The Gordillo's Melting Rolls — Restaurant in Fort Myers

Gordillo’s Melting Rolls is Ft Myers Ice Spot with different flavors and not enough toppings. Now, there is nothing wrong with this. After having a Camping Night and the Ferrara Obsession, we can agree that both the consistency and the flavors of these melting rolls are delicious and not nutritious by any means haha. Everything about this ice cream was delectable, sweet, and flavorful. The workers no doubt know what they are doing and each roll comes out beautifully. For my Camping Night roll, I had one beautifully toasted marshmallow that was medium in size, two sticks of graham crackers that reminded me of inexpensive and slightly soft biscotti. The chocolate drizzle and whip cream were nice touches too. What confused me was them asking me if I wanted whip cream. I will always say yes to that! It’s needed and definitely not an option.

Onto the Ferrara Obsession. Now, I never had the ice cream until today, only the little chocolates and when they stuck one in there, my heart sank a little bit. Just one. Not two, not 3. I think the obsession part was curbed a bit but I only had one bite so I can’t actually tell you if one of the chocolates was enough or not, I can tell you it wasn’t as visually appealing.

Now, as much as this may sound bad, it’s not. I did really like this place. For $8-$10 for one cup of rolled ice cream though, I expected more. As an American, I do realize that my country piles things on that are needless and that’s why most of us are fat haha.

But now that you read that review, here is why your really here....

I’d give it 4.5 stars if it was only based on the food. However, the staff service, the cleanliness, organization and beauty of this place helps to compensate.

Let’s start with the good:

We got a Ferrero Obsession ($8.75) roll cup (1-2 servings) and that tasted exactly like a Ferrero Rocher.

The mini sweet croissant with Nutella was also very good, even if I ate it at night and had been sitting there for a good part of the day. Would try the other fillings.

The Tequeños, if you know how authentic ones taste, are okay. I would have liked them more if that had a cilantro sauce, which they don’t. They only provide sweet side sauces (Dulce de Leche, Guava and another). The tequeño is small, costs $1 per each, and is a bit on the dry side.

The Brownie (~$5.75) with ice cream (+$1.99) was a bust. I’m not sure if the brownie was old, but it was really hard even after they heated it. There was only a bit of a moist brownie in the middle that was edible with the ice cream. I wouldn’t order it again.

In all, the place is new, hip and jolly. They have bright lights and bright colors, lots of ice cream options to choose from, and provide additional items such as coffee, hot chocolate, churros, pastelitos, and more.

I’ll come again to bring a friend or family member to try their Rolls and sit inside because of the nice atmosphere.

Great service. Bought 2 ice cream my kid wanted the 2 mango viral ones and wooo $20 with fees, prices are out of control. Not only that charging for service and other fees plus tip almost $24

On to the ice cream is good. The outer shell has a very intense mango taste and the ice cream inside is not sweet similar to Japanese cheesecake just a subtle taste. I know they go for around $10 for a box of 3 at the Asian markets but nobody around here has them. There are more flavors but to be clear these are Chinese not Korean as some may think. Ice cream is simply not worth $10 per at most $5 and that would be a lot.

The ingredients list from the packaging (translated from Chinese) is as follows:

Ingredients: • Drinking water • White sugar • Sweetened condensed milk • Skimmed milk powder • Vegetable oil • Egg yolk • Cocoa butter substitute chocolate products • Food additives (monoglycerides, diglycerides of fatty acids, tartaric acid esters, carrageenan, carob gum, beta-carotene) • Food flavoring

For store owner; I understand rent must be expensive but we are talking about ice cream here. My suggestion adjust pricing if you want people coming back. Besides that store was clean and as I said...
