I love gelato, and I had been dying to try this place for a while. Luckily, I got there right before the crowd, thanks in part to being there super early! The shop is cute, limited parking in the back. Overall, the gelato was very sweet and the unique flavors were a nice addition. Make sure you visit during the day, the natural light and wooden tables are perfect for taking pictures! read more

My friends and I came by on our spring break day trip to Austin and we loved the atmosphere and environment!! When we walked in it was clean and very aesthetic. The guy who helped us (Xavier?) was also very helpful and nice, even helped us with taking pictures for a mini photo shoot we had after purchasing lol! Definitely would come again! read more

Soooooo good. I hate to let the cat out of the bag, but get the chocolate granita. Rich, dark chocolate; not too sweet. Proceed to slather with freshly made whipped cream. Thank me later. read more

This quaint gelato place was such a pleasant visit! I came pretty late at night so parking wasn't a problem. I don't know how the situation is during noon-afternoon but the parking area isn't huge, just to keep in mind! But wow was this place worth it. First of all, employees. Super kind people. Second, gelato was SO great! It is on the pricey side but you truly get what you pay for, quality. Think my small cup was $4.10 and I thought it was so worth every penny! I got a mascarpone and lemon zest & chocolate with candied peels. You could tell the gelato was very high-quality. Super fresh and sweet! HIGHLY recommend stopping by if you're in Austin! :) read more

This place was pretty delicious. Where else can you get a chocolate covered matcha bar? Lots if interesting flavors using local ingredients. And while you lap away at your favorites, you can gaze dreamily at the collection if succulents in the window. My friend wouldn't stop talking about how he needed succulents after this place. Dreams are dreamt at Dolce Neve. Great ice cream, good times. read more

Real Italians right here in Austin. Not a chain! Authentic vibe! Really creative! Go! Yum!

It's all been said before. This place is wonderful. The gelato is amazing and the space is so cute and charming. The people are very friendly here and let you sample as much as your heart desires (I cap at 3 and try more next time) I got what I sampled and haven't been able to stop thinking about it the rest of the day. The affogato is the best I've ever had. Great place to go on a date or with a friend. My best friend and I just popped in for some gelato and decided to book a 2015 trip to Italy! Thanks Dolce Neve! OH!! And gluten free ice cream sandwiches!! :) read more

I'm really not into ice cream. That's because normally the ingredients are of doubtful origin. But I have to admit that this place has great flavor, organic, and local ingredients. And the best part for me, is that they are gluten free!!!! It's been such a pain in the butt trying to find a place that I can walk in and feel safe! I know that I'm not going to have any issue with my system. That's priceless. I come from northwest Austin. But I'll drive all the way down here to get my ice cream from now on. The mascarpone with fig is to die for. read more

We stumbled upon this place since it was near a restaurant we had dinner at. The place is tiny and cute. There's a patio with pink chairs and tables as well as indoor seating. There were so many flavors to choose from! The workers were super nice and let us sample whatever flavors we wanted! My top 3 favorite were- 1. Dolce neve/house (egg custard and lemon zest)- this was so light and refreshing because of the lemon. It seemed a bit more like a fusion of gelato and sorbet. Just enough tanginess for lemon lovers! 2. 70% chocolate- I LOVE dark chocolate so this flavor was a no brainer. It wasn't too sweet with just the perfect amount of bitterness. 3. Organic pistashio- for pistashio lovers this is a must! Also if you don't like sweet things, this one is your pick. I ended up getting a small with the organic pistashio and 70% chocolate since I was limited to 2 flavors with that size. It's enough for one person and cost around 4.50 which I feel is a bit pricey. Overall, I likey! :D read more

They have the best gelato I've possibly ever had in the United States. Truly, I love it. The Crema Dolce Neve (Custard with Lemon Zest) is quite possibly the best flavor. And they make so many options, get a chocolate covered gelato bar because you can! read more

This isn't the best gelato I've ever had but it's pretty good. The flavors are very delicate but satisfying. My favorite is the Salted Caramel. I also appreciate the depth of flavor in their Chocolate ice cream - the Maldon salt really enhances the flavor. Their location is very quaint. read more

Really good ice cream. Great ambience and the service is good. A go to place whenever in Austin

