I had such an uncomfortable experience at this gelato place. The server stared at us when we entered in and didn't have the manners to greet. However, there was another customer who entered and was warmly welcomed. My husband was trying to make a friendly conversation by asking if he's wearing a Boston cap. The response was extremely rude, "Its Barcelona" with an attitude face. I seriously question why these idiots work in customer service. What worsened the experience was when the gelato cup was ready, he tossed it on the counter rather than handing it over to me. Extremely disrespectful!!!!! Learn some manners and treat people with respect if you want to go anywhere in life!! Such an embarrassment for the business and a shame to witness. The girls at the other location were nice and warm unlike this one here! I will never return to this location ever again and I hope the management takes customer service and reviews more seriously!! read more

Great place if you are craving real gelato. They have different options, but my favorite were pistachio and hazelnut, also their chocolate is really tasty. The place is super cozy. There's seating areas inside and outside. The service was great, they offered me samples before I ordered. Loved it! There's also parking on the streets around the area which is very convenient. read more

This place legit reminded me of being in Italy with the gelato in the silver container and lids. They had some typically flavors and some unique one. Don't wait to go too late because they will run out of certain flavors. My go to is the stracciatella and it was perfect. Definitely sample the unique flavor too because I ended up loving the goat cheese and pecan one and I got the very last scoop of it. read more

My friends and I went to this gelato place while we were on my bestie's bachelorette trip to Austin. It was so impressive to watch the server serve the gelato especially with the multiple flavors. He was so nice to let us try so many flavors. Everything was so good and it was hard to choose! I ended up going with the Crème Dolce Neve and the Chocolate Sea Salt. They were so creamy and not too sweet which was perfect. The Crème Dolce Neve has a little lemony flavor to it which is great with the rich chocolate. After we got our gelato, we sat at the tables outside since the weather was so nice. They do have indoor seating as well. read more

Happened to come across Dolce Neve when I had dinner nearby (at Industry) with a friend. We decided dessert would be great to complete our meal, and ice cream sounded nice! Luckily for us, DN was just down the street. On a Tuesday evening, there was a steady stream of patrons coming and going. I decided to get the small scoop which came with two flavors. The small size is also quite generous, so if you are not that hungry, you can ask for the kid size which is just one flavor and about $4. For my cup, I got the mascapone matcha with blueberry goat cheese. Both flavors tasted exactly how they were described to be, and the flavors felt super rich and creamy! Halfway through I felt like I had enough, but I couldn't waste it! The guy working the shop that night, who I assume as the owner, said he was from Italy (Perugia), so it was nice to have some "authentic" gelato after not being in Italy for some time! read more

The only real gelato in downtown Austin! I searched for gelato and noticed the narrow metal tins which the gelato is stored in and told hubs we have to check it out (real gelato isn't presented as large mounds of fluff). We came late in the afternoon and sampled almost all of the flavors. I opted for the Stracciatella (chocolate chip shavings) and the Cassata (ricotta, chocolate chips, and orange peel). These two paired so well together which made for a delightful afternoon treat! In fact, I enjoyed it so much that we went the following day. read more

Dolce Neve has the best gelato I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. I'm happy that I randomly came across a YouTube video talking about his food tour experience in Austin. He said that it was the best gelato he's had in America and I completely agree with him 100%. I went with the medium cup and I got three flavors. I got the ricotta,honey and pistachio,organic hazelnut and stracciatella gelatos. All three were delicious. It was $8 for the medium and it's well worth it in my opinion. The ricotta,honey and pistachio gelato was my favorite. The lady that helped me was very friendly and gave me some good suggestions. I will definitely come back when I'm in Austin in the future. read more

Solid option for dessert. Cute little shop with plenty of seating and plenty of flavors. We got the hazelnut, stracciatella, and chocolate. My fave by far was the stracciatella -- it tasted light and fresh, if a teensy bit icy. The flavors were all surprisingly toned down on the sweetness, which I preferred. $6 a cup for up to two flavors, which was reasonable if slightly higher than I otherwise might prefer to pay. So overall, a good experience (if not life altering)! read more

Hands down, without a doubt, nothing else even comes close, this is the BEST gelato I've had in Austin. And I've tried a LOT of gelato shops here. What I love about Dolce Neve is that their gelato is so light & fluffy (as gelato is meant to be), not heavy like ice cream. Their flavors are absolutely divine, subtle & bright. My favorite is the Crema Dolce Neve, a cloud-like custard gelato with lemon zest that's like a beautiful burst of sunshine in my mouth. But like the good kind of sunshine, on a crisp, cool 55 degree autumn day. Not the oppressive, humid, disgusting Texas summer kind of sunshine. Last but certainly not least, Dolce Neve makes a damn fine affogato, 3 scoops of gelato (I get mine with Madagascar Vanilla) with hot coffee poured over the top. The gelato slowly melts into the coffee, resulting in the fluffiest, yummiest cream topping you can imagine. read more

I know many Austinites have an undying loyalty to a local ice cream chain but it simply does not compare to Gelato Paradiso (unless you're my husband and can't get enough of Mexican vanilla).

