Testimonials

On 9/14/2025 Tiara W had this to say:
This was my first time having Gelato. It is made in house and all of it is dairy free. The staff was so friend and patient as I asked more questions about the ingredients. I usually don't go in for the plain flavors but I did vanilla and chocolate with chunks of mochi. It was delicious. But my best decision of my visit was to get the salted caramel peanut butter drizzle/spread. Ohhh my goodness heavenly!

On 9/13/2025 Emily Coulter had this to say:
At most ice cream shops (and restaurants in general, for that matter), vegan options are an afterthought. All of the love and attention and R&D is paid to their dairy-based flavors, and the two to three vegan options (which serves not just vegans, but people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies) are either a sorbet (which is delicious, but lacking the creaminess I desire in an ice cream and ever being the only vegan fruit option gets tiresome after a while) or a coconut-forward version of an otherwise interesting flavor (which is creamy, but, as someone who dabbles in making ice cream, is coconut-y for no other reason than convenience). At Davvero Gelato, their entire R&D process is centered around being vegan. While this no-expense-spared / ingredient-focused approach presumably does make it impossible to eat here if you have a nut allergy, you can otherwise be guaranteed that the scoop you are getting is deliciously thoughtful. The creative and delightful specials and frequent rotation of flavors gives customers like me (who loves novelty, especially in the realm of food) reason to keep coming back. Davvero sets the standard not just for vegan ice cream, but for ice cream in general. As this week marks their first anniversary in business, I can’t help but be excited to see what they do next.

The best vegan gelato in town! The flavors are different every week and I have yet to find a flavor that I do not love. The service is great and both Lane and Steph are amazing and remember who I am when I go in which makes it feel even more welcoming. The old school barber shop turned vegan gelato shop creates the perfect ambiance of old and new. My only wish is that the space was bigger so we could have more space for customers inside and possibly have a table or two for indoor dining, but their outdoor patio is the best when the weather is nice!

I tried this vegan gelato place for the first time yesterday. I had their brownie chunk chocolate and velvet s'mores flavors. It was yummy. I highly recommend going to this place for vegan free ice cream! It tastes like real ice but dairy free!