Last night was heavenly after I tried the Honey Bee Pollen served up by the amazing Zavia who is now my new best friend. After trying to about 8 different samples and being served with such patience by the aforementioned Zavia, my friends and I finally got a few flavors, of which the Bee Pollen stood out as most memorable. Shop was very clean, bright and definitely want to bring more people back here. read more

I love this place! The people over at Dolce Neve are so friendly too, they showed us how they made their gelato sandwiches, those looked so delicious Im sure they taste heavenly too. I had the Chocolate Gianduja 70% and that was a sure win for me. I have not tasted chocolate gelato with such good flavor before. The goat cheese and pecan, ricotta cheese pistachio and almond honey were good too :) I would definitely come back! read more

The Dark Chocolate and Orange Marmalade was really good. They also gave a lot for small, the cup is overflowed with gelato.. The best thing is probably people who works there were really nice! They didn't have the flavor I wanted for gelato sandwich that I wanted. So, they gave me free cookies pieces to go with the gelato. The place is really cute but it's a bit tiny and not many tables/chairs. But we got to see how they were making the gelato as well! Pretty neat gelato place for chilling. read more

So fresh and delicious! They have new and interesting flavors every week but I always still love the vanilla chocolate chip.

Time for a short and sweet review - it is the best place in Austin to get creamy treats. It is not up for debate

Dolce Neve is scrumptious! Authentically so, according to my Italian son-in-law, when they took us for our first visit, late last year. They did not disappoint. Last Friday, for the first time ever, we could not be with our daughter, to celebrate her birthday. In view of the COVID crisis, national and statewide, we respect the mandates. So wracking my brains for treats to surprise her, I called Dolce Neve. They walked this (sometimes) technically challenged Momma through the process, and said I was more than welcome to call, and they would take my order, explaining any flavors or other options, as needed, so that I would feel comfortable. I cannot say enough good about this place. Thank you so very much - Grazie Mille - Dolce Neve! Traci, Hurst, TX read more

I GO HERE ALL THE TIME. This is a go to date place with friends, significant others, whoever. If fresh gelato made from scratch apparently by this Italian man who has the family recipe. So safe to assume it's the real deal, right? The flavors are so unique and they let you sample as much as you want! They're known for gelato but they have affogato and popsicles too! Not going to lie, the portions are quite tiny and expensive... so dont go if you're broke but if you want a cute place to enjoy quality dessert and wallet isnt struggling too much, give it a try! It's a house looking venue thats white and pink themed. Really cute, not a large space to dont take groups of 20ppl here. I'm a die hard ice cream/gelato fan so I might be biased a little bit, keep that in mind when reading my review! read more

Great after dinner dessert spot. Take your date for a short walk from Congress and safely stroll through an older Austin neighborhood. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The product is fantastic. I've tried a bunch of different flavors, always landing on the coffee popsicle! A little pricey, but for the occasional visit, it's ok. read more

This place has everything a gelato spot Should have: Great gelato, great customer service, acceptable pricing and enough seating for people who decide to stop by after a heavy dinner. I went here on my birthday and they were so sweet in accommodating my friends and I even though it was close to their closing time. They were so helpful in choosing flavors and let us try several before we placed our orders. While this is not the best gelato I ever had (Rome had the best and Amorino's in Houston is excellent), it definitely a top contender. The flavors and texture are on point and the portions are really large. In short, if you are in Austin, this place is a must-have, must-try! Definitely recommend! read more

Stopped by on a whim after checking out the welcome to Austin mural across the street. Excellent service, considering there was only 1 person working behind the counter. He was very kind and informative. I ordered the mascarpone matcha with a smidge of dolce neve. The mascarpone matcha had this sweet milky after taste that was very delicious. The dolce neve was refreshing. Parking is a little tricky. It's a one was entrance and exit. Entrance is to the left of the building and the exit is to the left of the building next door. The driveway is very narrow so if you have a wide car or truck, I'd recommending parking on the main streets and walking a bit to the shop. There is indoor and outdoor seating as well. Both very adorable and vintage. read more

