2023-05-12 05:12:53Henry’s Take, Takes L.A.!Part 1Pretty catchy slogan, don’t you think? We haven’t launched a new series in a while and we are indebted to @1ehernandez for his creative suggestion for this series (and also for branding it).So where does one begin in the “City of Angels?” While there are countless starting points available, we chose “Gelato and Angels.” It just makes sense, right?Our Review Team brought with us the individual tastes of 8 varying palettes and yet no concerns were expressed about finding something to sample. In keeping with the L.A. theme I went with the “La Brea Tarpits” flavor and I never found myself hopelessly “stuck” in a cavity of flavorlessness. 😉In addition to the other impressive selection of flavors I was surprised by their offering of no less than a dozen Vegan flavors.Although I didn’t try these items, my imagination was captured by their “Donut Gelato Sandwich” and their “Spaghetti Sundae.” Not brave enough to try them mind you, but intrigued nonetheless.And that’s…Henry’s Take.#lagelato

2022-06-22 20:24:01When youre a gelato place in a beach side town, you need to get it right. That may put you in the Kanye-new-album pressure, but at $7.50 for 2 scoops, you gotta hit it out of the park.This place bunts.The test of great gelato is the daily free (ie sorbetto) chocolate and lemon. Get these right, and you know flavour and texture, and the rest is easy...well...lemon squeezy I guess. Sadly, here its more testical squeezy. They both have the chalky texture of dry putty; flying off the spoon like a slingshot. Dairy free doesnt mean you dont get a great, creamy texture. Not so here. The density is all wrong, and the mouth feel is exactly like eating snow...compacted snow. The taste is even more disappointing. Chocolate sorbetto can have an intensity that makes you feel like you cant eat a whole serve, but simultaneously die for more. Here, its like one of those dont hot chocolates you make with water. The lemon too misses the characteristic acid and rind that can take this stalwart to ethereal heights.Sadly this Angel dont soar.

2022-09-25 00:10:24Delicious! You can try any flavor you want, they have a variety of different gelato flavors like Thai tea boba, green tea, Taro, and then more common flavors like mocha, espresso, pistachio, salted caramel. They also have egg waffle cones, cookies, donut sandwiches, brownie bowls. We got the lemoncello gelato which was vegan and it wasn’t too sweet which was perfect. It had a strong lemon flavor. The fudge brownie was amazing - it was warm, gooey and melty inside and it tasted heavenly. Definitely recommend here over the Manhattan creamery down the street in terms of satisfying portions, but if you don’t like gelato and just want ice cream the creamery might be a better choice. I liked the egg waffles and donuts and brownie options they had here though. Amazing!

2018-01-19 15:57:18Really wide variety of super unique flavors, friendly staff who let you try plenty of flavors before making a choice, and great sizing options - you can even get a kids size and still do 2 flavors half/half side by side. I highly recommend the cookie crazy flavor, and California strawberry chocolate chip. Lavender honey is a unique one but I wouldn’t want a whole cone of it. They also have a ton of sorbet options for the lactose free. Not much seating beyond 2 tables but you can eat outside of course.

2022-05-17 03:36:52Location is awesome - very near the beach. It is one of the good gelato walking distance to the beach.But the quality of gelato is not good at-least by LA standards. For example …”baccio de latte” gelato or even Eately gelato is much better. 10 mins drive you have “gelato-go el sugando”which is much better than this.I have never thrown a gelato. I had to throw the coconut one.They write “ingredients imported from Italy” but when I asked they said it’s only a few.I tried dark chocolate and coconut. Next time I will stick to dark chocolate.

2020-09-29 03:10:11Stopped in here while walking around. Unfortunately they arent doing samples so I had to take my chances. The vegan chocolate was very good along with the banana. I have to say Ive had better vegan gelato, but this was good.
