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!

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!

French Custard has been on my list to try for awhile and I finally made it over there to squeeze in…read moresome ice cream before summer is officially over! It's such a cute little ice cream shop! There is not a lot of seating on the inside, but there are some both inside and out! I appreciate that there are not an overwhelming amount of ice cream flavors! A good mix of fun flavors and classics! There are also pints you can take to go! I tried one with peanut butter and oreos! It was good, but a little too sweet for my preference. Glad I got to try a local ice cream spot though!

I recently made my first visit to French Custard in Brookside and ordered a Peanut Butter Mud Pie…read morecone -- and the biggest takeaway is how genuinely different this place feels compared to anything else in Kansas City. This isn't just another ice cream stop. The texture and richness are immediately noticeable, and it quickly becomes clear you're trying something more refined and thoughtfully made than the typical scoop shop experience. It was an eye-opener and a reminder that even a familiar dessert can feel completely new when done at this level. The Peanut Butter Mud Pie was indulgent without being over-the-top, and the overall experience felt more like a small-batch specialty treat than a standard dessert run. Kansas City has plenty of great frozen treats, but French Custard brings something truly unique to the local scene. Definitely worth a visit if you want to try something that stands apart from the usual options.

For 20 dollars we sampled 3 different whiskey paired with 3 distinct truffles. Now knowing me I'm a 1 corona type of guy, so to be sipping on the whiskey seemed a bit much for me But there's 3 whiskeys tasted really good and was very smooth. The truffles were excellent ehich are hand made by the chocolitier in the back, thus their name. The flavors had depth and were so rich. Also the entire time she was extremely personable and friendly. In fact the friendliest restaurant person we've met in Missouri. She is extremely knowleadeable about the wines and liquors as well as the chocolates going into extensive detail and back story about the different items. Also the majority od things are sourxed from local areas, even the whiskeys. Granted things are a tad expensive, but ur paying for the knowledge and experience which is well worth it. If i ever come back to Kansas city which I won't, I will be back. This is the finest chocolate place in Kansas city!! Thank you again for the experience
