So sad we didn't find this stand sooner! We will be returning every weekend now. Homemade gelato run by the sweetest couple. The gelato is incredible and tastes so fresh. Their flavors are fantastic. Black sesame is my favorite. They also have bubble tea and waffles, as well as dairy free ice cream. We will be back again and again! read more

Lulu is one of my favorite spots to get gelato I really enjoy the pistachio and the mango and they reward you for stopping by. I think with six purchases you get one free and that's easy to come by once you stop there you'll stop again and again and again I'm glad they're back open because they was closed for the winter Stop by. It's a place that you would enjoy and they are very friendly and very helpful with anything that you want to purchase from them. read more

Cute food truck at the Asian Festival in Gainesville. Service was excellent and the drinks were refreshing. Reasonably priced, I ordered the Sprite float with lactose free key lime sherbet and popping boba. Amazing! Highly recommend! read more

If you're craving some sweet and light, make the drive to Lulu's Gelato! My mom and I had been having a craving for some sorbet and gelato and had heard amazing things about Lulu's. Since we live in Archer, the drive to the Jonesville/Newberry area was not far. Once you pull into the location, you will see it's a small cart in between to a plant nursery and a meat market but inside the cart you will see two of the most lovely and friendliest owners. Since I had been scrolling through the reviews, I knew that the Lulu's mango was a popular option and decided to indulge and do a scoop of that and a scoop of lemon blueberry sorbetto. My mom picked the passion fruit sorbetto and picked up the pistachio gelato for my dad. I opted for the lychee cherry topping for my treat. Let me tell you, the reviews were right, this option was everything and then some. The gelato is very creamy, and not too sweet at all. It transports your taste buds to a mango island and you can tell it's not artificially made. The lemon blueberry was tart but delicious and a great component to the Lulu mango. These treats are hand crafted and made with love and there's a great variety of flavors and toppings. My parents enjoyed their gelato and sorbetto as well to the point where my dad wants to go every weekend now. The prices are very reasonable and they offer a variety of treats like boba floats, banana boats (banana sundae), and bubble waffles. Please go support this local business, you will not regret it! read more

Small little Gelato, Italian Ice spot tucked away on the way to Newberry situated right next a small tropical plant spot. Been wanting to stop here for some time.lots of flavors. They also do Boba Teas and Biegnet's too!!! But only tried the Gelato this visit. Decent sized cup for 5 dollars. We didn't put any toppings on . Friendly folks run the spot. They have small tables outside you can sit at. read more

I tried Lulu's Gelato when they were a vendor at the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens spring festival last year, and I LOVED IT. I have only gone back a handful of times since trying their gelato initially since the hours are relatively sparse (which is understandable considering this is a small business). It's always worth the trip over to Newberry. Amazing flavors, toppings, and quality all around!! I highly recommend and am looking forward to being in Gainesville this Summer so that I can make numerous trips here. read more

Truly a hidden gem!! My friend and I discovered Lulu's as they were a vendor outside of Tropical Roots plant nursery. The owners are super sweet, humble, and lovely to talk to. They really make their gelato with so much love and care. They were very generous with their samples, my friend and I loved the taro, mango, and sesame flavors. Super creamy and great flavors that remind me of home. Will definitely be visiting them a lot in the near future. read more

I absolutely love Lulu's. We have been so many times. You get a free cup after 5 visits! I had even made an instagram post about them a while back saying the following: "We've found lots of hidden gems here in Gainesville, but one I especially love is Lulu's Gelato!! @lulusgelato is AMAZING hand-crafted Gelato that will melt in your mouth. I am so glad we stubbled across this little gelato stand one day. It's family run and the gelato is handmade it's only $7 a pint when at the mall it's $14. They didn't pay me to say this, I just wanted to share this with y'all. I am BLOWN AWAY by the hazelnut chocolate gelato and the butterfinger so good. Next weekend is the last time they'll be selling gelato until next year, so we're going to STOCK UP! You have to preorder for next week ! You won't regret it #supportsmallbusiness " Now I wanted to say: one other thing I love about them is that they donate their tips to great causes. These people are so sweet and have great hearts. I am looking forward this weekend to going and tasting their amazing gelato and donating to Ukraine . read more

