Cold Spoons Gelato

A lovely little gem in the Washington Heights area, despite the coldness of gelato, every time I see that Cold Spoons is still open, it warms my heart!While not much to look at, and certainly not a place that anyone would consider "fancy," they are fancy where it counts: in the service and the quality of the food. Over the years, no matter who is on staff, they are always friendly and patient, even when I'm a bit more indecisive, or ask for a shake (if you can get a shake, always get a shake) which is more time-consuming.The last time we were there we totally hung out until a minute before closing and never did the person working glare at us or start sweeping our shoes with the broom, we got the hint all on our own!

Chocolate Thai Chili that's right is the Flavor town favorite . I love it. I love the classic cold Choco sweetness and then the heat gets you on the back end. What a sensation.

I've been going to Cold Spoons Gelato since a was a small toddler. I've grown up on several of their flavors, (my go-to from the age of 4 to present day being smurfberry & raspberry). It seems that they have nailed down the flavors and texture of both non-dairy gelato & dairy gelato. Their workers are always really sweet, and they never seem crowded.

I've worked near Cold Spoons Gelato for more than four years, but didn't know about them for the first couple years and never think to stop now that I am aware of them. It wasn't until I recently had to go a different way home from a Bucks game due to a highway closure that I passed Cold Spoons while they were open and I was in the mood for something sweet. My son got a waffle cone of chocolate gelato and I got a waffle cone of peanut butter and jelly gelato.My son enjoyed his, but honestly, I don't know if he's ever had ice cream or gelato that didn't like, so take that for what it's worth. I could mildly taste the peanut butter, but there wasn't any jelly rippled in the gelato and the employee didn't scoop from the top of the container where the jelly primarily was. I didn't dislike it, rather, I was disappointed cause I felt it had potential and didn't live up to it. I tried a sample of the watermelon gelato before going with the PB&J and I wish I had just gone watermelon. It wasn't super strong tasting either, but moreso than the peanut butter.I'd be willing to stop again cause there are a couple of other flavors that piqued my interest, but I won't be rushing back.

Very quiet shop! A bit rundown but the gelato & sorbet is amazing. I got the lemon & it was excellent! The girl working the front was so sweet.

Cold Spoons Gelato is a lovely little neighborhood gelato joint nestled in the heart of Washington Heights.Walked here on a hot summer's eve for a little cool down. Pro-tip: Their Tuesday special includes a free size up (ie: large for the price of a medium).I went on a Tuesday.Yahtzee.Their large allows for three different flavors. I went for two: Their chocolate peanut butter and their chocolate hazelnut.If you know me, you know one of my favorite flavor combinations is that of chocolate and peanut butter. Truly. I'm pretty sure I could live on this flavor combo in it's various forms. But, I digress.Here, however, I found my self digging the chocolate hazelnut a bit more. It was far more nutty. The chocolate peanut butter tasted like mostly chocolate (not saying that is necessarily a bad thing...chocolate is, in my estimation, always a very good thing).There's table seating indoors as well as bench seating out front. The service was quick and very friendly. What are you waiting for? It's hot as heck...Get to it!

My experience here was one of discontent. Sadly, the quality of the product was subpar. The milk tasted spoiled in both the Pumpkin and the Sea Salt flavors. There are few worse tastes that milk gone off. Was this from the milk not being fresh in the first place during the production? The owner said she made it fresh on Tuesday and it was Thursday when I sampled it. Or was it because it had been left out too long? The main point is that my first impression of Cold Spoons was one that left me angry and there is little one can do to make up for a bad first impression. On the plus side the young woman working there was very kind. I lived in Italy for four years and have had some religious quality gelato. This is not it. Not even close. I hope you can learn from this.

After seeing the occasional check ins I finally got over to check them out on a warm summer day. The place is like a hipster kind of ice creme shop was the vibe I was getting from the decor.The place has more room than seating which was weird because the center of the room was open. The young lady who helped me was super nice and did a great job. There is 24 pans with various flavors which made it hard to pick but the mixed berry sounded good.If your used to the MDs 49 cent cone than you will shocked at what $3.66 got me on my visit. I was served a tiny plastic cup that was not even filled to the edges of the tiny cup and maybe an inch over the rim WTF, this is absolutely the smallest most expensive ice creme that I have ever been served and I felt completely ripped off. I went to look at the pictures on yelp and sure enough every cup I saw was way bigger than what I was served so maybe this was a fluke but it was there one chance for my first impression and it was not good because I expected better with all the good reviews.Honestly the mixed berry was pretty good but I was left not feeling satisfied due to its small size and I would rather have had the MDs cone because my cold tread would have lasted longer on this hot summer day.I probably will not return for a second chance when there are other cold treat options in Milwaukee where I know I will get a fair value for my money.

Sweet n smooth! This adorable hole in the wall shoppe, was the perfect stop. With nearly 20 choices of silky smoothe gellatto we enjoyed mixed berry, unicorn magic, goat cheese caramel and blueberry cheese cake! Each separately worth the stop! Friendly service from Marissa!... no samples due to covid, but not to worry you can sample with your eyes!

Good selection of flavors of gelato and sorbet. The worker was super nice and they let us in even though they were closing soon. Offers outdoor seating as well. 10/10 would go again and recommend to everybody!
