The best gelato in town! You must try their delicious flavors. It feels freshly made. Priced are between $7-$10. The service is great.

🍦New Gelato Spot Alert at Balboa Island! Just stumbled upon the newest gem on the island, and it's gelato heaven! 😍 This place just opened, and trust me, you’re going to want to check it out. Award winning gelato.🏆 I was at their Grand Opening on Saturday & have been back multiple times - beautiful store, friendly staff, amazing selection of gelato flavors and sorbets, all made in the store with fresh ingredients. So many delicious flavors to choose from – perfect for a sunny day by the water! My favorite is the delicious vibrant dragonfruit sorbet and coconut sorbet. Come out and pick your favorite flavor (or two, or three!). Let’s support our local spots and treat ourselves to some amazing gelato while you're at it. 🍨💙

Truly the best gelato I have ever had. I got the mango and it tasted like you’re legitimately eating a ripe right off the tree mango. It is so good and so smooth not icy at all. I also got the chocolate covered strawberry and it just tastes like you’re eating chocolate covered strawberries right out of the box. The flavors are so unique and absolutely delicious! The customer service is also super amazing, and Jonathan was super helpful and so kind! My new favorite place on Balboa Island and will always make this place a must stop when in town!!!

I'm so glad there is an artisanal gelato on the island. There are so many delicious flavors; authentic, rich, and creamy. There are plenty of flavors for everybody, including sorbet (for guests that can't have dairy, it's dairy-free). I love the chocolate mint. It is so refreshing. I could taste real mint. You have a choice of cup or cone (plain or dipped). Coffee, affogato, shakes, and floats are also available. There is something for everyone. The staff is friendly and attentive. The store is cute and spotless. Come get yourself the best gelato in town.
