“Must try Affogato!! Espresso poured over Vanilla ice cream or over your favorite ice cream. Delicious 😋“

“Really fantastic gelato. There was a well-deserved line around the building and the guys working handled the rush wonderfully. Gelato worth the drive from SF, and the owner is lovely. I had espresso and chocolate. My husband had pistachio and ginger cookie (speculoos). The pistachio was in the top 3 of pistachio flavored things I have ever tasted. Bravo on the flavors. Tout était délicieux! 👨‍🍳 💋 🍨“

“I love supporting small businesses and this place is the Best! I love their Lavazza cappuccino and pastries especially the cannolis! Got to try the vegetariana sandwich today and it was the best vegetarian sandwich I’ve had! Super cute spot and very kind people!“

“100% the best froyo in the city. Every spoonful was delightful. The toppings were fresh, and the flavors were amazing. It has turned into a routine to get this froyo. If you are anywhere near this place do yourself a favor and make the trip, It is worth it.“

“I came across here on a beautiful day and was craving for some ice cream. Was greeted and welcomed by one of their friendly staffs, she explained to me they offer ice cream and gelatos and the different flavors they carry. They also have many things to choose from, such as sundaes, milkshakes, boba drinks, smoothies, mangonadas, etc. It’s a cool little spot in the neighborhood that definitely attracts customers like myself. Definitely will be back!“

“It’s really creamy delicious! Highly recommended. 😋“

“Phil Taylor is a wonderful Host. He cordially welcomes songwriters from all over the globe to perform songs in the round style. It’s a great way to share one’s music and meet other like minded folks. I had a wonderful time 1/7/23. Looking forward to a future opportunity to perform my music. I definitely recommend this group.“

“This is a charming ice cream shop on broadway Burlingame. They have a great selection of tasty hand crafted ice creams, yogurts , sorbets, chocolates and candies. It's an ice cream shop that fulfill the most posh of taste. My favorite is the Ube ice cream . Its so luscious , thick and creamy texture with a mellow, subtle nutty, and a hint of vanilla flavor. Location is great. It's on broadway Burlingame next to Walgreens. Meter spots , parking lots , and 2 hrs of free parking available. Cute ambience and the entire staff is attentive and welcoming.“

“good Italian ice cream so good“

“Great service, delicious treats, and lovely patio for outdoor dining💕“

“Crumbl cookies are famously large and incredibly sweet. While many of their flavors are enticing, I'd love to see some less sweet options introduced to balance the richness.

Peanut Butter Crisp featuring Butterfinger (4.5/5): This cookie delivered on its promise with a great peanut butter flavor and a satisfying crunch from the Butterfinger pieces. A truly enjoyable fusion.

Cake Batter (4/5): This was less a cookie and more a mini cake! The confetti cookie base was delightful, and the cream cheese-like frosting added a nice touch, but it was exceptionally sweet.“

“se te hace agua la boca 🤤 The food is BOOOOMB, bomb.com!!! The Crepes are AMAZING 🤩 The esquites are magically delicious 😋 and the customer service is great 👍🏻 super friendly and nice. Definitely our favorite place to snack at whenever we are in San Francisco“

“Happiness in a cup. And a cone 😁“

“Awesome liquid to frozen rolled ice cream.“

“This place doesn’t look like a place trying to impress anyone. It looks like a shop that has been doing one thing long enough to know what shortcuts ruin. The counter is small, the room unadorned, the kind of space where quality hides in plain sight because the people making it assume you’ll figure it out on your own.

Cannoli demand precision. If the shell softens, you failed. If the filling weeps, you rushed. If the ricotta is grainy or heavy or over-sugared, you didn’t understand its behavior under temperature and time. Romolo’s gets all of this right.

The shells are made the way people make things they intend to stand behind. Not brittle, not oily, not collapsing under pressure. They have that snap you only get when dough has been rolled to the correct thickness and fried at the right temperature, long enough to blister but not blister apart. You can tell someone here still listens to the sound of the shell when it cools.

The filling is clean, balanced, and confident. No perfumed overcompensation. No reckless sweetness meant to distract from inferior ricotta. This is filling made by people who understand ratio and restraint. The texture stays smooth because the ricotta was drained properly, not hurried. There’s discipline in that step alone. Most places skip it. Romolo’s doesn’t.

What impressed me most is how the cannoli hold structure on the way home. Ricotta interacts with pastry the way moisture interacts with almost anything that should remain crisp: it wants to weaken it. But Romolo’s fills to order, and they fill with judgment. Enough to satisfy, not enough to compromise the shell before you get to experience the contrast that makes cannoli worth eating in the first place.

The people behind the counter treat you the way good shops do. Direct, warm in a grounded way, the kind of friendliness that seems rooted in pride more than choreography. They hand over the box carefully, as if they know what they made can survive the trip but also know that respect is part of the craft.

This place doesn’t rely on nostalgia or theatrics. It relies on technique. On the quiet confidence of a place that has figured out what works and kept doing it. You taste repetition, patience, and the refusal to let a simple dessert become sloppy.

