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
