| - You certainly can't fault the place for its location, or the sweet back patio they have to work with which is pretty nice. This is in the spot that used to be Harmony Lounge back a year or two ago. After the lounge closed, it sat under construction for a good long while. So long in fact I assumed the people that bought the place had given up, but eventually this place did finally open up. Fast forward a few months later, when on a lovely summer evening after a great meal across the street we decided to get some dessert.
The first red flag was the cashier. When trying to give him the change after originally just handing him a $20 bill, apparently the math was too hard to calculate after punching in the bill and he looked at me like I was asking his mother on a date, and made a comment I couldn`t quite catch wind of to the scooping guy down the counter from him. Not exactly a good impression for customer service.
Flavour selection wasn`t bad, but the gelato was mediocre and no better than any other place I`ve tried on College Street.
Lastly, something that weirded me out was how they had a seperate area for the plastic spoons to go to be recycled. Technically, shouldn't the bowl be recyclable anyways? Why do they have a seperate area to recycle the spoons? Do they literally wash and re-use the spoons in the place? Why segregate the two areas?
Overall, while the gelato is maybe a 3, the attitude of the server, the sketchy spoon thing, and the fact that there are better places within a block of walking, I'm going with a 2 on the Yelp scale as "Meh, I've had better" is exactly how I feel about this place.
