Location, Location always la ubicación… Pronto’s atmosphere is inviting wrapping you in white. Kind of pulls you in… Today within a packed crowd, a Mocca in a mug… text book prep, with artistry, lovely. Next time a pour over…Salud!

I'm visiting this area so I went 2 days in a row. First day I got the double Affogato espresso with Vanilla gelato!! Basically 2 LavAzza shots of espresso poured over the Vanilla gelato. Perfect combo of hot and cold! The service was fast and the place was clean! I went back the next day I for more but they ran out of the vanilla so I tried it with the chocolate hazelnut. I recommend the Vanilla. There were only two tables in the front were the windows were and I was lucky to grab one. I will be back for more! Update: Back In Lexington and Pronto cafe. Their caprese roasted tomatoes and mozzarella sandwich is definitely worth trying. If you come in early look for a pastry called Sfoigliatella it was delicious and they go fast!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Michael Gracey · Jul 2022

I visited late on a Saturday afternoon on an impulse after seeing the sign for this gelateria and glad I did. Two friendly student-age attendants greeted me upon entering and explained what I was viewing through the glass and how their products were house-made. The atmosphere was understandably quiet with a couple of other customers in this relatively small shop. The interior looked very clean and inviting, so I decided to get a scoop of lemon and lime gelatos for a citrusy nod to summer. The flavors were as predictably bright as the texture was smooth and for between $5-$10, I felt like I was able to satisfy my indulgence just enough before leaving. With the number and variety of flavors, I could definitely sample a great many of the other offerings and maybe even one of the drinks to go

10/10 such a gem, bummed to not be a local and get to enjoy this spot anytime! Stopped in to take double espressos to-go to make a protein coffee on our own. The espresso was so good and made our homemade protein drink taste fantastic. So we decided later that morning to go back to try a cappuccino. Best. Cappuccino. Ever. I mean- what a delight. The barista who prepared it was kind enough to explain the sizes and how to receive one in a cup vs a to-go cup. I watched her make it with skill & care. And the taste was exceptional. If all cappuccinos tasted like that it would become my go-to coffee drink. The foam was dense and smooth, such a balanced drink. The sugar provided was a good selection, the disposable silverware was good quality, the shop was clean & a beautiful aesthetic. Vi
