While visiting Boulder I was really in the mood for ice cream and so I stopped by Gelato Boy. It is a pretty small shop. Clean aesthetic. I tried their ice cream sandwich. The cookies were nothing special. Ice cream though is always tasty. I really like their lavender poppy flavor, unique and flavorful. One star off because there is no way to get to this shop without using stairs, so not wheelchair accessible. It did not seem that there were any restrooms available either. The service was very average too. read more

I first had gelato boy in boulder so when I was looking for a sweet treat, I was thrilled to learn there was a gelato boy in downtown. This is a great little spot to get a treat while waiting for a show to start at the Paramount. There are lots of flavors to try from something not really sweet to salty to a sorbet. I think there's something for everyone. They let you try samples. The gelato is quite tasty. It's very creamy but not super sweet. I like that it's quite rich and thick. They give you a good amount in one scoop. I had the pistachio and I highly recommend it if you are a pistachio person. read more

Excellent Gelato and such a nice treat after walking Pearl Street! We all.opted for the small size cups (plenty big portions!) Two of us chose two flavors each (you have up.to two flavors in a small and up to three flavors with a regular). Busy place on a beautiful weekend day. Only one staff member working but he did a great job keeping up along with being polite and ask Ling how our day was going! Gelato flavors - Lavendar Poppy, Sicilian, Pistachio, Coffee Chip, and Carmelized Tiramisu! All winners! We are on vacation here in Boulder and plan to revist Gelato Boy again and again! read more

Still a 5 after all these years. I am in this area a lot but have been frugal with my calories recently. But the power of suggestion is real. When I saw a Yelp picture of their new summer flavor, I knew I needed it for dessert tonight. It was really really good. They used to have such inventive and frequently changing flavors. But they, like everyone else , lost a lot of momentum over the last 4 years. I'm so glad I saw this new summer flavor on Yelp today. And happy they have yet another location in Denver for the locals and visitors down there. And it all started at the Boulder Farmers Market about 12 years ago, under the original Italian name, Fiore di Latte. Still growing and pleasing us in Colorado. read more

Two small benches on both sides of entrance with small tables for indoor seating. I saw several stools out on the sidewalk. The staff was pleasant and didn't acted rushed despite the crowd.

The texture of the gelato wasn't creamy, it was more like the texture of ice cream. I ordered a small (two flavors) in a Waffle Cone. Salty Cookies + Cream: The flavor was mild - the most memorable part was the slight saltiness. Gooey Buttercake + Caramel: I definitely liked this flavor better. The caramel flavor was really intense which caused it to be a little too sweet for me. read more

Visited their other location a few months ago when we first visited Colorado, didn't realize they had 2 locations so close to each other. Got to check out this location this time around and it was just as cute. Their service was amazing!! Masks weren't really being worn here but then again I think majority of Colorado isn't really wearing masks anymore either. They rotate their flavors often, they didn't have mint this time around so I got the peach crumble & s'mores!! They were both so good & satisfying! The consistency of the gelato at this location was better than their other location. It was much thicker & creamier. Also they close at 10 pm here! I checked in on YELP for a free waffle cone but since they were out, the cashier gave me $2 off which was super nicer of her!! Had a great experience, definitely will be coming back next time I'm in town. read more

The hype is REAL at Gelato Boy! You know a business is good when there are 2 locations within a few blocks of each other on the same street. Both locations are right there on Pearl Street which is an awesome retail and dining district of Boulder, CO. A friend and I grabbed lunch at a restaurant on Pearl Street then just walked the strip which I thought was the perfect afternoon activity. There are tons of shops, restaurants and bars in this area and the roads are pedestrian only. You could truly make a whole day out of Pearl Street. Anyway, back to the gelato. The flavors were completely insane and totally not like other gelato I've had before. Gooey buttercake caramel was my absolute favorite! Lavender poppy and salty cookes & cream also caught my eye. They were making homemade waffle cones in a waffle maker while we were standing in line and you can just imagine how great that smelled! Gelato boy was the perfect stop for a delicious afternoon treat on a beautiful fall day in Boulder! read more

Nice sweet treat and the Pearl Street Mall is an awesome place to walk around. There are actually two Gelato Boy locations on opposite ends. Check in on Yelp to get a free waffle cone upgrade! Overall gelato consistency was excellent and it didn't melt quickly. - The gooey buttercake with caramel is a phenomenal flavor highly recommend! Rich flavor, cake chunks, and not overly sweet 5/5 - The pistachio didn't have as much flavor to pair against the gooey buttercake but I think would be a classic flavor 3.5/5 Waffle cone was crisp and delicious; saw fresh ones being made in store and it smelled so good. Didn't get soggy from gelato 5/5 Note because of Covid there are no flavor samples right now, but staff was helpful describing flavors and the popularity level read more

