"Neon-lit and vibey on Poway Road, this self-serve spot mashes up froyo, a cereal bar, a candy shop, and a snack shop—despite the name, there’s no gelato—offering a pay-by-weight buffet of fruit bits, boba, crumbled cookies, chocolate chips, and a wide array of cereals for toppings; the homegrown Gelato brand has evolved from cannabis into canned still and flavored sparkling water and now sweets, with a hidden-door back room stocked with unusual global snacks—from Japanese Kit-Kats to steak-flavored potato chips—accessed via a vending machine front with a secret code." - Helen I.
