"I had an amazing experience today at EscoGelato. I could persist about the great prices, the cozy atmosphere and the delicious & quality Gelato, but the service here really is something special. They are so kind, welcoming and thoughtful."

"Everyone is always smiley. It just puts you in a good mood. The staff and customers, just people enjoying spending time here with a delicious treat! It is impossible to have a bad experience, especially with how creative they are with the flavors!"

"I've been coming to this location once in a blue moon ever since it was Blue Mug Coffee & Tea (2002). Among locals, it's a very popular place, with great memories of making new friends, having casual business meetings, going for coffee after downtown events, catching up on the latest or just relaxing with the newspaper and/or a loved one on the weekend. With its wide-open entrance, it's fun watching the world go by on the sidewalk or side street. Years ago, I used to just quickly grab coffee on the way to work. More recently, I had lunch. I had a little time to relax on the tree-shaded patio before my tomato bisque and mediterranean salad arrived. Slowing down really made me savor the food. That's so important for being able to experience the individual aspects of a meal and what went into the preparation. The texture and subtle herbal flavors of the soup were divine. The artisanal bread was crunchy and delicious. The salad dressing was so fresh and tangy. When I expressed my appreciation, my server told me the details about how they made the meal. I was so impressed. She was clearly someone who loves food, ingredients and the work. That's so important for any establishment. It shows in the final product. The staff were all very hard at work. For patrons, the nice aspect of slowing down is getting to chat with each other on the patio. So, the name of this place may have changed but the vibe remains. Continuity is comforting. Shoppers might consider this place for quality gifts, e.g. wine and goats' milk lotion."

"Absolutely yummy! Some of the best gelato I've ever had! The Birthday Cookie and the Smore's tasted super good, and it's fairly priced, too! I didn't get any of the other items on the menu yet, but I'm planning to soon since they sound interesting and the prices are good!"

"Support local business! This small gelato and sorbet shop is a gem! Service with a smile! Generous portions! There are a few tables inside and outside to sit and enjoy. Street parking only. I will definitely come back here next time I'm in Escondido"
