High quality, icey cold, not overly fatty icecream. Reminds me of homemade from my childhood. Wonderfully creative flavors, and yet their vanilla is simply divine. And that bittersweet chocolate sauce is the bomb!

This ice cream tastes irresistible of it's breathtaking flavors! A yummy stunning flavor in my opinion is the cookies and coffee! I strongly suggest that you go to Tara's Ice cream to get this irresistible piece of work that will leave you speechless!

Flavorful! Not too sugary! Their cones are delish! Service was fine. I'm thinking the clerk should have offered us to taste the different flavors since I had some questions. Other than that, she was ok. Ambience is good - a little small but enough. I'll be there again when I'm in the area!

Incredible ice cream, worth every penny! Lavender and rose were out of this world!

This is my favorite ice cream shop in the Bay Area (if not the world). They have unique flavors like geranium and cardamom, which I love. I also appreciate that their recipes aren’t overly sweet.I see some reviews saying that prices are high compared to most places, but I understand that’s what prices *should* be to provide fair wages to employees and use organic ingredients that are good for us and the planet. (Most ice cream prices are artificially low because of hidden costs paid by the workers and environment.)

One of my favorite ice cream places in the Bay Area! Why? * They have a baby size option (pictured)! For those who love ice cream after a meal but can't seem to finish a small, I appreciate that there's a baby option. * The cones are really unique. They taste like a thin butter waffle cookie. They're mildly sweet with a hint of saltiness which works well with the sweetness of the ice cream. * So many unique flavors! We got Jasmine Green Tea and Black Sesame. Both of the flavors were strong :) They allow for a sample taste of 2 flavors/person. The service was fine--the staff was quick. The shop itself isn't really decorated, but it looks clean. There are some benches outside to enjoy the ice cream.

Great service. Amazing ice cream. I like the cardamom flavor

Finally got to check this shop out and so glad I did. The baby scoops are the perfect serving when you want just a little ice cream to satisfy your sweet tooth. They offer a lot of unique flavors and I enjoyed all of the ones I sampled: jasmine green tea, avocado, and geranium. The ice cream itself is perfectly sweet & deliciously creamy. Server was nice & patient while I chose my flavors. There are a couple seats indoor and a few more outdoor. Can't wait to come back to try more flavors with their cones!

$16 a pint. Wow, just wow. Ice cream was OK but nothing amazing. I am amazed this business exists given the prices.

Tiny portions, high prices and flavorless ice cream. An all-around disappointment.
This is our family’s favorite ice cream in the Bay Area, and we have tried quite a number of places. The ice cream tastes great with good unique favors, the sesame cones are to die for, the scoop sizes are just right for me, and the cherry on top is that it’s organic so I can convince myself it’s healthier!

The flavors here are incredible and unique. More than worth the prices.

I'm quite the ice cream aficionado, and would say this is on the lower end of good ice cream. It's much worse than Bi-Rite, the flavors are very dull and it's not as creamy either. I definitely had some nice icy chunks which is a big minus for me. There are much better ice cream spots in the city.

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Gelato and Tara Organic Ice Cream in Berkeley. The moment I stepped in, the vibrant display of flavors caught my eye, and I was in for a treat. The gelato and ice cream selections were extensive, offering both classic and unique flavors. I was impressed by the use of organic ingredients, which translated into incredibly fresh and flavorful scoops.The staff was friendly and patient as I sampled various flavors before making my decision. The texture of the gelato was smooth and creamy, while the ice cream had a rich and indulgent quality. The attention to detail in presentation and taste was evident in every scoop.

5 stars for the ice cream, 3 stars for the price. 10.50+tip for a medium cone with 2 scoops, common... I can get a tub of ice cream at Costco for that price. Lower your prices and customers will want to return
