I don't even like gelato but this place is otherworldly!!! As soon as I finished my cup of wild blueberry with basil and mango (half and half), topped with a fresh cone I wanted MORE!!! Beyond delicious!

The coconut ice cream is delicious and the lady was a pleasure to deal with. She is very pleasant and explained everything.

I've tried many dairy-free ice creams in my day, and this is truly some of the best I've ever had—if not THE best. I'm guessing the key difference between Grinning Face and what I've eaten previously is the egg, because most dairy-free ice creams are also vegan. Grinning Face does also sell vegan flavors, but I found the texture of those slightly different from the egg-containing ones. I think the egg as an emulsifier works better.

I tried the lemon one and my partner tried the peach (or raspberry, can't recall), and we both loved ours, but the lemony lemon was our favorite. The shop is very small and can get crowded, but we live nearby and usually grab containers to go. 

Regarding the hours: I checked Grinning Face's website and the Zomato hours are not accurate. They're now open on Thursdays and much later Friday through Sunday (although they may have seasonal hours). If they had more regular hours, I'd probably go at least once a week.
