This is a delayed post. Not sure why since I went there 3 times in May. Two of the visits were in the same week. The gelato is that good! Pistachio is a must try, and the coconut is a next. I got them together and separately. Serving are generous. The staff were patient while I reviewed the many choices. They even offered samples. read more

When it gets really hot the line here can get pretty long and when I went, the line was pretty long. I thought, 'man this must be really good gelato,' but it was from everyone trying to find the right flavor for them. The staff seemed overwhelmed but kept their patience and calm the entire time, guess it must be a regular thing for people to want to try everything. I really didn't want to spend any more time sampling flavors since it was so hot out so I went with the passionfruit sorbet to refresh and Honey Lavender gelato to sweeten. The sorbet was ok, syrupy would be the word I would use to describe it. The gelato...it's hard to balance flavors like Honey and Lavender, too much and it's like your eating flowers drowned in simple syrup. I understand the movitation to go the understated route but I got no Lavender from it and a bit of sweetness. Did it get the job done, yes. read more

I was really craving ice cream that evening and a couple of us had some time to kill. We waited for almost an hour bc the line was so long. Was it worth it? Yes! The flavors are great and lots of options to choose from. A huge fan of strawberry flavored gelato and they 4-5 strawberry options. They also have some not as sweet gelato options as well. The gelato shop is small w/ limited seating so if you grabbed a seat, consider yourself pretty lucky! read more

I wish their menu included the flavors. Or I wish they had a flavor list at the front of the line. It's kind of hard to have to wait to see all the flavors for the first time when the workers are waiting to take your order. There is a sheet that lists a bunch of flavors, but it includes a lot of flavors that they don't even have available so it just seems a little useless. That being said, they did have a lot of interesting flavors that looked good. But Frost gelato is definitely on the sweeter side and price is on the expensive side. Workers are super sweet though! read more

Today Austin was sizzling at 95 degrees. While tooling around the Domain shopping center I needed a refreshing treat so I dropped by Frost Gelato since it was relatively close. It was not an original idea because the place had a queue about 30+ people deep when I got there and about 15 people when I left. I had to make a split second decision to stay or go. I went inside where it was nice and cool so decided to wait it out. Surprisingly, the line went pretty fast as they had two servers. One of Frost's customers pointed me to their website regarding information regarding the composition of gelato, which I found super interesting. Thought I would share it with you... "Translated from Italian, (jeh-lot-o) literally means frozen. Although gelato is a frozen dessert, the word does not begin to describe its immense flavor and texture. Gelato is often compared to ice cream because it is a frozen, creamy product, but there are actually many differences. Unlike American ice cream, which contains 10-20% butterfat, gelato contains anywhere from 3-8% butterfat. The United States Department of Agriculture has designated that any product under 10% cannot legally be called ice cream. As a result, gelato will never be able to take the ice cream name. Gelato is able to keep the low percentages of butterfat because we only use 3% milk instead of cream, raw eggs and butter in our production. Another feature of gelato that separates itself from American ice cream is the amount of air that is incorporated into the product. Most American style ice creams incorporate anywhere from 75%-100% of air. Gelato, however, incorporates a maximum of 20%. As a result, the gelato flavors are intensified because the butterfat acts as a dam and dilutes or blocks the flavors. What does all of this information mean? Simply, that gelato is the most intense, silky, dense, cool, and flavorful "ice cream style" product that will hit your lips. The flavor is simply indescribable. An added bonus: because of all these factors, gelato is much." I sampled two flavors - sea salted caramel and black cherry and landed on sea salted caramel. While gelato is somewhat healthy, I got the smallest cup (trying to cut back on sugar and carbs, where I can). The gelato was good, but did not compare to gelato I have eaten in Italy. read more

10/10 for this location Outside seating area, you can also walk (domain is very walkable) inside the shop the tables are almost always full, but it is a good atmosphere. A little loud and hectic but all ages (old and babes) You can try different samples and the servers are patient! I've tried ice creams/gelatos/frozen yogurts and this is my OG because of its thick consistency, variety in flavors (can't get tired) and how much they serve you. read more

What a sad ice cream parlor. I've never been to any place with worse customer service. Every single person ahead of us was allowed any sample they wanted. When it was my groups turn to get samples we were told we can only taste two flavors. How the heck are you supposed to choose what you want when there are 20 some flavors and you can only taste 2 to determine what you want. I didn't end up getting anything due to the employees comment. But my friends did and ice cream was mid. Here's menu pics so you can decide what you want before you go there since it'll be limited tastings. read more

