    Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chunk (vegan)
    Harmonie T.

    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.

    Small with Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch and peanut butter brownie

    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

    Limoncello sorbet & summer strawberry

    Unique place to get something nice and cool to beat the heat. They also have seasonal flavors

    Milk and cookies, salty cookies and cream
    Yuri J.

    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!

    Salty Cookies Cream & Milk and Cookies - unfortunately neither scoop offered much flavor or mix-ins
    Laura G.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This was great gelato- particularly the pistachio flavor- but it seemed thick enough to be ice cream. Very delicious though!

As a tourist myself, I had to try it for myself. At first, I noticed that there was a growing line of people in front of the big silver Little Man Ice Cream tin located in the middle of the area. But found that the express line had all the flavors that I was intrigued by. So, I gladly skipped the long line to join the very quick express line to quickly get the flavors that I wanted. I personally decided to try a small cup with 2 flavors. SALTY O's Just like it says, Salty O's is salty. I expected a slightly less salty flavor like flavors such as salted caramel do, but it was almost a bit too much salt content inside an otherwise very sweet flavor. I almost regretted getting this flavor because with each bite, the salt was getting a bit overpowering. BANANA PUDDING This was probably my preferred flavor of the two. It didn't necessarily have a strong banana flavor punching through, but it was the right amount of sweetness that I wanted in an ice cream flavor.

When I asked for a cone, she rolled her eyes and threw the cup down, which made me feel unwelcome. What stood out even more was the difference in how customers were treated. The group after me was offered samples and greeted more warmly, while I wasn't offered any and was simply asked, "what do you want?" The contrast in service made the experience feel uncomfortable. Overall, the ice cream was great, but the service left a bad impression.
