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 and additional toppings. Looking forward to trying more amazing flavors here. 10/10 recommend.

I would give 6 stars if I could. I tried multiple places in the area claiming to have authentic gelato, but this one is the first that delivers on the promise. I will come back often and bring my friends.Update: I have been a regular for the last year and the gelato has been consistently amazing!

Ordered: Picollo/Small Cup - Fior de Latte (~$5): translates to "flower of milk"; milky flavor with floral nuances Aya's take: You know when you just want something sweet yet light after dinner, this is the exact flavor that will satisfy that craving. With the Picollo/Small Cup, you can only choose 1 flavor. I wish they did half scoops since the Mezzo/Medium size would be too much for me. Anyway, back to the gelato. The Fior de Latte is so simple yet complex of a flavor. It's fresh, milky, mild in taste. The floral notes are very subtle; I would've loved if that was accentuated a bit more in each bite. Great neighborhood gelato spot! I would go back.

It’s a cute shop with gelato and other sweet treats. The gelato is displayed in small batches, which I think helps with freshness and quality control. The flavor options are traditional gelato flavors - coffee, pistachio, hazelnut, dark chocolate, fior di latte. Definitely an elevated experience for frozen treats.I got a cup with the pistachio and coffee flavors. I will definitely get the pistachio again, but I’ll pass on the coffee. The coffee flavor was a bit light on flavor for me and I prefer when it’s a bit more bitter. The pistachio was one of the best pistachios I’ve had.

They had a wonderful selections of flavors and the service is really nice. Gelato was so good and everything was 100% better today because it was free (trick or treat for kids) and food was served with - will definitely come back

Every flavor we have ever had at KiKiLu has been delicious! Generous portions and love the mini cones. We love having them as our neighborhood treat spot!! Hoboken residents are so generous on Halloween to it's overwhelming number of trick or treaters. It was a wonderful surprise to have a special gelato treat for the children on Halloween - my kids and their friends were delighted by this "trick or treat". Thank you KKL!!
Such a wonderful shop! The staff is super friendly and the owners truly care about the community. Had a great time tonight and loved the free samples for Halloween. We will be back!

So kind to give out free gelato to the kids for Halloween. Best gelato in Hoboken bar none. Lol at the guy below that complained about a small business giving out free gelato to kids on Halloween because his wife didn't get gelato on her birthday. Halloween is for the kids - they didn't even have to do this! Don't berate a small business over something that was meant for the kids.

Bad service; bad humans -- don't give money to bad humans. The gelato is bad quality too.

Passed by and wanted to try a new place for gelato. Simply blew us away! We had pistachio and milk chocolate flavors and both were amazing! Even the cone on top was crunchy and tasty. They also have bakery goods and coffee too. Will def come back!

This place has the best tasting non-dairy ice cream/gelato I've had in quite some time. They even had three flavors, which is amazing. Their strawberry flavor in particular was stellar! The staff were also friendly ?
