Good ice cream

Be aware that you might have to wait a bit as the queue is usually pretty long. The staff is super friendly and vegan options are marked.

Pretty ice cream

The queue for this place was huge - but like many others I wanted to enjoy the stunning design! Good selection of vegan options - mostly sorbets, I could only see one vegan ice cream so perhaps avoid if you’re not a sorbet fan. The flavours were really good - strawberry and elderflower and lemon and basil were very refreshing on such a hot day. You are paying for the novelty shape but it’s cute so why not!

Nice looking but expensive

At the end it’s only ice cream. You’re paying for the shape.

Tasty and artsy

They have some interesting vegan flavours like strawberry/elderflower and its nice to see how they make the roses but I spent 30 minutes in line which wasn't worth it in my opinion. I like the experience but won't visit again. Also the cones tasted cheap..

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Nice to experience

Cons: Long waiting line

Similar to Amorino

Has some interesting flavours other ice cream stores don't have
Quite busy the shop. You have to pay first then you get the recipe and you can go and choose what you want at the ice cream counter.
Not to cheap.
Ice cream is good quality tastes nice.
A few vegan options available

Yummy vegan ice cream!

This place is located right in the middle of St Stephens Square and everyone seems to have heard of it, as the queue was out of the door! However it was very quick and the process they have for paying and ordering is super slick.

Vegan options are clearly labelled in blue, and there are a few sorbets and some ice cream to choose from. Beautiful presentation.

So fun!

Who doesn't love an instagrammable meal that's also delicious! I'm not even an ice cream person but this was so so yummy and refreshing!

I tried the dark chocolate, lemon basil and strawberry (something). She misheard me and gave me the strawberry one but nonetheless it was still a treat. My friend (a vegan ice cream connoisseur lol) gave it an 11/10 and tried the pistachio.

The vegan ice creams are all clearly labelled and the staff is happy to help.

Pros: Refreshing, Friendly Staff

Vegan options of a beautiful ice cream

Made with fruits, it tastes the real fruit. Some vegan options such as chocolate with banana, berries, watermelon and exotic. HUF 1200 for 3 flavors. One unit very central, close to the cathedral. A second unit crossing the square. A few time the queue as there was not many staff for the amount of clients. It accepts international debit card. I noticed a difference in size among my ice cream and my husband’s.

Pros: Some vegan options. , Central. , Cheap.

Cons: Some differences in size among portions.

An overcrowded and overpriced gimmick

Unfortunately the portion is very small and not very tasty. I think it is more of a gimmick.

Delicious and Cute

This is my second time in Budapest and I have always remembered Gelarto Rosa from my first visit. This time, I took my partner with me, and we each had a three layered ice-cream. I had peach sorbet, passion fruit and banana, and chocolate hazelnut. My partner had passion fruit and banana, pistachio, and mango. We both thought it was delicious, and we loved how cute it was- in the shape of a rose. The staff were friendly and patient (waiting for us to choose out of the options).
There were quite a few vegan options to choose from, which was great! Definitely recommend for a memorable ice-cream experience.

Pros: Good vegan options , Delicious , Friendly staff

Lots of vegan flavours, looks beautiful

I had a bit of queue here but the shop was very organised and efficient. Lots of vegan flavours to choose. The ice cream looks gorgeous, and was a refreshing treat on a hot day, but I wouldn’t say it was unforgettable gelato.

Alright and fancy looking

Outside layer/leaves translate to a small portion/scoop so whatever your favourite flavour is you're best off saying at time of ordering that this one should be the inside of your rose. Don't expect to be asked like I did;) Like others said, taste isn't that great but design is pretty

Pros: Good few vegan options

Cons: Expensive

Simple but the roses are nice

Simple flavours, nothing special. I'd only go if you want a Rose ice cream because there are lots of tastier options nearby.

Pros: Cool rose shape

Cons: Few options

Full vegan menu

Didn't realize the whole menu was vegan until I asked. Only one dish had vegan in the title. They also have "nutella" listed as a waffle topping and "bailey's coffee" on the menu, but I was asked it's all vegan. I ordered the banana chocolate waffle with strawberry and nutella. It was a sugar overload! 😝 The texture is more like a cake/pancake. Don't expect crispy, but it was Felicia all the same. I will be back on this trip.

Pros: Full vegan menu, Sweet and savory
