I've loved Bonta Gelato since I came here for a Yelp Elite event last year. The flavors are unique and delicious, the service is excellent and there's always a friendly face to greet you, and it's just a cute little shop with lots of seating and good music. I mainly rate it a 4 star because the texture is more like a soft ice cream than gelato, and it doesn't quite make it to the level of my favorite gelato place in Portland on quality and flavor. I do, however, have a lot of frozen dessert in this city and I will not turn down a delicious cup of Bonta Gelato.
Came here on a whim, was not disappointed! I got the lime cream and raspberry gelato and it was so good. There were a good assortment of flavors to choose from. Service was quick and the employee was friendly. Cute gelato shop in downtown, walking distance to a lot of different things.
Deeeelicious! We tried brownies and coffee and Mayan chocolate. Both were so good and the portion size is very generous. We will be back. Great service too!
The counter person was extremely patience. So many people got 2 and 3 samples. They had coffee chip oat milk Gelato. Refreshing and tasty.
I got off the streetcar, walked down the street, and glimpsed this gelato shop. Now, gelato wasn't on my agenda for the day, but I couldn't resist. So my wife and I walked in and were instantly delighted by the sight of gelato and fun decor. The service was amazing. After trying a majority of the flavors, we settled on two--basically a combo of brownie and caramel goodness. It was incredible. Some of the best gelato I've had in the US. I'm so glad we stopped, and we will definitely be returning.
I've walked past many times and when I saw their LONG list of dairy free options, I had to stop in. Sampled the matcha and was hooked! Got it paired with the Mayan Chocolate. The staff was incredibly friendly and bubbly. It was very clean and if I had time, I would have hung out a while. Will definitely come again!
The gelato at Bonata Gelato is delicious. The staff lets you sample different flavors before you purchase. The taste is delicate and creamy (little to no ice crystals). There are not many unique flavors, but the few "standard" ones that I tried were well done. I ended up getting the orange blossom and poppy seed, which was very bright and had no acidity. A small container actually holds a lot of volume; they really packed it in! There is a large, indoor, casual sitting area at Bonata, which I love at ice cream places. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but not much different from other local ice cream places.
I came across this gelato shop through an online post stating that a famous Bend, OR, gelato establishment had opened a new Portland outpost. So while visiting Portland, I decided to check it out. It was worth the stop. They offer a good variety of flavors and the pricing is very reasonable. I tried their Lime Cream & Raspberry and Orange Blossom & Poppy Seed flavors. Both were unique in taste and had a good flavor profile. The lime cream was tart and the orange blossom was smooth and subtle in taste. Both were creamy. I got a small cup which came with two flavors and they loaded it up. Check out this gelato shop when in Portland and in Bend.
Chilled silky smooth so creamy so delicious Bonto gelato. New in the Pearl District across from Armory theater and down the street from a bunch of eateries to scoop up a creamy gelato dessert, after lunch or dinner. Many flavors to choose. And great convivial space inside to spread out, kickback, meet up, scoop up and lick up lip smacking creamy gelato whipped up from Bend Oregon dairy. Love the Mayan coconut, spicy chocolate and coffee!
Really excited to see Bonta now in Portland! We had been numerous times out in Bend and finally got the chance to check out their new location. It's actually quite spacious inside and they've done a nice job designing everything. The gelato itself is great and they are generous with the portions which I appreciated. Went with the cookies and cream and strawberry. Will definitely be back more once the warmer months roll around. Our scooper was very nice and offered us numerous samples which is always helpful. Thankful to have another ice cream spot in the area now that Ben and Jerry's is gone.
A new gelato spot from Bend! Space is big and open. They got a few fun flavors to choose from, some were a miss though. But the ones that are not are the Straccaitella, Orange Cream, and Strawberry! Some of the better gelatos I've had around here. Will definitely be back for more.
Phenomenally flavorful gelato! Every bite has an interesting flavor profile. My favorites are the the salted chocolate, salted vanilla and Marionberry Sorbetto. There are 2 different chocolate flavors here with very different flavor profiles. So if you'd like a more rich and classic profile, I'd go with Salted Chocolate. Mayan chocolate has a spicy aftertaste. The atmosphere is modern with clean lines, yet it still feels warm with mural art in the background. There's ample seating space. It's a great place to bring a date, friends or solo. Fantastic counter service.
A newer gelato place that opened up in the Pearl area. They took over the old Cosmic Bliss location. I really enjoyed their flavors and have been there twice now. Some of my favorite flavors are their roasted strawberry, brownie + coffee, and peanut butter +fudge. The gelato is very smooth and easy to enjoy. I was told that they will rotate with some seasonal flavors.
Must try: Brownies & Coffee Gelato! Why: I love chocolate brownies and I love coffee so this was a perfect scoop of blissfulness! Creamy, sweet, and delightful especially on a hot summer day! Notes: I came at opening time (noon) on a weekday and was greeted right away with friendly workers. They let me try a few flavors before I choose my scoop. They even answered my random questions about the gelato company and its origins in Oregon. Clean and spacious shop with lots of seating inside and a few tables outside. They had some fun upbeat music playing while I was enjoying my gelato. read more
I've been wanting to come try this gelato for a while now, however, it is in downtown, Portland, which is usually pretty discouraging for me since I have to find parking and then pay for parking. But it was different today. We had some extra minutes on my parking meter, so we walked a block down here to get some gelatos! Let me tell you, I am quite surprised on how cute and spacious this place was. I had imagined it to be a small shop for grab and go ice cream. To my surprise, there were plenty of tables and chairs available for you to just chill and hang out with your group of friends. Nice! The two flavors we ended up with were dulce de leche and salted chocolate (kid size - 2 flavors $5.50, regular size - 3 flavors $6.50). There were many other flavors that we tried such as the brownie and coffee, Mayan chocolate, salted vanilla, matcha, etc. They have rotating seasonal flavors as well, but I can't remember what they were. The gelato was very tasty and smooth. We liked it a lot and spent about 15 minutes in there hanging out. Service was good too; she was super patient with us while we took our time to decide what flavor we wanted and then we asked for a handful of samples before deciding. If we were around the area, we would consider coming back here. Parking is still very discouraging. A good place to stop by after a meal. ! Feels like price is a little high for the kid's size, but then again, it's gelato. I also liked that this place was quiet and there were no lines. read more
Enjoyed the flavors we got. Some looked a bit gummy so good idea to taste first. Some unique flavors but I like to stay to safe bets. Nice sitting areas to rest if you are walking around town. Still like Pinolo but if you are in the area still a nice treat. read more

space: spacious, warm & brightly lit, family friendly vibe. located in the pear among many restaurants, breweries and bars, so the introduction of a dessert shop is a nice addition to the neighborhood. staff: super friendly and helpful! i was told about the different flavors available and encouraged to try samples. overall service was informative and amiable, and also smooth & efficient. food: there was a good variety of regular and seasonal options available! there's no novel/distinctive flavors, but still interesting choices beyond the basics, such as "lime cream & raspberry" or "orange blossom & poppy seed", so there's something for everyone! they were able to do a split singles scoop, so i got straciatella and pumpkin pie with cookie crumble. usually i'd get a kids scoop at most ice cream shops because they're too sweet/indulgent, but i didn't have a problem finishing this whole scoop at Bonta because the gelato taste is much lighter and cleaner! some flavors can taste more bland/too light (I've tried the strawberry at my last visit and wasn't wowed, but that could be due to strawberries not being in season?), but if you're looking for not too sweet dessert, definitely consider Bonta Gelato! read more

Flavors really hit the spot on such a hot day like today. I like how the smallest option still lets you choose more than 1 flavor read more
