Vegan Friendly

Tondi Gelato is a vegan gelato lover's dream—half of the flavors were vegan, and the options included more than just fruit flavors. During our trip, we tried dark chocolate, pistachio, mango, watermelon, and lemon. Every flavor was delicious. The chocolate and pistachio were decadent and creamy, while the fruit flavors tasted like fresh fruit and were refreshing. I personally love combining chocolate and fruit. The staff were also very friendly! Tondi Gelato was easily one of my favorite stops in Santa Barbara.

Many vegan flavors

The vegan flavor s are clearly marked, and about half of all the flavors were vegan. I got the pistachio, and it was the perfect summer afternoon treat.

Vegan pistachio ice cream

I was really surprised by the selection of vegan ice cream.
I didn't have an pistachio ice cream since I am vegan and was so happy they had some and it tasted perfect 💚🍦

Awesome, smooth, delicious - the best vegan gelato I've ever had. They have vegan cones as well. I got pistachio and coconut. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area.

OMG! So Good

All the reviews were so good we had to go and it did not disappoint. It was delicious, so creamy and rich very much like gelato we had in Italy. I had peach and key lime pie (even had pieces of crust in it), scrumptious. My wife had almond and pistachio, also very good. They have about 20 flavors have of which are vegan.

Pros: So so good, Many vegan choices, Family owned

Riquísimo helado vegano

Me vino muy bien encontrar este lugar gracias a la app ya que tenía mucho antojo de un buen helado. Por suerte la heladería cuenta con un montón de opciones veganas, de una calidad tremenda. Probé dos sabores: mango y chocolate fondente, exquisito!!

Delicious gelato!

Omg. This gelato was sooo good. We tried the dark chocolate, strawberry, and key lime pie flavors. They allow you to taste the flavors before you choose. It was so yummy! The key lime pie flavor was crazy good. It really tasted like key lime pie! Highly recommend. Half the flavors are vegan.

Pros: Lots of vegan flavors

Cons: Not all flavors are vegan

Half of the flavors are vegan

I absolutely love this place. All fruit flavors are vegan plus a vegan chocolate. I love that the fruit flavors are fresh and actually taste like fruit! They add new flavors all the time, so we go by a couple of times a month to see what’s new or to get some delicious chocolate vegan gelato!

Excellent gelato -- seasonal flavors and many vegan options

This place is so good! Great smooth texture and bright, delicious flavors. Half of the flavors are vegan. of these, most are traditional Italian sorbetto (no milk) and a few are vegan gelato with rice milk. Some flavors are always available and always delicious (like the dark chocolate), and others change with the seasons depending on locally available produce. All the gelato and sorbetto is made right there in the shop.

Pros: so delicious!, lots of vegan options, new flavors to try

Cons: no cons
