The best gelato in Denver! So light and flavorful I could go every night! I love that you can get a small size with 2 different flavors.
This little shop is located along 16 th street right across from the mall. There is metered street parking and commercial parking garages within a reasonable walking distance. The shop serves an assortment of exotic gelato that you can get in a cup, a la mode, or as a cookie sandwich. I opted to go with the cookie sandwich. They allow you to try samples of their ice cream using washable metal spoons. They have a couple of table/chairs in the dining area to eat. There is also a few chairs on the patio out front. I ate my treat on one of the benches along 16 th street. The staff there were very friendly. After getting a sample, I ordered a Hot Honey Biscuit ice cream cookie. It took a few minutes for the woman to prepare it. It was served in styrofoam container. It started of tasting really good. Then As I progressed through eating it, it just became average tasting and the cookie started to overwhelm the ice cream. It was odd. I think the cookie could have been better also. With that being said, I still would probably visit this place again. My frozen treat was not horrible and they have many other options for me to try.
Kinda the highlight of my evening! Greeted immediately by the friendly staff. Menu clearly marked four dairy-free options. This shop restricts samples by a certain time in the evening (time unknown), but staff was nice enough to provide her recommendations. Small size can accommodate two flavors. So we ordered Mango Coconut and Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chunk. WOW! https://yelp.to/rRmcXx5imM The flavors rocked my world! These vegan options are made with a coconut base and the consistency has a bit of a stretchy texture. Perfect ratio of gelato to mixed-in ingredients (chocolate chunks, shredded coconut, bits of mango). I especially like that the chocolate chunks were chunky without being super hard to bite into. Small shop with about 3 tables. We were the only ones in there at 9:30pm on a Thursday. But then it became crowded just before we left. Absulutely a memorable sweet spot during our trip to Denver. I wonder if they ship to SoCal :)
Great spot for a desert spot along 16th street! We stopped here after dinner while on a walk for the evening and enjoyed a tasty treat. Services was friendly and the gelato was tasty. It's exactly what you expect and makes for a great experience as you are walking down 16th street area, There are multiple flavors to choose from. Worth stoping by,. The place is counter service. There are a few tables outside too, but we were just fine taking it on the go.
I stopped in here with a friend after dinner and while there was a line, it moved quickly. I had a small with Chocolate hazelnut crunch and peanut butter brownie; a small is 2 scoops so you can pick two flavors. If you want just one scoop they have an extra small. I went with a cup instead of a cone because it was so hot out and I envisioned ice cream dripping all over, but the waffle comes looked good. Both flavors were excellent. There is a fair amount of seating on benches in the area; definitely plan to eat outside as the place is pretty small and there isn't much room inside.
Happened to see this place on the way back from lunch to our hotel in downtown Denver and we were just in the mood for something sweet. We went in on a late Friday afternoon and there was no wait and the tables were completely empty. Staff were very helpful and friendly and you are free to sample as much of the gelato as you like. They have a regular waffle or a churro waffle and I was recommended their churro waffle and it didn't disappoint. Added layer of cinnamon sweet goodness (as I got it warmed) that went great with our 2 scoops of gelato. I got the salty cookies and cream and gooey butter cake with caramel. The butter cake also has a bit of sea salt in it too, so this was the perfect balance of salty sweet for me. The salty cookies and cream is mad with their own version of Oreos and is their newer take on the classic flavor. Definitely lighter and not as sweet. I believe they have dairy free and other dietary options for their ice cream, as well as cookies and brownies too. Overall, pretty good place to get some gelato!
It was super busy and crowded in there but we still had fast service. The gelato was fire - I had the salted caramel.
Very small place, but perfect for a sweet treat. The ice cream was good, waffle cone was fresh. It was a perfect treat that we ate outside.
Wednesday night around 4 PM wasn't busy at all Service was fast and friendly Nice relaxing little place The gelato itself has great flavor and great texture, it's not icy at all very creamy and has a slight stretchy texture Pistachio and vanilla poppy 11/10 for both flavors
We love how close this gelato spot was to our hotel in Downtown Denver! Gelato Boy was recommended to us, and the flavors were both classic and unique. Loved the creamy texture and chunks in the ice cream. Split small scoop was perfect night cap! Salty cookies n cream is an absolute must - not too salty and it's a fun twist on Oreo. The milk and cookies reminds me of the Ben & Jerry's flavors, with lots of cookies swirled in.
My friends and I were in the mood for gelato while shopping, so we popped into gelato boy. I like that they offer a variety of flavors and dairy free flavors. They also let you sample. I had the small lemon poppyseed and strawberry. Even for being dairy free, they were pretty creamy and had a good mouth feel. There is limited seating inside. Clean tables. I appreciated that the AC was on because it was a hot day!
Disappointed in the lack of creaminess and flavor in both my scoops - salty cookies & cream and milk & cookies. Don't think I would have been able to say what the flavors were if I didn't know ahead of time. There was also an absence of cookie pieces. I ordered a cookie and brownie and were thankful that they warmed them up, but again, not much flavor. They also didn't seem freshly baked or homemade. I'd opt for another gelato/ice cream shop based off of this experience.

