You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and it's easy to see why Venchi has built such a strong reputation. Liliana was incredibly kind and helpful, offering plenty of samples so I could find the perfect combination. The gelato is clearly made with care, and the overall experience feels like a little slice of Italy. Definitely a spot worth savoring and coming back to.

I wanted some ice cream or gelato after dinner but before seeing a movie, and friend said this spot…read morealways had a line. I had actually been to a couple of Venchi locations in airports for chocolate, but hadn't realize they served gelato and had never had theirs. It was a very strange experience, though. We walk up to the ice cream counter to look at the flavors and they say we have to stand behind the register. We inquire as to whether we can taste flavors and they say yes, but only after you've purchased your ice cream. The issue with that is how do I know if I want one or two flavors until after I've tasted the gelato? I assume kids were coming in and tasting a bunch without buying anything, but then ask for a deposit or something. It doesn't make any sense to not be able to look at or taste the flavors before you have to order. I only tasted two flavors because they were making me so uncomfortable, and selected the second one I tasted--a dark chocolate flavor that wasn't honestly pretty darn excellent. So 5 stars for the actual taste (and their chocolates) and minus a star for the service.

Why had we never stopped in sooner?!  We often passed the building that houses Terra's and…read morecommented that we should give it a try.  Finally we did and what a great place!  The space is light and filled with soft colors. You can see their messaging of seeking the best local ingredients and making sure their delicious offerings can be enjoyed by those who have dietary issues, such as an aversion to gluten.  Everything about Terra's is welcoming and happy.  On this afternoon, we tried the signature hot cocoa with a nice spicy note and the mocha which had a great coffee flavor.  We were able to sample the sprinkle covered waffle chips - yum!  And the cinnamon ice cream - another yum!  I hope more people stop by to enjoy Terra's.  It is definitely worth turning in to the lot for a drink, a waffle cone or any other of their sweet and savory treats.  I know we will be back soon!

If I'm ever in the area again, I would make another visit to try other items on their menu.

I, of course, sampled almost all of the flavors, and I was torn between what to choose. The portion sizes were humungous, and everything was delicious! The store was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. Upon entry, they greeted me with a smile and were eager to assist. The location is perfect. There is ample parking around the shopping center and also a great location to walk around and eat your ice cream while exploring the area. To my surprise, there is a shop located in my hometown, which, as you can imagine, will be problematic. (LOL) If you're near a Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, stop by; you'll be glad you did!

Ordering is a little precious, you pay first but without specifying what gelato flavor(s) you want. Then you wait for somebody to call your name and then a staffer will fill your order. If you've never been here, it's not clear where you stand to get service. But head over to the cash register. I didn't see the kiosk other Yeeps have mentioned in their reviews. I got a small cup with one scoop of orange gelato and one of pistachio. The orange was the better flavor of the two. A wide range of flavors are available. The cups are a bit deceptive. Take a look at the bottom of the cup and you will see that it is recessed pretty deeply in the cup, meaning you aren't getting as big of serving as you would think with a cup that size.

Today it was Butter Brickle and Black Forest. The former is gorgeously smooth, buttery, with just the right amount of toffee. Not a hint of artificial in it. And Black Forest, i'll happily choose that over a cream laden black forest cake. Partner tried vanilla today, rates it above ice cream chain and grocery store vanillas. Again, all about the milk, recipes, small batch, and consistency. Student at the cash register was helpful and quick, ambiance with the miniature figurines is always a draw.

Horrible, indecent, disgusting behaviors…read more The service was horrible, the 'manager' said she was legally allowed to refuse me a refund over 'attitude', we never received our full order, she bluntly admitted to burning our food, and forgetting to remake it, after finally remaking it, they topped it with all the wrong items. The only good thing about the ambiance is the fact there's an exit a couple feet away so you can leave. They called the police on my partner and I after requesting a refund, she word for word stated 'I already said sorry what else do you want from me' and called the police on us for being 'aggressive' the owners, if it isn't her, should be ashamed of the people they're hiring, not only were they racist as hell, but they clearly don't know anything they're doing. The 'manager' is the big chinned girl at the register, and the other person is the employee. I felt so bad for her as you could tell she really wanted to do the right thing, and avoid how messy this got.

It's inside Tysons Corner Center on the second floor, so parking is just the usual mall parking. Easiest if you park 2nd floor food court parking then go up to 3rd floor garage and walk over the sky bridge. They always have fresh baked goods so it always smells so yummy when you walk in. There's seating if you want to hang out for a bit instead of just grabbing something and leaving. The staff is super helpful and welcoming, whether you're popping in for a quick snack or ordering a cake. I've ordered cakes from them for birthdays, graduations, and other celebrations, and they've always turned out great. I really like that their cakes are not too sweet (better for the Asian palette). Prices are fair too, which makes it even better. Their brown sugar boba latte is also sleeper good. Definitely recommend them whether you're at the mall or needing a cake.
