    I am thoroughly confused by the high reviews. Either these are local friends just trying to help the owner which I applaud. Or people who have never in their life had real Gelato or even good ice cream. I hate to tear a local business down but my reviews are meant to be honest for other patrons. Each time I've entered this establishment the vibe has been unwelcoming and cold. A man of little words. Inside is very small as is outside. But the real let down is the "Gelato" and for me personally calling it Gelato is highly offensive because it's nothing like Gelato. The flavors aren't great and I tried several. My honest opinion is that this would be an absolute last option for me. I would go to McDonald's for soft serve before coming here. My guess is if they weren't next to the pizza place they probably wouldn't still be open. I just can't recommend

    Best the heat with a gelato and beer flight!

    Great prescription for the FLorida heat! A gelato with beer flight with great range of gelato flavors with great beers!

    Stopped here for dessert after lunch. It's quaint but has some seating outside. There were lots of flavor options and I had half Oreo and half Samoa Goodness. Both flavors were fantastic. I would definitely come back.

    This is the gelato.

    Amazing. I got the caramel and Samoa Goodness, would recommend. This place was overall amazing.

    Cool Side Gelato in Tarpon Springs is a must post dinner. The location is next door to Fire Side Pizza Cafe. The location is unique, festive and fun. If you are not having gelato, they have plenty of options. Wine and craft beer. Plenty to chose from. It was my first gelato bar that sold beer. One of the features that I LOVE is they have a foosball table. Costs 1.00 to play in quarters. Seating is very limited. You will either We tried the following: Chocolate: Had a strong chocolate flavor. Coconut: Good flavors. Plenty of shreds of coconut 1/2 mint chip and 1/2 Oreo. Nothing out of the ordinary. Great location. Cool atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

    Gelato place at Palm Harbor bring joy to the kid of the neighborhood. I hope New Tampa has one of the mom and pop gelato store one day. Coolside has a special beerlato that I did not try. I will try that next time. Today we have three of the flavors. All three flavors was very nice. Before you are ordering, you can try their specialty flavors. The server was nice enough for any cup size, he can fill as many flavors he can. We got the small cup, and he was able to fill with three flavors. This is a plus to attract customers to come back. Other than gelato and beer, they serve coffee too. It is as advertised fine Italian ice cream.

    Cute little gelateria in hopping downtown Palm Harbor. Home of the Beerlato (just what it sounds like a gelato float with beer-and that's a no for me). We had a medium and a large for under $12. We tried butterfingers, pistachio & Sea Salt Caramel gelato. All good but hands down the Sea Salt won. Pairs well with almost any flavor. I would love to see coconut gelato next time I come by hint hint;) And word to the wise, don't call it I scream or the nice young man will correct you.

    Gelato... yum!

    WOW! One of my fellow Elite Yelpers (I am pretty sure he is the DUKE here, lol!) was bragging on how good this place was, and after we had a nice meal of wings and pizza elsewhere... they drove us up to Coolside. Palm Harbor is always busy, and does strong bar business with some food also (or so I see it). Coolside is right in the middle of this madhouse... and so finding parking is not easy... be prepared to park a little farther away and walk a little. Good for you, right? :) Coolside Gelato did not disappoint.. great Gelato! I had the chocolate hazelnut... and it was delicious! Girlfriend had salted carmel and loved it. Everybody was happy with their choices, and service was on point too. Friendly and efficient! And free samples to try the different flavors! Yum! Highly recommended!

    We walked in and found out they serve coffee, beer, gelato, ice cream and float. After trying couple flavors, We got a large cup strawberry pineapple, bubble gum and pistachio. The straw berry pineapple gelato was excellent. I can feel the strawberry seeds and pineapple pieces in the gelato. The bubble gum had un unique good taste. They were all mildly sweet, so after tasted them, I didn't feel thirsty. The place got indoor and outdoor sitting . Good service and reasonable price on top of yummy gelato, I am a fan.

    Flavors for days!

    TLDR: delicious gelato, just like I had in italy! Small was plenty! Interior is so cute! Hidden gem for sure! This was the highlight of our family night out! We just so happened to eat at a place across the street and I am happy we walked past! Apparently, if you buy pizza at the place next door you get 10% off. We will definitely keep that in mind for our next visit! They let me try the heath & pistachio gelato before I finally chose the biscoff flavor. I was in heaven! So creamy and decadent! My kids had chocolate (basically brownie batter) & mint chocolate chip (she wouldn't share, that's how good it was). My husband had the butterfinger and it tasted exactly like the candy but, didn't get stuck in your teeth They also had alcohol and coffee offerings but, we didn't try any this visit. Looking forward to our next visit already!

    Great Gelato! And really cool flavors. The woman at the counter seemed passionate and excited by all the flavors. I had the wasabi almond chocolate which had an interesting kick to it and the salted caramel, which was creamy and sweet. I tried another flavor like blueberry goat cheese--definitely weird! But I like places where you can get something tried and true and something experimental, never know what you are going to like! This is a great finish after the next door pizza or just great as a late night stop. There is some seating inside and outside and some limited parking. But it's a great dessert local--definite must try!

    Love Tukro Coffee! It's our go-to local coffee shop. They offer a great variety of drinks,…read morepastries, and breakfast sandwiches. My favorites are the spinach & feta and the ham & cheese sandwiches...they're always delicious. The outdoor seating area is fantastic and works well for larger groups, plus it's welcoming to well-behaved dogs and kids. The interior is cozy but a bit small, so it can get busy. Don't let a line out the door scare you off though...it usually moves quickly! Highly recommend if you're looking for a great local spot for coffee and a bite to eat.

    I recently stopped by Tukro Cafe, a small and very charming coffee shop tucked into what feels like…read morean old bungalow. The space is cozy and quaint, with just a little bit of indoor seating and some outdoor tables that make it a great spot to sit and relax with a coffee. The atmosphere is really what makes this place special. It has a laid-back, neighborhood feel, and everyone working there was very friendly and welcoming. I also loved that it's within easy walking distance to the Downtown Dunedin market, so it's a perfect place to grab a coffee before or after strolling around town. On this visit I ordered a Snickerdoodle Latte. At first they accidentally gave me a regular latte without the flavoring, but once I mentioned it they were happy to fix it and added the snickerdoodle flavor. The drink ended up being good, though a bit lighter on the flavor than I expected. I expected it to taste more like the cookie, but it was more of a subtle hint. They also offer pastries, though I didn't try any this time. Next visit I'll probably check those out (and see if they happen to have any gluten-free options). Overall it's a really cute spot with a relaxed vibe, and I would definitely come back again -- especially when spending time around downtown Dunedin. I wanted to give a 3.5 stars rating, but decided to round up to 4 stars. Everyone can make a mistake (like with my drink) and I just got a good vibe from this place. I will update my review at my next visit.