Not bad, not great. But just a normal ice cream (and gelatto) shop. Good flavours and a good variety. Within the 16th street mall area, so hey your walk. In while you burn the calories from the ice cream; or milkshake for me. Small detail, but I like they have metal reusable spoons for tasting, so less trash being created; i support these details. Nothing special about decor, so you're paying for the ice cream, but the view. And for the location, they are quite nicely priced, not overcharged sure to location. Worth checking out and giving it your own opinion read more
I had the Gluten free dairy free blueberry crumble with a gluten free sugar cone and it was AMAZING. I also appreciated that the staff asked about cross contamination instead of the usual is this an allergy or preference because it's not preferred I am gluten free it's a dietary restriction for medical reasons. Anyways I haven't had an ice cream cone in so long and the ice cream was very creamy and delicious! The staff were friendly and prompt. They worked as a team and got us helped and taken care of in record time. read more

I will never say no to a gelato/ice cream spot, especially during a hot weekend in Denver! I am a sorbet type person, so I loved they had a dairy free fruity option which was strawberry. I thought the flavor was very good and not as creamy as a typical ice cream, which I thought was exactly what I was looking for. If you're shopping around the 16th Street Mall area and looking for a sweet treat to cool down, I would recommend Gelato Boy. read more
This is a cute gelato spot right on the strip of 16th street mall. The customer service was amazing. They were so friendly and answered all my questions. My nephews are the ones who actually for cones. I just taste tested two flavors the flavor I first tried was the hot honey biscuit and it literally tasted like Honey biscuit with a kick (spice) as well as some little things of actual biscuit in it as well. I liked it a lot it was creamy and all gelatos are in house made the next flavor I tried was gooey butter cake and caramel. This one was probably my favorite. It was definitely gooey and you tasted every bit of all the flavors. If I'm ever in the area I'll definitely be back to try whatever the new flavor of the week is. read more
Tucked into the 16th street mall promenade. This place was open late on a Saturday night. I loved seeing that their gelatos were soaring up high and brightly colored. You know it's good when you see those silver tops!! I chose a chocolate crunch and pistachio mix. The crunch was delicious, but the pistachio a little lacking of the regular flavor I can taste with pistachio. The service was quick and straight to the point. I do wish the place was a little more lively in terms of ambiance. It was a bit too quiet and awkward as you ordered. Kinda wish there was some tunes to help out. All in all it wasn't bad for a late night joint. read more

I ran into a random building as it started to rain on Denver and ended up buying myself a small two-scoop of gelato from Gelato Boy. I had a two-scoop of lavender poppy and salted cookies and cream-- and the combo is a winner! Bummers: - Kinda steep for such a small serving and not offering a kid scoop option... I paid nearly $7 for this business - Not a small place and seating is outside read more

What a delicious treat! They have a great little rewards program! They recently celebrated 10 years and gave away some gift cards on instagram and I was one of the lucky winners. We got to get 3 different scoops and 3 different flavors! The service was great ! The place was small but it's in another building you can cool off in while getting out of the summer heat! We tried Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch, Salty Cookies and Cream, and Raspberry Chocolate Chip! I thought all 3 flavors were delicious ! read more

Located right on 16th St. It's Gelato Boy. So expect an awesome creamy creation. My first Gelato Boy was in Boulder. There's a love story behind this incredible gelato. Native Coloradan Boy meets Italian girl in Italy. Falls in love with both girl and gelato. Gelato Boy was born. The closest thing you can get to an Italian gelato without a passport. I like their flavors. Whatever you get here you will most likely come back for more. Such great quality n creamy gelato! read more
So today I happened to catch this place out of the corner of my eye, and I decided that I would give it a go and try some of their gelato! I tried some samples, and then proceeded to place my order for a small cup of gelato. There were lots of folks ordering different kinds of flavors, and this just added to my excitement! Upon tasting the Buttercake Caramel, It was like taking a bite into love!!! The gooey richness of the caramel, combined with the soft notes of butter cake was pure bliss! I took my time eating every single last bite, while also letting the sunlight penetrate my skin. This is a great shop! Check it out! They are putting love into their gelato! read more

Visited this store over Labor Day weekend. Ordered a variety of flavors and all were delicious! So flavorful and satisfying. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The store was busy with lots of holiday customers but staff never missed a beat and customer service was excellent. Overall, we loved our experience and highly recommend! read more
Friendly service and excellent gelato is a great combo. Owner is Venetian and makes gelato like a true Italian - in covered metal containers. Taste the difference in quality when prepared this way. I'm on vacation from Los Angeles and have yet to find a place in Cali that does this! I've had their pints from Gelsons, but the texture is so much creamier when taken freshly out of the metal containers. Employees said the owner had the containers imported from Italy. Slightly on the expensive side, but yes, worth every penny. The waffle had that perfectly just made slightly crunchy slightly chewy texture. Enjoy and you're welcome read more
