Gelato Boy

OMG. Creamy. Tasty. No ice crystals. The pistachio tastes like pistachios. The peanut butter brownie taste like that stuff too. The butter cake and caramel has chunks of butter cake. Best gelato ever tasted in Denver. Don’t walk. RUN! Get some creamy tasty goodness.

I wouldn’t say it was bad, but it wasn’t particularly good either. We tried several flavors, but none of them stood out — they just weren’t very bold or intense. I also got an ice cream sandwich, and the cookies weren’t even warm, which took away from the experience.

Thank God they offer a flavor flight so you can pick six flavors, because everything they have is incredible! We tried the dairy free dark chocolate, lavender poppy, pistachio, cookie jar, lemon whoopie pie, and chocolate hazelnut- all fantastic.

Saw it walking by and decided to hop on in and see what they had. The cookie sandwich immediately caught my eye, but they also had cones and more to pick from, including prepacked pints. I got a scoop of cookie ice cream on my warm cookies, and while it was a mess to eat, it was a yummy one! Glad they provided a spoon

Popped in here while wandering downtown Denver. They had some very unusual flavors, including lavender berry. It was fabulous! There wasn't just a hint of lavender, the luscious flavor oozed lavender decadence without being overwhelming, with just the right touch of berry for balance. My companion chose the strawberry and the flavor was like eating fresh strawberries and cream. You are allowed samples on a tiny metal spoon, which is their way of eliminating unnecessary trash with wooden or plastic utensils. The staff was kind and patient while we perused the many flavors and offered suggestions on their multiple types of cones. They also have gluten-free cones which were appreciated by my companion and their sensitive tummy. The table set up and lobby type area was spotlessly clean as the utensils and other items behind the glass window. I highly recommend gelato boy and will definitely partake of their deliciousness the next time I'm in town.

Never had gelato and wasn’t sure what to expect but it was good and didn’t make me feel overly full or bloated like normal ice cream does. Neat and clean atmosphere and friendly crew. We got mint chip & salted cookie

Love the gelato boy! Ordered the pistachio gelato and hazelnut crunch, with a waffle cone on top (specifically asked for this so I don’t have to eat half the gelato before getting to the waffle cone..). Both gelatos were great! Perfect for a hot summer day!

So delicious! I got regular (3 flavors) - pistachio, coffee chip, and chocolate hazelnut crunch. The flavors are rich but so good. Friendly staff and fast service. Highly recommend!

It was super busy and crowded in there but we still had fast service. The gelato was fire - I had the salted caramel.

Yum!!! Expensive, yes. Delicious, YES!! Worth the splurge for sure! I had the gooey caramel cake and peanut butter brownie - so good!! The girl behind the counter was by herself, so busy, but handled it well! The servings were generous in my opinion. I couldn't even finish my small cut as it was so rich!

Very small place, but perfect for a sweet treat. The ice cream was good, waffle cone was fresh. It was a perfect treat that we ate outside.

Unique place to get something nice and cool to beat the heat. They also have seasonal flavors

Delicious flavors love to see what they switch up when I go! I also love getting the to go pints for easy access at home

Happened to see this place on the way back from lunch to our hotel in downtown Denver and we were just in the mood for something sweet. We went in on a late Friday afternoon and there was no wait and the tables were completely empty. Staff were very helpful and friendly and you are free to sample as much of the gelato as you like. They have a regular waffle or a churro waffle and I was recommended their churro waffle and it didn't disappoint. Added layer of cinnamon sweet goodness (as I got it warmed) that went great with our 2 scoops of gelato. I got the salty cookies and cream and gooey butter cake with caramel. The butter cake also has a bit of sea salt in it too, so this was the perfect balance of salty sweet for me. The salty cookies and cream is mad with their own version of Oreos and is their newer take on the classic flavor. Definitely lighter and not as sweet. I believe they have dairy free and other dietary options for their ice cream, as well as cookies and brownies too. Overall, pretty good place to get some gelato!

