"Bambino Scoops is mixing up fresh gelato daily inside its small store in Jacksonville. The gelato shop makes 40 different flavors that rotate seasonally with options like banana chocolate, sweet pineapple and mango, and tropical guava and passionfruit. The best part about this ice cream spot is that it’s even using local produce to create the end product, so when visitors come to get a scoop they are truly getting a taste of Northeast Florida." - Megan duBois

Between the artistry of the decor and the ice cream as well as the amazing explanations of how the different flavors are made, this is a MUST have if you are in the neighborhood. I took my eldest daughter here yesterday on the recommendation of my sister and I’m glad I did. I have had homemade style ice cream before but this was something on a whole other level. I know it sounds fake but you can taste the love and care that went into making the food. In a time when so many small family owned businesses are failing, this one stands strong and there is a reason for it. From the artistic nature of the food, to the kindness of the owners,… this is a place that I hope lasts and grows for many years to come. Support family owned and local business. Come get your ice cream here!!!!

Came here based on the reviews and they did not disappoint. I got a three scoop cup with Irish cream and the Marsala, a shot of espresso, my partner got the lemoncello butter cake, and we got a four pack of macaroons to split. Everything was phenomenal. The service is amazing too gentlemen behind the counter was welcoming and provided excellent service. We will definitely be coming back.

Great customer service. Tasty treats. My son said after just the second bite it was the best ice cream he has ever had. Definitely recommend and will be back soon.

What an amazing find! Service is outstanding, the recommendations were great, and product itself is absolutely delicious. There were seven of us in our group and every single one of us LOVED what we got. The kids got combos in cones and bowls, I got the adult version with some extra spirits added in. Every bit of it was amazing. On the way out and grab a couple coffees, one strawberry cheesecake and the other one caramel vanilla. Both of them amazing. If you're in the neighborhood definitely check this place out because it is worth your time and something that deserves to be supported!

This place is never disappointing. Everything we’ve tried has been incredible. It’s all homemade by the family who owns and runs it. They are always so genuinely nice and will tell you about everything they make here. We’ll definitely keep coming back.

Just randomly popped in here. Glad I did! Everything is freshly made in house with fresh ingredients. He let me taste test flavors. They have dairy free options cute little place. I’ll be popping back in for sure. You should too!

Bambino Scoops is incredible! We stopped in for an afternoon treat and their gelato blew us away! My wife got their mint chocolate chip and the golden oreo along with a pumpkin spice latte, and here we are 2 hours later still talking about it! I got thier vanilla and Venuzuelan chocolate with a shot of espresso. It was so light, yet the flavors were so powerful and wonderful! The owner, Manuel, really, really knows what he's doing. You can taste the passion he has for his food! Every bite of that gelato was like a little piece of heaven. Well done, Bambino Scoops! We will be back for much, much more! If you're looking for a wonderfully well crafted desert or coffee, please stop in to Bambino Scoops and help support a local business that gives quality and more!

We had the best ice cream here Today. The display was very creative and appealing- it was hard to decide which flavor I wanted! The quality was superb and the owner friendly and informative. We will definitely be back

I have been a regular at Bambino's since they opened and have seen them grow and go through different flavors of ice cream and innovate as times change. The owner is the sweetest man ever, he treats me with so much love and compassion every time I go here. This is something that so many overlook, connecting with your customers.. today his ice cream is the best in town but there was a time when he opened that is was mediocre, but I came back because the guy was so sweet. Today the ice cream is undoubtedly the best! Being an ice cream shop in todays world has all kinds of restrictions (like the fact that you can't taste ice cream anymore) but Bambino's goes the extra mile for you. They allow you to have as many tastes as you want and always make you feel welcome, a great environment for kids! They also have playful walls and fun things for kids to do there. They also serve coffee and sandwiches which I have never gotten, but I'm sure they are fantastic too!

Great little mom/pop style place that serves great tasting homemade gelato! The color combinations and various options tantalize both young and young at heart here! Surprisingly, they carried more than just gelatos... from churros to empanadas to paninis, they are sure to have something you crave.

What an adorable gelato shop! This is an authentic shop with a husband and wife team serving up delicious treats! They were so sweet greeting us when we walked in, giving us a lesson on the difference of gelato and ice cream, ice cream is airier with a higher fat content, gelato is creamier and even served a few degrees warmer then ice cream, so to me it has a silkier texture, almost like ice cream that has sat out for a few minutes! They offered up all the samples we wanted to try, everything tasted good but I ended up getting the peanut butter, it was a little bit harder then the other gelatos and I liked the texture, it was creamy and delicious! Very cool there is a shop like this here in Jax!

