Tifa Chocolate & Gelato — Restaurant in Agoura Hills

This place is an absolute delight. The staff was so friendly and willing to help us find the perfect gelato, encouraging to try something new. I’m so impressed by the variety of flavours and how creative they are. The strawberry balsamic peaked my interested and won my heart has a delicious, fresh, and creamy blend of flavours. We ended up leaving with some baked goods and chocolates as well- talk about an amazing place to indulge!

We got 7 chocolates: dark chocolate basil, strawberry champagne, pistachio rose, vegan lemon blueberry, vegan açai blueberry, hot cocoa, and Mexican hot chocolate.

The dark chocolate basil was our first stop, it was soft and light. The basil in the cream was a little heavy handed but the after taste of the basil with the dark chocolate was delicate and beautiful. It makes me want to adventure more into herb infused chocolate!

The strawberry champagne was exactly what I wanted: a strawberries and cream flavour that just gently melted into the champagne and danced out on a soft note. It was absolutely delicious and one of my favourites.

The pistachio rose was a pistachio crusted milk chocolate truffle with a very light rose flavour, almost so subtle I couldn’t find it. The nuts added a great texture and didn’t compete with the chocolate truffle.

The lemon blueberry reminded me of a summer pie filling. You get a great balance of the blueberry and lemon- they compete a little bit as the lemon is very bold but it was delicious and I would eat a whole pie with the filling of this chocolate.

Açai blueberry also saw some competition of flavour, but rather than balancing out in the end like the lemon blueberry, the açai overpowered the blueberry to the pint where I couldn’t really find the blueberry. Definitely a must if you’re a bit fan of açai, but if you want more blueberry I’d suggest the lemon blueberry.

The hot cocoa was a masterpiece and we felt like we had a cup of hot cocoa after eating it. It was a great flavour experience. The Mexican hot chocolate started as I would’ve expected, but whoa she got spicy real quick! It was VERY intense and expected, but...

Look... this place is WONDERFUL. We are in here several times a month! I come in with my 3 year old son for a treat when we need something to do. The gelato is out of this world! Some of the best you'll ever have! They make it there and they are always experimenting with new flavors which you're free to try. My favorite was the lavender!!! ooh!!!

The ambience is great too! They have a kids table, chessboard, checkers, and they even have markers out sometime to color on the window glass in back (where you can watch them make the ice cream)!

I know what you're thinking... It's one of your favorite places, you're there every week but you gave it only 4 stars??? Well... the one downfall is that it is pricey. This is easily the most expensive place for iced treats. I could go to Menchi's twice for the amount it takes to go here once, and frankly they're just pricing me out of business. I can't afford to go here as much and I think this up-coming year we won't see them as much. I really hoped they would start a frequent buyer program... but no dice. The servers also kind of vary in kindness. Some are AMAZING! Some sort of have that half-polite yet talk down to you kind of thing.

But if it's for a treat, I would absolutely try this place and come here as often as you...

4.5 STAR. Overall. There are about 4 or 5 ice cream flavors with no artificial colors or flavors added, so we tried vegan chocolate and vanilla bean flavors this time. Flavorful, rich, sweet, yet not sickening. A little heavy for Asian taste, but I can see how a regular customer would enjoy it. More selection of all natural ice cream and gelato would make it a perfect score for me.

Priced by cup size $4.95 Small, $5.95 Medium, $6.95 large. Can choose more than one flavor for one cup size. I got a Medium to share with my 3 year old and it was more than we can finish. A small size would of been just right.

Line started forming quite long after i checked out, but moved along efficiently. Apparently a popular place.

Dominos and chess games on the tables for patrons, very comfortable and welcoming. A cool place to chill and hang out. Wouldn’t mind stopping by again if...
