KAYLA was SO generous with suggestions & samples, serving me up a new favorite DOUBLE - Salted Caramel Chip & Sweet Cream Caramel Brownie (flavors are self-explanatory, but placards also include tasting notes). It's quality you can taste, a perfect ratio of grass-fed happy cow milkfat, absolutely delicious in a wholesome way. I also believe I could have ice cream for breakfast with the CHURROS & COFFEE pairing, up next! Perhaps I do believe in magic, and the McConnell's promise to "save the world, one scoop at a time!"

This review is for the gelato - I haven't bought anything else in store…read more I was actually a fan of the gelato and the person who served me the gelato was great. He let me try a few options and gave recommendations based on what I was in the mood for. He seemed very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed the tiramisu ice cream the most. It is on the pricey side. At the time of this review $6 for a small and $7 for a medium, but I would probably get it again one day for the quality.

I totally understand that it's annoying to have to move when you're in the middle of something so I'm not like saying anything really bad about that. It's just like my experience when I walked in. And the place is like really whimsical like there's the sugary pops lollipops were probably the cheapest thing maybe that I saw on there and there's around the world type bags which my friend thought that it would be candy from around the world stuffed in there kind of like mystery bags I'm pretty sure her answer was that it was for display, but like I wasn't really listening because I was distracted by the Willy Wonka movie with the theater chairs and it's just like a really cool corner in there But everything was expensive for sure. None our budget for the end of the trip spare change. There was ice cream options and I think there were some Harry Potter themed things which were pretty cool

Alessio Artisanal Gelato is located on the main Mission Drive in Solvang and open Wednesday to Sunday from 12-6pm! It's a cute little shop with no tables inside, but a nice outdoor area, that is shared with the other businesses surrounding it. They had a lot of great flavors, but my daughter and I decided on Pistachio - it was really good. Nice and creamy with a great pistachio flavor! Alessio Artisanal Gelato prides themselves on real ingredients, real flavors and real fun. They also offer new flavors every week! Staff were also really friendly and helpful too! If you're looking for a sweet treat, I would definitely stop in and check out Alessio Artisanal Gelato if you're in the mood for something other than a bakery!

The only thing I didn't care for was spinach in my sandwich instead of fresh basil. The spinach was in the list of the panini ingredients, though, but I believe, there's no spinach in Caprese salad so it shouldn't be in a sandwich either. The crepe was good, although it was on a paler side, needed a bit more browning in my opinion, and our coffee was good, too. Will try out sweet crepes next time, for sure.

It was about a 15 minute wait, which was not bad for Saturday afternoon. Tondi Gelato hand churns the gelato (which they advertised in front), so I was excited to try. There were tons of flavors and they also allow you to mix. I decided on salted caramel and strawberries and cream. Once I got to the front, I was in and out in about 5 minutes. They also put on whipped cream, which I opted to skip. There's a small patio for seating, but I wandered around state street. The ice cream was pretty delicious, so creamy and tasty. The only thing is that my strawberry and cream over flavored the caramel. So I ate them one side at a time (lol). Next time, I will pick other flavors that mesh better. Definitely a must try when you're on state street. They also have a ton of vegan options, which looked really good.

Glad to have stopped by to enjoy this excellent sheep milk ice cream before leaving Paso!…read more Been wanting to check out Negranti ever since tasted their lavender flavor at the Lavender farm when in the area some 2 years ago. Wife and kid didn't care for it, but I enjoyed that novelty flavor and the quality of the ice cream. So many more flavors were. Such a cute area, overall relaxing atmosphere in the Tin City lol. The first thing that hit as we entered the store was the smell of waffle cones! Wife immediately said we need to get waffle cones. Friendly young folks helped with samples and order. Got a cone to share with salted brown sugar & wife always chooses coffee. Both were delicious, creamy, superb quality, and very easy to digest, lol! Even my kid who usually doesn't eat regular ice cream went for the waffle cone with a cookie flavor and he ate it all by himself and loved it! He did not eat any other ice cream during spring break, and he still wants to have this sheep milk ice cream again. Something about sheep milk is just gentler on the body. Should have bought the kid Negranti again on the way down from Paso, when passing thru SLO. Oh well, if don't come back to Paso, maybe will have to get him if we ever go to Phoenix, AZ since I found a location there of all places! If can set up all the way in Arizona, please bring this down to the LA/OC area! Better yet, sell it in the markets, so I can pick it up in Walmart to keep my kid happy!!!
