Boza Creamery — Restaurant in Fairfield

This is what gelato is supposed to be — rich, real, unforgettable

Boza Creamery completely restored our faith in what real gelato should taste like. We actually arrived an hour before opening, but the owner — who was sitting outside with another person — greeted us with a big smile and invited us in anyway. He asked where we were from and spoke passionately about crafting his flavors fresh every day, using real ingredients. You could tell he genuinely cares about the experience.

He offered us a sample of a dragon fruit flavor he was experimenting with — it was light, clean, and bursting with natural fruit flavor. No artificial aftertaste, just smooth, refreshing perfection.

We ended up ordering the pistachio baklava, and it was hands-down one of the best gelatos we’ve ever had. The pistachio was rich, nutty, and full-bodied — not that artificial green stuff you get in most places. The baklava pieces added just the right amount of texture and sweetness, without overpowering the balance. It was creamy without being too heavy, and every bite made you want to slow down and savor it.

There was also plenty of parking, and we got to sit outside to enjoy our treat in peace. We never felt rushed — just welcomed and appreciated.

We were so caught up in the moment, we forgot to ask his name — but his kindness and passion won’t be forgotten. This place is a gem. If you're looking for authentic, thoughtfully made gelato, this is it.

*Update:

We went back to Bosa Gelato last night and loved the experience even more. The place was very active and spotless, even during the final hour before closing. We shared a cone with strawberry and mint chocolate -- both flavors were delicious! The mint had a refreshing cooling effect without any lingering aftertaste, and the strawberry was perfectly sweet without being overpowering. The two young ladies working were super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. It was lovely to see the shop so...

This was our first time at Boza Creamery and the whole experience was off. The store still felt like it was being set up (tons of unused freezer equipment and half packed boxes). There was only one employee, who we believe to be the owners daughter. We needed to repeat our orders multiple times while being asked “is this okay?” on the size of ice cream servings (we were unsure, we’d never been here before). After texting and making a call on her phone (albeit to the store owner), she continued to serve us with the same gloves. When the owner arrived, he let us know it was all homemade ice cream, which may explain the high prices. He also let us know that he’ll be getting “more help next week,” a surprising sentiment considering that there have been Google reviews left in previous months. The milkshake was runny, the scoops were small (not even filling up the cup, which we paid $7 for), and the order was not even correct. It boggles the mind how poorly our individual experience played out, but apparently that is not usually the case judging from previous reviews. I hope this small business can turn it around because this is no way to...

This was a hidden gem a friend took me to try out and man was I surprised. First let me start by saying the owner Amer was super hospitable and took the time going over all his ice cream flavors and burgers -- that's right he even sells burgers (not officially but coming soon!) Amer is piloting his unique burgers and it came out great -- I'm a big fan of juicy burgers and his custom Chipotle sauce was perfect pairing. After we finished the burgers we moved onto the ice cream -- and holy cow I'm not kidding friggin delicious. My favorite was the Pistachio Baklava -- I've never had this in ice cream form and it's exactly what Baklava would taste like if it was an ice cream. Then I moved into the cookies and cream and finally the sweet cream ice cream. It was so good forgot to take pictures -- won't forget next time.

Amer is a one man show so sometimes the flavors are limited depending on the day but honestly you can't go wrong with what he has on hand. We're 100% going back to try the Nutella and coffee ice cream soon (and take...
