What a gem of gelato! The staff greeted us right as we entered, asking us questions to help us decide which flavor would be the best for our taste profile. They provided friendly service throughout. They offer a great selection of flavors. I couldn't resist the coffee and Carmel. The location was great for visitors downtown and the ambience/seating was relaxing. We chose a corner table and people watched while we enjoyed our treats. Would definitely return to enjoy more! read more

This is an excellent gelato shop with local flavors among the traditional. The gelato itself was soft with great texture and full flavor. We sat outside and over the next 20 minutes it went from zero wait to a pretty long line extending outside. read more

Awesome stop between hikes on a hot summer afternoon. We tried few flavors before we decided on Lemon sorbetto, Fudge swirl, Dulce de leche and Boysenberry swirl. I wish I could find something negative to say on any of the flavors but truly cant - such a hit for us. read more

Yummy gelato, good price, and clean/pretty atmosphere The gelato was good, so that is enough for me to go back! I stumbled along this place and wanted to give it a try. The person helping me out was nice and I was able to try some flavors. I got 2 flavors in the small size and it was just enough! Gelato was also perfectly sweet. The place itself is pretty, with high ceilings. I went around 2pm on a Saturday and I could find a seat no problem, and there was no line. read more

We ordered the orange blossom with lime curd and the raspberry with like curd. The gelato was super creamy and easy to eat. The menu was large and it was hard to choose between the ice cream flavors. But the ones we chose went together well, based on the recommendation of staff, who were super helpful especially with samples and pairings. I like that you can get a mix of gelato even if you get a single scoop. So good and definitely recommend. The parking is street parking so it can be difficult to park very close to the establishment, but it's a short walk from various parking spots. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well. For about $6 for a single scoop, the prices are very reasonable. read more

Stopped by Bonta Gelato for an evening treat. I had the roasted strawberry and honey with the mascarpone flavors! The gelato seemed fresh with very complimentary flavors. This location is walkable downtown, but looks like they have several locations in the area. Plenty of seating available and good service! read more

A fairly famous, multiple location gelato place in the Redmond/Bend and surrounding Oregon areas. I got the roasted strawberry and peanut butter fudge for my flavors in the small cup ($5.75) which is a good deal given that they allowed sampling other flavors. The stracciatella was creamy and the chocolate ones were fairly good too, but I wasn't as in the mood for that versus the 2 flavors I got. The strawberry one is amazing but I didn't really taste a difference in a supposed roasted flavor, and the peanut butter one was flavorful. The gelato overall is good but the process could be a bit better since I felt and bit into several small ice chunks while a good gelato should be a smooth velvet-like consistency. read more

Every time I try to remember to review this place, I keep forgetting to take a picture of the ice cream before I inhale it! It's just that good. Went here on a Friday night with some friends to grab some ice cream. It really impresses me that even when it's 50° outside, there's still a line to buy this wonderfully creamy, flavorful, delicious ice cream. The place is kind of small, and this is more of a place that you grab and go. The people behind the counter are always friendly, and always willing to let you try a different flavors. One of my absolute favorite flavors is the Stracciatella. It's the perfect vanilla with nice little flakes of chocolate in it. The ice cream is smooth and thick which I absolutely love. I also had the maple bourbon pecan. This had nice chunks of pecans, with a smooth maple and bourbon flavor. It wasn't overpowering, but it was sweet enough to really play into the maple flavor. All in all, this place is absolutely wonderful. And one of my favorite places to visit whenever I come to bend. read more

The gelato was delicious and so creamy! My favorite flavor was the mascarpone flavor - I regret not taking a pint home! The servers were very sweet and gave me a few samples of their flavors. Perfect dessert! read more

While in Bend visiting for the weekend, after dinner and wanting a sweet treat, my husband and I walked over to Bonta gelato. It just so happened to be first Friday and the entire downtown Bend area was buzzing with excitement. After placing our order for gelato, we decided to stroll around the downtown area while savoring our sweet treat. I ordered a medium in a waffle cone and chose Mayan chocolate and sea salt caramel as my flavors. Both flavors were delicious in their own right. The Mayan chocolate definitely had a nice little spicy kick to it that left my tongue a little tingly. The sea salt caramel was cool and creamy with the perfect balance of saltiness and sweet. So if you find yourself in the Bend area and looking for a sweet treat, come check out this gelato shop. read more

Absolutely love this place! The staff is always friendly and they even gave me a small cup of vanilla for my foster puppy. Every flavor I've had is delicious. If you like gelato and/or ice cream go here. It does not disappoint! I enjoy going to their window counter location in East Bend. Plenty of parking and don't need to deal with downtown. read more

