Honeysuckle Gelato is a great addition to Cary’s growing collection of upscale shops, nestled among enough face serums and $100 leggings to make your wallet break into a nervous sweat. It’s not the newest kid on the block, but it’s definitely part of the fresh wave of “treat yourself” spots popping up in the area.

The flavor selection? Impressive. The gelato itself? Not bad at all. In fact, some scoops are quite good. But let’s be real—if you’ve had gelato in Florence or Rome, this won’t exactly make you weep with nostalgia. It’s more “souvenir spoon” than “sacred Italian experience.” Tasty, sure, but not candle-holding worthy.

That said, the banana bread pudding flavor deserves a round of applause. It channels the warm, gooey glory of Magnolia Bakery’s iconic dessert and almost justifies the trip on its own. It’s rich, comforting, and dangerously easy to inhale.

But here’s where things get sticky: the tipping prompt. A $1 or $2 suggested tip… for scooping a single scoop of gelato? Unless that scoop comes with a eucalyptus-steamed towel and a brief guided meditation, we might need to rethink the service-to-tip ratio. It’s gelato, not a five-course tasting menu.

In short, Honeysuckle Gelato is a solid stop for a sweet treat and some light indulgence, just don’t expect the Roman holiday of your dreams. And maybe bring your...

I wanted to leave this review because there were bad/mixed reviews that almost prevented me from trying this place. As someone who is Dairy Free, Gluten free, eating out in general is a challenge let alone trying to find a suitable ice cream. I was shocked that this place had options for me. The peanut butter vegan gelato was ridiculously good, rich, and creamy. I don’t know what they make it with but I’m already anticipating craving it in the future. We went on a weeknight around 8:40 and only had a short wait and although there was only one person working she was very friendly and did not rush us at all. They limit you to 2 samples but I’m not sure if that is only really enforced when it is busy, either way we only tried 2 samples. The pricing is also reasonable relative to other ice cream shops like Fresh, Andia’s, and Mama birds. Is it the same as real Gelato in Italy? No. Is it good? Yes, and I based my...
