Oh Gelato

Literally threw this ice cream away. Spent $14 for two small ice creams, and it was basically ice water with cheap ingredients mixed in. Went to Victoria Ice Cream and Fudge Factory down the street only to find that it was the exact same garbage. Hard pass on both. Found two better places. Favoris and Johnson's

Was excited when I passed by and saw all the assortment of flavours, came in and asked for a sample of the chocolate (a pretty basic flavour) and the staff member declined and said they do not offer samples of any flavours. I said no worries and asked for a scoop anyways with high hopes still. It tasted like ice or frozen sugar free watered hot cocoa. I was pretty unsatisfied and said I didn’t really enjoy the ice cream, and I wish they’d offer a sample first. No one replied and just stood there. For 8$ a scoop I was displeased they wouldn’t even offer a flavour change at least.. I said no worries i’d still pay but are they able to dispose of it for me as I likely won’t be eating it (it was that bad) and they again rudely declined my request and said I can walk across the road to a trash can.No wonder they don’t offer samples because the ice cream is extremely disappointing for the high price…

So many new flavoyrs and so beautifully displayed, it is bit costly $7 a scoop, but worth trying once.

I'm keeping this on my favorites for now as I want to go back and try more of their Gelato and other items. I had a double chocolate dipped cheesecake. It was very rich and satisfying but it actually wore down my sensitive gums a bit, probably from the texture of the chocolate topping. It tasted great though!

Doesn't worth it!Expensive and extremely sweet for our tastes plus the service is awful.My kiddos weren't sure about which one choose and they denied very rude a small try it and the combination of flavors.So basically so bought a huge and expensive ice cream expecting they like it and that didn't happen.

Among all the gelato/ice cream shops in the area, this offers the most flavors. Pretty much any flavor you can think of. They offer 1 or 2 scoops in a cup or a cone, but its a bit pricey. The gelato is really nice and flavorful, but leans more towards icy. I really like the pineapple and spumoni flavors.

Very average gelato, horrible sorbet (pure ice). Unbelievably bored and monotone indifferent server. Carbon copy of several of its type along the tourist trap row. $$

I enjoyed coming into this shop a few times while I was in Victoria. The best thing is definitely the selection- they advertise having 66 flavours, and they had almost 40 of those when I went in. There were tons I wanted to try, but I ended up having Fig and Honey, Sweet Lemon, and then 2 sorbets on a seperate occasion- Watermelon and Kiwi.The quality of the gelato was not bad. Pretty smooth and well-textured, though I was a bit disenchanted to see them use an ice cream scoop instead of a gelato spatula. The girl made my scoops perfectly round, though, so I didn't mind too much! I would actually say their gelato is pretty good even though it's not the most authentic or high quality. I would certainly try some other flavours!I would skip the sorbet though (unless you're dairy free). It was kind of like eating a slushie- small crunchy ice crystals, artificial flavours and colours and not the velvety-smooth sorbetto that is customary at gelaterias (like Mosi).Overall, it was good for what it was, though. A quick stop with tons of options and delicious looking flavours in a touristy- sort of shop. Not gourmet or artisan, but pleasant.Here are the flavours they had when I went in (in order shown)Picture 1:Maple walnut, green tea, banana fudge, Belgian chocolateVanilla mango, Irish cream, coconut, salted caramelPicture 2:Hazelnut, Espresso almond crunch, Cappucino cookie, Jack danielsStraciatella, BC berry blast, Vanilla bean, Mint choc chipPicture 3:Mango, rum raisin, Choc orange, Butter pecan,Picture 4:Cookies 'n cream, Maple cookie crunch, Rocky road, Pecan mudslideFig and honey, nanaimo bar, Black cherryPicture 5:Choc peanut butter, Pistachio, SpumoneTiramisu, Sweet lemon, Orange creamPicture 6:Berry cheesecake, Strawberry cheesecake, White choc raspberry, Belgian cookie crunch,Wild strawberry, Bubble gum, English toffee crunch, Choc raspberryPicture 7: (sorbet)Chocolate,???, Coconut?Strawberry, Pineapple, Exotica,Picture 8: (sorbet)Watermelon, Lime, LemonForest Fruits, Kiwi, Blood orange

I visited them in Dec 2022 and I am so disappointed by the size of the cup. I ordered two scopes and the ice cream was melting all over my hand. The cup could barely hold a single scope let alone two scopes. The flavors were nice, that I'll give them but the size of the cups is just disappointing.

Unfriendly service. Bought vanilla and received coconut…sales person argued it was vanilla. Finally gave replacement which was coconut again. Most likely containers/labels next to each other switched. Gave up and threw ice cream away as I dislike coconut much.