If you want a cannoli that proves why the thing exists at all, this is the place“

“Great place, and self serve so the kids portion are appropriately sized.“

“gluten free, vegan, coconut based froyo! yum!“

“the ice cream barista Alexander remembered that I have a habit of ordering my dulce de leche milkshake, paying for it, and coming back to pick it up a couple minutes later (because i need to pick up my shake shack order from downstairs). I just like it when ppl remember my specific order Alexander is a real one. W barista, W milkshake frfr.“

“If you're in the area and looking for takeout while on a budget this is a great option. The owner is very kind to all of her customers. She also gives very generous portions. The food is decent but the decor is dated. I wouldn't recommend dining in but she has a few chairs for you to sit on. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Support our local businesses especially ones that treat their guests very well like this one.

Kid-friendliness: She serves ice cream if you have very picky eaters with you.“

“Great place for Asian drinks!“

“I've been going here for a few days straight this week because who doesn't have a craving for a good sundae? Three scoop sundae for $10-$11, I think, is pretty standard nowadays. Surprisingly, this place was pretty busy both days I went. It's been super cold lately, too. The kiosk or place is generally clean. Both times, I wanted to try the waffle bowls, but I couldn't help but question if it's fresh? I was surprised they still had seasonal holiday flavors like peppermint.
The menu is pretty standard, and you can make a dazzler with any flavor ice cream you like. I only wished the people who worked there spoke English. I told the lady the first day I wanted a build your own dazzler/sundae, and we weren't understanding each other. To the point, I just told her the flavor brownie a la mode and had her choose the toppings.
The sundae itself melts fast because of the hot fudge, but I just love the yummy gooeiness of it all. Something about it is so comforting. Even as it melted, I drank every last drop like chocolate milk or a melted milkshake...good to the last drop.“

“My go to flavor is pralines and cream. But my kids always have the chocolate shakes. This place always fills us with joy and sugar 🤣🤣.. gotta love it!!“

“First thing first the workers are really kind and yes one of the questions is what if you ask for a sample they will give you if you ask more than one you're the most much samples you could get is 3 and if you sign up they will give you a free a scoop of ice cream that is true that's not fake if you sign up at Baskin-Robbins they would give you one free scoop of ice cream and there are parking spots around it and there are a lot of other places close to it so yeah and overall the workers are really kind and the ice cream is really really delicious“

“Mr Nano and beautiful wife and family awesome crew awesome desserts awesome food what more can I say it reminded us of being back home in Hawaii the small shop with big personality and big plates of food just like back home thank you Mr Nano to you and your Ohana for receiving us and for having such a good hospitality keep up the good work and keep up the Beautiful Smiles much blessing to you and yours😊❤️“

“The best ice cream ever <3.I love all the favorites.“

“Yummy in the tummy !! ;) <3“

“Our friendly neighborhood ice cream shop full of delicious flavors (as expected from BR). Lots of flavors, lots of cones and decorative cups, and sundaes. They usually have 1-2 staff which can be under during busy hours but we generally go late in the evening when there is less traffic, so it’s prompt. There are plenty of ice cream cakes to go and a very cute guest seating arrangement.“

“Sara’s cookies are amazing!!! Yum Yum Yum“

“The froyo was a delicious treat. Their pistachio flavor is hand made and you can put toppings such as fresh fruit and jellies that would normally be in boba. My personal favorite flavor was the pineapple dole whip, just like Disneyland, with lychee jelly!

The store also has games and a bright atmosphere for kids. We had a great time here overall!“

“Raises the Tea bar considerably!“

“Fun people watching spot for casual meals/bites in the heart of Laurel! Can’t wait to try all of the gelato flavors.“

“tI was a hot late afternoon and we popped in for two double scoop dishes of ice cream. The sign is visible from the highway but to access the shoppe, requires driving behind the Burger King into the shopping complex. Jan ordered soy free carmel, and I ordered a blend of my favorite which is one scoop of chocolate, and one scoop of cherry. The service was prompt and the establishment clean.“

“Chè ngon , ngọt vừa phải , giá ok . Nhất định có dịp sẽ trở lại thưởng thức thêm các món chè khác .“

“We got a table right away. Cool outdoor area and attractive inside with a real tree that’s lit up and little lights. Music was interesting and I liked the vibe. Half of the beers were out of stock. But the food was good. Yummy meatball appetizer and tasty pizzas. 👍“

“Amazing! I will definitely be going back again soon“

“The owners are awesome and I'd definitely come back again! :D“

“Tea World is my favorite boba shop in Pacifica.“

“Their pupusas are pretty tasty, the salsa and curtido as well. The older gentleman working there was nice enough, but there was a girl that didn’t respond in the slightest when I told her thank you and to have a nice day. I mean, I don’t care if she had a nice day. I was just being polite. And she didn’t even look at me throughout our interaction. Just handed me my food, with a sort of “hurry up and leave” attitude. I mean, she doesn’t have to look at me either. I know I’m hideous. I dunno, I’m from the midwest. People make eye contact and exchange niceties out there. I guess I won’t bother being polite here. No one cares anyway. Hahaha“