The raspberry is a close second - packed with fruity flavor and the texture is somehow thick n creamy despite being a sorbet.

The chocolate was honestly a little weird with the jasmine in my opinion (I would have preferred regular vanilla jasmine, but was interesting to try). That said, the lychee raspberry is a knock out of the park -- absolutely LOVED it! It's the perfect combo of sweet from the lychee with just a bit of tang from the raspberry, and the chunks of lychee in it are absolutely delicious. It was like $8 including tax for the medium so it's not cheap, but it's a good sized cup.

We were given insulated bags for the gelato which was great since it was pretty melty by the time we were able to get it into the freezer. Although they were all good, my personal favorite was the lychee rose followed by the mango sticky rice. I liked the lychee pieces in the lychee rose gelato. The matcha had a good depth to the flavor but didn't stand out as much as the other flavors. Will be back to try more the next time we're in Austin!

I think this was a one-time event. Not sure if they'll make it a yearly thing, but it was great!…read more $10 buys you 2 small cups of gelato & 3 small cones. Cones were slightly smaller in size than the cups, but definitely enough to enjoy the flavor & texture of each gelato. Vendors from Alaska, Canada, California, Chicago, and other cities were here to show off their best gelato. Glad they made a stop in Austin-- looks like they'll be going to Germany next, and then later even to Dubai. I personally LOVE LOVE LOVED Carmen Angelo Ricciardi's Maple Brown Butter Pecan. So much that I used my last ticket to eat another serving of his gelato. It's made with organic ingredients & alaskan sea salt. Tasted like a mixture of Hopdoddy's Salted Caramel shake & Pecan Praline ice cream. DELICIOUS. Other favorites: Banana Foster, Carmastachio Friends' favorites: Chocolate orange liqueur If they come again, I'd be game :D

Jim-Jim's Water-Ice

Dehydrated and desperately needing something sweet we dropped by Jim Jim's to see what the high…read morereviews were all about. 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.

Went here for the first time last weekend due to someone else wanting water ice, sad to see its…read moretemp closed right now. I got the mango, passion fruit, and cotton candy flavors. By far, passion fruit was my favorite out of the 3, the other 2 were refreshing, but not personal favorites. If your particular about flavorings the definitely have some artificial taste to them so choose wisely. It's a cute hole in the wall shop for a grab and go water ice. So many flavors to choose from, hope they open back up soon so I can try some more!

Since…read morethere was construction going on outside, we chose to sit indoors, but they do have a nice patio if you don't mind a little construction noise. The ambiance inside was inviting, and our breakfast was delicious. The only downside was the service, which felt a bit slow and somewhat disorganized.

Overall, if you're looking for a tasty breakfast in a pleasant atmosphere and don't mind the possibility of a small service hiccup, I'd recommend giving this place a try.

Just to be clear, I AM somewhat of a subject matter expert. I have eaten all manner of fried dough creations from coast to coast, including Hawaii, and I have a lot to say on the topic. My favorite is still Cider Belly in Albany, NY, but I digress. The PB&J donut here is one of the best things I have ever eaten. I dragged it out for 3 days. Even semi-stale, and reheated in the microwave, it was still delicious. I put a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream on it which definitely helped. I also ordered a Heavenly Hash (one of my favorite ice cream flavors BTW) and a Naughty and Nice because I am all about the classics. They were both outstanding. No leftovers. I bought these donuts in lieu of birthday cake this year which may become my new tradition. Honestly, I think these are my new favorite donuts in Austin now.

Doughnuts made to order out of an airstream, you say?…read more Looks like they used to offer mini versions but that side of the menu is all mask taped over. When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

We were seated after a three-minute break, and I ordered the Joe Lioni. The chicken was very dense, and it pulled apart with barely any force. It was the texture that all chicken strives to be. The flavor was a three-way gradient: Strong lemon; to soft, heavy chicken, to a slow-building spiciness that faded quickly and painlessly. I was finished with the first piece, and about to move on to the second, but my father and sister suggested that I eat some of the spaghetti. The taste and texture can only be described as the feeling on a hike, when you come into a clearing with the sun gently filtering through the trees, and you know and enjoy that there is more to come. Very subtle and light. The pasta and chicken paired more perfectly than anything I have ever eaten before. After I finished, I got the stracciatelli cannoli, that is, the chocolate chip cannoli. I was given the cannoli, as well as a surprise bonus: the Brown Butter gelato. It was amazing. It's the next step up from custard. The cannoli was crispy, brittle, and the ricotta was smooth and rich Scraping my plate on all of these. Like a dream. Prices were somewhat steep, but worth it. 10/10
