Raymond M.

Dubai chocolate was delectable; the combination of strawberries, chocolate and crushed peanuts were on point. I also tried the lotus and pistachio gelato, but the lotus is my favorite out of the two. This location is located inside the mall, right next to Living Spaces and UFC Fit. Limited indoor seating. Good customer service.

Gelato

This shop is located in Oakridge mall, and they have many interesting flavors. I tasted the pistachio, which when really good, is my favorite flavor; theirs was just okay. I had the Ferraro rocher and strawberries & cream. Of the two, the strawberries & cream was sweeter and the flavors stronger; I much preferred it over the Ferraro rocher, which surprised me. My husband had an flavor that combined almonds, caramel, and something else I cannot remember, but it is light brown/beige in color. He liked it, but I thought it had a strange aftertaste. I like his second flavor much more, a pomegranite & I think ricotta combo. So, it seems in future, I ought to stick with the flavors that include fruit.

The portions are so worth it! The staff was very friendly and patient as I was sampling and raking forever to order. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw how much she put in the cup and realized we could have shared a medium cup. The flavors are not too strong but decent imo. It's a nice treat if you're tired from walking in the mall!

My friend and I were really indecisive on what flavors to get so we asked for a lot of samples and the employee was super nice helping us figure out what we wanted and explaining the flavors to us. We ended up getting like four flavors and it was pretty yummy. This is a personal thing but I think I got too much gelato because by the time I got to my second flavor, the creaminess was getting a bit much for me. Next time, I'd just get one flavor or maybe take it home and eat it later ahahah.

Super underrated spot inside of Oakridge Shopping Center. It's not too busy and the workers are pretty quick about making your order. The dubai chocolate was fantastic - it's "not too sweet" and is crunchy too! Overall good taste and texture. There's a few tables and chairs in the mall next to the shop to eat your ice cream.

Black dark chocolate

La Dolce Gelado is always a treat. Conveniently located in Oakridge Mall, it is a favorite stop for me and my mom. I've tried a few flavors but dark black chocolate is hands down my favorite. The service here tends to be a little on the slow side but I promise it is worth it. The storefront is bright and inviting. With white and green accents. We will continue to stop by whenever we are at the mall.

Love seeing a nice gelato place with great service! Staff was super friendly and walked me through my annoying questions about all of their flavors. Their chocolate based gelato are amazing, and their crepe has a great blend of texture and flavor. They had a new drink today - Mango Lemonade Energy, and it paired really well with their sweet treats!

At a prominently located Gelato shop in the mall, the display of various ice cream flavors looked incredibly tempting. I randomly chose the Panna Cotta with Blackberry flavor. The ice cream had a delicate and smooth texture, mixed with blackberry jam. The rich creamy aroma of the ice cream, combined with the sweet and tangy flavor of the blackberry jam, made the taste even more delightful. I'll definitely come back next time to try other flavors.

Banana strawberry with nuttela crepe, top with chocolate ice cream

We were craving for some sweet crepes and so excited to find out this place in South SJ. It's inside Oakridge mall, across from Daiso. Servers were super nice and willing to let us taste whatever flavor we asked for. We got the banana and strawberry crepe with one scoop of chocolate ice cream. It came out $13 per crepe with tax and tip, which is not bad with the high SJ minimum wage (you know what I mean). I personally like my crepe batter to be lighter and crunchier. Their batter is kinda cakey which make it harder to be crunchy. On a side note, it would be great if you can find a table further from the children playground if you don't want to eat with children screaming as your BGM.

Came for a walk at Oakridge mall and finally decided to give this place a try. The taste was delicious and soft! I cannot wait to come back again for a sweet tooth !

Small Gelato (Mint Chocolate and Strawberry)
Anh L.

La Dolce Vita is a small, cute ice cream shop sitting at one end of the mall. It's not in the food court which is interesting considering the placement for food and beverages. The servers were really nice to offer tastings on the spot. I think there is a maximum of 9 flavors you can try out. I tasted the lemon mint and it wasn't my favorite, so I chose something else. They have a wide selection of flavors you can choose and I felt that picking a small size (2 flavors) was good enough. The portion the team provides for the small selection was quite generous. The flavors I selected were mint chocolate chip and strawberry, both in which were delicious and refreshing. I think for a hot summer day, I would like to try the sour flavors next time.

Mint over guava and tiramisu over panna cotta. The flavors were all very good, but the mint was "meh".
James Y.