We were looking for a dessert spot in Boulder while visiting and happened upon Gelato Boy. Let me start by saying this is some of the best flavors and texture of gelato that I have had in the US. We decided on a flight with 6 flavors to share. In order of our favorites: lavender, gooey butter cake, chocolate hazelnut, chocolate malt, stracciatella, and raspberry choco chip. I really like chewy ice cream and this hit the spot to give me just that. It's a pretty good price for a flight of 6 scoops honestly. I have Jenis ice cream to compare some of these similar flavors to, and I actually liked the flavors and texture here better than Jenis. Definitely worth a try on a hot summer day when you're in the area. read more

Van Leeuwen has great ice cream, no question. The coffee flavor was excellent, genuinely good…read morestuff. But four stars instead of five because whoever is portioning the waffle cones needs a reality check. Two small scoops and not even filling the cone is not it. When I'm holding a waffle cone, I have expectations. There is a cone-to-ice-cream ratio that society has agreed upon and this did not meet it. The quality of the ice cream itself saved this review. If the portions matched the product, we're talking five stars easy. Get it together on the cone situation and we'll revisit.

One of the really nice things is that they do make their ice cream on the premises and in small batches. They use nice little metal tubs in the case, like a gelato shop, and it looks so much more appetizing than those old messy cardboard tubs some other places use. The super friendly young man at the counter happily sold me the small kid's size which is all I can handle. I got my favorite, coffee, with Oreo mixed in. A win when I want to splurge. The price on this size was considerably less than a similar size at another popular place in town.

Finally got to check out Fior's second location and it's great! Smaller than the one on the other end of Pearl, but I might like it even more. It's cozier and more intimate, with the same killer gelato. I had a waffle à la mode with a churro waffle and sweet corn and blackberry (YES!) gelato, and my vegan friend was psyched about all the vegan options. Winning! read more

Delicious ice cream, but could you find a little more-enthused staff? I'm going to Fior to enjoy some ice cream, not to feel like I'm annoying the hippie staff while I'M THE ONLY ONE IN THE SHOP. Nix the snobby employees and get someone who actually smiles and greets you when you walk in the shop. read more

Although they sound way basic but worth the taste. What I mean is there are no eclectic weird sounding ice cream flavors, which typically is an expectation. When you walk into places like these. They have stuck to their basic flavors and are happy to give you samples. You just got to be mindful of the line behind you. So know what you like to sample before hand instead of making a decision while at the counter. The portions are huge. Don't underestimate the vegan options that they have because despite not being a vegan was blown away by their pineapple passion flavor. Expensive ice cream scoops but a once in a while treat.

Their chocolates are outstanding, and their gelato is tasty. If I can't decide what to get or I don't really want anything, then I still buy a small package of chocolate peanut clusters. No regrets because I eventually find myself in the mood on another day. They even have huge chocolate sculptures. I can't imagine who buys them. But I've decided... this year I will buy an obnoxiously huge chocolate sculpture for my holiday party. And we will smash it and eat it at the end of the party. It will be glorious.

I learned about membership options, which would be ideal if I wanted to work from here with some frequency. The seats are soft and comfortable. I ordered the MonteCristo crepe, filled with turkey and cheese with a warm berry dressing overtop for about $18. It was perfect and delicious, served on a beautiful wooden cutting board. The only disappointment was the plasticware instead of something more substantial. There was a nice flow of customers over the lunch hour, which is pleasant to see given that it is a bit hidden, but very close to Whole Foods and Barnes and Noble. I will be back to try some of their other creative crepes, coffees, milkshakes and smoothies. Their regular crepes have dairy and gluten, but they offer buckwheat crepes that are vegan and gluten free made with almond milk. (Although I don't think my dairy-free kid would like buckwheat.)

This spot isn't just about delicious crêpes -- it's about creating space to pause, breathe, and reset. The concept of "permission to pause" truly shines through, from the calm atmosphere to the thoughtful menu. I stopped by during their opening festivities, and it was a full celebration. The Golden Buffalo Marching Band, champagne sabering, and dancing brought incredible energy to the event. What I tried: * Parisian Crêpe: Gruyere & Swiss, jambon de Paris, honey Dijon mustard sauce * Boulder Crêpe: Gruyere & Swiss, rotisserie chicken, basil pesto, mushrooms * Citrus Confidential Crêpe: Yuzu lemon curd, blueberry compote, powdered sugar * Butter croissant and ham & cheese croissant Best bite: The Boulder Crêpe was perfection. The basil pesto tied everything together beautifully, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. If you're in Boulder--or even if you're not--this is absolutely worth the drive.
