Tifa Chocolate & Gelato

Annika

Overpriced. The gelato is good but nothing special. The base is just OK — something in the vanilla rings false. The flavors seemed a bit flat.

Beautiful place, live plaza, delicious coffee, and perfect cookies. The most fascinating aspect of Tifa is game boards, especially chess boards that I loved it. We played two games sitting on the porch watching beautiful perspective.

This is a great little gelato shop with super kind staff and fantastic gelato. There’s a lot of seating room and a few table and chairs to sit in the patio.

This place is an absolute delight. The staff was so friendly and willing to help us find the perfect gelato, encouraging to try something new. I’m so impressed by the variety of flavours and how creative they are. The strawberry balsamic peaked my interested and won my heart has a delicious, fresh, and creamy blend of flavours. We ended up leaving with some baked goods and chocolates as well- talk about an amazing place to indulge! We got 7 chocolates: dark chocolate basil, strawberry champagne, pistachio rose, vegan lemon blueberry, vegan açai blueberry, hot cocoa, and Mexican hot chocolate. The dark chocolate basil was our first stop, it was soft and light. The basil in the cream was a little heavy handed but the after taste of the basil with the dark chocolate was delicate and beautiful. It makes me want to adventure more into herb infused chocolate! The strawberry champagne was exactly what I wanted: a strawberries and cream flavour that just gently melted into the champagne and danced out on a soft note. It was absolutely delicious and one of my favourites. The pistachio rose was a pistachio crusted milk chocolate truffle with a very light rose flavour, almost so subtle I couldn’t find it. The nuts added a great texture and didn’t compete with the chocolate truffle. The lemon blueberry reminded me of a summer pie filling. You get a great balance of the blueberry and lemon- they compete a little bit as the lemon is very bold but it was delicious and I would eat a whole pie with the filling of this chocolate. Açai blueberry also saw some competition of flavour, but rather than balancing out in the end like the lemon blueberry, the açai overpowered the blueberry to the pint where I couldn’t really find the blueberry. Definitely a must if you’re a bit fan of açai, but if you want more blueberry I’d suggest the lemon blueberry. The hot cocoa was a masterpiece and we felt like we had a cup of hot cocoa after eating it. It was a great flavour experience. The Mexican hot chocolate started as I would’ve expected, but whoa she got spicy real quick! It was VERY intense and expected, but not bad at all!
