Despite the icy -10°C weather, I couldn’t resist trying Figo Gelato in NYC—and honestly, it was worth every shiver! There’s something extra memorable about enjoying gelato in the freezing cold, and Figo made it a truly delightful experience. The cozy little shop had a welcoming vibe that made stepping in from the chill feel like a treat in itself. I went with two flavors: caffè and yogurt. The caffè gelato was rich, bold, and creamy, with just the right amount of coffee kick to perk me up on a winter afternoon. The yogurt flavor was equally impressive—refreshingly tangy and perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with a smooth texture that made it stand out from other gelato shops I’ve tried. Both flavors paired really well, and I loved how the staff encouraged me to sample before making my choice. Even with the cold outside, every bite was freezingly good and left me wanting more. Figo Gelato is a spot I’ll be dreaming about long after my visit, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone in NYC—no matter the weather! I can’t wait to come back and try even more flavors next time.

Delicious ice-cream consistency and great selection of flavors. The ice-cream is not super sweet soggy. The dark chocolate and Dubai chocolate are a must take.

We loved the Bleecker Street location. The employees were so nice and helped us with our gelato flavors. The gelato has to be one of the best in NYC and the location is extremely clean and in a very convenient area - will be coming back soon!
