"Gypsea Gyleto was recommended as a place we try out while on the big island by our Air BNB host. We checked out reviews from Google and Yelp. It came across as a worthy place to try.I/we have tried Gelato from various places around globe. Unfortunately, this review receives a flat three based on the Gelato itself alone. We tried 7 different flavors. All, simply were not near the flavor or the creamy smooth texture in which Gelato is supposed to be. It had more of a freezer burnt ice cream cruncy texture. It just was not what I would expect Gelato to taste like. All flavors were under flavored as well.It saddens me to give such a low review as the majority of my reviews are four star or above. (the majority are five star with recommendations and compliments.)The rest of Gypesea Gelato was great. From the atmosphere, cleanliness and friendly employees. The presentation of the Gelato was great! However the texture and taste just was not right.It really is a nice place to visit. (the vibe etc.)I just cannot get over the fact that the Gelato as a whole simply wasn't made correctly. Hense the three star review. I'd give a 3.5 star, but Google won't allow it.My recommendation would be for the owners to visit Europe to see what it should be. The. other Gelato places outside of the islands to get a good idea of what should taste and feel like in your mouth.Good gelato is not cheap which is expected. However, in this case I would pay HALF the price purely based on the poor quality of the Gelato.I'd be happy to raise my review once the recipe is revised and every Gelato doesn't have that freezer burnt feel and some flavors even taste just cheap.Also get rid of the cheap black couches with card board signs on them with holes in them. (saying they are free for anyone who will take them). It's just tacky. They do not suit the epic, cool, clean, vibe atmosphere"

There is a wide variety of ice cream flavors available, along with an extensive selection of teas. I tasted the Tom Kha, Kona Coffee, and Mauka Trail ice creams, and they were all absolutely delicious! View menu

This place is wonderful. Love their selection of flavors and the owners are the nicest people! A great local business hidden away in South Kona. A recommended stop for gelato lovers. (The dark chocolate caramel macnut is to die for if you want something decadent. And the glazed doughnut is so unique. View menu

Adorable Gelateria and cafe roadside in Kona. A bunch of great local flavours, and something for everyone! They had 10 flavours out when we visited, ranging from classics like chocolate and vanilla, to fruity like toasted coconut and lilikoi, to rich and flavourful like London fog. The afagato was an amazing choice if you’re looking for coffee! The space is clean, has plenty of seating, decor, and is super cozy and charming. No line ups, some folks came in as we were leaving, but a low traffic, chill, space. Strongly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visits to this place! The first time, we stopped on a whim during a late-night drive to see the volcano. They were one of the few establishments still open that served coffee, so we decided to give them a try. Half our group ordered espressos, while the other half opted for gelatos, and we were all thrilled with our choices! We loved it so much that we returned to this specific shop and also tried one of their other locations. Each time, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and the products were delightful! My favorite gelato was the toasted coconut haystack. This location is unique because it also offers other foods and espresso. We enjoyed the espresso so mu...
