Coconut With Dulce De Leche Pint
Sweet coconut gelato with coconut flecks and rivers of dulce de leche. No paddles needed for this trip -- let the warm tropical air lead you home!
Swiss Chocolate Pint
Milk Chocolate gelato with chocolate chips and ribbons of dulce de leche. Think of it as a deconstructed candy bar except this one will have you chatting the night away with your favorite demon, Mephistopheles.
Peanut Butter Stracciatella Pint
Creamy natural peanut butter with dark chocolate chips - a peanut butter cup for the yearning masses.
Coffee and Cookies Pint
This flavor marks a storied Dolcezza tradition of shameless combinations of our favorite (legal) drugs -- caffeine and chocolate. Juiced-up coffee gelato, chocolate-covered speculoos-nugs, littered with delicate chocolate flakes.Mind-altering gelato without the destruction of life, limb, and property.
Vanilla Bean Pint
This vanilla is all about body and warmth. We use both vanilla extract and vanilla beans from Madagascar which has a profile that is earthy, round, and slightly sweet. Amazing on its own - even better on a slice of apple pie. Pair it with any baked item to attain hero status.

Dark Chocolate Pint
The number one seller in our cafes, the venerable dark chocolate. Bittersweet, earthy with a slightly smokey finish. We call it frozen fudge -- to go any darker is not recommended.

Black & White Cookie Batter Pint
Peanut Butter Mash Pint
Now that's what I call gelato vol 21. Rich peanut butter gelato. salty chocolate covered pretzels. chopped peanut butter cups grooving on monster waves of dulce de leche. Enter the mash pit and jam all night to the sweet soundtrack of an uncompromising youth.
Sorbet Orange Honey Cardamom Pint
*sorbet*Freshly-squeeze oranges with honey to add warmth and a pinch of cardamom for spice and complexity. You've never had a glass or orange juice like this.
Dulce de Leche & Cookies Pint
Dulce de Leche & Cookies is a uniquely Argentine gelato flavor. The flavor itself is cream base with ribbons of dulce de leche and chocolate pearls folded in. It's a love song to the great milk and dulce de leche of Argentina and a staple of gelato parlors in Argentina.

The best almond croissant and blueberry matcha! I got regular size blueberry matcha and an almond croissant and paid 15$ - a little overpriced. One star deducted is for that reason. Nice ambience and I usually don’t like matcha that much much this one was fire!

Fantastic gelato! We got the banana split, blackberry cream, and black and white cookie flavors. All were wonderful :) And friendly service! Only thing to note is very limited indoor seating.

Excellent hot chocolate - we tried both the seasonal one as well as the classic, both great.
Service was also excellent: kind, super attentive and helpful. We will be back.
