Always walked by here wondering why there’s such a long line. Now I know why — the gelato is sooo delicious! I’ve tried pistachio, tiramisu, and speculoos so far, and I can’t wait to try all the flavors!

A cute cafe and gelato place in the heart of Hoboken. Lots of vegan and non-dairy options. They’ve got decent amount of seating indoors and a couple tables outdoor. Parking is a bummer because it’s not always easy to find parking around. The grande size of...Read More

A great vegan gelato place. Went in last minute before they close. The staff was kind enough to answer our questions and I know for a fact they were tired and did not hesitate to give us samples. Would like to come back to try...Read More

The gelato here is super tasty!!! Fresh, creamy and of high-quality. I’ve tried the Pistachio and Hazelnut flavors and both were really rich and delicious. The staff lady with the cool tattoo was very nice too!

What better way than to try out this new Italian family-owned Hoboken ice cream? The ice cream was delicious, the flavors are very Italian (which I love) Will definitely come back to try out the other flavors (I've had the one with the black cherries, which was...Read More

The gelato is delicious - great quality with a decent amount of topping options! If you are in the Hoboken area and craving some gelato or zucchini bread, stop by and enjoy a treat while sitting outdoor.

Good solid friendly place. Gelato is creamy, smooth and delicious. I had cantaloupe and amarena. Only comment is the gelato was a bit sweet (after taste) for me than I had in Italy, but lot better than most places around here. Will visit again

Discovered this spot roaming around Hoboken. After just coming back from a Italy vacation , have been craving gelatos. This place fills that void you carry after anyone who visits Italy. They let you try flavors and give recommendations. Flavor was on point and...Read More

Not bad, but I’ve had better. The service is great though! And they have a lot of flavors to choose from and other non ice cream options.

It's one of the best gelatos I’ve had in Hoboken! Each person can sample two flavors, but since I was with my wife, we were able to try four. We chose dark chocolate and pistachio, and they were both absolutely delicious. The staff was lovely,...Read More

Kikilu is my favorite gelato spot in town! My husband and I like to walk here for a sweet treat. I love their olive oil flavor — it’s rare to find and theirs is delicious! Staff is friendly and love the clean, bright atmosphere.

This place is worth more than five stars and all of the calories. I visited this afternoon with two friends, and it was delicious. Not only was the gelato incredible, but we also had a very nice time chatting with the owner who went into...Read More

Super friendly staff. Loved the flavor recommendations they give. I tried the Doppio Espresso with Captain crunch gelato which is a blueberry, mascarpone and biscoff gelato. They have a lot of vegan options. You can choose between 1,2 and 3 flavours together and with cone...Read More

Best gelato in the USA! Okay, I’m exaggerating but it feels like I’m transported back to Italy—same taste & vibes. Even their coffee tastes strong, simple, and satisfying like in Italy.

Best gelato. I was taken to Italy on a hot summer evening when I enjoyed the flavors. Employees take pride in over 80 flavors being rotated. Top notch establishment.

I could've sworn I had reviewed Kikilu before. I went on opening day a couple of years ago and we've been going back periodically ever since. The buildup to opening was huge since we're super-regulars at Otto Strada. The flavors are all great and...Read More

I’m not trying to be dramatic but I have had gelato and ice cream across the world (all across italy, turkey, France, Japan) and the pistachio, coconut, and strawberry gelato at KikiLu is still unmatched. I know…dramatic. But truly 10/10 for me.

The best dark chocolate gelato I've ever had, and the black color was pretty cool as well. Pistachio was meh though.