The gelato was so creamy and rich!! After coming back from Italy, I have been on a hunt for a good gelato spot. The other spots in Austin have not been meeting my expectations because they were not creamy enough. I got the pistachio, although it was creamy but I wish it had more of a nutty pistachio flavor. The other "award winning" gelato was good, but wish it was a bit more chocolatey. Tasted more of the peanut flavor. I would definitely come back to try other flavors though (especially their fruit flavors). They have so many options to choose from. Service was okay, nothing exceptional but not rude. Cute ambiance, there are seatings indoor and outdoor. read more

Finally checked out Frost on a Friday night (for the longest time I thought it was a bank ). Not only were the gelato flavors incredible, but the staff made my experience truly unforgettable with their warm and friendly service. They took the time to explain the different flavors and even offered me samples to help me decide. I felt like they truly cared about my experience and were passionate about their gelato. The gelato itself was delicious and incredibly fresh. I could tell that the ingredients were of the highest quality and that the gelato was made with care and attention to detail. The flavors were creative and unique, and I loved trying new combinations that I had never seen before. Next time, I want to try their Ge-Latte. Basically Gelato with espresso & ice. read more

I used to frequent the Domain a lot in college, and I would see a large crowd of people inside Frost Gelato. Now, I understand why. Frost Gelato has some of the best gelato I've ever had (I haven't been to Europe yet so this is strictly my opinion of North American gelato). I've sampled and tried a lot of their flavors, and I can honestly say that I don't think you can go wrong with any one of them. My favorites are any of the fruits, pistachio, coffee, and chocolate. I don't normally like chocolate as a flavor, but all of their flavors taste extremely natural and not artificial at all. Each flavor in the freezer is also decorated so beautifully. The texture itself is incredible--so smooth and creamy, and the flavors are super apparent and strong. I can't say enough good things about Frost Gelato. read more

Very convenient location in the domain. It's right next to the yard house, so rather than getting desert there it's perfect to have some gelato to cool down at hot summer weather. This place can get packed! When we first walk in, there are a couple people sitting inside, but by the time we get our gelato, there is a long line out the door. We ordered mint chocolate chip and salted Carmel flavors. The minted chocolate is really good, light mint flavor. However the salted Carmel is really really sweet.

Stopped by here after walking around the domain on a blazing hot summer day! We needed something cool to make the texas heat bearable and saw that there was a gelato shop right there! We walked up and they were so busy that the line was out the door! After spending way too much time looking at all the flavors and sampling a few, I decided to try the chocolate chip looking flavor. I forgot the name, but I decided to get a cone which was a mistake because it was so hot outside. The gelato tasted okay. Kirti liked it more than I did. I thought it tasted a little too watery and the waffle cone did not taste that sweet. Maybe I just got a bad flavor, but it just wasn't satisfying. I also felt like it was pretty overpriced. 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 pistachio gelato is intensely nutty, perfectly smooth, and easily my favorite. The raspberry is a close second - packed with fruity flavor and the texture is somehow thick n creamy despite being a sorbet. It'll be hard for me to peel away from these two options, but samples of the dark chocolate and salted caramel were also so good. Ask for two flavors if you can't decide, the servers are happy to help. Not a ton of seating/standing options but there are benches right outside.

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!!

They're in an open gravel lot with plenty of parking and some wooden picnic tables where you can sit and eat. I had the chocolate jasmine flavor and the lychee raspberry as half scoops in a size medium (the minimum size where you can get half scoops). 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. They also sell larger sizes (like by the pint I think), and chocolate with interesting flavors that is award-winning, so lots to try! The lady working there seemed hot/tired that day, but she was nice. The ambiance outside is also nice, as long as it's not too hot, since those picnic tables can end up being directly in the sun depending on the time of day and it is HOT.

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.

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.

One of my fave breakfast items I've had in Austin (and ive had some good ones!) We also had the enchilada and Churro pancakes.

I would highly recommend this spot - but keep in mind the weather as it's all outdoor and outdoor seating only.

The egg was cook to perfection, the biscuit was dry though, and the gravy was a bit weird. It was more like a dressing than gravy. 3/5 Texas hash was sweet potatoes and pulled pork in what I can guess is like a curry sauce with lime, cilantros.

I was expecting more like... breakfast sweet potatoes with a side of pulled pork, didn't expect that it was all mixed in and mashed together. 5/5 free rice Krispies, this was amazing. Probably the best home made rice Krispies I had in my life. Overall I need to comeback to try something else. Also the water here was good, didn't taste like Austin city water.
