Excellent gelato and fast service. They only have about 6 flavors so it makes choosing much easier ?

Nice gem in Montclair. I stopped in for pistachio flavored gelato after dinner at a restaurant nearby. The flavor was amazing and there were other options to choose from in addition to coffee. There are tables inside and outside to sit at. I look forward to coming back to try other flavors and treats on the menu.

Authentic gelato great choice of flavors, pistachio and espresso are really good, friendly service, on a nice street with outdoor seating - great summer experience. Feels like a taste of Europe in

gelato: the flavors were amazing. it tasted pretty dang good. but it felt more like soft serve so i was kind of confused with the texture. but flavor is nice nonetheless. the gelatos are made fresh there right in front of you. i got the espresso flavor but i tried mango and pistachio as well.
value: its pricey for sure for the portion size. but it is also being made fresh there so it is understandable. i think flavor also justifies the price but i think i was just thrown off a bit by the texture. there was also a discrepancy between how much each of us got even though we all got the same size which was kind of odd (one of us got a huge mountain while one barely got a hill)
service: it was a very in and out type of feeling. didn’t feel very warm and welcoming. kind of just what do you want? okay here. pay. bye.
vibe: seating both inside and outside. it’s a cute spot for sure.
overall i liked the taste but not the biggest fan of the soft serve texture. i was expecting a more silky feeling but maybe it just wasn’t ready at that moment. i would recommend bc i would return to try the other flavors but not frequently bc it is expensive.

On par with gelato you get in Italy. Especially the Hazelnut and Pistachio classic Italian combo.

I want to like this place more than I do. The reason I gave only 3 stars (and wanted to do even less) is because the options are limited but really - why I go for gelato is to get an affogato and I’m sorry but most of the staff here don’t know how to make them. It’s crazy. Like a cup FULL of gelato with a shot poured over it. The owner should teach the young staff how to make an actual affogato not a bowl of gelato with an espresso dripped on it.

I was there this afternoon. The two young gentlemen that assisted us were polite and so professional. The chai was good and the ice cream was delicious. Congratulations to the management for the team they have.

Great service and very tasty gelato! Nice spot to grab dessert after having dinner in the Montclair area. Service was great. I wish they had more dairy-free options.

Delicious ice cream and lots of variety, the employees are very cool
This place is a 10 and the gelato/ice cream is a solid 10. The flavors are really specialty. The coffee with biscotti was heavenly.. the ice creams are soft and fresh.. I loved that it’s v v clean and charming. They have lots of Italian cookies and if you are a amaretti cookies fan like you can get some here. Also serving size is very diet friendly..I recommend Nutella, mascarpone.. will be a regular here
Kid-friendliness: Definitely the kiddie friendly

We were strolling in downtown Montclair and needed a place to have a seat in a warm beverage. We ended up getting a decaf cappuccino and this bag of Italian cookies, were amazing. We also had a scoop of the gelato. Which was very delicious, smooth and creamy. The staff were really friendly, at some point a group of about 10 teenagers came in and it was a bit crowded but other than that it was a pretty quiet and relaxed environment with only about three tables. Maybe they have outside tables when it's warmer but we were there in January.

WOW! I stopped by after creating candles next door at Alchemy and enjoyed the best pistachio gelato I've ever had! I ordered a small which was more than enough to cure my sweet tooth.
Whenever I need my gelato fix, I'll definitely be back for the pistachio flavor!
