What People Are Saying About Gelato Bar Cafe

Featured Review

Tara Lis

Contributor

In Short – Inspired by her annual visit to Panciale, in the Umbria, Gail Silverton set out to expose Angelenos in her area to the la dolce vita Italian lifestyle. The result is her refined yet playfully themed piazza-style sweets shop and coffeehouse. Namesake frozen offerings come in two dozen flavors, such as blood orange, pink grapefruit, cinnamon basil and stracciatella, as well as more traditional tastes. There's also dairy free chocolate and sugar-free versions. Locally roasted coffee comes from Coffee Roaster and Intelligentsia.

All The Goods In One Place

by Kika Davis 2

The only place near me where I can find Cake Monkey (seriously the best sweets on earth) and couple it with scoops of smooth gelato and jolt inducing caramel macchiatos. All awhile I can surf the internet on their free wi-fi to check out the latest fad diet to help me lose all the weight I'm about to gain.

Yummy Gelato...POOR customer service..

by Ericm7

Cute place..great Gelato! Staff QUESTIONABLE...girls behind the counter were to preoccupied texting & talking with friends at the bar about auditions rather then assisting customers.. Unfortunate, that staff seems so burdened by assisting customers.

Good Italian style ice cream, small portions...

by fenris2000

My wife and I go have gone to this ice cream shop plenty of times. The staff is usually friendly and the fact that you can sit outside is a big plus. The ice cream is pretty good, having some of the Italian classics as well as new flavors. The only BIG downside is the price. You would expect a decent size ice cream cup for almost $7, but some of the waiters are rather stingy with the amount they serve...

  • Pros: Great Italian style ice cream
  • Cons: Expensive

Adorable, Favorite New Place

by bettycrocker0459

My friend Moe asked to meet me here, I didn't even know it existed. GELATO= YUM and I'm totally an ice cream girl. They have a ZILLION different flavors and the staff is really nice. It's so frickin' cute inside and I've never seen it super busy. Honestly, I don't think the buzz has gotten out yet which will make me sad when it does. But it's my absolute favorite new place... so cute...and TASTY!!! Happy, happy!! Moey, when are we going back???

  • Pros: Friendly staff, awesome gelato, sampling, pretty atmosphere
  • Cons: At this time, I have zero cons.

Best Espresso and Yogurt in Town!

by roccodog

I stop by this place every day after work, and it truly is exceptional. People need to get out of line at Aroma and head over to Gelato Bar to try REAL coffee, with employees that really know their foam. Obviously the gelato is great, but what people seem to ignore is how delicious the pastry's are as well! I really suggest a scoop of gelato and biscoti, or any pastry for that matter. A little pricey, but SO worth it!

Check it out, and discover for yourself.

  • Pros: Deliciousness, atmosphere, service
  • Cons: ...none!
