream which I chose the Taro and red bean, 3 toppings I did the cheesecake bites, Mochi, and fruity pebbles, and topped it off with the condensed milk drizzle. The staff will make the creation right in front of your eyes and you can have a seat in their spacious ice cream shop. The ice cream is super creamy and with the variety of toppings you can get your taste buds will scream for more and each bite is different. read more

This is right next to my gym (a test of true self control lol). It's prices are similar to 8 Degrees Fahrenheit. Both places give you 3 free toppings, but this place gives you unlimited sauces for your ice cream. The ice cream is pretty typical; pretty but a tad expensive and not a lot of room for toppings. Keep in mind that you are probably paying for an Instagram photo, rather than tasty ice cream. The parking for this location is tight because a lot of spaces are taken up by gym patrons. However the parking lot is huge so you will find a space, just not close to it. This place also has macarons and crepe cakes. These offerings make this location different from 8F and Mr. Cool. I tried a chocolate macaron and it was.....meh. I'd rather walk a couple of feet to Earth Fare for macarons. read more

Zero Degrees - Non-ice cream food available - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

This place honestly isn't anything special, and I don't think I'll be back. The ice cream roller had her hair down right over her workspace which is so unsanitary (I added a picture of this). I kept worrying I was going to find hair in my ice cream, thank god I didn't. Either way there needs to be a policy where the workers wear hairnets or keep their hair tightly secured up so they don't contaminate the food! I got the s'mores ice cream, and I expected the marshmallows to be toasted a big but they were just cold and hard. The graham crackers were also old and didn't taste fresh. The ice cream was honestly just bland, everything about it was kind of boring. The only "cool" part was getting to watch them roll the ice cream. There are far better ice cream places out there that are better quality and have higher health standards to go to. read more

We stumbled upon this place and we will never come back. Never! First of all, the place had such a potent smell as soon as we walked in. It had a strong odor of Jasmin rice or somewhere in Southeast Asia or China, the girl/woman working had no social skills and one simple roll of ice cream with one topping was over $9! It wasn't even big! Rip off and place smells. We didn't feel like business was important to her either. read more

My mother-in-law took me and my husband here last night for dessert. I got the number 2 which was tropical and it was delicious. My husband got the number 5 and he enjoyed it. I'm sure we'll be back again the next time we are in town. read more

Ice cream is good. That's a default. Thus this place was ok but if I want to get critical here's my take. It kind of takes a bit too long to make an ice cream. I was already 3/4 finished w my ice cream when my son barely got his (3rd to order). The ice cream rolls are sooo hard it feels like your going to break the plastic spoon. Ok no big deal I guess but I like my ice cream a tad softer than rock hard. I got the Chocolate Dark Knight (without KitKats) and I was under the impression I was going to taste chocolate sauce and brownie bits but when concocting the ice cream on the frozen slab they dice and mash and pulverize those items combining it into the ice cream so there really are no hunks or resemblance of chocolate sauce when it is served to you. I didn't know that or I would of asked for those items to be put on top of the ice cream rolls. They do give you the option of putting toppings on the rolls but then again, I didn't know I wouldn't be able to discern those items before hand. My other kids ice cream was coffee based (WakeMeUp)& really truely lacked sugar I mean I was thinking the ice cream was reduced sugar type but she liked it after she got used to it and it really was coffee flavored. My son liked his Cookie Minster just fine & rated it a 10/10 so, that's the ice cream default aspect. It's ice cream so it's good but here maybe not as good as it could be. read more

I hear there was another Thailand ice cream place and was reluctant to try it at first. However, I happened to be in the area and wanted a snack so I ended up here. The ice cream was so good and I think slightly better than 8 degrees. I do want to go back to see if things will be made consistently because at 8 degrees certain items such as toasted marshmallows are not always consistently made. Overall the staff was nice and I loved the atmosphere so much better at 0 degrees. There's seven a wall to take cute IG or Snapchat photos. read more

Zero Degrees is my favorite rolled ice cream shop in Gainesville! With an easy to read menu and aesthetic shop, it's no wonder this place immediately gained popularity. This place has boardgames and photo opportunities, which makes this trendy place one that's enjoyable to spend an afternoon catching up with a friend or even going on a cute little date! My personal favorite is the ice cream sandwich. The sandwich portion is a giant macaron which is perfectly chewy and done correctly! Despite being a rolled ice cream shop, the fact that it offers other things on its menu definitely makes it a plus! read more

