This small and cute gelato shop is run by a lovely couple. They have a few of vegan options as well as dairy ones. I had the hazelnut flavor with their gluten and dairy free cone. The gelato was not too sweet which I liked and the cone was super crunchyy.

Gelato here reminds me of Italy: the size of scoops is perfect, gluten free waffles and the amount of flavors you could barely imagine. Parking could be a hustle on weekends - that's a busy street. But the quality of gelato definitely worth it, I highly recommend! They also have a nice loyalty points program - once in a while I am getting my gelato for free.

Great location on the main drag. Ice Cream is delish with vegan and gluten free options! Staff are always happy and very helpful. The room can be s bit noisy, but depends on when you visit. There were a number of Flys on the front window when we visited, but did not bother us.

I've been coming for years. My favorite place to get a sandwich! And gelato, of course. A few gluten free pastries baked daily, great tea selection, and good coffee. Not easy for large groups but great for small get togethers. Order ahead on their site or by phone. Really friendly staff ever time.

So happy they spoke out about the injustices/murders of Black Lives and they have some delicious maple syrup sugar ice cream that's vegan and gluten free! It is pricey though but they give 15% military veteran discount as well on soft serve which is wonderful. Please get some vegan gluten free pies!

Amazing staff who are all very knowledgeable about food allergies. Great flavor selections and seasonal flavors tend to have at least one vegan and one gluten free option!

We visited from AZ and were in need of a sweet treat but one that had both vegan and gluten free options when we found this place! Their vegan ice cream is delicious and their gluten free cookie dough is wonderful. We might keep this place as our go to ice cream place next time we’re in Temecula!

I had the Brown Sugar Madagascar Vanilla on a gluten free waffle cone and it was so good! One scoop would've been more than enough though, instead of two. I really appreciated how the staff was very helpful and patient in answering my questions about what the gf waffle cone was made out of since I have additional dietary restrictions.
