Customer Reviews

Ice Cream better than regular ice cream
Reviewed by lilgirl5638 on 2009-03-03T07:29:23Z

Gelato Blu is 10 times better than starbucks, and you can watch tv or surf the web. I highly recommend it. The staff there is friendly and outgoing. The owner is great too, I watched him give a bowl of water to a customers puppy. How nice of him huh? That's what you call great customer service. They also won the best Gelato of the Year!!

Pros: Location is part of a small shopping strip, so you can go do your nails, or go tanning.

Cons: The place should be bigger so more people can fit in there.

Gelato Blue keeps you coming back for more ! This beats Paciugo by far with its seasonal flavors, ingenuity, and pleasant cafe atmosphere. The owner really wants to get to know his customers and is always open for suggestions on flavors. I visit Gelato Blu weekly since I know no two visits will ever be the same.

Absolutely Incredible Gelato!

Best I've ever had. The "Pistachio" in particular, is like nothing you've ever tasted. So fresh and flavorful. I also love the strawberry and every other flavor I've tasted. The handmade cones are incredible, too. Really, you have to try this place!

Pros: Best gelato in town

Cons: none

We stopped by the other day after hearing about this from some friends. It was everything they said it was. Absolutely the best gelato outside of Italy -- perhpas even better than most there anyway. Great variety and outstanding customer service in a place that was immaculately clean and spotless. What a nice change from so many other dining establishments! They will let you taste everything you like until you have found your perfect choice. The flavors change very often -- stop by!

I've gone there 5 or 6 times and enjoyed the large selection of flavors. The customer service has always been great, and they sometimes offer free gelato if you agree to sing a song of their choice! :) It's a great date place my husband and I like to go to after dinner to top off the evening.
