The vanilla latte and berry crepe were absolutely delicious--both were perfectly made and full of flavor. I also really enjoyed the French onion soup, which was rich and comforting. What really stood out was the exceptional service. KJ was phenomenal--he checked in on every customer and made sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. His attentiveness and thoughtfulness truly elevated the entire experience. It's rare to see that level of genuine care in customer service. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for both delicious treats and outstanding hospitality.

Wanted something sweet and Cia di Gelateria sounded perfect. We walked in and it wasn't busy. We…read morewere warmly greeted and browsing some of the flavors. We noticed the mango and they said the mango paired well with their sticky rice. I had to pause. Sticky rice gelato?? I was definitely sold! So obviously we had to get the mango sorbet and sticky rice. We also got the mango and lemon meringue. Each cup came with a mini cone or a wafer and we picked a cone. The sticky rice and mango sorbet were like heaven. Literally heaven. I'm never in Folsom but I will need to come back for this flavor. The idea of making sticky rice into gelato was genius but then combining with mango was just next level. I will be dreaming of this flavor. We were enjoying it so much I never got to take pictures. That's when I know something is good. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. They were lots of regulars coming in and out. The store is also adorably decorated and clean. There's a good amount of seating inside. Again if we lived near by we would be here all the time!

Cia is deliziosa!…read more This charming petite shop has amazing customer service, and is the perfect gelateria. If you haven't been to Italy, these flavors will immediately transport your tastebuds to Italy. If you have been to Italy, this will immediately bring those memories back. The staff is incredibly helpful, super sweet, and really make the shop with their great personalities. Add in the best gelato around, and this is a must try for everyone. They have gelato bars that are dipped in chocolate. There is a limited number, and they definitely run out of flavors. This is a great thing because it's a testament to how delicious they're offering are. I missed out on the rum raisin, which I absolutely will be going back to get. Offer a variety of flavors that can be scooped into a cup or a cone, and they do have toppings, should you decide you want to make a traditional ice cream sundae so to speak. I was able to try several flavors, and quite frankly, they were all so tasty. It was difficult to really decide, and I ended up with the chocolate and cappuccino. Such a great flavor combo! The chocolate was decadent, rich, and the depth of the flavor was perfection. The cappuccino made me feel like I was back in Italy, sitting outside of a café, sipping a cappuccino to start my day. We also ordered a cup with mango and cookies and cream. Yes, it sounds like an odd combo, but somehow it just worked. The mango tastes just like the fruit. It's incredibly refreshing! The cookies and cream is very light and because it is authentically Italian it doesn't have that funky aftertaste that sometimes cookies and cream can. Everything is authentically Italian and authentically amazing! They are located in a shopping center, so there's plenty of free parking. There is seating both indoors and outdoors, Please add this wonderful place to your list of must tries for when you're in the Folsom area.

The space itself is great: big, open, bright, and with high ceilings that make it feel comfortable instead of cramped. I was especially excited to see a matcha latte menu, so of course I had to try it. I ordered the matcha crème brûlée with oat milk (they do charge $0.95 for that), light ice, and paired it with a Hot Cheeto cheese dog and a side of ranch. The matcha only comes in a 16oz. The matcha really impressed me. The color was dark and the flavor was nicely bitter, which I loved because it actually tasted like matcha instead of being drowned out by sugar or milk. The crème brûlée topping had a legit crisp to it and added just the right amount of creaminess without overpowering the drink. Super balanced and really satisfying. And the Hot Cheeto cheese dog? So good!Crunchy, cheesy, and that classic corndog flavor with ranch on the side was a perfect combo. Everything hit the spot, and I'll definitely be back especially for the matcha. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the area!

I appreciated that they have latosse options. In addition to the sweet drinks and treats, they also have savory options. The vibe was great. They have great decor, cute music, great lighting, etc. They even have cute stickers for sale and a toy crane machine game. When you first come in there's the register and menu right away. Staff was also helpful with the menu. They seemed sweet and friendly too. If you read the bad reviews, I'd keep in mind that they're 3+ years old. Everyone has different experiences and for me, it was great. The only problem will be is not to come too much. There's so much to try.

From the moment we arrived, you could tell this was going to be different. Everything felt thoughtful and intentional. The food was genuinely delicious not just pretty to look at. The truffle egg sandwiches and ham and cheese were standouts, and they even made a lovely veggie option for my mom without hesitation. The tea itself was exactly what you hope for in a true high tea experience high-quality loose leaf teas with a great selection. You can really taste the difference. And the scones... finally, real scones. Paired with clotted cream, they were rich, soft, and just right. We also started with warm, crispy crumpets that were such a treat and honestly set the tone for the whole experience. What made it even better was knowing everything is baked and prepared fresh the same day. You can taste that care in every bite. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole afternoon feel even more special. If you're looking for a proper high tea experience that actually lives up to the idea this is it.

Handel's is a crowd pleaser with the whole family every time with the variety of flavors they have, vintage diner ambiance and amazingly friendly staff. I've had some delicious sundaes scooped by Ashley L, I'd highly recommend asking for her next time you're in! You won't leave the shop thinking "dang, they cheated me on my scoop!" but instead the exact opposite because I'm sure you'll be walking out with more than you can stomach. 15/10 spot, don't miss it!

They are serving some small bites to taste at the cashier and the flavors are not your usual. Can you imagine a limoncello flavored chocolate?! I tried it and it was delicious!

The staff are very friendly and will gladly accommodate requests and make recommendations based on your preference. It's a nice little shop with cozy sitting areas. My friend I went there during Christmas season and the decorations will make you want to sip hot chocolate and just enjoy the sweet moment. I ordered the hot mocha, which normally I wouldn't order because most places just serve it like sweet coffee that has an overpowering chocolate taste but not at The Chocolate Architect. Their hot mocha is legit mix of espresso and cocoa, the good quality cocoa. I highly recommend this place!

What an amazing concept... beer/wine pairings with chocolate...okay - sign me up!…read more While I wasn't able to get the full experience (we had just finished dinner and couldnt really fit another bite/sip and were just exploring the Palladio), I was able to talk to one of the workers - Melissa - who let me know all about the business and their offerings. Can I just say- when someone loves what they do- it shows and really makes the experience so much better! I loved Melissa's personality and she was so sweet and patient to answer any questions we had. They always have chocolate samples and she even offered me a sample of the 3 wine slushie flavors they had. I tried the lavendar chocolate and the pink barbie rosé slushie, blue hawaian chardonnay slushie, and chocolate (I think red blend based) mint slushie. All were so nice and refreshing on a warm almost summer day. Melissa also showed us all the different flights and pairings they do and how she came to work there and her experience there. I loved her back story and her passion for the business. As for the ambiance, there is a small area to sit inside with some chairs and tables and even more comfy cushiony options and also an outdoor patio where you can enjoy people watching outside and live music nearby on Friday nights (when weather is nice) I definitely wanna return and get the full experience, but from those 10 minutes of being there - I know what a great spot it is. Definitely go check it out.

What used to be a satisfying treat now feels like a shrunken, overpriced version of itself. The quality has dropped off massively. It used to be soft, fresh, and soaked in that sweet, buttery goodness. Now? It tasted and felt like it had been sitting out all day, honestly reminded me of a stale Little Caesars pizza box. And it's not just the bread, their doughnuts are just as underwhelming. They look great on display, but that's about it. They're dry, crumbly, and clearly not fresh, as if they've been sitting around for days. Style over substance. What's worse is that while quality and portion size have gone down, the prices have somehow gone up. Hard to justify coming back after this. Service was buttery smooth. At least something was good
