10/10 hands down the best gelato I’ve ever had!!! I don’t know if they have awards, but they should. It’s sooooo good. Like soooooo good. If you’re in Escondido and you aren’t eating this, what are you doing?!

And it was $10 for 2 people. Crazy. Crazy good.

A little gem of a shop! Excellently pulled espresso, a perfect croissant and amazing gelato flavors. Loved the pint of blueberry goat cheese I took home with me.

Thanks to the staff for an incredibly pleasant sojourn on a sunny Escondido afternoon!!

I've been coming to this location once in a while ever since it was Blue Mug Coffee & Tea (2002). Among locals, it's a very popular place, with great memories of making new friends, having casual business meetings, going for coffee after downtown events, catching up on the latest community chat or just relaxing with the newspaper and/or a loved one on the weekend. With its wide-open entrance, it's fun watching the world go by on the sidewalk or side street. Years ago, I used to grab coffee there on the way to work. More recently, I’ve had lunch a few times. On my first occasion back in years, I had a little time to relax on the tree-shaded patio before my tomato bisque and mediterranean salad arrived. Slowing down really made me savor the food. That's so important for being able to experience the individual aspects of a meal and what went into the preparation. The texture and subtle herbal flavors of the soup were divine. The artisanal bread was crunchy and delicious. The salad dressing was so fresh and tangy. When I expressed my appreciation, my server told me the details of how they made the meal. I was so impressed. She was clearly someone who loves food, ingredients and the work. That's so important for any establishment. It shows in the final product. The staff were all very hard at work. For patrons, the nice aspect of slowing down is getting to chat with each other on the patio. So, the name of this place may have changed but the vibe remains. Continuity is comforting. The gelato is fabulous. So is their Cali Caprese. Shoppers might also consider this place for quality gifts, e.g. wine, jewelry and goats' milk lotion. It’s great to stroll around town afterwards to check out the murals, stores, farmers’ market, library, etc.

Just had the BEST sandwich, made by Rosie. Over the top service, kindness and a great pumpkin cake! So great for EscoGelato - but a special shout out to your best employee! Thank you all for hiring her

I love this place. All my favorites in one spot. Quality espresso, fantastic gelato, amazing tomato soup and salads! The best part is the courteous and professional staff. We go often and even on the busiest days everyone goes the extra mile, even the new hires. Consistency is key. The most important element is hygiene - it’s always clean and staff wear gloves! No hairs in my food ever! Kudos!

Cute ice cream spot that offers special flavors such as apricot goat cheese, brown sugar walnut…etc. you can pick up to 2flavors for small cup, and 3 for large cup. They have one indoor seating and several outdoor seating.

Support local business! This small gelato and sorbet shop is a gem! Service with a smile! Generous portions! There are a few tables inside and outside to sit and enjoy.

Street parking only.

I will definitely come back here next time I'm in Escondido
