This is maybe the third visit to Fantasticks and each time I've been impressed with them…read more Fantasticks covers all the bases gelato in a bowl and stick options and vegan options. The sticks can be covered with 2 or more toppings followed by a drizzle of chocolate, caramel or strawberry. The only tricky part is that the dip cools down very quickly. If they don't put the toppings on very soon after the dip then the toppings don't stick and roll off into the container. Still great but kind of ruins the presentation.

Not sure how to rate my past experiences with Three Whistles but it shouldnt discourage you either…read more The first time around we were in search for some good coffee in the area. We tried their vanilla lattes with soy and oat milks, it was just average. We did however, enjoyed the big work space and free wifi! The second time we visited it was for some dessert. We tried their gelato and it tasted pretty fresh! So def try if youre in the area!

The girls at the front were so sweet and patient while I ask a million questions. I wasn't mad about spending $15 on a beet root latte and an egg and cheese bagel! The latte was so pretty pink and balanced well with a splash of vanilla syrup. My bagel sand was piping hot and the cheese was nice and gooey. After eating you'll have to bus your own table. Great place.

I was in…read morethe mood for something sweet, so we trekked over and tried some samples before selecting a few flavors we fell in love with: Ortolato, Dubai Pistachio, Coconut and Tiramisu. Seating inside is somewhat limited. Fortunately, there's a nice backyard with additional seating so you can enjoy your sweet treat outdoors.

Another beautiful impromptu date find!…read more Service: this is a small business and the service was friendly and good Orders: I ordered the Oreolato and Dubai Pistachio Chocolate-OMG! Both were DIVINE! My boyfriend ordered the Tiramisu and Coconut- Another DIVINE mix! The gelato were delicious and for the low cost, we received 2 hefty scoops. The backyard seating was a great touch to relax and enjoy your desserts and there were additional seats inside the shop and in the front of the store. Overall, I would say that this spot was worth the visit and it's within the vicinity of other great dessert shops. Happy to have found this place and cannot wait to return.

Venchi Tysons is such a treat. I tried the matcha and strawberry sorbet (both pictured), and every…read morebite was delicious--fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and it's easy to see why Venchi has built such a strong reputation. Liliana was incredibly kind and helpful, offering plenty of samples so I could find the perfect combination. The gelato is clearly made with care, and the overall experience feels like a little slice of Italy. Definitely a spot worth savoring and coming back to.

I wanted some ice cream or gelato after dinner but before seeing a movie, and friend said this spot…read morealways had a line. I had actually been to a couple of Venchi locations in airports for chocolate, but hadn't realize they served gelato and had never had theirs. It was a very strange experience, though. We walk up to the ice cream counter to look at the flavors and they say we have to stand behind the register. We inquire as to whether we can taste flavors and they say yes, but only after you've purchased your ice cream. The issue with that is how do I know if I want one or two flavors until after I've tasted the gelato? I assume kids were coming in and tasting a bunch without buying anything, but then ask for a deposit or something. It doesn't make any sense to not be able to look at or taste the flavors before you have to order. I only tasted two flavors because they were making me so uncomfortable, and selected the second one I tasted--a dark chocolate flavor that wasn't honestly pretty darn excellent. So 5 stars for the actual taste (and their chocolates) and minus a star for the service.

I will also add it was clean as well. We went here for pi day and the pizza pie did not disappoint. I ate all that goodness in one sitting. That's how good that pizza was. I truly felt like fat bastard and told that margarita pizza get in my belly. Everything was cooked to perfection. The freshly squeezed lemonade was really good but I dont think they offer free refills because we never got one and I wish they did because it was so delicious. Our server was very polite and greeted us with a glass of water which is always appreciated. The food didnt take long to arrive at our table. I have to add these pizza are pretty pricey. This is a treat yourself pizza pie not a everyday day pizza pie. But, if you got it like that by all means go weekly. You will not be disappointed. If not go monthly. Overall, its a good dining experience. I would definitely recommend.

The Yelp event gave me an opportunity to try their popsicles, so this time around I tried their gelato. I tried the Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch and the Cookie Monster flavors. They were delicious! The chocolate hazelnut crunch could be too sweet for some people, but it was pretty good to me. The Cookie Monster flavor was just a perfect combo. They gave a pretty hearty portion size, too, which is awesome! The staff were really friendly and patient while I asked for samples and recommendations. There were a few people waiting behind me so I tried to hurry, but I never felt pressured by the staff. I would definitely keep coming back when I have cravings! Definitely recommend.

They had just opened at noon, so we were excited to be some of the first customers and check out the flavors of the day! The young lady working was super friendly, professional, and genuinely seemed happy to be there--which made our experience even better. She kindly offered us samples of several flavors, which helped us narrow down our choices. I ended up going with a scoop of Piña Colada and something new to me called Candy Dream--a purple gelato that surprisingly tasted like strawberries. Super refreshing and different in a good way! I got mine in a waffle cone, but was a little bummed to find out it was the last one already--only an hour after opening. My husband had to go with a sugar cone, which was still tasty, just not his first choice. We originally came in hoping for chocolate, peanut butter, or salted caramel, but learned they rotate flavors daily--so what's on the menu board isn't always available. Just something to know ahead of time if you're craving something specific. Overall, great little spot with delicious gelato and warm, welcoming service. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors (and hopefully snag a waffle cone next time)!

Arrived in the afternoon during a busy weekend and decided to take out for desserts. My first visit and was underwhelmed by the service received. Rushed and transactional. Packaging was very sloppy and my napoleons were shoved to the side, making the clear clamshells very messy when I arrived home. If only the desserts were saving grace, but was left disappointed as well. As others have mentioned, the pastries do not taste fresh. The ricotta cream in the original cannoli tasted warm and gritty, the shell was stale. I noticed these were sitting out. The puff pastry in the Napoleons were soggy. The cream puffs shell was stale and chocolate topping was super sweet, unfortunately these were far from heavenly. Maybe another day, Vaccaro.

The vibe inside was relaxing. We were here for a few hours enjoying our coffee, tea and desserts and it was a nice place to pass the time on a cold, freezing day. The thing that dropped the review was basically the coffee and desserts. The coffee was fine, but just your standard coffee that you'd find at any gas station. The cannoli was overly sweet and the cookies we ordered felt stale. Interestingly, they charge more for sit down desserts vs. takeout. The servers were very sweet to share that we could order takeout and not have to pay the extra fee. Finally, not sure why, but there was not a lot of heating inside the restaurant. We ate with our jackets on, which was fine. But found that to be a little odd. Nobody seemed to know why they couldn't get the heat on. When it's below freezing, it would be nice to escape the chill. Overall, it was a nice stop. My kids loved it. But it was not without some quirks.

I prefer to get mine with dark chocolate ice cream as it makes for a rich & not too sweet affogato. They have a beverage menu, gelato & sorbet menu, as well as frozen pints of gelato to-go. The three girls working today were wonderful & friendly which was refreshing to see as the last time I came the staff was rather distant & not engaged (miserable). Thanks for a very nice Sunday treat and for your gracious staff.
