Securing its place for the second year in a row, Bontà has stayed true to the definition of “the Italian term for goodness or the quality or state of being good,” as it states on its website. Often with lines out the door even in winter, people have been flocking to the shop since owners Jeff and Juli Labhart opened its doors. Each small batch of gelato is handcrafted daily using many Oregon-produced ingredients.

With 18 rotating flavors including stracciatella, Theo dark chocolate, Thump espresso and vanilla bourbon pecan, as well as seasonally flared options and dairy-free sorbets, you can get your cone on, enjoy a double or triple scoop cup or grab your favorite pint for the road.
