Our server, Kervin, was absolutely wonderful. He was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. His calm demeanor and genuine smile really stood out and made our visit even more enjoyable. The rooftop ambiance was perfect. It wasn't overly noisy, so we could actually relax and have a conversation. I also appreciated how thoughtful the staff was with the shades--they kept them down while the sun was out to keep everyone comfortable, and once the sun went down, they raised them so everyone could enjoy the beautiful view. The drinks were good, although I think they could've been a little stronger. The pizza, on the other hand, was delicious and definitely something I'd order again. If you're planning to sit on the rooftop, keep in mind that it's first come, first served, so get there early if you want a good spot. Overall, I had a fantastic time and will definitely be back. Highly recommend checking out the rooftop if you haven't already!

BUT Mel makes absolutely killer, world renowned gelato that it's flipped my whole perspective on gelato. She and her team are so good about allergens and cross-contamination- there's always multiple gluten-free and vegan options that make no sacrifices in taste or texture. My go-to is some sort of fruit flavor (limoncello/mojito/forest berry) + dark chocolate and it always slaps. Last- I have mad respect to business owners who continue to work in their shop day in and day out. It's pretty common for ice cream shops to be staffed by high school kids which is fine, no shade, everyone needs a day off, but Mel being there scooping really ensures the quality of the gelato and cleanliness of the shop stay at the highest level. no doubt!

Went there on a beautiful day, a perfect day for ice cream. Going in here is a huge hike for us being that we live 40 miles away. It's always a highlight to go, and we always order large cups when we go. Keep in mind this place is not a bargain, you generally get what you pay for and this place has always been worth it except for this trip. And with all my excitement, I neglected to see how much gelato was left for one of the flavors I ordered, and it was the bottom of the barrel-instead of the young gentleman talking me out of the flavor, he gingerly scraped up with all his might whatever was left in the bottom, then proceeded to ask me if I wanted a flavor that was similar to it... Shame on me I said no, and he proceeded to give me the other flavor I had asked for which is a chocolate brownie. As he scooped, I said you know what give me some of the cappuccino please-he huffed and puffed and arrogantly told me he could no longer do it... Why? You've only done a couple scoops of chocolate what's the big deal. Asking him a question it was like I was asking him a life ending favor. He then huffed as he took my husband's order. As we both ate our ice creams we were very mystified that it was lacking the flavors that it once had. True, we both had tried new flavors that we never had before, but it didn't have the same texture and it was overly sweet. Secondly, my husband got their waffle cone. Now let's talk about how the boy neglectfully scooped that waffle cone... He didn't put any ice cream in the cone only slapped a ball on top - that was it. The ice creams came out to $16 and honestly the waffle cone was flavorless! My husband wound up throwing it away as it probably was one of the worst waffle clones he's ever had. Maybe we need a break but we definitely need a break from that young gentleman who took our order... He needs a little polish refresher course on how to be a little more cordial and Little accommodating. Thank God for the tip cup!
