Swedish fish,  Sea Salt Turtles. Gummies
Patricia G.

Stopped in on a whim. Like 5 minutes before it closed.. (I'm sorry) They were very nice and helpful. Bought Some chocolate. Oh my goodness! This is some very tasty chocolates. Sea Salt Turtles. Yes please Chocolate covered Swedish fish... uhm more please. (Like who knew that was a thing?) Cute little place. Don't be like me, go earlier. But if you do wait, buy lots!! I will be back. Absolutely go here and get your chocolates!!!

I stopped in to try out this gelato shop for the first time. The service was very good and friendly. The restaurant and bathrooms were extremely clean! We got a toddler size vanilla gelato with sprinkles, a strawberry gelato with pastel M&Ms, and pistachio gelato with toffee bits. I tried a bite of each one and they were all very flavorful and we would definitely come back.

Salted caramel

Walked in and the smell of chocolates and gelato ice cream filled the air!! Was greeted by the employee with a big smile. I tried the salted caramel and fell in love!! My husband and I had the big cups. We also purchased some Carmel chocolate balls and peanut brittle. I'm making this my favorite gelato ice cream shop! If you are ever down town Overland Park...I suggest you check out this business!

Found this place randomly as we were looking for a dessert place after lunch. The store is pretty spacious with a good amount of seating indoor and some outdoor (part of Strang Hall). There is a bunch of prepackaged candy & chocolate, gourmet chocolate in a glass case, and gelato of course. Got to sample a few flavors, and all of them were delicious! I was in more of a fruity mood, so I chose the strawberry and grapefruit prosecco. The strawberry was fresh & creamy, and the grapefruit prosecco, which was more of a sorbet, was super refreshing, slightly tart, & also sweet. Would get these again! Other notable flavors would be the pistachio and birthday cake. Probably the best pistachio gelato I've had in a long time - I could actually taste the pistachio flavor, and the bits and pieces of pistachio were a nice crunch! The birthday cake had actual cake pieces in it which I loved. Also, service was fast and great. Excited to come back and try the other flavors!

This was one of the ice cream/ gelato places in KC that I've been curious to try. I'd say it was sold based on several things,... - the girl behind the counter was very sweet and willing to be patient while I figured out what to order and tried the flavors. - If you don't want gelato then you can get other sweets such as chocolates - The gelato was smooth and yummy - location was great in old Overland Park I'm glad I tried but I'll probably won't be a repeat customer based on these things - 10 to 12 flavor options that seem to be permanent flavors without variations - The flavors were yummy but didn't stand out - Small selection of toppings to make the experience better - you could next door to competing establishments with the same or more options

If you love gelato, this spot is a must-visit! Endless flavors, plenty of toppings, and rich, melt in your mouth chocolate The decor is charming hanging ice cream cone displays from the ceiling and colorful wall art make it a fun place to enjoy your treat They even sell cute souvenirs so you can take a piece of the experience home. Friendly vibes, great quality, and perfect for a sweet craving! لو تحبون الجيلاتو، هذا المكان لازم تجربونه! نكهات ما تنتهي، توبينغز لذيذة، وشوكولاتة تذوب في الفم ديكور المكان مميز مع مجسمات الآيس كريم المعلّقة بالسقف ورسومات الجدران المليانة ألوان وفيه تذكارات حلوة ترجعك لأجواء المكان كل ما تشوفها أجواء لطيفة، جودة عالية، ومكان مثالي لإرضاء رغبتك في الحلو

I love this shop. They have only been open for a year. Right next to Strang Hall in downtown Overland Park. It's bright and cheerful. Seating area was clean and inviting. We came here after dinner for a little treat and saw that they had gelato. Upon entering the shop, we saw that they were stocked with special treats for Easter. The little Easter chocolate bunny was adorable. They have everything from little chocolate treats to bags of chocolate covered candies to Gelatos. My friend bought a bag of chocolate covered candies and we both ordered their medium size gelato to enjoy. The staff was very friendly. They also have seating outside when weather is nicer. Definitely will be back for more treats this summer.

I loved the creamy, flavorful, made fresh daily gelato, the welcoming, friendly, helpful service and the great location (next to Strang Hall in downtown OP) at this new shop, which offers The Flying Cow gelato and Annedore's Fine Chocolates. Compared to ice cream, Italian gelato has less fat, less mixed in air and more flavor - nice! My medium gelato cup ($5.75) included two generous scoops of delicious gelato, which were packed full of flavor. Fifteen flavors were available including some unique flavors like birthday cake, key lime pie, dino & dirt, pistachio and gianduja (chocolate and hazelnut). The dining area was clean, nice and colorful with background music. I also noticed a large, spacious patio area shared with nearby Strang Hall, street parking and a nearby parking garage. Excellent!

