Very unexpected flavors! The texture was very smooth yet packed with so much deliciousness! Highly recommend the taro (for taro lovers) flavor, and the lychee. Deliciously satisfying after a heavy meal!
One of the best ice cream shops in the bay area. Very unique flavors based on Asian fruits - durian, Jack fruit, lychee, etc. Feels like the real fruits
Best ice cream I have ever had! I tried durian, black sesame, taro,lychee, thai tea, jackfruit and pistachio. All of them are rich and have strong fruit flavor. My favorites are jackfruit, pistachio and durian.
If you like durian, mangosteen, guava, jackfruit, lychee Italian ice cream..than this place if for you.
Ice cream taste was just amazing here. I really enjoyed there. Location was awesome.
Its all made from scratch and very tasty. This ice cream has been my favorite so far. This is a delicious dark chocolate and orange ice cream.
Wonderful. I tried durian ice cream and would recommend it (unless u cannot eat durian). 5 stars for sure
Due to pandemic place is close most of the time. There r 2 tables for outside sitting but is not kept clean.
Really good ice cream! My favorites are the Mango and Lychee! A little pricey for ice cream but worth it!
I love Marco Polo and will go out of my way to go here. The ice cream tastes super fresh, and like its made with quality ingredients. My favorite part is that they have such a wide range of flavors, especially Asian and SE Asian flavors (taro, durian, black sesame, etc.). They also offer unconventional drink combinations (like a coconut ice cream + sprite for example). Well worth the trip!
Fresh ice cream and its so creamy
Mangosteen ice cream ftw.
This is not your typical ice cream. The ice cream is creamy yet not too sweet. My daughter loves leechy flavor and so do I. We always stop by here after lunch. Highly recommend it.
Great tasting ice cream especially the more exotic flavors. I love getting the black sesame, guava and the red bean ice cream here. The customer service is always really nice and more than willing to let you sample some flavors before you commit. They have a great. And large selection of flavors. You can get anything from normal flavors like strawberry to exotics flavors of mangosteen.
Good selection of flavors.
Great flavors and textures. I ordered durian, sesame and mangosteen, they taste so great for tropical flavor in a milky style, not sorbet style.
So good!
Great flavors. Nice service. I will be returning.
Great for adventurous eaters. Must try the durian flavor, I will be back for the taro and the red bean on my next visit.
The ice cream was great! However, this is definitely NOT an Italian ice cream joint! Durian sure doesnt grow in Italy!
The place is a commute for us coming from the north. But I think its worth the time and the effort to go there. There are so many different fruit flavors that you will not see in other creameries or ice cream places. The block sesame seed was just awesome and very unique in its taste. I could Rave and rant about all the flavors but you will never know until you get the experience of tasting the different flavors that they have.
Wide choice of variations - besides expected flavours some of them are quite rare finds, nice design and friendly service :) Very good selection of ice cream.
Nice flavors
Food was so delicious. looking forward to returning with my friends. the prices are fair for the quality of food. mood here reminds me of colorado springs area.
Bomb flavors I would never have thought to try if I hadnt gone here!
Marco Polo is a good place if youre hankering for a gelato shop with fun Asian flavors. This location is at an edge of The Shops at Vietnam Town - the largest Vietnamese Plaza in California, or so the sign says.I sampled nearly every fun flavor and settled upon the Thai Iced Tea and the Taro in a cup for $5.50 for two flavors, though tempted by the Banana Walnut and Lychee. Meanwhile, a non-Asian family ordered their Double Chocolate, Mocha Chip, Vanilla, and Strawberry. So the options are there.Water was available against the wall - just ask for a cup. A bathroom was tucked down the hall. Limited seating
I really loved this place. This place has a nice atmosphere. They have a lot of great reviews for a reason.
Very friendly staff. Tropical flavors like durian, jackfruit, mangosteen.All are very good, especially durian.
Visited on Fri I believe. I had a cousin come into town and asked me to take him back here. It has a cool interior.
I love the durian and soursop ice cream here. I also like the jackfruit one! Taste them all! I first started liking Marco Polo in SF when my friend would buy pints of durian ice cream to bring home. I learned why! Their ice cream is soft and you can still taste pieces of fruit from it especially the soursop. The flavors are perfect.
Amazing ice cream shop in a smallish shopping center. Fantastic service. Amazing ice cream. Go give them a try.
