We got a 6 cookie variety pack which had one of each flavor they offer: oatmeal raisin, Reese's, double chocolate chip walnut, chocolate chip walnut, Oreo, and s'mores. I don't like chocolate, so the only one I had was oatmeal raisin. I loved it. They're huge thick cookies. The inside is nice and soft/gooey which I loved. My husband's favorite was the oreo one. We've been eating a lot of new cookies recently and this is definitely a good addition to Charlotte's cookie scene.

I always say I wish they were closer, but I probably would be in weekly if they were. Nice spot in Plaza Midwood so I don't mind coming here. Great Italian bakery.

I came here based on my family member's recommendation - she raved about the candied apples so I purchased one, it was a Butterfinger apple, which was delicious. I was hesitant to indulge because I thought it would be too sweet but the pairing of the Granny Smith apple with the butterfinger flavor was well balanced... overall I had a good experience. Service was good too and what I loved most is that they will cut the apples for you if you ask.

The lone employee appeared irritated that someone would want ice cream on a warm fall evening. When I asked for a single scoop of butter pecan her mumbled, marginally audible response was, "small, medium, or large." Since I couldn't get the question, I answered "Oh, sugar cone is fine." She did mumble a bit more audibly the second time, "small, medium, or large." I used my own best judgment. I figured a single scoop was a "medium." I did confirm with my wife and two daughters that a single scoop of ice cream is still a manageable request in an ice cream shop. So if you want decent ice cream in a nice environment - this is your place. If you want competent service, it will be catch as catch can.

At first the dasher said they were closed and couldn't fulfill our order but it turns out that the owners stayed open late for us for a coworkers last day and it was a really pleasant surprise that they were still able to deliver for us. We will definitely order from them again as the cookies were absolutely delicious!!!

The place was packed, the drive thru line was wrapped around the building and the customers were growing impatient waiting for their orders. We got in line and waited to place our order wondering if we made a mistake. It wasn't a very long wait until we were ablet to place our orders and even though Andy's was as busy as it was, the gentleman that took our order was really nice and patient. Long story but in the end that same gentleman singlehandedly finished taking orders, jumped into the back and caught all of the walk up orders up by hustling back and forth. There were three people working the drive thru and he, alone, was taking orders and filling them. I wish I had his name to give him the proper props. There was a long wait but given the hustle of this one employee I was okay with the wait. I ordered the triple chocolate concrete. They were out of cookie dough so I substituted for brownie. Overall it was a good choice for chocolate lovers. The ice cream is very smooth and their is not shortage of cookie dough or chocolate chips. Overall, a great place for a twist on ice cream. Great location and I will say this could have been a horrible experience had it not been for that one employee.

I came here again with my mom, my wife, and a friend, and we had a another fantastic experience from start to finish. We decided to try several different gelato flavors, and honestly, they were all delicious! Each flavor we sampled was enjoyable, and it was great being able to explore different options and share our favorites with one another. Beyond the gelato itself, the atmosphere really made the experience special. The vibe was welcoming, relaxed, and inviting, making it a great place to spend quality time with family and friends. I especially appreciated the family-friendly environment and the diverse, inclusive feel of the place. It's the kind of spot where people from different backgrounds can come together, enjoy a sweet treat, and feel comfortable. Sometimes, it's the combination of great food and a great atmosphere that makes a place stand out, and Artisen Gelatto absolutely delivers on both. Whether you're looking for a fun family outing, a casual stop with friends, or simply a delicious dessert to brighten your day, this is a place I would happily recommend. Overall, we had an excellent experience, loved the gelato, and really enjoyed the atmosphere. I would absolutely come back to try more flavors! Still,100% recommended! If you're in Matthews, NC, and craving some delicious gelato, give Artisen Gelatto a try. You won't regret it!