A summertime staple. You owe yourself a treat by getting out here and enjoy a dusky evening on the patio with gelato in-hand. I reviewed the first location of Flying Cow years back and loved it. The quality hasn't gone down at all, and I'm still in love with their grapefruit prosecco flavor. It's light, fruity, citrusy, and delicious without being have a crusty or icy texture the way sorbet has. If you aren't a fan of fruit flavors, I'd also recommend the salted caramel, which is flavorful without being too sweet or too heavy. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the mixed berry, which tastes like the berry smoothie from Costco but for double the price, or the coffee, which was weaker than I was hoping for (the coffee ice cream at Betty Rae's is absolutely perfect if you're looking for that). This Overland Park location is in north OP right next to Strang Hall and a variety of other restaurants, so it's an easy walk over from lunch or dinner. There's lots of seating both indoor and outdoor, the location is very cute, and the staff gives generous samples. Go get that gelato!

I also noticed that they have multiple gluten free options (do note that there might still be cross contamination from being in the same case as others with gluten). The cone selection was also nice! Service was excellent, and the space had a great atmosphere. The indoor seating looked comfy, but we decided to eat outside this time around and really enjoyed it. Even though they're next to a big parking lot, there's landscaping that helps the patio feel more comfortable and enclosed. Everything was also very clean and tidy, and I appreciated that the outdoor chairs were easy to move while still being sturdy and wide enough to sit in comfortably (for reference: I sat in the black metal chairs and I'm plus size, specifically a women's 2X in most brands). In the future I'd love to come back and try one of their ice cream flights with some friends. Ultimately this is a great spot for a hang out with friends or family, and would be a great spot for a date too!

There's 4 street parking stalls out front on Johnson Dr. The inside is clean & AC was nice on hot days. The girl behind the counter was nice & gave us samples of the gelato that we were curious about. Wifey selected a med cup of dark chocolate and strawberry. I got the med cup with pistachio and coconut. We watched the girl making our cups and noticed she gave more of one flavor than the other in each of our cups. I was a lil disappointed about that. It ended up being 2/3 dark chocolate and 1/3 strawberry in wifey's cup. There was 2/3 pistachio and 1/3 coconut in mine. I like even amounts if you're gonna have a cup with 2 flavors. Lil bit of one flavor mixed with the second flavor. I ended up with a bit more pistachio than I expected. Wifey definitely had more dark chocolate than strawberry. I think next time we'll ask if they can scoop closer to even amounts of each. Although the total amount of gelato was more than worth the cost. We did sit inside since outside was pretty hot and almost no breeze. The place had 3 tables. One had seating for 4 and the other 2 had seating for 2 each. When we entered one of the 2 seater tables had 2 ladies that were jus sitting there with drinks and talking and laughing really loudly. It was echoing in the small room. Other than that it was nice in that cozy lil shop. We liked how the girl behind the counter was patient and welcomed us when we told her it was our first time there. I wanna try some other combos next time. This place reminds me of the lil gelato place we liked back home in Hawaii. A Hui Hou!

I saw they opened this location which is much closer to me so I knew I had to go. Located in Briarcliff, they have plenty of parking and good views of the city. The shop is smallish with a few seats inside and outside. The young men working there when I went were very friendly and polite. They have wide array of flavors. Definitely something for everyone. You can get cups, cones, sundaes, shakes, pints to go, and even pup cups. I don't think you can go wrong with any flavor. On my last trip I tried a seasonal apple cider donut and it was spectacular. The cinnamon roll ice cream was also delicious. A favorite that keeps me coming back is the pistachio and cherry combo. So good. My doggos love the pup cups. One is extremely picky and usually hates everything but he ate up the pup cup with a ton of enthusiasm so I'll have to grab a few more the next time I go. Definitely check them out!

Wonderful custom ice cream place with custom and creative flavors…read more Owner Todd even recreated a childhood memory flavor with a vanilla based Rocky Road. He is extremely creative and open to new flavor ideas. We put forward a Journey (80s band) based flavor "Don't Stop Bee-Lieving" for a honey base ice cream with honey coated nuts, and a Queen (80s band) flavor "Bohemian Raspberry" for a vanilla based ice cream with a Rasberry swirl and chocolate covered Raspberries. Fun and flavors can't be beat.

I ordered the Campfire S'mores ice cream, and although it was rich and creamy, I didn't really get the nostalgic hit of graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow. I felt like I was eating a glorified vanilla. For the price and hype, I was expecting more. Would I go back? Maybe if friends wanted to go and try it. Edit: The owner of High Hopes wrote a response including the statement, "Yelp glorifies amateur critics, giving them a platform for disproportionate, often weaponized power to individual opinions over professional expertise." It sounds disrespectful toward Yelpers, as if the typical person or customer isn't allowed to say whether they like or dislike something. That is the entire point of this platform, and arguably, any customer review. The response from Jamie invalidates the individual's experience and alienates the customer. If this is the culture behind High Hopes, it does not feel inclusive to all. Therefore, I will not be going back. I will keep the review at 3 stars because I stand by my original review.
