Holy Gelato! — Restaurant in San Francisco

Tthe ambience of Holy Gelato! is pretty unique. It's a really small shop that sells primarily gelato; however, they also have gelato drinks, rice pudding, cookies, gelato sandwich. They even sell vegan gelato, which is pretty neat! There are a few tables and chairs, but the shop is so crammed with odds and ends that it's hard to navigate through when there are quite a few customers. I would say the idea of going on a date here is ideal, but if you come during a busy time, you're going to have to find a place to sit and chat elsewhere.

There's definitely a number of interesting flavors here, especially in their vegan case. But, either we were limited to a number of flavors we could try or the lady helping us looked annoyed that we wanted to try more than 1 flavor, so we weren't able to try the more appealing and unique flavors.

Pricewise, I feel that the gelato here does run on the slightly more expensive side - but perhaps it's because the storefront is located in SF. A mini with 1-2 flavors is $3.35, a small with 1-2 is $4.25, a medium with 1-4 is $4.99, etc. We were already so full, so we decided to split a small gelato.

Strawberry: It did taste very fresh and smooth. I wouldn't say it's the most amazing gelato/ice cream I've ever had, but I can definitely appreciate the quality of the gelato. There were real strawberries packed throughout the cup, which was really nice.

Mint chocolate chip: I thought this was just okay. The flavor could have been a bit heavier, but nonetheless it was decent and refreshing. They did pack more strawberry in the cup than mint chocolate chip, and having the two flavors mix together wasn't the best combination.

tl;dr - I guess SF is so impacted by popular ice cream places, that people sometimes overlook these smaller and more local shops. I personally don't know if I would return, just because I felt the service was not that great, prices were quite high, and .. there are so many other popular places that me, being a tourist, can visit - but I do see the quality that Holy Gelato! has to offer, especially in terms of their vegan gelato flavors. But for me, it was just a 3...

i like em so much as a lactose intolerant. they will always have something that fits my fruit-taste preference.

i sometimes forget that holy gelato exists because sf hometown creamery is just a showstealer on the busiest part of 9th. they're both local businesses so gelato also deserves more love too.

but one thing i like so much more about holy gelato compared to hometown creamery is the options. there's just so much MORE options at gelato for people who like different things while hometown is though seasonal, super limited to a very specific flavor profile.

i also believe that gelato is cheaper than hometown so that's another huge plus since you're getting more for your buck.

the service was good at gelato and were fast to help me out and get me recommendations.

now. you see, i love fruit. i do. and i specifically like strawberry the most. so the strawberry sorbet is literally the best creation to me and i'm so blessed that they had it. and it tastes sooo good yall. so good. i just got two scoops since the most of the other fruit gelato were tart while the strawberry was blissfully sweet.

since the strawberry sorbet has my heart and soul and gelato is back on my radar, i'll definitely...

I just visited this store. And I was very offended. It was because of the black-haired attitude of the female staff. I ordered three kinds of coffee, but she took these over 20 minutes to make it. And even this tastes so sweet. How can Latte be sweet? Only milk+ espresso. And the image of Ube latte in Google's image is totally different. And tast like just caramel latte. In addition, the size of the Americano is the same, but unlike latte, it's extremely small. Even that staff didn't announce it in advance. When I received the three drinks, I was very confused and felt bad. Don't go. It's a waste of money and time. I really seldom leave bad comment for the store. However, I don’t want anyone experience this kind of...
