“A creamy dream! The Taro Milk Tea is beautifully rich with a smooth, vanilla-like flavor that keeps me coming back. I also tried the Matcha Latte with egg pudding; it perfectly balances earthy, premium green tea with a sweet creaminess. The customization options for sweetness and ice let you tailor it to your exact craving.“

“Phenomenal ice cream! We were hooked from all
of the flavors listed online. We came in and were able to try an abundance of flavors to make sure we got the ones we wanted.

My favorite of the four was the sweet peaches and biscuit flavor while my wife’s favorite flavor was butter cake.

We enjoyed every bite and it was pretty cheap in comparison to other places!

Now I’m hooked to where I will probably only buy Jeni’s if I need ice cream at the grocery store!

Very happy to have ended the night with this spot.

Also the waffle bowl you can definitely tell is homemade and had a smoky texture to it!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Zed's! Due to a scheduling mix-up on our end, the shop opened an hour early just for our group, and Sage (the only employee working that morning) could not have been kinder. He was incredibly patient, welcoming, and engaging with all of the kids, making the experience fun and memorable for everyone. Even while managing everything on his own, he never seemed rushed and took the time to answer questions and interact with the children. Sage truly went above and beyond. Thank you, Sage, and thank you, Zed's, for making our visit so special!“

I will absolutely bring her back to our next event!“

“Noam's Gelato and Bean is an absolute delight and one of the most charming spots I have discovered in Austin. The gelato is rich, creamy and bursting with incredible flavor and every single scoop feels like a little moment of happiness. The coffee is equally fantastic, smooth and expertly prepared making this the perfect combination of two great things in one place. The shop has a wonderful cozy atmosphere and the staff is warm, friendly and always happy to help you pick your next favorite flavor. Whether you stop by for a coffee in the morning or a gelato treat in the afternoon, Noam's never disappoints. An absolute must visit.“

“My husband and I came here because I was craving a mangonada. We ended up leaving here with so many paletas and some coffee! The owners are very sweet and helpful, and everything tastes SO FRESH!! The paletas de mango remind me of Mexico. It's hard to find something so refreshing, and you can actually taste the mango! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Dolce Bacio Gelato was such a hit at our wedding! Everyone loved it, the gelato was absolutely delicious, super creamy, and the perfect treat for a warm wedding night. They had so many amazing flavors that our guests couldn’t stop going back for more! The setup was beautiful, the service was friendly and professional, and it added such a fun, unique touch to reception. Huge thank you to the Dolce Bacio Gelato team for making our night extra sweet, we can’t recommend them enough!!!“

“Great coffee and desserts. A lot of the people not recommending seem to be haters from social media who have never even been to the establishment.“

“Soooo good! We got a few different flavors and all were incredible. We will definitely be back 🍨“

“Discovered this place on a whim, as I did not want regular ice cream.
I got the medium with mango sticky rice & lychee rose, both of these did not disppoint. Actual flavor bombs and not overly sweet!
I am definitely coming back to try the other flavors!“

“First time having real fruit in my snow cone, didn't know it was an option LOL! I forgot the name of mine but it was the name was something bridal I think. It's strawberry flavored with cream and real strawberries not only on top but throughout the entire thing 🤤 my son got the tiger blood and blue raspberry flavors mixed together. Will definitely come back when passing through the area!“

“Come hungry cause you’ll want to try everything. All the ice creams, strawberries and cream, Dubai choc, sandwiches, hotdogs, elote, walking nachos, and every flavor horchata. The cakes and pastries look amazing and we will definitely come back for a birthday cake.“

“yummy. had good options. i got mucho mango and strawberry cheesecake and it had inclusions of the corresponding flavor - chunks of mango and chunks of strawberry cheesecake - and the chunks were a good size to where it seemed like you actually chucked a mango into your ice cream as a topping. so that was nice. about 7$ for two scoops in a cup / cone but that’s a good price for it being a small business and the location it’s at“
