We had many flavors of gelato here. Pistachio is particularly great! Service was fast. There was a line to get the gelato but moved quickly.

I ordered the Vegan Sandwich close to closing, and it was pretty busy, which was a great sign. Super nice and bright inside with lots of colorful stuff to look at. My sandwich took longer than 2 seconds to make which is a GOOD thing, the cook took time preparing it and it ended up being amazing. Based on the amount of people rolling into here and the super nice workers, you can instantly tell this is a good place Would definitely recommend. And look at how my sandwich was served with the napkins… ingenious!! So good

The gelato was good and it wasn’t busy when we went (about 7:30pm). They have some chairs outside to sit and enjoy your desert. They have a lot of flavors to choose from.

The staff was super pleasant and polite, letting us taste and choose our ice cream. Their ice cream was super delicious and unique. They have a bunch of flavours and sizing opinions. They had a huge variety of unique flavours that I only found in several stores in SF( like green tea, black sesame, etc). Their pricing was also very fair. Overall I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for great service and ice cream!!
