Cute gelato stand with two outdoor seating areas. I went in 50ºF weather, so there wasn't a line. Hot take: I like eating ice cream in colder weather, because it won't melt while I'm eating it. There was a good selection of flavors. I settled on a kids banana oreo gelato cup as a little treat. It was very banana-y and velvety. Staff was friendly. They have lids available, so you can take your gelato to have for later. They have a cute Instagram backdrop adjacent to the shop, so you can get a cool picture outside. I'm hooked and would love to come back to try more of their flavors. read more

I went to strawberry fields for dessert after dining close by since I have heard great things from friends. I got 4 smalls with lids to take home and try out. The flavors I got were: Banana Pudding, Birthday Cake, Stracciatella, and Orange Chocolate Chip. All of them were amazing! The flavors weren't too overpowering which lets the custard base shine well and overall, all of the flavors shine in their own way! I only got to properly taste the consistency of one of the flavors, which was very smooth and velvety, however, even after being in my freezer for a few days, the other flavors still had a great consistency. Overall, I'd highly recommend stopping by read more

My absolute faveeee spot to get a cold treat. I have been going here for years and I always look forward to what amazing flavors they'll have the day I go. You can't ever go wrong with a staple Straciatella and even better mixing with other flavors to try multiple at once. read more

Wow, I was on the run but grabbed a French chocolate for the road and it was amazing! I'll be back next time I'm in town! read more

Strawberry Fields - Ice cream ice cream!! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

My girlfriend is a big fan of gelato so if she recommends this place, it must be good. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was quite delicious. $4.50 for a small cup which is pretty good price for gelato. We shared it between the two of us and we thought it was plenty. We got the classic strawberry one and their captain crunch flavor. My girlfriend liked the strawberry one more because it was fruity. I LOVED their captain crunch one. I thought it was perfect. It was a bit sweet but it was childhood in a cup. Perfect for a hot summer day. read more

Very interesting but amazing flavors! I had the banana beet and pineapple which were both refreshing and not too sweet. I love beets but wasn't sure if I would like it in an ice cream, but they made it work. I would definitely want to come back and try more of their surprising flavors next time! read more

I had to unfollow this place on Instagram because it was TOO DANGEROUS! I would scroll, see their yummy flavors of the day, and then go for a walk just to get their ice cream!!! Delicious and worth it, and perfect for a summer evening. Love that the flavors are always changing and keeping with the season! One of my all-time favorites was one called "banana beet" which I wish they would make again. read more

This place is ultra tiny with big flavor to boot. This place is awesome for any season. They have a very simple menu with just enough to satisfy just about any palate. The location is phenomenal in relation to all the other restaurants nearby and you would be doing yourself an injustice if you didn't top yourself off here. Overall, you can't go wrong with this place since they have such a good selection of items. Just typing this is making me crave the place all over again. I can't wait to go back!

Gelato is an Italian ice cream, although there are some similarities between gelato and ice cream. Gelato is made with milk instead of cream. It is churned less so it has less air, thus making it thicker. Lastly, gelato is stored at a warmer temperature, which makes it softer than ice cream. Strawberry Fields (SF) is located in the business district of Ghent on Colley Ave. Owners Curt and Heather Wynn opened their shop in 2012, and serves homemade gelato, freshly squeezed juices, and fresh fruit smoothies. Their shop is small so it's really not a place to eat inside. I love SF's gelato. Not only is it delicious, and they offer different flavors all the time, but gelato has half the fat and a third of the calories of ice cream. I know! Who would have thunk? If you're looking for an even healthier option, their juices and smoothies are full of fresh ingredients. They only use a touch of honey in their smoothies instead of other sweeteners. My favorite thing so far was the Irish Coffee--amazing! I also enjoyed the Peanut Butter Cup. I tried The Bugs, which is fresh carrot juice, mango, banana, ginger and mango sorbet. It was very refreshing and not too sweet. Go! Right now! Gelato is waiting for you... read more

Cute little place with plenty of outdoor seating. You are able to ask for a taste sample before ordering . We had berry lavender and strawberry kiwi--both were delish. Wish it was closer to ODU but maybe being further away is a good thing. read more