Absolutely lovely. Light but rich flavors like ricotta/honey/pistachio, Thai basil, and goat cheese/blueberry. You can choose two, three, or four flavors. The containers are small, but the flavors are so rich it's plenty. Officially on my list of Austin favorites. Will revisit! read more

This review is long overdue but nevertheless worth writing. I remember when Dolce Neve first opened a few years ago, and every since my first visit, I've loved their gelato. During its early days, I remember the owners always being around at the shop, and they are so personable and friendly! You can tell how proud they are of their work and rightfully so, because the gelato is awesome. They also opened a shop in Houston, and I'm so happy for them :) Personal favorites include dolce neve, matcha, a summer flavor with corn (the exact name escapes me) but to be honest, I've never been disappointed with anything here. The house dipped "gelato on a stick" is great albeit pricy. A quick plug for the affogatos too - I'm not a coffee expert, but the espresso is great and the aftertaste is so smooth. I think the only downside to this place, if any, is the parking. The parking in the back is quite small, but thankfully it hasn't been enough of an issue to keep me from coming back. If you haven't already, come check this place out! read more

Hands down the best gelato I've had in Austin and best since I've gotten back from Rome. This place is definitely on the map of must-go-to places in Austin. Fell in love with the salted caramel immediately. They let us try it as they just finished making it and it is absolutely delicious. In all I tried about 5 flavors. Mostly because they totally insisted and who am I to refuse their delicious work? But I must say they were all amazing, even the flavors I know I don't like, I found a taste for here. And, to top it off, my boyfriend, who thinks he's a food critic, never loves anywhere I want to go but he loved it here! He already knows which flavored he wants to try next time! Can't wait to go back! read more

The friendliest, and knowledgeable, staff! Lots of flavor variety that rotates regularly. Honestly, it was tricky to narrow down a flavor to choose. Can't wait to come back in a regular basis. Parking options in the back. read more

DAMN. this is some amazing freaking gelato. We sampled like 10 flavors and I could not choose (yes I'm that person). Every flavor is good, even their homemade vanilla. Try it! read more

Dolce's ice cream sammiches are divine. We always visit this cute little shop whenever in Austin. The organic Meyer lemon gelato is tart and perfect end to any meal. read more

I adore this place and 100% recommend it to vegans! Today they were serving 3 different dairy-free flavors, one of which was called, "Oat Milk, Maple, & Pecan." It tasted like praline ice cream and the flavor + consistency were flawless. I'm pretty picky when it comes to vegan ice creams, because most I feel are sickly sweet and either too fluffy or too icy. Dolce Neve knows how to achieve the right balance with their gelatos, plus they have a charming patio where you can eat your ice cream and chill. read more

Some poor teenage/college girl was the only staffer with a huge line saturday night, yet everyone stayed cool and on line, so ATX isn't for me...but alas, we enjoyed our flavors enough, far more than Venezia but not nearly as much as Gemelli. read more

Beware that this place is not dog friendly like a customer claim it to be!! You have to know not to bring your pets into the store. A lot of normal places will post up sign on the door to let you know that no pets are allowed in the store and make it clear where the dogs can be. I hope the owner will now post up signs on his door at least to let people know that no pets are allowed or service animals only inside his shops because a customer on Foursquare says that they are pet friendly. I told the owner about the customer comment and ask him to make it aware like a lot of normal stores that do post up signs to let people know only service animals are allowed and to correct this mistake that this customer made about his store by posting up signs on his door and website but he did was argue with me about it. What so hard about posting a sign up? So , I want to make other people aware if they plan to bring their pets there to not bring them there when this customer says it is pet friendly. https://foursquare.com/top-places/austin/best-places-gelato read more

Dolce Neve - Gelato Near Me - Austin, Texas

While running around Austin with my Yelpy pals after hours, we wanted dessert after a fantastic dinner. Nearby we had seen this ice cream shop and set our sights on it before even paying our bill at dinner. They were super sweet inside, and I don't mean just the gelato. We were able to try a few options before settling in with our choices. I'm always so amazed at how filling just a small size of the stuff can be! All those rich flavors really are satisfying. On a scale of gelato from 'round the world that I've had the pleasure to try this was a solid experience - I was a fan of the flavors offered and the gelato sandwiches were super tempting!! they will also do a custom Gelato cake for you with a few days notice - I mean, what a birthday that would be!! It's owned by a lady, her love and her brother - so support small business and give it a try! read more

