“ Love the drinks here. I come here Friday evenings and hang out while older daughter is in art class nearby. Tonight I got a S’mores hot chocolate with Baileys. ”
“ Omg and I mean OMG!!!! I am in love with this place. Since we walked in, the customer service was outstanding. Kevin recommended us the s’more hot chocolate, the banana cake, chocolate muffin and the cappuccinos. My husband had the Bourbon Chai Cocktail done by Shaila, which was out of this world. Kevin and Shaila have the best customer service. Place is beautiful and clean and it feels like we were in Dominican Republic. Big shout out to Kevin and Shaila. ”

“ I hosted a calligraphy class here, and ordered the fig and honey prosecco splash - SO delicious! Also service was great, and Elias was super helpful with everything. Wish I knew about this spot sooner. ”
“ My husband and I love this place & always recommend to our friends who haven’t been yet. From the gelato, to drip coffee, gluten free brownies and breakfast sandwiches and burritos, everything is SUPERB! Yesterday we ordered the breakfast burrito(comes in spinach wrap), waffles & breakfast tacos with bacon added. As usual, everything was fresh, quick & filling! Kevin up front is always great to chat with & super helpful. The other young ladies are also friendly, hardworking & keep the place so neat & tidy. Stop by!! ”
“ Absolutely love La Gelatteria! I would regularly stop by for breakfast as it’s near my work and recently I got one of the latte’s that has blown my mind it is so good! Staff is always kind and prompt, appropriate wait times for food, and if you’re not here for breakfast you can always grab some delicious gelato ”
“ Food and drinks have always been fresh and worth the extra dollar. Perfect place to stop in on the way home after work. One of the few open all day !! Kevin and Shaila are fantastic, very sweet. Even though they do get pretty slammed during the days, management and staff are always on point with the cleanliness of the establishment. Please be kind to them. London Fog tea lattes are a staple here. Delicious. Thank you! ”
“ Was wanting to go here for a while. Finally made it and now am wondering why I didn't for so long. Coffee is awesome. Espresso and drip. Both awesome. The gelato is really good. And so was the quiche. This place is a winner. ”