This is my new favorite place of all time with all of my favorite culinary delights. The gelato is so good no matter the flavor. I also tried the chicken empanada and it was perfect. My hubby tried the ice caramel latte, it was so authentic. Everything was fresh and the prices are great especially since it is all made from scratch. The service was amazing and it's such a friendly and cozy atmosphere. I wanted to stay there forever! Ps I had to do a review here too. They're awesome!!!

I have been back for more gelato! This is definitely my go to ice cream place when I'm in my sisters neighborhood. They change the flavors regularly so I'll be coming back. The texture (not too icy but smooth and rich) , flavor (tiramisu and lemon cake? Yes please!) and overall experience is what I want in my ice cream. Not to mention the cool star wars figurines.

Bambino Scoops is delicious! We're actually enjoying our treats and meal right now. The guy who works here is also super accommodating and friendly. We came for the gelato since they have a big sign for that out front, but ended up indulging in some cakes and paninis as well. The gelato is made fresh daily, which made it extra fresh and yummy. They also serve smoothies and coffee. Definitely check this place out :)

I opted for the banana caramel which is absolutely phenomenal! It's made with real bananas and homemade caramel. Service very friendly and everything is made fresh with fresh flavors that are rotated. I had the tastiest iced coffee. I drink my coffee black and there was no bitterness. They also serve paninis and empanadas. I highly recommend.

Made to order cannoli so that they didn't get soggy. So good!! Customizable with chocolate and powdered sugar toppings. Some of the best filling ever!

I don't know what that cranky Amada lady is talking about when she rated it 1 star she crazy this place is easy 5 stars. The owner is amazing and loves his business ! The other food is amazing as well coffee is off the charts.

We were looking for an Ice cream shop to support but wanted a small business and not a big chain place. We are not disappointed with google's suggestion of Bambinos. It is a small hole in the wall type of place and it has a great small town, ice cream shop rite of vibe. They serve gelato, not ice cream, but it also still tasted great. There were lots unique flavors all made in house. I had the Choco chip coffee/white wine with a brownie, whip cream and chocolate syrup. The brownie was warm and delicious. The gelato didn't have that weird wine taste and the flavors blended great. The owner (manni) is very friendly and you can tell he has a passion for what he does.

Only real gelato in the city. Excellent product, the owner makes the ice cream from scratch, flavors change every week. Customer service is excellent. They just won an award for their products and service. Please stop by an support locally owned business!!!

I came here and tried one of each item. Everything was delicious, but not really my forte. It was all just a little too sweet for me. Occasionally would be okay for me to come back. The Owner, she is very nice. I liked her a lot. I tried crepes, coffee, gelato(is made fresh each day), and some cookies. I spent about an hour savoring the flavors from each item. The location was a little hard to find, but it is in the Publix lot. The signage is kind of unclear. Maybe that will be improved in time. I highly recommend this place.

This is some of the best gelato I have ever had. They also had some delicious looking paninis and empanadas. The staff and ownership are all tremendously kind people. I love that they care so deeply for dogs and donate to making their lives better. This is a high quality local business that we all should support. Thank you to the generous and thoughtful staff for making the world a better place.

Always great, personal service. The owners are really sweet people and truly enjoy what they do. The gelato and sorbet selections are nice and always something different each time I go. Definitely recommend the Limoncello mascarpone cake and red velvet! Never had a bad experience.

The location is a small but I like small mom and pops businesses. With only have a hand full of flavors to try, each are made with cane sugar and it's all made in house. The flavors we got were Jazz and Pineapple Mango and they were great!!

Love this place! Cute little gelato shop tucked away in a shopping plaza. A few tables inside and also outside seating was available. The owner was super friendly and took his time explaining each flavor and letting us try whatever we wanted. They have gelato, sorbet, shakes, and other desserts/baked goods to choose from. I got the Lemon Cake Gelato and it was so delicious. Lots of lemon flavor and pieces of lemon cake mixed in. Will definitely be back to try more flavors!

My teenager sent me out for Starbucks when I pulled in I noticed this new gelato shop so NATURALLY I had to go in. Man oh man! WHAT A SOLID DECISION! I was greeted by the friendliest woman who happened to be the owner. She asked if it was my first time in and with my answer her face lit up and started handing me tiny spoonfuls of HEAVEN. What pride she had in my reactions to her craft. I tried almost every flavor I left with 17 tiny spoons and settled in Chocolate- I KNOW, I KNOW! She gave me crap for it too but you'd never imagine how AMAZING it was, totally hand made and it's obvious she LOVES WHAT SHE DOES! Amazing a definite Must try! Totally worth the trip!

