| - Desyree has a very loyal following in the Las Vegas Valley. And for good reason too, she does gelato better than anyone else and her excellence shows in the details. My first experience here was not the best - Desyree was not present and the man serving me touched the gelato with his finger while scooping (but I still had a sample of it lol). There were also a ton of people behind the counter (more so than customers waiting to be served). I had avoided the place for awhile until the newness kinks were worked out, but of course I was drooling as so many Yelpers posted their photos of their delicious treats and then I started following them on IG. I would frequently ask my husband every weeknight when the halo halo was available if we could go, but he'd say things like "Do you really need it?" and I'd say no, and open up my ice cream in the fridge. Thankfully, my friend was visiting from out of town and I had a legitimate excuse to go here again! She was intrigued by the pear & gorgonzola based on what I had shared with her, and she ended up getting The Gelatology Coppe that features it. She loved it and I also thought the savory flavors were intriguing when I sampled hers. I opted for the long craved for halo halo (thankfully it was in stock) and loved it! I've been complaining that a lot of Vegas places do not have beans in their halo halo, and although you cannot see it, the ube and sweet been flavors come through very well. I was also fortunate to try the li hing pineapple gelato (first time they were serving it). There was just a small portion left by the end of the night and I felt so lucky to be able to have it! Now I'm craving the li hing flavor for my sour candies. My husband, who is not a big gelato fan, ended up having some of mine and nodding his head in approval as he enjoyed the halo halo. Desyree was there this time to take care of us and I thought the experience went so much smoother. They have gelato pies available for this upcoming holiday season, so be sure to reserve one if you want to wow at those office potlucks.
