I'm a sucker for a sweet treat, so I was excited to grab a cup of gelato at Venchi. If you're not…read morefamiliar with this Italian brand, it has more than a century and a half of history! They started out as a gourmet chocolatier in 1878, and later expanded into artisanal gelato in 2007. The store is located on the first floor of Garden State Plaza near the food court. You can't miss it because the interior is absolutely STUNNING from top to bottom. It looks like a designer boutique, decorated with ice cream cones, walls of chocolate products, and floral wallpaper. Even the packaging is beautiful and feels high-end. Luxurious, darling~ I stopped by on a Friday night and was greeted warmly. From the colorful walls of chocolate bars to the stainless steel counter lined with a rainbow of gelato flavors, I didn't know where to look first! I made a beeline for the gelato. It's freshly made in small batches every day. They offer classic Italian flavors like tiramisu, pistachio, and hazelnut, along with fruity sorbets and more chocolate heavy options. The staff generously let me sample as many as I wanted to. Most are also gluten-free and vegan. You choose a cup or cone, pick your size, and even upgrade to a gourmet version if you want to add a chocolate spread + toppings. Prices are steeeeeeeeep, so I just chose a small cup of the Chocoviar Mango ($7.95)-- a mix of mango and milk chocolate with crunchy white chocolate pearls. Many ingredients are imported from Italy, and they pride themselves on using natural ingredients without artificial flavors or coloring. So naturally, the gelato was delicious! I loved the silky, dense texture. The mango was tangy and refreshing. My favorite part was the milk chocolate bar topping-it had that creamy, melt-in-your-mouth sweetness that cut through the tartness of the mango. Don't forget to browse their selection of gourmet chocolates, gift boxes, and hazelnut spreads. There's no doubt I'll be back to satisfy my sweet tooth! Yes, it's pricey, but that first spoonful made it feel worth it! I should've gotten another scoop. LOL.

They reminded me of inexpensive supermarket pastries, but at a much higher price. Russian-speaking customers expecting a more balanced taste may be disappointed. Irina, I sincerely wish you and your business success. Please preserve the uniqueness of your small bakery and listen with understanding to disappointed customers.

Of the chocolates I have tried, I haven't been super impressed but haven't had a whole lot either. The few chocolates I have purchased haven't tasted super fresh.

Since this is a local business, hoping that it can stay afloat... some people do some seem to enjoy their products!

POOR SERVICE - WAS highly recommended but NOT ANYMORE…read more It's been yrs since I last set foot to this place. I used to go here every week. I USED to highly recommend this place to my friends and family because of their danish. My co-workers and I luv their danish so much that I USED to drop by before work and bring it. I would wait for them to open around 0630 and buy a few danish. ONE DAY, I bought a dozen of Danish and the OWNER gave me attitude. He told me that I should've called the day before. He said now he has to make another batch for his other customers because I almost finished it all. His attitude was not right at all. Why would you tell your customer that? Instead of being happy that someone bought a whole bunch of your product so early... he was the opposite. The very thing I recommend in this place is their DANISH ONLY. Other products including customer service (OWNER) are dry and stale (esp cupcakes)

The meringue cookies are also a sweet cheat treat to enjoy as well. There is no bad dessert coming from this bakery. Service is great. A must try in the local area!

If they get even a little busy though with drink orders, you'll notice their slowness. For the food, we enjoyed a small mousse hazelnut cake ($7, delicate but small) and brownie ($5).

There's not a whole lot on the menu, and don't have a strong impulse to return any time soon! Additional fee for credit cards which I didn't see displayed. There are a few other locations including one in upper saddle river, and its high prices were a turnoff.
