There’s excitement going around of a brand new dessert spot, and Tifa Chocolate & Gelato, the latest gelato and chocolate shop to open its doors, has already been making a name for themselves as a must visit destination here in Bakersfield. By combining the art of homemade gelato & chocolate, this is definitely one place you don’t want to miss out on.

When walking in, you’re greeted by a wide variety of options that will leave you in awe. Every flavor of gelato sitting perfectly in front of the glass and the handcrafted chocolates that almost look too good to eat. It’s the perfect kind of place where you can hangout with friends or even just to stop by if you’re craving a sweet treat.

The Gelato is the absolute star of the show. The prices ranging from $5.79 – $8.79. Especially the natural flavors such as the mango sorbetto and the strawberry rose sorbetto did not disappoint. Its smooth, light, refreshing, flavor made each scoop taste like the fruit itself. Without being overly sugary or tasting artificial. Flavors such as mango, strawberry, and lemon have that X factor that makes them irresistible. On the other hand, if you’re a big fan of cookies & cream the cookie monster gelato is the perfect choice. The bright blue color loaded with chunks of chocolate chip cookies and pieces of oreo, gives every scoop a mix of that cookie crunch & sweetness. Overall perfect for anyone who loves cookies and wants a dessert that is fun.

The chocolates are just as impressive ranging from $2.00 truffles to give boxes priced up to $50.00 depending on the size and selection. Each piece is handcrafted daily, making them the perfect indulgence on their own or pared with gelato.

The staff is very welcoming and friendly, and I what personally like about this place is that they offer to sample every single you would like to help you find your new favorite flavor.

Overall, this spot is a gem, with its delicious gelato, rich chocolates, and inviting space, it’s the perfect place to satisfy your sweet tooth or bring friends and family to share something delightful together
