Very friendly staff and the soft serve was the only option when we were there. The cream was fantastic

One of the best gelatos I have had. Mascarpone with berries was super yummy.

Came here on a Sunday night for ice cream and had a great experience! Good range of flavors and a nice atmosphere. It was fairly busy, with a short wait before ordering and all the tables full. The small cup comes with two flavors and is ~$8. Pricey for the size, but it is expected for Dupont. I haven’t tried the coffee yet, but it seems like it would be a great spot, and I would love to come back.

My experience here was average. The cold brew was too bitter for cold brew (might be over brewed) and the added syrup was not flavorful. The cold brew was filled with ice and I definitely did not get my money's worth.

The gelato and sorbetto are not worth the price in my opinion. Extremely sweet and extremely expensive for what it is.

The best black sesame latte I've had, the black sesame taste was so strong! Would love to try their other coffees

I came across this gelateria during my after-dinner walk in Dupont Circle last night. It looks lovely so I suggested coming here for dessert after dinner in Columbia Heights before heading back to our hotel in Foggy Bottom.I love the vibe and decor inside. There is long communal table in the seating area but we opted for the stools by the window to people watch.We shared a large cup with black sesame, coconut dulce de leche, and peanut butter cup. I love the rich and bold flavour of the black sesame but the coconut dulce de leche was very refreshing, particularly after a big dinner.

The shop is super cute and is hidden among the higher end designer stores. It has a really small amount of seating, but it's a small place where adding more seating would make it overwhelming. I was looking for a unique flavor of gelato, and settled on black and white cookie batter. It was good, but I noticed chunks of ice in the gelato and it tasted freezer burnt. The employees also seemed very quiet and while they got my order out fast, they were scant with their recommendations for flavors despite having a decent variety. The star of the show here is definitely the coffee - it tasted fresh and had a beautiful blend of flavors. I'd skip the gelato but definitely come here for the coffee!

Gelato was AMAZING! Store was a little bit cold. The service was straight fire no cap. Except one girl was kind of annoying. She made faces at me when I changed my order.-9 year old

A small cute little shop centrally located in DuPont Circle area serving some amazing gelatos, coffees and the famous hot chocolate. Seating is limited but you can usually find a spot for a couple. We tried their affogato with dark chocolate, hot chocolate and both were yummy. Their portions are decent hence would recommend getting a small serving if it’s just for one. Try them out today!