My husband and I came here on 4th of July after I searched Yelp for a local ice cream shop that was open late. I had the Wildberry Lavender sorbet and it was sooooo creamy! My husband had Monarch Tracks that was chocolate with nuts. We both had vanilla and you can never go wrong with vanilla. I sampled the ginger sorbet that they had and it was really good, I just wasn't in the mood for ginger but it was nice to see they have a lot of different flavors for everyone. read more

This is my go-to place for gelato. I moved from NYC months ago and I've truly missed going to Little Italy for fresh gelato. This place has become my comfort blanket for it, especially how fresh the ingredients are. I love how whenever there's a gelato flavor with any sort of cake, the cake always still somehow tastes fresh and moist lol. I find myself going there often now. read more

While traveling from Newport News to Norfolk to catch a movie at the Naro Cinema, my girlfriend and I decided to make a stop here, which is right across from Naro. It's a small ice cream shop which serves gelato ice cream (healthier than the traditional ice cream we eat) and smoothies. The décor is nice with some pictures on the walls, makes you feel right at home. Do keep in mind there's only one small table inside so if you plan on bringing a huge crowd, you're out of luck. Their flavors do vary week after week which is pretty cool. I decided to pick the maple bourbon gelato flavor over the brown butter pecan flavor (trust me, it was a tough choice). Really good and creamy. Not overly sweet. And the fact this was homemade is a huge plus. My girlfriend had a smoothie and thought it was really good (forgot which flavor she picked). And friends of ours who came thought their ice cream was excellent. The next time we're in the area, this will be a repeat. read more

I got an OG Açaí and subbed blueberries in for the banana (I hate banana), and got a cone with Samoa Gelato. Everything was so good!! The smoothie was only about 80¢ more than my usual tropical smoothie order, with the added bonus of supporting local business and being healthier for me, with no added sugar besides the honey they put in. The Samoa gelato tasted exactly like those Girl Scout cookies. Incredible- I'll be back and I'm happy to have a fun new place to go. read more

Fantastic gem of a gelato shop that I happened to stumble across on a Saturday trip to Ghent. The cashier was incredibly sweet and let me try a couple of flavors. First of all, props for the creativity. Pineapple chai, who would have imagined that flavor could exist? But the two I ordered and mixed together were the peach cobbler and the brown butter pecan. The latter blew my mind, the crunch of the pecan, mixed with the richness of the brown butter. If you think all butter pecan ice creams are the same, you need to try this one and you'll taste the difference. Less than five bucks for a small cup, and while the portion isn't enormous, it fills you up pretty fast. Definitely worth a trip back to try some new flavors. read more

Smooth, creamy, delicious, refreshing gelato for an ok price. We spotted this place a few weeks ago and wanted to try and in the neighborhood today, so we went. Hits the spot for a sweet treat. read more

Strawberry Fields - Peanut butter cup, sweet cream chocolate, French chocolate - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Finally got around to trying this place while I was in the area hanging out with friends. I love ice cream, the Beatles, and strawberries so of course I had this place bookmarked for a while. I tried the blueberry and cream ice cream. It was okay - honestly I only got it because it was pretty. They ran out of the cups with the logo so it didn't end up looking as cute in the photo. *sad face* One thing I will note is I think they need to wash their scoops better in between use. I got peanut butter in my ice cream, which wasn't a big deal to me. However it's still something to consider as cross contamination can be a big issue for those with allergies. If I come back I'll just order a different flavor (and more than one flavor for that matter.) Would give 3.5 stars. read more

I've taken every one of my out-of-town guests to Strawberry Fields...it's delicious, a super cute space, and so unique! The gelato is legit - authentic, homemade, and with so many creative flavors. I remember once I tried a Fruity Pebbles flavor...it tasted exactly like childhood. I love that they have expanded their seating area to a little nook next door - perfect for warm summer nights. Make sure to sign up for their rewards program too :) read more

Ice cream is very good. They also had a non dairy option which was great. It's not a huge selection but the ones that are there are worth it. They are still full COVID mode when I went where there was no going indoors so if that bothers you (or I suppose if it is raining) that exists. Another thing to note is parking can be a bit brutal so prep for that if you are driving. read more