Among the plethora of hipster ice cream shops in Gainesville, Zero Degrees is for sure a tough one to beat! A perfect end to a long day, Zero Degrees will have me coming back probably a little too often. As a chocolate lover, there was no way I could say no to The Dark Knight which is essentially chocolate ice cream with several chocolate toppings along with chocolate sauce. Yes, it is as good as it sounds. I absolutely would get this again especially for the reasonable price of about $5. The quality of the ice cream reminded me of the rich creaminess of Cold Stone ice cream, but with the cutest presentation: very much Instagram-worthy! As good as this ice cream is however, it's a lot for one serving. Two people could definitely share one and still be full. read more

Great customer service here. They served my daughter 5 minutes before closing. We offered to go and not interrupt their closing duties. They happily served us. My daughter got caramel ice cream with strawberries, cheesecake bites and caramel. Watching them create the ice rolls is really cool. The customer service displayed was amazing. Although I didn't get to physically taste it. Kylah enjoyed it. read more

Rolled ice cream is the hibachi of the frozen treat world. You order. There is a whole show. Then you eat peacefully with an absurd amount of food in front of you. The order: There is a board when you first walk in with ice cream flavors. These aren't your normal ice cream flavors like chocolate or vanilla. They have those but they are mixed with other flavors like berries, candy, Nutella and the like. Then you get to pick three toppings and unlimited syrup. The show: Once you order, an ice creamologist (my term) gets a liquid (non) ice cream and then other flavor items as described in the flavor section of the board. The cream is poured onto an anti-griddle along with the mix-ins. Then he or she chop, chop, chops the mix-ins. Then the ice creamologist spreads the "flavor" across the anti griddle in lines. It is kind of like watching a zen garden ranker but with delicious dessert. Then he or she goes down the line and rolls small sections. The rolls are neatly placed in a cup. Toppings and syrup added and served. The taste: The reality is you eat this like any other ice cream in a cup. There is just lots of it. And lots of toppings. This is good because it is pretty pricy. My dad and I were split when it comes to our review (he gave it an 8.5 out of 10 and I gave it a 6 out of 10), and that is because the result depends on your order. My dad got the Berry, Berry. It was much better than my Dark Knight because it was more unique than what mine tasted like - every day chocolate ice cream despite the mix-ins. We both got at least one fruit topping, and they were delicious and fresh. I was nervous that the ice cream would be icy, but this was not the case at all. Nice and creamy. I think the inside of the store is very welcoming. There are games and some fun murals perfect for that Instagram-worthy shot. Overall: I would go again, but I would get my dad's order. For anyone wanting to try it, it was the Berry Berry with raspberry, strawberry and blackberry toppings and white chocolate syrup. read more

Been here 3 times. Fun ice cream for the family. Nothing more outstanding than other places. If you can go and no one is there it's great.. if there is more than 3 people I'd leave. They usually only have 1 very slow person working and if there is more than a few people who have ordered you have to wait forever! Otherwise... it's ice cream read more

I have to start with the fact that I am a bit of a ice cream snob. I really like ultra premium ice cream and I should have lowered my expectations for this place. It is a really neat store with interesting things on the wall. Its fun watching them make it, especially some of them who are more enthusiastic then others. I really appreciate the face mask for droplet precaution as they are breathing directly over the ice cream. The presentation of the ice cream is fun and they always put a cute little bear cookie on top. I've been to other rolled ice cream joints that split the ice cream up into two cups when you are sharing and dress both cups. Here they put it all in once cup and give you an empty one. NBD, just saying it could be better. The ice cream itself is pretty low quality. I'm not sure if it has to be to roll it but it has a very low concentration of milkfat. I would probably go there again if someone else was treating me, but again I am a snob about ice cream. read more

What a great place! Not only is their ice cream tasty, but they have a ton of versatile options and beautiful interior design. A place meant for groups of friends/family - they have fun games available for their guests to play while you eat! I ordered the Thai Tea Base Ice Cream with various toppings, not to mention the unlimited syrups, and it was delicious! Of course, I have to mention how cool, cultural, and innovative rolled ice cream is. Would definitely recommend. Price: a little much for dessert (around $6) but so worth it! read more

