Bottega Gelato in Washington

"The best ice cream I have ever eaten. I ordered peach and pistachios. The peach one is made with real peach, you can see the peach skin. The pistachio flavor is very oily, and you can feel that a lot of pistachios are added. I also like the waffle cone, crispy and crunchy."

"I visited Bottega Gelato while walking around Pike Place. The shop is really small and a bit crowded, but it has a cute vibe. The staff were friendly and let me try a couple flavors before choosing, which I appreciated. I ended up getting the pistachio and chocolate. The texture was smooth and creamy, but the flavor didn’t blow me away. The pistachio was decent, but not as rich as I expected. The chocolate was good, but a bit too sweet for my taste. Prices are on the higher side — I paid about $7.50 for two small scoops. For the price, I was hoping for something a little more special. It’s not bad gelato, just not memorable."

"friendly employees, good gelato. paid $9.37 (including taxes) for medium box with two scoops. worth the price. got more chocolate souce later, it was tasty. i loved pistachio."

"Cozy place with great gelato and coffee. They serve “illy” coffee, which is Italian coffee. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Great place for people watching tourists and locals stroll by."

"Best of ALL WORLDS !!! Amazing coffee / Incredible service & gelato was outstanding ! What a treat ! Callie and Susan are the best representatives of this company - I hope the owner treasures them."

"From the moment I walked in, they greeted me with a genuine smile, offered samples, and were patient while I decided on flavors. They clearly take pride in what they do, answered questions about flavors and ingredients, and made great recommendations that did not disappoint. Thank you Susan and Callie"

"What if I told you the best Afogato in Seattle is also the best hot chocolate that's custom made. Saki at Bottega made us the custom Hot chocolate Afogato with cherry ice cream. It's a must try and kudos to Saki"

"- lemon basil gelato! - Several years ago, my mom got a pear gelato here since I had a groupon when she came to visit me. She has been talking about the gelato for years. My mom usually doesn't get to eat gelato, but she's not easy to please either. We stopped by here last week, and I was surprised to find many people in line. There wasn't much business back then, but the business is definitely good now with all the tourists visiting them. I've tried the flavors of mango, raspberry, pear, pineapple, and lemon basil. To my surprise, the pear tasted relatively artificial compared to other flavors. I picked lemon basil and pineapple for my two scoops instead. The lemon basil was unique; I enjoyed it way more than the pineapple flavor. I even tried to create something similar at home with basil, lemon, condensed milk, milk, and ice. I didn't have heavy cream at home, so I just did what I could. I rarely get any dessert with lemon or lime since it takes a TON of sugar to make them sweet, but this is one exception. The price here wasn't that good, and it's pretty much tourist price ($7.5 for 2 small scoops).. But if you are a tourist, I think that makes sense lol. I'll come back to try other flavors!"