Lulu's gelato is a sweet, family run business that parks their truck next to Affordable Vet in Jonesville and sometimes the downtown farmers market. They are incredibly nice with a great product. They have many flavors including some non-dairy and sorbet options. Their star is the Lulu Mango. Any form of dessert that comes with sweetened condensed milk on it can't be beat. The mango chunks on top were extremely ripe and sweet. I have also had their avocado, sea salt caramel, and pineapple mango sorbet. Those were all very good as well. Their prices are very reasonable. A single scoop "kids cup" is only $3 and a standard size two scoop cup is $4. This is a little cheaper than other gelato places I have tried. They also offer a rewards punch card- one free gelato after purchasing five. If I'm being picky, I would like to add that I personally wouldn't consider them actually gelato. Their recipe may be that of a gelato rather than an ice cream, but something in the texture and density doesn't reflect that. Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic place. But if you are looking for something that not only tastes great but feels like gelato, you probably won't want to make the trip to Lulu's. Overall Lulu's is a little gem. If you happen to be close by, they are a fantastic treat. They conveniently park next to the Arepas Milko food truck so you can grab both dinner and your dessert in one stop. I will happily continue to purchase their gelato whenever we are nearby. read more

Quite a drive from where I live but worth it. I've heard great things about this tiny little gelato and sorbet place. I asked about a flavor I think it's was called mermaid something and was quickly offered a taste test . I wanted a more tangy and sweet balance so I got piña colada and lulu mango. Also got sorbet on the side . Very rich flavors and so creamy and smooth that I have found myself coming back again and again. read more

We love this little gelato stand. My daughter likes to go Fridays after school. ( Hours Fri, Sat, Sun 2-6). The flavor choices are great. I usually get this cold brew coffee with a scoop of vanilla w/whipped cream and chocolate shavings. My daughter has tried a couple different things and her favorite right now is Strawberry. Ps you can sample flavors. The atmosphere is so nice and welcoming. Large area to sit and enjoy the yummy treat. Plants everywhere. Also I just realized you can rent out the covered area for small parties. Prices include tax and they have treats for dogs that visit the stand. I have only encountered 1 person as far as staff and customer service goes and I just love her. So sweet. read more

The team here has always been so wonderful and engaging. I'll be leaving Gainesville soon but I'm glad I got to make a few good memories over Lulu's gelato. (: read more

Lulu's is so adorable. It looks straight out of a Target magazine! And their prices and flavors are absolutely wonderful! They have so many flavors and also sell Italian ice! For a kids size at $3 and a regular for $4, these are definitely cheaper compared to the other competition! And they also include a complimentary topping! My favorite is the mango gelato which comes with mango chunks and a "special sauce" that is absolutely delightful for a Gainesville summer day! It also comes with a waffle cookie too! I love Lulu's and will definitely come back to try other flavors! read more

The couple that rubs this stand is A+ in customer service and close to best gelato I've had in the states! Well done you got a regular customer with our family! read more

I love Lulu's. This sweet gram and gramps couple are so adorable and they make killer gelato. Right now during COVID, they only open 2-6p Friday Saturday Sunday but please please go and try them & support this local business. Lulu is named after their granddaughter and if you follow them on social media you'll see sweet photos of her and other families enjoying their decadent treats. I love that they are local, making an exceptional product, and they make each bowl special! There are lots of options for toppings too but usually they give it to you with their own spin on what goes on that flavor. We have had pina colada, Lulu Mango, strawberry, watermelon, butterfinger, & vanilla. They will let you taste any flavor to sample too! I highly recommend going and bring the family! They also now do boba and ice cream floats! read more

For the price, the portion and quality of the gelato is too generous. The owner is very good humored kind and let's you sample whatever you want. Gelato comes with unique complimenting toppings that make the visuals instaworthy as well. We got the papaya and mango flavor and it was both creamy and refreshing. The cherry on top was the mood and atmosphere of the place. It's an overall great experience to come with friends, a date, and/or family to stay for a while. Only wish I knew about it sooner:) read more

Great place to get tasty sweet cold treats Prices are Great and deserts are very good

This was my first time eating at Lulu's and maybe it's because it was so hot outside but I got to say this gelato hit the spot. I went basic and ate a cup of their chocolate gelato and my daughter had the passion fruit sorbetto. Both were packed full of flavors! The gelato was rich and creamy and really held up in the heat at this food truck festival. The sorbetto is their combination of a sorbet and gelato and it delivered . It was lighter than their traditional gelato but just as delicious. I was so taken by their ice cream that I ate it all before I could remember to take a picture. But I will definitely be going back so I will add a picture to this soon. read more

Lulu's Gelato is a quaint little family business that serves up some cool refreshing sunshine in a bowl! They are located on Newberry Road in Alachua adjacent to a small persimmon farm reminiscent of times gone past when you where making that day trip on a hot Florida summer day needing something cool to refresh your parched soul. Great family business and great family running after a little piece of the American small business dream! Highly recommend the Blueberry Mohito! If I could give it 6 Stars, I would! read more

Best gelato in Gainesville! Although I have not been to the OG spot, I always try hard to snag some gelato at the Wednesday Bo Diddly farmers market!