I cant believe I havent written a review for this place. This is actually one of my top 5 favorite ice cream shop in the Bay Area. They have unique Asian flavors such as durian (my favorite), lychee, mangosteen and jackfruit to name the few. Its on the pricier side but you get real pieces of fruit in the ice cream. Yum!
A very neat and tidy place to get really good gelato. Cones are huge, even the small. The banana walnut flavor was outstanding.
I love snacking here. Ive had nothing but enjoyable experiences here and plan to keep visiting. The bill was average for the menu.
Good ice cream if youre rich :P
Tried the durian, jackfruit, mangosteen and sesame and theyre all amazing. The ice cream is nice and dense. Definitely coming back.
Sooooo yummy!!!! Lots of different flavors as well as traditional flavors. Didnt know it was homemade till I read it in another review, no wonder its so good!Found this gem on Thanksgiving night, so theyre even open on holidays! Also, the lady helping us was friendly and helpful. Glad I dont live here, otherwise Id be here allllll the time!!
I dont do so well under pressure. So when my friend and I stopped by Garden Creamery for dessert and it was my turn to order and I freak out, I stick with the safest option I know instead of trying one of their unique flavors. Cant go wrong with Cookies & Cream.
Ice cream is very unique. The flavors resemble many different flavors including durian and Thai tea. Parking can be difficult but its worth at least one try.
Just happen upen this place love the variety of ice cream
There are so many variety of ice creams. From Durian, Mangosteen, etc.
Not you ordinary ice Cream shop. Mostly Asian flavors. Great tasting. Clean n the servers are friendly
Great quality Italian ice cream. Would love to have more European flavors to choose from.
Amazing quality ice cream that is soo smooth. Place with exotic asian flavors, so youre paying extra for a great mouthfeel and variety of flavors.
It is really all homemade and good, the fruit flavor really comes through using ingrediants that dont taste locally sourced at all. Amazing fruit flavors!
Very creamy andots of Asian popular flavors like taro, durian, quava etc.
Fantastic quality gelato, but what really outs this over the top is the unique flavors. If this was a typical gelato store, it would be 4 stars in terms of quality. But the 5 star comes from the Asian influence in their flavors: durian, black sesame, taro, etc. Super unique for gelato and absolutely delicious!
Honestly the best gelato in San Jose and maybe even in the entire Bay Area! Lots of tropical fruit flavors, and all come with real fruit inside. For fruit flavors, I particularly loved the lychee and durian. Other flavors I recommend:-Thai iced tea, strong Thai Tea flavor-Taro (made with taro and coconut so its a bit grainy, the same texture of real taro. Ans it was super soft because of the coconut-Coffe cognac, do NOT miss this if you are a coffee lover. I may or may not be biased because coffee is amongst my Top 3 favorite flavorsI cannot recommend this place enough and cannot wait to come back!!Tip:1) Try as many samples as you want (if not busy)2) $10 minimum for credit cards (each small, 1-2 flavors, is $5.20)
The fresh banana with walnut ice cream is to die for ...AMMMAZINGGGG!
I like this place, the ice cream is great and they have a bunch of unique flavors to try.
Its far away from Italian ice cream...
Excellent flavors like Sesame, Lychee, Red Bean, and Matcha. There’s a minimum for card, but we usually meet it when we get two smalls.
This place was so yummy!
More of an Asian Ice Creamery. Not bad, just go in expecting more exotic flavors.
Lots of new exciting flavors to try, better than the usual fare youll find at other similar Ice Cream Shops.
This place has all kind of asian fruit flavor
Its Italian ice cream with Vietnamese flavors.
Tasty ice cream
They have my fave, black sesame seed ice ceeam
Love the green tea ice cream. Creamy and tasty.
In A Nutshell:-So happy that the owners decided to open a SoBay (South Bay) location.-What I like about Marco Polo (cool name and all) is the exotic South East Asian fruit flavors (i.e. mangosteen, durian, soursop, guava, jackfruit, lychee, etc...).-Everything about this place is simple and clean. The layout is definitely a lot more fancier than the SF store, but I could care less as long as the ice cream still tastes the same.Overall, as it continually trends warmer in California, Ill continually make my way to Marco Polo (and I dont even like sweets). Grab some!
Great service! Lots of yummy flavors to try :)& clean bathroom
Great lychee and durian flavor ice cream.
Unique flavors. Good gelato.
Amazing. Durian gelato is bomb
I really recommend guava ice cream!
More Asian flavors than the Chinese Ice Cream Factory in New York.
Good customer service and very good ice cream
If you like tropical flavors, this is the place!
