Serendipity bk — Restaurant in New York

I barely have words to describe how truly magical an experience we had here. Starting with the basics, the gelato and espresso themselves were absolutely phenomenal. I had the saffron gelato AND an affogato with chocolate gelato and both were absolutely incredible. Also tried the tiramisu affogato and that was fantastic, as well. The gelato is made there and many of her other treats (and her espresso beans, I believe) are important from Italy. Aside from the quality of the treats themselves, our experience there was simple magical. Sarah (the owner) has some crazy magic going on. Don’t even try not to fall in love with her instantly because you will fail. Her vibe is top notch and reminds you of the incredible energetic people can infuse into a space such that it makes you feel like you’re stepping through some kind of portal. Hard to describe until you go yourself but I truly can’t recommend this place...

The lady behind the counter, Rose, was genuinely the nicest person I’ve ever met. She only opened the store recently (within the last year). She said we could have as many samples as we wanted, and even encouraged us to try all the flavors when we didn’t want to ask for more. She said that the gelato was all naturally flavored and she made them all by hand!

I got the pistachio and coconut, but also tried the saffron, and tiramisu. All the flavors tasted unique (in a good way!) and each serving came with a waffle cookie and a edible flower. The coconut had chunks of coconut flavored cookies in it, which was amazing. I highly recommend getting the pistachio and coconut together.

We finished our ice cream while talking to Rose the whole time. She’s very easy to make conversation with and it was so hard to leave, as I had such a nice time speaking with her. Would give this place 6 stars...

Prepare to be blown away! I was lucky enough to stumble into this place after getting pizza around the corner. The owner was such a delight to meet as well. Very knowledgeable, and extremely passionate about the gelato that she handcrafts from scratch. This gelato is even better than some places I've eaten in Italy! The owner's training by expert gelato makers and the use of an authentic Italian gelato machine guarantee an unrivaled experience. They even import their ingredients from Italy as well! The texture? Creamy and dreamy. The flavors? Absolutely perfect, with a delightful balance of sweetness and real, high-quality ingredients. This hidden gem won't stay hidden for long, so hurry in before it explodes on TikTok and the lines snake...
