    Hazelnut and Passionfruit Cheesecake Gelato
    Ray B.

    This is now my favorite ice cream/gelato in the city. I got two flavors, hazelnut and passionfruit cheesecake. I could have cried it was so good. I will be back; I LOVE hazelnut gelato and I can never find a simple hazelnut base gelato anywhere in the state. Now I can!!!!! Amazing showstopping gelato. Thank you, the staff were so nice!!!

    I adore this place! They come out with new flavors every week, so there's always something exciting to try. The staff is so friendly. You can enjoy your gelato outside or in their cozy annex room. The best is by far the biscoff flavor! Truly anything you get here is fantastic though.

    My son and his friends enjoy outings to Covington. After taking me out for a Mother's Day Brunch, we walked about a block away because he thought I would really enjoy the gelato at Golden Gelato. It was a quaint shop with all of these wonderful flavors. Truly, it's hard to decide. I sampled two flavors and got a medium-sized container with a scoop of Biscoff and a scoop of Pistachio. They are two of my favorites and they did not disappoint. The Biscoff gelato is smooth and creamy with a light cookie flavor. You get a bit of cinnamon and caramel, like the taste of a Biscoff cookie. Pistachio Gelato was delicious. The pistachio flavor is soft and real--not fake or too strong. It's simple, smooth, and a nice change if you're in the mood for something less sugary. There was an indoor seating area there, so we opted for that. I will definitely be back to try many of their other offerings.

    Absolutely delicious! Unique flavors that are bold. Friendly staff and plenty of seating in the room next door. I enjoyed my pistachio gelato and the comfy couch to sit on. I will definitely be back.

    I'm so glad this little gem is part of our community! The best gelato I've ever had! The shop has rotating weekly flavors which keeps it more exciting. The workers were super kind and let us sample different flavors. We sampled pistachios, hazelnut and stracciatella (chocolate chip). All were amazing but we ended up going home with a pint of the pistachios. The flavors are vibrant and the gelato is super creamy. They also sell pints at St. Francis Apizza in Hyde Park too.

    This place was recommended to me and did not disappoint. I got two flavors - Bacio (hazelnut) and the Espresso Chip, and both were delicious! I will definitely be going back! Also had great service - the person helping me was friendly!

    Easily some of the best gelato I've had -- fresh ingredients, rotating flavors, and perfect texture. The store may look humble on the outside, but this place is the real deal. Simple setup when you walk in with the fridge straight ahead. We were greeted warmly by the staff and they gave explanations for many of the flavors that were available. They genuinely seemed excited to share what they had to offer with us. We ordered the Fiore di latte, dark chocolate, berry cheesecake. Every flavor was a banger. Deep, rich, and creamy with strong flavor. You honestly probably couldn't go wrong with any of their flavors. Will definitely be back when we are craving gelato! Looking forward to the summer already.

    My daughter and I were in the mood for a delicious dessert on a beautiful day. We decided to try Golden Gelato and were very pleased with our choice! My daughter decided on the Biscoff and the blueberry mascarpone in the waffle cone (that is what drew us in the first place, the smell of the fresh cones being made...). The gelato was perfect, the flavors were so fresh and delicious. I asked if we could buy the cones to take home.... They're that good!! I ordered one scoop of the black cherry/chocolate cake flavor (forget the original name) and it was insanely delicious! We will be back to try the rotating flavors and they also have a super cute game room/sitting room that is connected called "the lounge" and there were nice sitting areas and games! Friendly staff and the prices were very reasonable! Thank you for the wonderful gelato and fun experience!!

    Best. Gelato. Ever. This is my go-to for any time I want some kind of frozen dessert. Their options always rotate and they include seasonal options. The one flavor they have every day is biscoff, which is great because it's my favorite. I've enjoyed the pistachio and stratachella flavors. They also include vegan options daily. Service is always excellent. It's a tiny place, but they have seating in the room next to theirs, as well as a couple of tables outside. Highly recommend.

    Getting the last of the pistachio gelato!

    Facciamo una passegiata nel Cov! Walk south on Madison and turn west on Pike. Golden Gelato. Two scoops -- stracciatella and pistachio -- boom! Transport to Bella Italia without the scary, improbable, but mysteriously operable physics of Italian vehicular traffic. This is good stuff. Buonissimo, as they say. Choose traditional Italian flavors (see above) or local ones like Bourbon Old Fashioned or Pumpkin Spice. (See photo.) The friendly gelataio invited our dogs inside and offered them an Italian version of a pup cup --Fior di Latte -- milk gelato. Lucky dogs. (Golden Gelato also makes dog treats, the proceeds of which are donated to a local rescue.) We sat outside (one bench and one cafe table available), watching the Covington traffic -- on foot, wheels, and rails -- go by. Un gustino della dolce vita!!

    Super cute spot with a gorgeous interior. They have very unique gelato flavors. I took my daughter here for a mommy daughter date and we had nectarine sorbet, goat cheese gelato and a tropical gelato. All great! Everyone was very nice too.

    Went in for the lemon cookie but I was a week late lol had the biscoff and hubby had the adult size. Amazing, and delicious.

    I stopped by after a "Tour and Treat" at the market and enjoyed taking in all of the flavor variety…read moreavailable! I had a couple children with me who were eager to sample multiple flavors, and the gentleman helping us was extremely patient with the kids. One of my kids opted to try Rose Petal, and the other the Italian Stallion flavor, which I thought was impressive given they would typically just choose chocolate or vanilla! All of the flavors looked so delicious and we were compelled to try the unique ones. A small cup of gelato is a pretty generous portion and it is so rich that it fills you up. Which is good, because I think the small comes out about a seven dollar price point, which is pretty pricey for my budget. This location is right inside one of the main outdoor seating areas, so there's plenty of spots to sit on a nice day. There are 3 to 4 seats at the bar directly by the register. I tried gooey butter cake, which was delicious as you would expect! The gelato was cream cheese based with fresh chunks of cake. Delicious, I'll be back!

Service is always excellent and they welcome you to sample a flavor before you commit to try, but I warn you that you will most likely get a scoop of whatever you try no matter how weird you initially think the flavor to be! Couple that with the open air market friendly neighborhood vibe and it's a hit!

    I haven't been a regular visitor to Macaron Bar, but I can tell the quality has noticeably declined…read morerecently. The only reason this is a 3-star review is because the shop itself remains impeccably clean and the staff members are incredibly sweet and welcoming. However, the macarons themselves are missing the mark technically. In my recent batch, the sizing was highly inconsistent, and several shells were completely flat with barely any filling inside. More importantly, the texture was off--instead of having that signature delicate, crunchy outer shell with a soft, chewy interior, they were entirely soft and gooey. For a specialty shop, precision is key, and I really hope the kitchen can get back to their usual high standards. As who love macaron, I know macaron is flat, inconsistent in size, and lacks filling, it usually points to rushed production or issues with macaronage (the critical folding process of the batter). A soft, gooey shell instead of a crisp, delicate crust means they either skipped the necessary drying phase before baking, underbaked them, or over-matured them in a humid environment. Maybe it was rush due to the "Buy One Get One Free", however I wouldn't buy it if I know the quality would be like this, almost like I pick them out from the frozen aisle in random grocery store...
