This is a small, cozy dessert shop with soft couches, a record player, and records in the corner. The staff was friendly and helpful, answering any questions we had. I ordered a two-scoop sorbet, which was an okay size for the price. The watermelon and cherry sorbet flavors were refreshing.

They say eating certain amounts of chocolate equate to the feeling of love. I say it's Gelato, lol. I say that now that I've stopped by this place. I was full when I came in with friends after a big lunch. Just looking for a hot chocolate. My friends had various flavors of gelato, and I got curious. The lady over the counter was kind enough to give me samples. Wow, the taste buds exploded. I had the Peach and Strawberry. Again, I was full and had both and the hot chocolate. I definitely recommend it. Mostly a to go place unless you're up for a sidewalk outside seating. ..but the cute old celebrity photos inside give it a nice ambiance.

This is one of my favorite spots to study/ hang out. From the food to the coziness and the hospitality. A lot of the food is imported from Italy, the coffee and pastries. The gelato is made in house with ingredients imported from Italy. The cookie butter is so good! I got a cannoli which was the perfect amount of sweetness with the nice texture of the crispy shell and light cream. The avocado toast is light and tasty, comes in a full (2 toasts) or a half pictured here. The coffee is delicious, foamy, and strong. The mocha latte was yummy with fresh chocolate making it velvety and smooth. Lastly, the staff is very hospital, you pay after and there is table service. Rose, the owner of the cafe is a beautiful sweet person, it shows in the vibe of the spot. Highly recommend!

The service here is amazing. The shop itself is decorated so well. And the food and drinks here are equally great. This is a great little spot when you're walking around Brooklyn to stop and take a minute to relax. I wish I would've gotten the gelato but I had just eaten and really wasn't feeling gelato yet. I ended up just getting a lemonade and a chocolate croissant to have as a quick dessert. The croissant was made perfectly and it was soft and flaky. The lemonade tasted freshly squeezed, homemade. Did I stop in here because of the name of the shop and the equally as good Hollywood movie about Serendipity? Maybe. But did I love this little spot and go back later for gelato after my meeting? That will be a mystery only I and the staff know.

The service is AMAZING!!! We called because the shop was about to close and she graciously stayed open past hours for us. She detailed how all the gelato is made in the store with the freshest ingredients and i definitely tasted it. The pistachio and saffron flavors together are the move!!! All the other flavors tried were amazing too, but I super recommend those, especially since pistachios and saffron are expensive ingredients! The decor is really cool inside too with some spots to sit and an outdoor seating area. Great ambiance! Cant recommend it enough and I'll be back very soon.