One thing I've noticed about the Austin food scene is that the focus seems to be on the quaint little shop, or food truck, rather that the 150-seat venue that seems like it's a scene from that romantic comedy you saw a few years ago. While I do like romantic comedies, lots of times I'd prefer the indie flick that hardly anyone's heard of, but is so entertaining. Well, Dolce Neve is a mix of both. It's not that big gelato shop with huge containers of gelato, but it's also not that small shop that's a speak-easy establishment. They have almost 400 reviews and rated at 4.5 stars. That's extremely tough to do on Yelp without people knowing about it. We came on a hot Sunday afternoon. Parking is located at the back and on the street. As I said, the shop is small with about 4-5 tables (depending on if you put them together). I was warmly greeted by both people working there at the time. I told them it was my first time and they happily explained their offerings. They have a good selection of gelato that is hand-scooped into a cup or cone. However, my eyes immediately focused on their gelato sandwiches. My wife went with the salted caramel ice cream bar and I followed suit with a Stracciatella........... after my 3 flavors of gelato. Yes, while my wife went with the incredibly delicious salted caramel gelato bar, I went the traditional route and tried a cup of pistachio, chocolate, and salted caramel (recommended by the lady who helped me). While all 3 were spectacular, the Stracciatella gelato sandwich was calling my name. So, I "man'd up," and got that, too. =) Everything was so unbelievably fresh and comforting. I wish we had time in Austin to go back. Tip: The shop is right around the corner from the "Greetings From Austin" sign. Go take the obligatory mural picture and then go enjoy some damn good gelato! read more

I walked over to Elisabeth Street Cafe and noticed Dolce Neve on my way. A sign that said 'local, Italian Gelato' was practically shouting my name. I love gelato. It is literally one of my favorite things in this world. I decided to walk over and pop my head in to assess the situation. They looked like they were putting sincere effort in here. As I did not want to spoil my dinner, I decided to wait until after dinner and head back over. We were a group of about seven people and the staff was ready to help. I tasted a couple different flavors and settled on the chocolate mascarpone with salted caramel, because everyone knows chocolate and caramel go together like, well, chocolate and caramel. The small cup is tiny, but they manage to pile the ice cream so incredibly high! It was good quality and definitely hit the spot for my ice cream craving. read more

This place is so cute! I understand that going at a late hour on a Saturday night drastically decreases my opportunities and enjoyment, but that is on me, not you! I was totally set on ordering the 70% chocolate gelato listed on the order board, but I was intrigued by the random, one off vegan offering remaining for the night, coconut milk and red raspberry jam gelato. Holy Moses, that was awesome! I couldn't even begin to enjoy the samples my husband was requesting, and he asked for a lot. Once I tasted that vegan mumbo jumbo, I was hooked. I don't care if food is vegan, gluten free, nut free, or whatever, I loved my small cup of coconut milk with raspberry jam gelato, and I practically licked the disposable cup clean (and held on to the plastic spoon/shovel like it contained the secrets to the universe). I have heard that the salted caramel gelato will change my life forever, and I believe those people, but I will refrain from a fifth star until I experience it for myself! read more

Really good gelato, had the chocolate orange and the salted caramel. My gf had the chocolate chip with the hazelnut, also really good. Hazelnut was my favorite flavor so far. Definitely coming back to try other flavors. read more

Dolce Neve is our go-to gelato shop here in Austin! They have tons of interesting flavors - goat cheese & pecan, hazelnut rice milk, ricotta & pistachio, lemon mascarpone... everyday different flavors are created and featured. The gelato itself has the perfect texture. Very satisfying on a hot Texas summer day. Most people seem to pop in for a quick trip and so the parking lot has never been so crowded that we can't find a spot. There's a small lot in the back. The employees here are great and willing to give you samples to try - what do you expect with all those flavors! I do have to note at this point - please everybody - if there is a long line, do not sample EVERY flavor. Try a couple and move on. Thank you. Quick tip - Dolce Neve continues to be featured on Paypal deals. Use the app to get ~$5 off. read more