Yummmm! So delicious! Walked here the other day to get some gelato and I was not disappointed! Had the seasonal carrot cake gelato and my BF had the lavender honey vanilla. His was very lavender forward, but good. Both so creamy, definitely hit the sweet tooth. A little pricey (I think $9 for 2 smalls) but so delicious, so I didn't mind. They are active on social media and post their daily flavors. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Yes! Absolutely yes! Do not think twice about checking them out! Their ice cream is amazing! Customer service spot on, even with them being busy they take the time to explain everything and let you try the ice cream. So fresh and so creamy! They also don't use any artificial flavoring or dyes unless it is has it in a mix-in, for example Oreos (artificial flavoring). Keep in mind though that the flavors ch age I believe daily, so if you are looking for a specific flavor toy might want to call to see what they have. We went 2 weeks in a row all the way from Newport News. It's a cute little shop, no seats inside but that's ok, there are a few little tables outside. read more

This little ice cream shop was amazing. Anytime I go to a different city I have to find a local ice cream shop. Will will say I am SUPER picky with my ice cream (very much so an ice connoisseur). But this place definitely passed my test read more

What a nice surprise! Stumbled on this place by accident but the delicious smell of all the fresh ingredients inside the establishment helped me make up my mind to order. The gelato is SO flavorful! My husband got the peanut butter cup gelato and it was seriously the best gelato/frozen yogurt I have ever had. It even had pieces of peanut butter cup in it! The gelato tastes like they really take their time with it and I really appreciate that. I got the pine island smoothie (pineapple, strawberry, banana & apple juice) and it was alright. It was fresh and fulfilling but it wasn't very sweet. I think this is because they only use fresh fruit and honey to make their smoothies, no extra sugar is added. Maybe next time I'll add a little gelato in the smoothie to sweeten it up! Overall I would definitely come back again and I think this place is a hidden gem. Update! On my second visit I got the Mad Mango Smoothie and it has more flavor than my first smoothie here! I really enjoyed it and like how the smoothies are homemade and don't taste processed or unnaturally sweet. My husband got the gelato and had a mix of Fruity Pebble (LOVE!) and their Stracciatella. He is in love with their fruity pebble flavor. read more

The best gelato place in town. Always fun trying new flavors. Ooey Gooey Cake is my personal favorite but can't go wrong at this place.

"It's getting hard to be someone but Strawberry Fields comes to Norfolk and it's all right". Strawberry Fields is the newest spot to churn up on Colley and being the overzealous independent fan that I am, I had to go get the scoop. It's a small location (previously Swirls) but unlike it's predecessor, I appreciate their use of the limited space. Specializing in fruit smoothies and homemade gelato, they hope to target a market that Skinny Dip's wrinkly fingers can't grasp. I can only speak on the gelato but with that said, I'm going to have a hard time deviating from it on future visits. Visually this stuff is beautiful and the banana pudding with full vanilla wafers in the mix was the first to catch my eye. Guy working the counter was quick to tell me he had made it 10 minutes ago! I was juiced. So far so good. He whips my treat up and flings around an iPad in a custom made wooden swivel case which serves as the register. Ok, so I get it, it's been done before, but when I was typing away at that thing, I felt like Steve Jobs was smiling down on me. I added a tip, signed my name and added my email addy all while using nothing but my distal phalanx. Strawberry fields forever.... read more

I had a pina colada smoothie and my boyfriend had the strawberry fields smoothie. Both smoothies were delicious!

After a big dinner across the street we decided to pop into Strawberry Fields for desert. This place is tiny, and I mean tiny, and you'll miss it if you don't know it's there or aren't looking for it. However small they are, don't be fooled, they have some huge treats inside. Being a first time customer I had assumed it was just another one of these cup cake places that has sprouted up in the area. I was so wrong. Strawberry Fields is a Gelato shop. What's that? Easy, Gelato is basically Italian Ice Cream. I looked at the chalk board and then at the Gelato in the case and decided on a cup with the chocolate / oreo mixture. Man it was good, it was so good... I found myself wishing I had gone with the pint instead... I know, I know... that pint never would have made it home, because I would have had to eat the poor thing before it melted... The horror of it all. Seriously this was some good Gelato indeed. My date ordered a smoothie called the Green Monster. It comes with Spinach, Kale, Fresh Squeezed Apple Juice, Banana, Greek Yogurt. Interesting mix and I'm sure it's good, but I'll stick with Chocolate. If you're in Ghent check them out. They're fantastic! read more

