Pistachio and matcha
Cam H.

I visited Italy a few months ago and have been on the hunt for gelato that comes close to what I had there--and this place is probably the closest I've found so far. The pistachio flavor was incredibly creamy, decadent, and nutty, with just the right touch of sweetness. The matcha was on the milder side and lacked a strong matcha flavor, but overall, this is probably my favorite spot in town for pistachio gelato. I'm definitely coming back to try more flavors. The shop has both indoor and outdoor seating, with a cute and cozy interior. It's a great casual spot to hang out with friends after dinner. The service was excellent--staff were friendly and eager to help.

I think dolce neve has decent gelato, albiet its not my favorite in Austin. I'm also a major waffle cone girly, and dolce neve's cone is straight up not good- it tastes stale and flavorless/not buttery. On my most recent visit, I got the buttermilk strawberry and chocolate hazelnut flavors. I think the flavors are good, but the texture isn't as creamy and full bodied as other high quality gelato places. I also sampled the pistachio, which is normally my go-to here. I think dolce neve used to be better when I was still in college, but this spot is still a staple and nostalgic gelato place to go to when in Austin. The service is pretty good- they tend to each person and let you try as many samples as you want. Interior is small and parking lot is small, but isn't this the case everywhere in Austin LOL

Pint of 3 flavors of Chocolate 100%, Stracciatella, and Coffee!

My husband and I came to Austin for work and decided to spend the day here and was craving something sweet. We stopped at the right place, we got the pint that came with 3 flavors. We didn't even leave the parking lot before we dug into it. Definitely recommend it, we sampled a few others and another flavor I enjoyed was Jasmine Tea! Nice taken care of establishment. We will be back to try some more.

This is the cutest little shop! It feels like a tiny little home. I love the vibe - cute & quaint. The gelato is solid. Decent portion sizes too! They have different flavors at different times. For example, as we were leaving, they put out a pineapple sorbet. I would definitely go back to continue trying new flavors! The shop also serves coffee. It's a cool place to do work or study. They have wifi, but I would come with a charged device as I don't recall there being too many outlets.

I have been here twice and will be back for more. High quality ice cream. The place is really cute and has its own parking on the back. The ice cream is super tasty. It's creamy and not overly sweetened.

We walked over for dessert after having dinner nearby! The lady working was so sweet with conversation and suggestions. They offer a lot of unique flavors. It is on the more expensive size given portion but it is tasty and fresh! They have a few tables to sit at or you can take to go. I recommend checking it out!

One of my favorite flavors in general is pistachio and this is the place to get REAL pistachio gelato, not the artificially flavored, green kind (: Paired the pistachio with vanilla and 70% chocolate. Would recommend trying this spot! Added bonus: they also have pistachio butter for sale!!

I love gelato and had to finally come try this place and it did not disappoint. We sampled the almond custard, orange peel chocolate and peaches and cream and all were delicious. Ended up going with the chocolate orange peel which had proper orange peel pieces in it YUM and almond custard which was nice and smooth and lightly flavored almond. $6 for a small which is kinda steep but I'll definitely be back to try some of their other flavors.

My family and I visited Dolce Neve. We drove around to the side and back of the building for parking. When we walked in we were kindly greeted by two young women working behind the counter. They both answered our questions regarding the flavors and explained a little bit about what will be coming soon. When we asked about the flavors they told us that we could try some on taster spoons. I chose to get a small cup which you can get two flavors in. I decided to try the Crema Dolce Neve which is a custard with lemon zest in it. I also tried the vanilla. Both the custard and gelato were good. The custard with lemon zest was flavorful and not overly citrusy. The custard and the gelato were smooth and creamy. The inside was well lit and there was seating available both inside and outside. It was a cool place to try a cold treat with good service and good gelato.

