LOVE

by KitchenInc , Citysearch Contributor

I could spend hours writing about the many virtues of this place, but my infatutaion with this place is so great that only a poem is appropriate

Ode To Gelato Blu

" Oh Gelato Blu, how I love thee!,

You have brought such joy to my mouth,

Your many flavors, so foreign to me,

Make you always welcome in my house.

From popcorn to blue cheese I have tasted,

In a glorious cream that you give me

In my heart, I know you'll never be bested,

For what a gelato truly is, I do now see

Your coffee as well is impeccable,

From boring chains you have set me free

All your drinks, so delectable,

A starbucks I now know is not for me

A knowledgeable staff, a swanky place

Is there anything that right, you do not do?

Every visit, a smile on my face,

and for all of the above, I do thank you"

I guess this sums up my feelings for the place. If you haven't been here yet, drop everything that you're doing and go, hands down the best Ice Cream in town.

Mediocre food, great gelato

by Natalie S

Well, the gelato was great but the menu left much to be desired. They only had 3 sandwiches when we went, and they were not anything special and were out of many items. Soups were mediocre. Probably won't come back unless it's specifically for gelato.

  • Pros: GREAT gelato
  • Cons: Medicore food, limited menu

Ice Cream better than regular ice cream

by lilgirl5638

Gelato Blu is 10 times better than starbucks, and you can watch tv or surf the web. I highly recommend it. The staff there is friendly and outgoing. The owner is great too, I watched him give a bowl of water to a customers puppy. How nice of him huh? That's what you call great customer service. They also won the best Gelato of the Year!!

  • Pros: Location is part of a small shopping strip, so you can go do your nails, or go tanning.
  • Cons: The place should be bigger so more people can fit in there.

Flavor Exploration

by Anna2413

Gelato Blue keeps you coming back for more ! This beats Paciugo by far with its seasonal flavors, ingenuity, and pleasant cafe atmosphere. The owner really wants to get to know his customers and is always open for suggestions on flavors. I visit Gelato Blu weekly since I know no two visits will ever be the same.

  • Pros: Variety, customer service, cost

Absolutely Incredible Gelato!

by jeisenhardt

Best I've ever had. The "Pistachio" in particular, is like nothing you've ever tasted. So fresh and flavorful. I also love the strawberry and every other flavor I've tasted. The handmade cones are incredible, too. Really, you have to try this place!

  • Pros: Best gelato in town
  • Cons: none