This place is hands down the best gelato spot I've ever been to--and I've tried quite a few. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a rainbow of flavors and the freedom to sample as many as you want (yes, really!). The staff is super friendly and patient, even when you're torn between ten different mouthwatering options. The gelato itself? Absolutely divine. Creamy, rich, and packed with flavor. I went with rootbeer and strawberry cream, and WOW. The rootbeer tasted exactly like sipping a cold rootbeer float--nostalgic and refreshing. The strawberry cream was velvety and perfectly sweet, like summer in a scoop. And let's talk portions. Most gelato places give you a sad little scoop scraped from the bottom of the bin. Not here. They stack it high and don't skimp. You get a generous, towering serving that feels like a true treat. I loved it so much, I came back twice before leaving Bend. If you're in town and even remotely into dessert, do yourself a favor and stop by. Your taste buds will thank you. read more

Yum! Stopped in for something sweet after dinner. Staff were very nice. All the flavors I sampled were so good it was hard to decide! Nice to be able to split a regular/large into three flavors haha. I had the lime raspberry (very citrus heavy, delicious), the roasted strawberry, and the peanut butter fudge (very very good). Maybe not the most authentic gelato, but delicious nonetheless! read more

SO GOOD! There's always a queue, but it goes by quick. Bonta gelato IS THE SPOT for your gelato fix. Not only is their gelato creamy with the right level of sweetness, but they have incredible flavors too. Feel free to sample a few flavors before you take your pick. My favorites were Lavender and Stracciatella. Lavender is dairy free and blended with coconut milk. Located in downtown Bend, this is a must stop! read more

This gelato spot is always crowded and my mom and I decided to check it out tonight. The employees were really friendly and let you try as many flavors as you want. The mascarpone was my favorite-so creamy and milky, really good. They had a ton of other flavors too like roasted strawberry, coffee brownie, lime curd, and more. Some tables inside to sit. If you like gelato this spot was very high high quality. read more

Very authentic flavors and rich texture. Even the non-dairy options were very smooth and rich! THE WAIT A 5-10 minute wait on Wednesday 7/3 at at 7:30pm. The line was to the end of the store. By the time we left around 8:15, the line had crossed the alleyway next to Bonta. Salted Chocolate - 4.5 stars. Loved this, rich, subtlely salted. Roasted Strawberry & Honey - 4 stars. Really could taste the genuine strawberry flavor. Orange Cream - 4 stars. Quite literally tasted like creamsicles! Lemon Sorbetto - 4 stars. Quite rich, if you ate this it wouldn't be obvious it's dairy-free. Lavender - 3.5 stars. A little on the sweet side. Brownies & Coffee - 4.5 stars Coffee Chip - 4.5 stars. If you want more refreshing coffee flavor, this is a little better than Brownies & Coffee. read more

It's the real deal. Maybe not a true 5 but a 4+ for sure. I mean it's not Italy, but as good as you will get in Oregon. Yes, even Portland doesn't have better than Bonta in Portland. It's not as creamy as European gelato but you can close your eyes and imagine. Helpful staff, plenty of choices. Could use a few more. Still all the favorites. Parking can be an issue depending on which Bonta location and the time of day. read more

Worth the hype - best part of Bend if you ask me! Great variety of flavors, the roasted strawberry was TO DIE FOR. Service was friendly and efficient. Plenty of seating options, including out door tables/benches. read more

We saw it was packed the night before and knew we needed to try this place, so we decided to pop in the next day. As it was a cute little place with beautiful decor, this place allows for indoor and outdoor seating. Offering specialty flavors, which they have year round, and seasonal flavors, I opted to try their Passionfruit flavor and my partner got the lavender flavor. Both were delicious! The passionfruit tasted so fresh and almost forgot I was eating gelato. The lavender was light and had a great scent to it as well, it gave us early summer vibes. Would definitely recommend this place and come back whenever we're in the area! read more

A well curated collection of staple and seasonal gelato flavors expertly crafted. The servers are kind and patient and happy to give out samples, and then make sure to scoop you a generous serving size.

The best gelato I have ever had!!!! We visited Bend and craved some gelato and found this place through Yelp so we give it a try. While waiting in line, we let one lady order first since we were still indecisive. She suggested us to get salted strawberry honey and their almond butter!!! We got a cup of 3 flavors which were of course salted strawberry honey, bourbon pecan and de leche seasalt...... Man!!!! I wish I didn't just have dinner earlier so I could have ordered those with waffle!! We also bought almond butter (all the flavors they had) ... after tasting then after getting home, I wish I bought the bigger jar......they were so goooddddddd. Not too sweet and didn't need any jelly with it at all. Not to mention the decoration was really cute and service was beyond great. Another great spot that you don't want to miss in Bend..... read more