Stopped by Dolce Neve on a warm January afternoon after lunch. The parking lot was completely full, there is only room for about 4 cars, and there was a bit of a line inside as well. There was only one person working in the front, so it took about 15 minutes. I noticed there was variety of flavors, some pretty unique too. Overall, I did really enjoy the gelato/sorbet here, the hojicha tasted like sweetened green tea, but not too sweet and not bitter either. The grapefruit sorbet was really refreshing with the perfect amount of grapefruit bitterness that it tasted authentic and still enjoyable.

Great little spot to grab an after dinner dessert. Parking is in the back. The lady that helped us was really sweet. We tried lots of flavors before landing on cappuccinos + stracciatella/vanilla from Madagascar. The gelato was creamy and delicious.

Clockwise from the top: organic mint gelato, goat cheese and pecan gelato, and yellow watermelon sorbet.
Wendy W.

Amaaazing freshly sourced gelatos and sorbets with daily rotating flavors. I spotted this place while taking obligatory touristy photos with the "Greetings from Austin" mural nearby, and stopped by on a whim thanks to the ridonkulous heat. They had freakin' yellow watermelon sorbet (!!!) so I already knew I was in for a treat, but as I kept sampling, it got harder and harder to choose. But I got the medium size and was able to pick three different flavors, so I also went with organic mint and goat cheese and pecan. Each flavor was so tasty and struck the perfect balance between sweetness and highlighting the fresh ingredients. The yellow watermelon sorbet was so refreshing and light, and the goat cheese and pecan gelato was right up my wheelhouse: creamy and a bit savory/tangy. I wish NYC had a location! Our frozen-desserts competition is stiff, but Dolce Neve honestly became one of my favorite dessert spots from this visit alone.

See all

Gelatoro is located in Hyde Park on 45th street (faces this direction) not Duval Road as the address implies.

I purchased a non-dairy lemon and strawberry gelato (two of four dairy-free options). The gelato was refreshing and tasty simultaneously. Gelatoro features house-made gelato with rotating flavors and fan favorites including chocolate, blueberry chip, and strawberry. Their coffee and espresso options offerings may also include affogatos for a sugar rush. Bakery treats include cookies, bars and candy treats including Dubai chocolate. The cashier was very friendly offering me several samples needed for me to make my final selection. There is a small amount of free parking available to customers for Gelatoro.

The high quantity of cocoa changed the flavor of the initial bites. I ended up removing the cocoa all together. The Lemon Sorbetto was amazing! It is dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan. It had a great lemon flavor and was incredibly refreshing. I also enjoyed the Amarena Cherry. It is gluten-free. It felt more like ice cream due to the dairy, so it was less refreshing, but still a treat. I would have enjoyed it more with more cherries in it. I look forward to trying more frozen treats from Gelatoro.

I highly recommend going here and trying out your version of favorite. They had some incredible flavors like black, sesame, pineapple cake, Texas sheet cake, mango sticky rice.

We ended up choosing the ube and the banana shoyu caramel. Ube is a familiar favorite for me, but the banana shoyu caramel was the standout. It was rich and I was so glad the banana flavor did not taste artificial! Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the mood for a creative dessert. I'd definitely come back and look forward to trying their cookies and chocolates!

Located on 6th Street, Jim Jim's is surprisingly accessible with parking spots available out front and just around the corner. It's not a sitdown place so keep that in mind for your stop, but the line does move fast and they are very efficient. There's a good variety of flavors and things they serve from italian ice to ice cream and shakes. We opted for a strawberry italian ice with condensed milk on top. From the first bite we were in heaven. The flavor is very thorough which is not always the case for Italian ices where it can sometimes be a bit muted. Every single bite of this was packed with flavor. They also carve out a bit of the middle to put the condensed milk which makes every bite much more equal than if it was just placed at the top. This was by far one of, if not the best, Italian ices we've ever had. We would very much recommend it to anyone in the Downtown area looking to cool off.

So many flavors to choose from, hope they open back up soon so I can try some more!
