Berry Ocean has a wide variety of gelato (Italian ice cream made from milk, sugar, air and fresh ingredients), smoothies, shakes, teas and coffee. The interior is modern, sleek and bright. There are fun couches, chairs and tables that give the place a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a wonderful frozen treat.

I was looking forward to this trip, because I am a big dessert fan. There is a glass case with countless types of smooth gelato to choose from, such as White Chocolate, Tirimisu, or Pistachio. I have to admit that I couldn’t make a decision and had to ask for help and was allowed to taste before choosing. I had the Nociolla (Hazelnut) on this visit. The flavor was rich, airy, the consistency was smooth, a mix between pudding and ice cream.

Also catching my eye were the fruit flavored gelato’s which are a lot like sherbert but with a smother less icy texture.

Berry Ocean Gelato and Espresso would be a great choice for a casual get together with friends, or just for a sweet fix after a long day at work.

I was impressed by the variety of flavors, which all looked delicious. The espresso and white chocolate are my favorites.

Take a look at their menu and their website, because there are a lot of choices - from coffee and tea to a gelato classic Sundae. The atmosphere is clean and inviting and the service is outstanding. I was not disappointed with my visit, and I seriously doubt that you will be either.