Stunning. The gelato here is simply stunning. Okay, okay... I'm not a gelato connoisseur, but dang, the gelato here was tasty! From the fruity guava to the panna cotta to their mascarpone to their tiramisu... the flavors really popped and were memorable. I think their other flavors are probably all pretty stand out as there is some creativity and depth of flavors with their choices. Although I would skip on the mint flavored gelato, I'd definitely want to try the others. It's inside the mall across the way from Andersen Bakery. But can't really say much else other than... it's in a mall. Service was nice. Helpful, nice, and was polite in providing our gelato on a cone. It is a bit pricey. A small (2 flavors either in a cup or a cone) will set you back $7. Furthermore, each scoop is rather meager. Not an American sized scoop, bur that's a good thing for your belly ;).

Scoop of the Ferrero rocher & lotus biscoff flavor
Maggie W.

Love that Oakridge is upping its game and adding more stores, this dessert place is definitely a great addition! They offer samples and have so many specialty flavors. They do have the classic vanilla, mango, matcha, and pistachio type flavors, but also have Reese's, mascarpone with pomegranate, and more. My friend and I split two scoops of Ferrero Rocher and Lotus biscoff ice cream. So deliciously creamy, I'd love to try their crepes next time along with a scoop of their gelato. Service is friendly, and there's plenty of seating nearby that this store shares with a number of other bakeries and milk tea joints in the area.

We tried a couple of options and they were all yummy! The line moves pretty slowly. When I visited, there was only one person handling both orders and payments, which created a bit of a bottleneck. It's definitely not cheap, so expect to pay a premium for the mall location and the quality. Overall, it's a great place for a high-quality treat if you aren't in a huge rush!

I could tell she was doing her best to keep the line moving along but felt kind of bad that she didn't have any support. Thankfully, by the time we finally got to the front, another person came out from the back to help scoop, and a third to handle checkout. I planned on getting a medium with two scoops and knew I wanted passionfruit but was torn between lemon and coconut, so I asked to sample both. The lemon was good, but I preferred the creaminess of the coconut, so I went with that. The coconut was yummy, but the passionfruit was amazing. That alone is worth a 5-star review. My mom got the Bombolato with Croccantino Amarena (sweet milk with sour cherries and chocolate chips) and Capriccio (hazelnut with chocolate spread) topped with chocolate and chopped hazelnuts. She loved it! She pretty much ate the whole thing, except for half the donut. My only gripe is that I wish they had at least one vegan pastry in the cake section. The seating options are also really limited in the gelato area but luckily we walked to the back and found one open table.

Although my go-to is the honey matcha latte, you can honestly just throw a dart and be pleasantly surprised each time (I've done this about 5 times already). This time, I got the yuzu matcha tea. SUPER REFRESHING! Tart, citrusy and with the earthy matcha, the drink was a great pick me up. I recommend getting this if you can't have whole milk and wanna try something new! My partner got the soft serve and the flavor of the matcha cuts through very well- you won't be disappointed if you're a matcha lover. The line is long, but our orders always come out fairly quickly (around 10 minutes) after we order. I think it's long because others are debating what to pick at the kiosk.

We got 2 of the creme brulee matcha swirl due to the hype of this drink. The cream was extremely thick and just for my preference, it was too much. The matcha was not as strong to balance the sweetness and decadency of the cream. We ended up letting it melt a bit so we can drink the matcha without having to eat chunks of the cream. If you like your matcha thick, then I recommend this drink! It was just not up my alley unfortunately.

I've been to other "Rita's Italian Ice" locations before, but this location has a cool neighborhood feel. It's located in a small plaza at Pruneridge Ave & Winchester Blvd. Lots of off street parking. Their menu offers Italian Ice, Gelato, Frozen Custard, Sundaes, and a variety of drinks. Lots of different flavors to choose from. Two young ladies were behind the counter, and they helped me decide what to get. I ordered a large Frozen Custard with two scoops of strawberry and banana. Hand scooped, in a cup. Price: $7.49. So two scoops of Rita's Frozen Custard costs about the same as two scoops of ice cream at a Baskin Robbins. But it's a different experience. My frozen custard had a thick, rich and dense texture. It wasn't super sweet. The flavor was smooth and delightful. No after taste, and it's not icy. Frozen dessert, of any kind, it a comfort food. It makes you feel good. I really enjoyed my frozen custard. It was a nice snack before the drive home. I will return if I'm in the area again.

If I had to pick between the milk tea ice cream from Dr.ink and this, I'll pick this hands-down! It tastes so much more like milk tea to me, who is a "50% sweet, 50% ice" kinda gal.

The tea flavors really come through the ice cream. The black tea flavor is subtle though, but I like it. So we ordered a pint of matcha oreo and a pint of black tea on their website on Monday, and just picked them up today! Loafy Shark looks to be a brand new startup. There's not a "store front" yet. The owner said she's testing out new flavors and we can find her pop up locations on Instagram.
