I love Sweet Home Gelato I never really ate gelato till I moved to close to this location & I'm so glad I came across it! Ugh, the flavors are so good! They have dairy & non dairy flavors, I stick to the non dairy. I absolutely LOVE the raspberry it's bomb it tastes hella fresh, too. They have a grapefruit that comes out every couple months or so & I really like that too. Once I start eating, it's hard to stop They also have a cute outdoor alley with tables & chairs to sit & enjoy.

Excellent flavors, service, location and cleanliness! The gelato was very smooth and flavorful! We tried the salted caramel and the raspberry, both were delicious. There was a line to the door! There was a group of people sampling a bunch of flavors, which bogged the line down. I’d recommend either limiting samples to 2-3 or having a worker go around the line asking if they want to sample anything. It was also a little hard to read the flavors when in line, so reading those could make things a little more efficient. Great spot! Definitely recommend!

Excellent gelato. We received a friendly greeting as soon as we walked in, and we were offered a chance to taste a few samples. The gelato tastes wonderful! Such a delightful treat after our dinner down the street. We will return in the future!

Tried Sweet Home Gelato first time. Staff was friendly and let us sample as many flavors as it was hard to decide being first time. Bought Pineapple, Oreo, Birthday Cake, Pistachio. Not much sweet and perfect to enjoy your dessert. Ambiance is beautiful as well.

Tried a sample at Woodman's in Volo on Saturday 12/21. I'm not a huge ice cream lover, but I really liked the sample of the Mint chocolate gelato. I decided to purchase a pint of the gelato. Within less than twenty four hours, I have consumed the entire pint! Very tasty!!!
