Cannella Gelato - Pistachio on a waffle cone - Gelato Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

One last stop before heading home from Bham! I'd had this spot bookmarked and it was a short drive from where we ate, so we headed on over to get some dessert. This gelateria is tucked away in a cute area. The road is like...cobblestone? Or very uneven and narrow at least. Wasn't super friendly for our car. Probably better to walk from somewhere else nearby. The inside was super weirdly hot, which was unexpected. Fortunately we were getting our goodies to go. There's very limited seating inside but you could maybe grab a spot if you wanted to. I ordered a scoop of hazelnut gelato and husband got chocolate. The flavor selection is somewhat simple and limited but that's not necessarily a bad thing - product seems very high quality. Service was acceptable, quiet and matter of fact. The serving size was generous. Both gelatos were good, but my hazelnut was great! It was so pleasantly nutty and sweet, and the texture was amazing. I'd definitely order this treat again! Give them a try if you're a gelato fan. Yum! read more

Cannella Gelato - Hazelnut gelato - Gelato Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

A great cap off after a delicious pizza next door at Pizza Grace. The lemon blackberry and the chocolate sorbet made for a delicious combination. Super friendly service. Highly recommend. read more

Super kind staff. Very patient and let us try multiple flavors. It's always nice when people are willing to engage with you, ask you how your day was and learn more about you. The gelato has the perfect soft texture and isn't too heavy on your stomach. I felt refreshed and energized after eating it. The lemon lavender goat cheese ice cream had a delicious citrusy flavor. The goat cheese was subtle. The lavender flavor shined through. The blood orange is delicious, not too much of a bitterness or a bite to it. Perfectly balanced flavors. Loved sitting outside. read more

Cannella Gelato - Gelato Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Cannella Gelato is such a gem tucked right on historic Morris Ave; the location alone makes it worth stopping by, but the experience sealed the deal for me. I ordered the affogato for the first time, and it was absolutely amazing; creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. I'm pretty sure I finished it in under five minutes! The person at the counter was super helpful and kind, especially since it was my first time trying an affogato. They walked me through what it was and even suggested the best flavor pairing. You can really tell they care about creating a good experience. The space itself feels cozy and inviting perfect for a quick dessert stop after dinner downtown or a stroll through Morris Ave. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors, but the affogato has officially become my new favorite treat. read more

Cannella Gelato - Outside - Gelato Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

We came here looking to cool down and after a visit to the Civil Rights Institute. It was nice to get off our feet and enjoy the covered outdoor eating area in the old building nestled between it and another restaurant. It is on a cobblestone road that was nice and bumpy, but we were able to find a great parking spot right in front on this Saturday afternoon. Normally, gelato place have standard flavors, but htis place has come unique ones. They are great with sampling and I tried the mint stracciatella, which was unique and very strong on the mint flavoring, which I love! I got the next size up from the kids size and they let you select up to 2 flavors with this size, so I got that and the espresso chip, which had little chips that were the perfect size for that texture to hit just right in your mouth! read more

Italian gelato in the heart of Birmingham! Based on the natural colors of their flavor selection, I'm assuming it's fairly authentic. I did a split flavor kids scoop and it was a perfect amount for a post-lunch treat. They also let you sample which is a plus! Pricing is pretty standard, nothing baffling. There's plenty of space to sit outside or inside. Birmingham has some pretty great ice cream spots, and I'd this one to the list! read more

Will preface by saying that I've been to Italy and have had authentic gelato: We had just finished dinner and were craving something savory & sweet. We knew of a few different spots that served sweet treats, but wanted something new. After pulling into a handicap parking spot (mistakenly) and searching for something, I found Canella Gelato. When we arrived and walked in, we were warmly greeted by staff and were shown a multitude of options. Everything looked delicious so, of course, the patron had the option (privilege) of sampling the gelato. I decided to get the cookies & cream/strawberry combo. Fiancé decided on coffee alone. Although the strawberry and cookies & cream were very good, I got a taste of her coffee and I was astounded.. I do not like coffee flavored anything outside of the actual stuff, but this was some of the best tasting gelato I've ever had. 5/5 for sure. We've been twice and found that the service, product, and ambience are the same and that's exactly what we desire. read more

definitely a new found spot for a good dessert! the place was a little whole in the wall place by pizza grace and it was so cute! read more

Gelato without the cult indoctrination (if you know, you know) WOW I came in here on a whim after dinner across the hall. I love the concept of the mercantile and the whole aesthetic. Such a cute, clean shop, with FANTASTIC hand made gelato. Customer service was lovely and so patient while my husband and I each tried several flavors before selecting ours. My husband had jasmine and cappuccino, I had stracciatella and chocolate sorbet (WOW for a sorbet, my mind was blown). We already can't wait to come back and try more flavors! The prices are very reasonable too. We don't have a single criticism. read more

So creamy and delicious. Your girl is a sucker for ice cream but it's been a hot minute since I have found a gelato place with dairy-free options and this place did not disappoint.

I'm in town from Atlanta for work & stumbled upon this place close to my Airbnb. As a newbie to Alabama, I had no idea a lot of spots stay closed throughout the week but this gelato spot is open on a Monday which I'm so thankful for. The service here was exquisite and they let me try multiple flavors before deciding. They have a lemon lavender honey goat milk gelato and it is AMAZING!!! It's something I'll probably be dreaming about back in Atlanta so it's a for sure place to stop by if you're ever near this area. Looks like they serve coffee too so if you're looking for just coffee or affogatos as well, I highly recommend. There's plenty do street parking and to the looks of it, no one is actually checking the meters. This area seems to be developing a lot, but it's a true treat that this business is here to serve treats to those nearby. I'll definitely be back when I come back to Alabama! read more