Wednesday night around 4 PM wasn't busy at all Service was fast and friendly Nice relaxing little place The gelato itself has great flavor and great texture, it's not icy at all very creamy and has a slight stretchy texture Pistachio and vanilla poppy 11/10 for both flavors

Tucked into the 16th street mall promenade. This place was open late on a Saturday night. I loved seeing that their gelatos were soaring up high and brightly colored. You know it's good when you see those silver tops!! I chose a chocolate crunch and pistachio mix. The crunch was delicious, but the pistachio a little lacking of the regular flavor I can taste with pistachio. The service was quick and straight to the point. I do wish the place was a little more lively in terms of ambiance. It was a bit too quiet and awkward as you ordered. Kinda wish there was some tunes to help out. All in all it wasn't bad for a late night joint.

We love how close this gelato spot was to our hotel in Downtown Denver! Gelato Boy was recommended to us, and the flavors were both classic and unique. Loved the creamy texture and chunks in the ice cream. Split small scoop was perfect night cap! Salty cookies n cream is an absolute must - not too salty and it's a fun twist on Oreo. The milk and cookies reminds me of the Ben & Jerry's flavors, with lots of cookies swirled in.

My friends and I were in the mood for gelato while shopping, so we popped into gelato boy. I like that they offer a variety of flavors and dairy free flavors. They also let you sample. I had the small lemon poppyseed and strawberry. Even for being dairy free, they were pretty creamy and had a good mouth feel. There is limited seating inside. Clean tables. I appreciated that the AC was on because it was a hot day!

Disappointed in the lack of creaminess and flavor in both my scoops - salty cookies & cream and milk & cookies. Don't think I would have been able to say what the flavors were if I didn't know ahead of time. There was also an absence of cookie pieces. I ordered a cookie and brownie and were thankful that they warmed them up, but again, not much flavor. They also didn't seem freshly baked or homemade. I'd opt for another gelato/ice cream shop based off of this experience.

I will never say no to a gelato/ice cream spot, especially during a hot weekend in Denver! I am a sorbet type person, so I loved they had a dairy free fruity option which was strawberry. I thought the flavor was very good and not as creamy as a typical ice cream, which I thought was exactly what I was looking for. If you're shopping around the 16th Street Mall area and looking for a sweet treat to cool down, I would recommend Gelato Boy.

Perfect after-dinner stop on our way back to the hotel. Cups, sugar cones, waffle cones and we even watched the heat up a cookie for their gelato sandwich. So many excellent flavors-I tried lavender poppy and mango coconut-so delicious! Next stop in was for chocolate hazelnut crunch, heavenly! There is often a line, but it moves, and the people who serve the gelato are so helpful. Chill ambiance with seating indoors and outside.

This is a cute gelato spot right on the strip of 16th street mall. The customer service was amazing. They were so friendly and answered all my questions. My nephews are the ones who actually for cones. I just taste tested two flavors the flavor I first tried was the hot honey biscuit and it literally tasted like Honey biscuit with a kick (spice) as well as some little things of actual biscuit in it as well. I liked it a lot it was creamy and all gelatos are in house made the next flavor I tried was gooey butter cake and caramel. This one was probably my favorite. It was definitely gooey and you tasted every bit of all the flavors. If I'm ever in the area I'll definitely be back to try whatever the new flavor of the week is.

Very friendly place unfortunately in the midst of the rubble that going on at the 16th st mall. We went there for dessert after lunch and just chilled while enjoying their gelato's.

What a delicious treat! They have a great little rewards program! They recently celebrated 10 years and gave away some gift cards on instagram and I was one of the lucky winners. We got to get 3 different scoops and 3 different flavors! The service was great ! The place was small but it's in another building you can cool off in while getting out of the summer heat! We tried Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch, Salty Cookies and Cream, and Raspberry Chocolate Chip! I thought all 3 flavors were delicious !

I tried the dairy free strawberry and the espresso chip, both were very good! I appreciate the variety of non-dairy flavors available. Also, it has a cute atmosphere and nice seatings option inside

I ran into a random building as it started to rain on Denver and ended up buying myself a small two-scoop of gelato from Gelato Boy. I had a two-scoop of lavender poppy and salted cookies and cream-- and the combo is a winner! Bummers: - Kinda steep for such a small serving and not offering a kid scoop option... I paid nearly $7 for this business - Not a small place and seating is outside

Great and Rich Gelato! Fav: pistachio, butter cake caramel and red velvet. 3 tables with stools available inside. Stools also available outside. Great service - would recommend!