Did somebody say GELATO?! The only thing I don't like about this place is that it took me forever to finally try it!! We were in Norfolk for other reasons, but after having lunch, we needed dessert of course. I'd heard many great things about Strawberry Fields from friends, but just never got around to trying it. Main reason being location. We just aren't in Norfolk/Ghent area much. Anyway so we arrive and there was a sign that the place would open back up by 3:25pm. Right before 3:25 pm, the owner arrived. Yay! (There was another couple waiting outdoors with us.) The place is small and perfect - I love the string lights on the ceilings, the brick wall accent, and the chalk board menu. (They offer smoothies, fresh juices, and homemade gelato.) There is one small table with 2 chairs and a little bench. I imagine that the majority of customers just grab their goodies and go, especially in the summer. My boyfriend ordered a Pineapple Mango Ginger smoothie and he liked it a lot- he said it blended really well - way smoother than the blending at Tropical Smoothie, and that it wasn't too sweet either, which he liked. For me...*drumroll*...I ordered a small gelato with these flavors - Belgian Chocolate and Oreo. Can we say amazing!?! I'm not exaggerating either. Perfect flavor and consistency. Rich, dark chocolate flavor, and Oreo was well, Oreo. Combined it was just DELICIOUS. I wish I ordered the next size up. So far, I'm so very impressed with this place. I look forward to enjoying more flavors when I return! Just know that if I lived in Ghent, I would be here at least once a week. You should definitely check this place out! You won't be disappointed. read more

With greatest, utmost, mythically magical pleasure ... Ladies and gentleman, I give to you *drumroll* my LONG awaited review of Strawberry Fields. Let me start out by saying, I don't like frozen yogurt. I don't like ice cream. I absolutely despise chocolate. I'm a terrible excuse for a woman. I literally have no "time of the month" indulgences other than heaping mounds of cheddar cheese. Whatevz. Some women take solace in sweets and Nicholas Sparks movies-made-from-subpar-novels, I take solace in sharp cheddar. ALAS, I can work with Strawberry Fields. I love it. Strawberry Fields wins MAJOR brownie points with me just for simply being named Strawberry Fields. Every time I turn on the "Across the Universe" soundtrack in my car, it's almost second nature for me to desire a twenty mile hike to this place. Every time I hear "Straaaaawberry fields foevaaaaaa", I want to call out of work and drive here. Like I said, I don't like chocolate. It's, honestly, gross to me. Maybe it's the color? Maybe the richness? Maybe the cliche? Whatever it is, just keep that $#!+ away from me ... At a fifty foot radius (unless it's Count Chocula, then we're talking). Strawberry Fields has really excellent choices for members of the Chocolate Hating Commission of America --like myself. Especially when they have that peach flavored one. Awww, man, the peach flavored gelato makes me want to *shwiiiiing*! It's soooo freaking delicious that my eyes pop out of my head like Wild E. Coyote. DELICIOSO to the 9847239487 power! The smoothies here are very "eh" to me, although my brother goes ape $#!+ for that really popular green one that's (I think) the first one listed on their menu. But, honestly, it really wasn't my thing --and I'm quite the fan of veggie-based beverages. Oh, and they always seem to be closed when I want gelato the most. But, seriously, who cares?! The gelato is so friggin' amazeballs that I'm feining for it just typing this (with shaky, trembling hands). Okay, I just officially decided to bail on my plans tomorrow ... Strawberry Fields is more important. read more

Our first and only time at Strawberry Fields was a day we decided to be "healthy," so we got the Mango and Green Fruit smoothies. Unfortunately, the mango smoothie tasted like bananas with zero mango flavor, and there was nothing special about the green one. Honestly, I've made mango and green smoothies at home that have tasted better. Everything was fresh, however, which always gets a thumbs up in my book. If we go back, we'll forget about being "healthy" and get the gelato. read more

Strawberry Fields is delicious! This was my first time here and I was extremely impressed. The associate that was there (Alyson) was extremely helpful and let my friends and I try a lot of samples! The pumpkin cheesecake was my gelato fantasy! It was so good. Surprisingly, the sizes are well-priced and they have a lot of options. There's not a lot of places to sit, so it's more of a grab-n-go setup. There are a lot of options here so if you have a sweet tooth, be sure to strop by! read more