Misty P.

Amazing and all homemade!! Even the cones!!! The owner let us try all the flavors and was so nice.

Carla M.

Came here for a cool treat and we really enjoyed it. We tried the chocolate gelato and the coconut gelato. So far it's the only place in town that we've found that makes gelato and serves gelato in house which is a huge plus. Both flavors were very yummy and the owner was soooo kind. Love the feel of the place We'll definitely be back :)

Mechelle C.

Yelp
Cute little place that's clean and new. Serves Gelato that is made in house. Some pastries are available as well. Samples are offered to customers and Tuesday evening is sampling day. I had the watermelon sherbet. Not many dairy free or sugar free options here, but it's definitely a delicious treat. The cost is a bit pricey so I probably won't be back much. Nice folks tho so go and visit!!!

This place is a great local, Neighborhood spot. I LOVE gelato and couldn't wait to try it. They make.all their gelato in-house and boy is it delicious! They have tons of flavors to choose from. We took the kids there and they loved it too. Their concept is cute allowing the kids to write notes with sticky notes and they leave them all over the wall. This place is small business and the family is very sweet. We always try to support local, small businesses, and this one definitely has our vote!

Best cannoli in town. I appreciate the top shelf customer service. This place is great when I want to drop in for a scoop of gelato for the kids or some cannolis for the wife.

Lovely little gelatto place that also serves coffee and sweets. The flavors are all hand made and exceptional. My favorite is the Yocation. The staff were really friendly AND even gave us a free crepe! Really enjoyed it.

Yelp
Great little gelato shop for our neighborhood which has been lacking in places to go. The gelato was great and the owner was very friendly. I felt the price was a little high. $4.59 for one scoop. This was my first time trying gelato so maybe that's the going price. Overall it was a good experience!

Kelly L.

Yelp
This is an amazing mom and pop Gelato shop. They have so many yummy flavors to choose from, but the lemon chello cake was mine. The owner was so sweet. If you support local small businesses check these guys out.

This place it right next to the martial arts place. It's a small place that has two high top tables and a kids table. The owner is so nice! She let my friends and I sample their in house gelato - all of which are amazing! They also rotate flavors too. I got there a little later then my friends but they told me she explained the desserts that they have as well as the gelato and other sweet treats they have. I got the orange mango and caramel which is a weird combo to have side by side but it was great! My friends and I sat there for maybe an hour and the owner randomly brought out a crepe for us to try. We weren't expecting that and it was super nice of her to do that. Prices for the gelato depends on how many scoops you get - $5-$12 but everything is made fresh and in house! I will definitely be back to try more flavors!

My boys and I went here on a whim after school. The service was amazing! The ice cream was so good, many different types of flavors, the waffle cones were made fresh. This is going to be a new favorite place we will go to from now on.

Bambino Scoops is a great addition to the area. We stop in whenever we can and are never disappointed. The flavors are always great, the staff is always friendly, and the restaurant is always clean. They often have non-dairy and vegan options as well.

Lucked into finding this place today and it was amazing! My husband and I both got the affogato and they were delicious. Manny, who owns it with his wife, was super friendly! Yummy treats, fabulous service, and can't go wrong supporting a local family business.

Amanda B.

Yelp
Over priced, not enough topping options. Not enough flavors I enjoy really. Maybe someone else does. The cotton candy flavor tasted like medicine. Maybe I should of got a slice of cake. No cones, only cups. Maybe we went on a bad flavor day. Sadness.

Sandy G.

Yelp
Kids loved it but most of the flavors were extremely sweet! But lots of flavor choices so I'm sure there's one for everyone. Fruit punch is definitely a punch to the tastebuds!! Haha

We tried this place tonight for the first time and we will definitely be back. The gelato flavors were amazing. So glad to have them in the neighborhood!

Leah S.

Very rich ice cream! Plus great customer service and overall personality from I'm assuming the owner, but he wasn't wearing a mask so it was a little uncomfortable.

Julio O.

Some of the flavors not even close to the real thing and tasted king off watery. And the prices bad really overpriced.

Kendra C.

Loved this place! The owner is super friendly and let us sample however many flavors we wanted all while telling us the ingredients and how he made it. Everything is made fresh with no artificial flavors and it was sooo tasty.

Visited Yesterday for the first time. We had a wonderful experience!! The Gelatos were delicious and the owner was one of the nicest people we've ever met! The whole place looks very clean and welcoming and they offer a wide assortment of flavors and other pastries that are all made fresh daily. So glad to have a place like this in our area, it was much needed!!