Visited this store over Labor Day weekend. Ordered a variety of flavors and all were delicious! So flavorful and satisfying. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The store was busy with lots of holiday customers but staff never missed a beat and customer service was excellent. Overall, we loved our experience and highly recommend!

I stopped by Gelato Boy on a recent trip to Denver. While I only had the one scoop, I promise it's worth the 5 stars I'm giving here. I ordered the dairy free dark chocolate gelato. It was so rich and delicious and I didn't miss the dairy at all. I spent the rest of my trip thinking about it and was so upset that I just couldn't make space for more of it. I fear I'll never have a dark chocolate gelato so good again!

Located right on 16th St. It's Gelato Boy. So expect an awesome creamy creation. My first Gelato Boy was in Boulder. There's a love story behind this incredible gelato. Native Coloradan Boy meets Italian girl in Italy. Falls in love with both girl and gelato. Gelato Boy was born. The closest thing you can get to an Italian gelato without a passport. I like their flavors. Whatever you get here you will most likely come back for more. Such great quality n creamy gelato!

this is really good gelato. a little pricey but worth it imo. I tried the milk chocolate fudge, lavender poppy, and lemon poppy. all so delicious. the staff are friendly too. i will definitely go back. ** keep in mind the seating here is only high top tables.

So today I happened to catch this place out of the corner of my eye, and I decided that I would give it a go and try some of their gelato! I tried some samples, and then proceeded to place my order for a small cup of gelato. There were lots of folks ordering different kinds of flavors, and this just added to my excitement! Upon tasting the Buttercake Caramel, It was like taking a bite into love!!! The gooey richness of the caramel, combined with the soft notes of butter cake was pure bliss! I took my time eating every single last bite, while also letting the sunlight penetrate my skin. This is a great shop! Check it out! They are putting love into their gelato!

By far the best gelato I've had outside of Italy. A lil on the pricey side but well worth it in my opinion. Cookie sandwich wasn't as good as just getting the straight up gelato. Gooey butter cake and caramel was my favorite flavor!

Some of the best gelato I've had in awhile! It smells amazing when you walk in and fresh waffle cones made to order!

Great service! Amazing gelato and an immaculate atmosphere in the store! Everyone here is so nice! I HIGHLY recommend the GOOEY BUTTERCAKE + CARAMEL

Cute spot on 16th street. Not bad. My friend really enjoyed it. For nondairy options there wasn't a huge selection, I only saw 2 when I went but still very good!

Friendly service and excellent gelato is a great combo. Owner is Venetian and makes gelato like a true Italian - in covered metal containers. Taste the difference in quality when prepared this way. I'm on vacation from Los Angeles and have yet to find a place in Cali that does this! I've had their pints from Gelsons, but the texture is so much creamier when taken freshly out of the metal containers. Employees said the owner had the containers imported from Italy. Slightly on the expensive side, but yes, worth every penny. The waffle had that perfectly just made slightly crunchy slightly chewy texture. Enjoy and you're welcome

Really amazing gelato made with quality ingredients. When I was in Italy, a local told me the best gelato was not the kind that was showcased behind glass with fruits and chocolates decorating if. Truly good gelato gets kept in closed containers where you can't see it until scooped. This place serves just that, with some of my favorite Italian flavors like dark chocolate and Sicilian pistachio. The guy serving us was super friendly and helped us choose our flavors. Not really anywhere to sit down and eat your gelato, but I am still so glad I chose this place for dessert.

I don't typically like gelato, in fact I came into this store thinking that it was ice cream. The staff was incredibly friendly and nice. They let me try four to five different flavors without giving me dirty looks, which I appreciated. Especially since they were very, very busy and the store is quite small. They have a couple tables for seating one to two people, if you come here with a large party be prepared to eat and walk. After deciding on a flavor ( cookies and chocolate chip ) I got it on a cone, which is another thing I never do. And then it wasn't until I had already eaten a few bites that I realized thenemployees shirt said "gelato boy" and I realized I was eating gelato and not ice cream. Let me tell you, this place changed my entire perspective on gelato. This some of the best cold treat dessert that I've ever had and I am sad that I am only visiting Denver and won't be able to enjoy it on a regular basis. Definitely give this place a shot!

