One of my fav gelato places in ATX! Their selection is fantastic as is the quality of their gelato! LOVE the coffee gelato and the fruit flavored selections! I always get a double scoop combo whenever I go on their cash only discount days, which is such a steal! You actually get a lot of gelato for the price, I always get the smallest size and it is more than enough to placate my craving. I can never remember his name, but the Italian barista here is the absolute nicest guy ever and he is quite entertaining (and I am not gonna lie, the accento italiano just does it for me!). My only complaint about this place is they are supposedly an espresso bar as well, but each time I have espresso here it is so hit or miss and more often than not, it is sadly a miss. So with that said, if you stick to the amazing gelato, you wont be disappointed! They will also let you sample to your hearts content, which will give you an idea of how awesome every flavor here is! I have also had them cater a few events and they do an excellent job! #12DaysofChristmasATX

We moved from SF about two years ago and luckily stumbled into this place because our kids wanted some gelato. I can honestly tell you that the gelato was fantastic and on par with Copa Loca in the Mission District in SF (which is run by a classically-trained Italian chef). And, to our suprise, Teos coffee is at the level of SFs famous Blue Bottle and Philz - carefully made, rich and strong. The crowed is a nice mix of professionals, entrepreneurs, families, etc. - a solid representation of people in the area. Sit on Teos patio and enjoy the day, the free WiFi, a traditional cappuccino and a scoop of Mexican vanilla gelato. We are happy to have Teos in the hood.

In searching for a new ice cream spot, I came across Teo Gelato. The staff is super friendly and will let you try as many flavors as youd like. I ended up getting coconut nutella and peanut butter nutella (Nuts) which were to die for!! Parking was easy and there were plenty of spots to sit. I would agree with a few of the other reviewers in that none of the prices up on the menu board are listed which is a little odd. Customers would really appreciate having the prices posted on menus. This might not be the newest or trendiest places, but it was cute, convenient and most importantly tasty!

They give you "unlimited" samples ^^ The staff is very patient when doing so. Been here plenty of times so Ive stopped getting samples but I love gelato. My favorite flavor is goat cheese and cherry. Each staff has their own favorite flavor and combinations. Feel free to ask them or make your own Craving Coffee but also want gelato? Get their Affogato and get the best of both worlds. Ive tried a few gelato places in town and Teo is hands down my favorite. Oh and theres a fireplace outside that they turn on sometimes. Not sure when but its a cool atmosphere especially during the winter times

Came here while downtown and looking for a refreshing stop in the Texas winter. The cafe is super adorable. There is great parking in front and there is indoor and outdoor space to enjoy the most delicious gelato! They have so many options of gelato and everything is delicious! Its so good they pack it and you can buy some to take home!. You cannot pass it up. Its so good! I loved all the flavors. I got the captain crunch and it was fantastic! I will definitely be making this place a regular stop and I would/will recommend this to anyone and everyone!

Came here on a Wednesday evening for some dessert. After trying many of the flavors, there was a couple to choose from. Ultimately, I settled with the Captain Crunch and Vanilla Bean gelato with a waffle cone. The Captain Crunch was the most unique that caught me off guard, it actually tasted like the cereal! It was pretty satisfying to have it in gelato form. The vanilla bean is your typical sweet vanilla flavor, that was good as well. Overall I was satisfied with my visit here.

Teo is gelato heaven. I love their Salted Caramel flavor. Supposedly their Honey flavored gelato is to die for, but whenever I go they never have it. Where is the Honey?! Never crowded, Teo is a great place for coffee and work, without the people watching distractions. The inside is small and quiet with plenty of outlets. Every year they have a Thanksgiving Hand Turkey contest. I was so obsessed with making my turkey just to compete for a gift card for their gelato…no shame.

Greatest gelato in town. I have tried other places but this place has the most americanized flavored like captain crunch and mint chocolate. Other places have exotic flavors which dont sound as appetizing. I love the mi amore flavor which is mixed with peanut butter and Nutella! The workers were less than enthusiastic that it was our first time there and I felt nervous about asking to try the different flavors. Will go again but hoping to encounter some happier employees!

I found this little gem of a coffee shop because my wife had to get her hair done in that shopping center, and man I am glad she did! I walked in, and right away the guy behind the counter was very inviting. The gelato is simply awesome, but the coffee...HOLY SMOKES the coffee is INCREDIBLE!!!!!! There arent enough positive adjectives to describe Teo and their coffee. We live in Round Rock, and I go down to Teo weekly noe, its that good.

We tried Teo on a whim, and it was a flawless experience. A cute atmosphere with lots of outdoor seating as well, Teo is very welcoming. The food is also absolutely delicious. Between my date and me, we had a panini, a mocha, and a small gelato, and both were perfect. Maybe a teensy bit pricier than elsewhere- we payed around $15 for our order. That said, would still absolutely recommend- it was worth the few dollars extra between us. 5/5

What Teo lacks in charm, it makes up for in taste. While I prefer a more rustic, lived-in feel to my cafes, Teos excellent assortment of handcrafted gelato and carefully brewed Italian coffee, balance the equation quite well. While its not my preferred atmosphere, I cant deny a certain pleasure derived from sipping my cappuccino on the patio while enjoying a salted caramel gelato.

We stopped by Teos today for a snack, and were charged $5.89 for one scoop of gelato on a cone. We ordered a two-scoop cone and watched the server put only one (quite small) scoop on the cone. When we pointed out his error, he insisted that we were wrong and that we owed him for two scoops. Teo just lost a couple of faithful customers, thats for sure!

Teo is a gem in Austin. Fun atmosphere with friendly employees who let you taste as many flavors as you want. Our family each got what we wanted and that includes a person who cant eat any dairy. The sorbettos are good in smoothies and the gelato is also great for milkshakes. Breakfast tacos go fast so get in there for a taco and soy latte!

This place is great! They make amazing Gelato. Their hazelnut is a personal favorite of mine, and they have the best chocolate of any form of ice cream Ive had. Pro tip: you can get a pint of their most popular flavors at many H-E-Bs around town for about $5, but if you bring in the container, youll get a free small gelato. Its great!
