About Sideshow Gelato

Sideshow Gelato offers a cool and unique environment with entertaining staff. Their amazing house-made gelato, including vegan options, features a more interesting variety of flavors than your average location. The quirky kids side shows and adult entertainment create an 80s retro vibe. Customers enjoy the welcoming owner and the cute atmosphere, which feels like a visit to an old-timey carnival, complete with sidecars to sit in. It's a great spot for kid/family outings, date nights, or nights out with friends.

While many people grab their gelato and go, it's recommended to enjoy the atmosphere, as the staff may perform a bit of magic or circus silliness even outside scheduled shows. The shows themselves are extremely cute and family-friendly, especially during neighborhood festivals when special acts like Spidora the Spider-Woman entertain with delightful humor. Gelato melts fast, but the generous portions and unique flavors make the overall experience definitely recommended.