This place has really great boba. I've had the rolled ice cream before, which was good, but I definitely come for the boba. I always get the mousse uji matcha and it's delicious. The cream on top is the best part! I will say that when they are busy, you may wait a while to get your boba. There isn't a whole lot of seating and they have board games so sometimes people sit for awhile and play games so I often would just get boba and go. But this place is really cool and the boba and rolled ice cream are delicious. read more

I have never tried rolled ice cream before, but apparently it is the new fad for ice cream these days! Zero Degrees has recently opened and is in a great location that is close to where I live. The interior is very modern and spacious. There are a few tables off to the side, along with a shelf filled with board games. The menu is written on chalk boards, which I thought was super cute! You order by picking a base flavor, which comes in many different mixtures like s'mores, fruity mixes and many different options to satisfy various cravings. You then choose 3 extra toppings and any amount of sauces that you would like spread out on top of your whole creation! Since this location is quite new, I will cut them a little slack because I'm sure they are still adjusting and their employees are still learning. I had ordered a fruity type of base that was mixed with blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. I then asked for mangoes, white chocolate chips and yogurt bites. I'm not sure if the person who was taking my order did not hear me, but I got different toppings than what I asked for!! Other than that slight mistake, I loved watching my rolled ice cream being made. They have glass window panes so that you can see your ice cream being spread out/rolled and the toppings added. Lastly, it was very tasty and a great dessert to end my night. I must admit, I was WOWED with the presentation!! It was very pretty and they also add a cute little edible teddy bear that tastes like it is filled with frozen yogurt. My boyfriend had ordered the s'mores option and had a big marshmallow on a stick in his ice cream, which they used a handheld torch to give it that campfire-type roasted marshmallow look - how cute! I would definitely go back here, although it is a little pricey for ice cream. It's a self-treat for yourself when you deserve it. read more

I think it's become more a popular trend for ice cream rolls shops to appear, and why the hell shouldn't? As a new comer to the newcomer to Gainesville, zero degrees offers if not a competitive counterpart to ice cream stores, froyos, and other counterpart. One thing I feel sets it apart from the rest is that the variety of flavors and topping sets it apart from others. You simply can't also beat the depth of flavor the ice cream brings! For first time venturers, this is definitely true to what the real experience is in northern states, where ice cream rolls are more common! Although you can argue that it may be pricey, you have to keep in mind that part of the price comes with presentation and formation of the ice cream rolls! They're not skimpy with toppings and unlimited sauces too! All in all, I definitely recommend it a go! It offers a fusion and combination of Asian and American tastes and the experience is noteworthy! read more

I love it! As a first experience with rolled ice cream I was very happy with my experience and product! The price seemed spot on and well worth the value of the product. I felt like the workers were working really hard to mix and scrape, so I'm glad I tipped before hand. Cute themes and yummy taste. I got the unicorn flavor w/ gummy bears, cheese cake bites, and graham crackers. I would definitely recommend the unicorn. Cute interiors and friendly staff. read more

This is my fourth visit. Interesting menu and quality ingredients. Friendly and engaging staff. Well lit and clean. The availability of boardgames makes it a fun spot. Best rolled ice cream in Gainesville. Would've gone with higher stars but the staff needs more food safety training. Second time that the cashier had gloves on and either handled cash or credit cards and then proceeded to make the ice cream without changing gloves. Gloves become contaminated just as easily as a worker's hands. read more

The boba flavors were very few and they were all gross. The frozen yogurt toppings were disappointing. What a ruined birthday dessert.

I downloaded yelp JUST to leave a review for this place. First off, like others who've gone here, the place smells bad, almost like sewage or something. it was so bad i almost didn't order anything. Next, when i got up to order I asked for plain chocolate rolled ice cream and the lady behind the counter tried to charge me $8 for the 's'mores' flavored ice cream even tho i wasn't getting any of the toppings. i decided to not get anything after that even though i made the 20 minute drive across town JUST for it. If all of this wasn't bad enough, one of workers kids was running ramped throughout the store not only disturbing me and my group, but other customers as well. The child kept grabbing my hand and crawling between my legs and even touching my friends butt. I even witnessed the kid hitting other customers in there, meanwhile the worker did anything about it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! read more
