    This was a great hidden gem to find in the area!! I was looking for new shops, mainly cause I love ice cream but also other things caught my eye here! First and foremost, the shop is so cute and the gelato is delicious. The employee was great at explaining things to us and letting us sample multiple flavors. I ordered classic with toasted coconut and lizard cherry stracc. Was an amazing combo and the extra crisp and puff was delicious! They also have a small order of the puffs (Zeppole) on their own and they were amazing. My partner ordered the Madagascar vanilla and it was equally delicious. The best part of this place is that it is a chain of Rossa establishments. Connected to it is a speak easy that is accessible through a hidden sliding door on one end of the restaurant as well as a small outside door. It was closed on my visit but will be sure to visit. Same for the extra restaurant next door that smelled amazing from outside. All in all an amazing shop and will definitely be revisiting!

    I came here last weekend for gelato in the late afternoon with only two other cars in the absolutely tiny parking lot and by the time we ordered and sat outside with our gelato, the lot was full and people were parking at the building next door (not sure if that's allowed or not). I tried the stracciatella with cherry (didn't have much cherry flavor) and I ended up getting the espresso gelato (one of my go to flavors) and it was one of the best ones I've tried in Houston. It was super strong, had espresso powder bits in it, and came with a cone chip and fried dough ball, which was a nice touch. They don't take cash which was kind of annoying and there's few seating there as it was a small space (indoor/outdoor). Would definitely come back!

    I absolutely love this place. I had just tried it for the first time since I was craving it and this place did not disappoint. It was soo good and it was cute interior, like an old time ice cream shop. We also spent a lot of time talking with the worker, they were both really personable and they made the whole experience so welcoming. I would absolutely go again, or even to the other connecting buildings. The shop is connected to a speakeasy and a italian restaurant that all three are under the same ownership. Definitely a good date night spot!

    Aesthetically pleasing. Good service. Great gelato! The cookie it comes with is very tasty too. 5 of us tried 5 different flavors and were all happy.

    The ladies are so nice and take their time with you. You can try all the flavors, if you would like. Perfect for this heat in Houston! I was told it is pretty similar to the gelato in Italy!

    A Truly Delicious Breakfast Experience at The Sweet Spot!…read more I had an absolutely wonderful breakfast at The Sweet Spot--everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere was on point! I ordered the Green Chilaquiles and Red Enchiladas, both topped with perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs and served with flavorful beans on the side. You could taste that everything was made fresh from scratch--the ingredients were vibrant, and the flavors were rich and authentic. The owner personally came by and recommended trying the green salsa with the chilaquiles and red salsa on the side--great advice! The green salsa had the perfect kick and complemented the dish beautifully. The service was amazing--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The ambience was cozy and inviting, making it a great place to start the day. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. Highly recommend this gem if you're looking for a homemade, satisfying meal served with heart!

That alone made the experience feel thoughtful and welcoming. They are also open late, which I loved. I had already dined in the area, so this ended up being the perfect post dinner treat. I have been here before, but it had been a long time, and it was great to return and enjoy it again. The ambience was warm and inviting, and the overall environment made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. I ordered a kid's cup, and it was honestly the perfect amount. Anything larger would have been too much for me, so the price point felt very fair for the portion and quality. I also tried the macaron and the tea. Both were fine but nothing standout for me. I have had better macarons and better tea elsewhere, and as someone who really appreciates good tea, it was decent but not something I would go back for specifically. That said, the gelato alone is absolutely worth returning for and even making a drive for. The space itself is very small and cozy, more of a boutique style spot. It is ideal for individuals, couples, or very small groups. Larger groups may prefer to enjoy their treats outdoors around the plaza and then move along, as this is more of a grab and go or short stay kind of place. Overall, I would definitely be back. The gelato is truly the star here and well worth it.

The decor is a lovely light mint green on the walls, with sparse but cute French curios. The area is spacious and tidy, with plenty of room to look at the well organized gelato flavors and rows of never ending macaron flavors. The employee at the counter was also one of the friendliest and most helpful people I have encountered in a while. She immediately asked if we would like samples, which was a pleasant surprise. And the actual desserts-PERFECTION. I love macarons, and am therefore a rather critic. The macarons are sold in singles and various sized boxes. I bought a box of 6, red velvet, lemon, strawberry, milk chocolate x2 and biscoff. The biscuit was light and chewy, while the interior was luscious and packed an accurate flavor punch. The Ferrero macaron gelato was a wonder. Somehow this macaron incorporated into the gelato retained their consistency and texture. Overall, a great experience and one I will be recreating!

    This ice cream shop is located in Rice Village on Amherst where there's a row of metered parking…read moreright in front of the shop, but also complimentary 2-hour rooftop garage parking just above. The shop has a simple layout with only three small tables and a restroom down the left hallway. On a weekday afternoon, there weren't a lot of customers and only a few individuals came and went as we were enjoying our ice cream inside. The staff were enthusiastic and greeted us upon entrance and offered samples on any of their ice creams. They have many classic flavors as well as unique ones, which were tempting to get. There were a few flavors that sounded really good, but were too light on the bold flavor the ice cream was trying to show (for example, the big face coffee affogato and the mango sticky rice). Since Van Leeuwen Ice Cream stemmed from NYC and is known for its rich, velvety texture and double-egg based dairy ice cream, I expected more. However, the praline butter cake and earl grey tea flavors were tasty and enticing, though I settled for their strawberry matcha. That strawberry flavor was natural tasting and slightly tart yet sweet, while the matcha was creamy yet a bit earthy... a well balanced scoop! The sugar cone was nice and crispy and not overwhelmingly sweet. We dressed the praline butter cake scoop in a cup with a salted caramel drizzle, which was indulgent. The salted caramel drizzle was a bit overpowering the ice cream, but still a good combination. The menu is structured to serve ice cream by the single scoop ($6.95), double scoop ($8.25), or triple scoop ($9.25), so the more you get the better bang for your buck. It seems like a fancier ice cream experience overall as the prices are more than the typical shop around. Additionally, the ice cream can be served in a cup or a cone if you prefer, with sugar cones complimentary, but waffle cones come with a charge. There are 10+ vegan ice creams in store for those who would like dairy-free alternatives and a plethora of toppings like sauces, crumbles, and drizzles. There are also sundaes on their menu which are perfect for sharing or fine for oneself (if you please). I would say Van Leeuwen has some attractive flavors and good quality ice creams I'd love to come back for sometime. Note: If you're a health care worker and show the staff your badge upon checkout, there's a discount. Plus, on Tuesdays, the first topping is free.

We also decided to purchase some chocolate. The person at the till showed us a couple of chocolate box options, and we chose the large one to fill with amazing and interesting chocolates. Yummmm We also asked for a bar of the viral Dubai chocolate bar. The employee said he had already added it to our box! We asked him twice, and he agreed. We complimented his stealth and efficiency. He even charged for it. When we got home, the Dubai chocolate was nowhere to be found. It wasn't in the box, the bag, or anywhere else, but there was definitely an additional charge on our receipt for it. Why did the employee double down on confirming that it was in the bag if it wasn't? While I want to assume it was an innocent mistake, this was an utterly disappointing customer service experience, even though it had a really welcoming vibe set up by the Syrian traditional family and their history depicted on the walls. I'll think twice before visiting this place again, despite its lovely family history.