Pretty good selection of flavors. I ended up getting the Sicilian pistachio, which had really true pistachio flavor. On recommendation from our server, I paired it with the salty cookies and cream. There were a number of dairy free flavors as well. I mostly liked it, but did think it was too sweet. I did think it was rather decently priced - I saw one reviewer say it was way too expensive, but the small with up to two flavors was still a very generous portion in my opinion.

I was craving a milkshake and was happy to find out that I could grab one here. There's a good amount of ice cream flavours available so I'm sure everyone would be able to find something they want. For the milkshakes I was told I could have up to 4 flavours! Pretty wild. The milkshake was tasty but it ended up costume about $10 after tax and tip which feels a bit much for me to go back and grab again on a regular basis.

This place was delicious, the options are great and everything is very well priced. The service is also top notch. Definitely check it out if you have the opportunity.

Best gelato ever???? I love it and I want more of it always. The salted Oreo I would stand in front of a moving vehicle for if it was crossing the road at the wrong time

Killer place and great gelato! So many delicious flavors and the people are wonderful. In the words of the T1000, "I'll be back."

The ice cream is excellent here, but it was the warmest ice cream shop I have ever been in. The teenagers working the counter or polite and quick, even though they were completely overworked.

The people that work here are amazing! The quality of the gelato is some of the best I've had in Denver and the atmosphere of the store really was what originally drew me in! cannot recommend this place more

I'm a sucker for gelato and Gelato Boy did not disappoint. I especially love the Dark Chocolate.

This place is great - we had the hazelnut gelato and the gooey butter cake gelato with 2 chocolate chip cookies on the side. So, so good. It was all solidly tasty, which left us wanting more. Great location in the 16th Street Mall. You can enter from the outside or, if you are in the main building, there is a door to Gelato Boy there, too. The staff and service were nice. They were so accommodating and helped us figure out what we were going to order. They also offered us samples to help.

Staff were nice , gelato was pretty mid. I think if you just needed a sweet pick me up then this would work but wouldn't spend that much again for subpar gelato

This was absolutely delicious. I never thought that i would enjoy lavender gelato but it was delicious. The worker was really nice and let us sample a bunch of flavors

I didn't expect to find such a great gelato place in Denver! My date and I shared three flavors: salted honey cake, sweet cream newtella, and goey buttercake caramel. Loved ALL the flavors, but the salted honey cake was my favorite! I really appreciated that there were unique offerings at this place.

So good, we had it twice in two days! Once downtown and once at the airport. Both were fantastic!

The brookie gelato flavor was unreal. Get it. It won't disappoint. The area this is in is a little sketchy and not many place to eat inside but I'd still be back.

Typed in vegan desserts into Yelp and this place came up with options. Their dairy free ice cream is either coconut milk or water based per the girls working there. My husband had the df options and was big fan of the chocolate and he paired it with their banana flavor. I had the milk ice cream flavors of s'more and ooey gooey. Both options were creamy and priced well

I've been waiting for over a year to go to the actual gelato boy store. Have been a fan for a long time. We went at 3 pm on a Monday afternoon and it was fairly crowded. There was one lady working behind the counter. Which is fine, but she had 0 sense of urgency (took her about 5 min to fill the milkshake cup with an acceptable amount of Ice cream) which is frustrating since there were quite a bit of people in line. I couldn't watch her not give a crap any longer and left not having l moved in line at all. I find it exhausting when I'm excited to go to a place and they have service that compares to that of a dive bar that they don't want "your kind" at. I'll probably never attempt to go to one of the stores again but may buy the over priced pints, who knows. Love the ice cream

Woah, woah, woah - I've always considered myself an ice cream gal but Gelato Boy has quickly converted me. The gelato is SOOOO creamy!! I'm certain there isn't a bad flavor in the house. I was blown away by the quality and also how large the scoops are! I got a small which can be divided between two flavors (two giant scoops in a small?? yes please!). I ordered the Coffee Chip and the Gooey Buttercake + Caramel in a waffle cone and it was simply delicious. Can't wait to come back!

Really high priced for what you get (nearly $7 a scoop). I had the salted cookie and the tiramisu and both were SICKLY SWEET and had a chalky texture like they use a bunch of corn starch. Overall, not that great and I think if I tried to risk it again I might legit go into diabetic shock.
