Breakfast combo is a steal. Great options for combo that doesn’t increase the price such as oatmilk for my coffee and egg whites for my sandwich. Coffee was a little too milky for me, but overall good.
Cute little spot with delicious ice cream and friendly service! Cozy vibe and fun flavors—worth a visit.

Very chill breakfast.. think they serve lunch sandwiches too. But super chill, slow mornings or grab and go. Will definitely be back. I think the croissant sandwich could’ve used a bit more flavor but the quality was really good, flaky. Drink was good as well! Give them a try

Place us very welcoming and homy. The piñata colada was amazing and the strawberry smoothie with mango juice too! They also serve shakes, custom seasonal brews and various coffees. Definitely a returning patron here.

A True Local Favorite—GiGi’s Ice Cream & Café Never Disappoints
I’ve been a loyal customer of GiGi’s Ice Cream & Café for years, and every visit reminds me why this place is my go-to for joy, comfort, and a little neighborhood magic. It’s more than just dessert—it’s an experience that hits all the senses and never gets old.
What keeps me coming back
Signature flavors I can’t resist: GiGi’s has a fearless flavor lineup that somehow always hits the sweet spot. Classic vanilla and chocolate are always perfected, but their rotating seasonal flavors—think
creamy, scoop-perfect ice cream: Rich, smooth, and robust in flavor, the ice cream scoops have the just-right balance of creaminess and density. It’s the kind of texture you crave long after the last lick.
Welcoming, family-friendly vibe: The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with genuine warmth. The staff remembers faces and favorites, which makes every visit feel personal. It’s a place where kids feel invited to explore the menu, and adults feel like they’ve stepped into a cheerful, well-loved neighborhood hub.
Cozy ambiance with a touch of whimsy: The décor is inviting and fun, with colorful décor, comfy seating, and little nooks that are perfect for catching up with friends, sharing a birthday treat, or enjoying a quiet moment with a book and a scoop.
Service that feels like a hug
The GiGi’s team consistently nails the balance between quick service and thoughtful care. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cone during a busy afternoon or settling in for a leisurely dessert-and-chat with friends, you’ll be greeted with smiles, fast service, and an extra dollop of patience during peak times.
Consistency you can trust
One of the things I value most is that GiGi’s never feels “new” in a bad way—every visit feels familiar in all the right ways. The flavors rotate, but the core of what makes GiGi’s special—quality ingredients, mindful portions, and hospitality—stays rock solid.
Special occasions and memories
GiGi’s has a knack for turning simple moments into memories. I’ve treated family visitors to a scoopy delight! The staff always makes a little extra effort to help you celebrate, whether you’re there for a big event or a casual “just because.”
A few tips I’d share
Try the house favorite: Ask the staff what flavor is shining that day. Their enthusiasm for a hidden gem is infectious.
Consider a pairing: Pair a rich ice cream with one of their freshly baked pastries for an extra special treat.
Save room for a flight: If you’re undecided, their mini flight of scoops is a fantastic way to sample several flavors without overdoing it.
Check the seasonal specials: GiGi’s rotates flavors and café specials—great way to discover your new favorite.
Bottom line
GiGi’s Ice Cream & Café isn’t just a dessert shop; it’s a community landmark, a comfort stop, and a place where every scoop comes with a smile. If you’re in the neighborhood, it’s a must-visit for locals and visitors alike. Consistency, creativity, and warmth define GiGi’s—years in and still the top ice cream and café pick for me. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great ice cream, thoughtful cafe fare, and a little extra joy with their day.
Very cute ice cream shop that also has coffee and food. I came for a morning coffee (and was tempted to have morning ice cream).
Loved everything about Gigi’s Ice Cream Shop! The servers were so sweet, and the place was clean and cozy. We really enjoyed the iced matcha latte, iced coffee, and the butter pecan & cappuccino ice creams — all delicious. A lovely little spot worth visiting!
