My son was wanting a snack after we went to the park, and I happened to see Coppa Gelato from the road. The tables outside were full so I figured that was a good sign. The guy working was very friendly and offered some samples. I got my staple, pistachio and since my son loves cookies & cream he gave the cookies and milk flavor a try. Both flavors were excellent and the texture was even better. The shop is kinda small, I can imagine in the summer during peak hours this place can get very busy and seating sparse. Right now it's a bit toasty inside but hopefully it won't be as warm in here as the days get hotter. read more

Cute and cozy gelato cafe in Westerville. Samples available to help make your decisions easier. Offers a variety of flavors from fruity to indulgent! The pricing goes by size not scoops.

We came to Coppa after a dinner. This was our first visit to Coppa and came on the recommendation of friends who met us here. There are many gelatos to choose from. The servers are very friendly offering samples to taste while trying to choose. My bananas foster and baked peach was outstanding. The gelato was creamy, smooth, and very good. Coppa Gelato is on our rotation as a place to visit again...and again!! read more

Best gelato in the area for sure...my hubs has been to Italy before and says the gelato here tastes exactly like the true Italian gelato. I'd say this place is definitely a five star. They give good portion sizes for the price. read more

This place is a nice change from the regular ice cream places around. I went on a hot day and the place was full of people so trying to find a place to eat made it a little less enjoyable. The employees were very nice and helpful. They have many flavors, which makes me worry that it is not real, homemade gelato. The gelato was very good and they even have gelato flights which is fun. The prices weren't too bad either. read more

I now understand why Coppa Gelato is the Best Dessert in Westerville 2023 and Ohios Best Ice Cream Shop in 2023. My friends and I happen upon this gelato shop after going to dinner next door. The shop is setup as a cute ice cream parlor and there is a sign that says gelato vs ice cream and explains the differences. I didn't know that gelato is lower in calories, fat and carbohydrates. This shop has cups of ice cream, cones, pints, and shakes. I was able to try four different gelatos, including Stracciatella (my favorite), Cookies and Milk, Cookie Butter Crunch and Bourbon Pecan. All amazing flavors and I cannot wait to come back and try more. Definitely come out to this gem of a shop and try the amazing gelato. I appreciate the fact that I didn't feel very full or overwhelmed with sugar. I will definitely be back!! read more

First time coming here, thankfully the line was not too long, only at the door but not out the door. I ordered one scoop of gelato on a cake cone, and a medium cup choosing three flavors. The gelato was delicious and very creamy. The cake cone was a different story-- The cone was stale! I noticed everyone was ordering their gelato in a cup, so that may explain why the cone was stale because rarely does anyone order the gelato in a cone. I would like to make a suggestion that they do better in storing their cones to make sure that customers receive a fresh, crunchy cone. I read another review where a customer stated that the waffle cone was stale. After this, I doubt if I ever will order another cone, whether cake or waffle. Also if I'm not mistaken, the menu board stated that a one dip cake cone was a little over $5, and the medium cup was a little over $6, but my bill came to $13. Now unless there was tax added for carryout, I think that I was overcharged...I do not have a receipt. I did not realize this until I got home. Now I am feeling a little short changed being overcharged for my two items, plus receiving a stale cone. This will not stop me from returning, but I will pay more attention to what I am being charged, and only order gelato in a cup. Customer service was excellent. Nice quaint and cozy shop, with seating inside and outside. read more

Very convenient since it's next door to Napa and I was at Napa. I got 3 flavors to go. Friendly service and amazing gelato & sorbetto. They only had a few flavors left because it was late evening, but still a decent selection. Cute space with seating too. read more

So good! And the service was great - friendly, helpful and nice to talk to. Got a couple of tasters and they were all yummy!

Our family has been here a couple of times. Servers have always been friendly and you can get samples which is great to make sure the kids like the flavor they want. Parking is easy. The gelato flavors have always been delicious! They come in multiple size choices and say how many flavors will fit in each choice. There is also an ice cream flight which we want to try on our next visit! The gelato is a bit expensive but the quality and service is worth it. read more

So glad I finally tried this place! It's not on a main road, so I never would've known about it if it wasn't for all of the local write ups. I got a medium cookies & milk and pistachio. The medium had a generous portion of both flavors. Pistachio is always my go to when it comes to gelato, but the cookies and milk was incredible. It wasn't your average cookies n cream. I look forward to going back and trying more; especially since they rotate seasonal flavors in addition to their normal offerings. There was a decent amount of seating so we were able to sit and enjoy our gelato. The staff were nice and friendly, and let us try multiple flavors. read more

One of my fav places in Central Ohio for cold treats. I want to say ice cream, but I know it's not exactly. It's better than ice cream. Owners and employees are so nice, product is pricey but so worth it. Get the straciatella (sp?) If you like chocolate. Fun for the whole family or for a date. read more

This is our favorite gelato in Columbus! We drive 35 minutes to enjoy this treat. Their waffle cones are amazing, too.

They give a very generous serving. I got the pineapple sorbet and it was delicious. Would come again!

The staff were friendly, the interior was comfy, and me and my kids really enjoyed the taste of the gelato we ordered, definitely a great place. read more

There are a lot of flavors to choose and they are all delicious. The small serving of two flavors was ample and cheaper compared to Jeni's or Graeters. The young man who served us was very helpful and courteous. read more

The gelato at this place is fantastic. I'm a huge fan of the fruit flavored sorbets also. The pineapple is out of this world and is probably the best fruit flavored sorbet I have ever eaten. The decor in this place is also very retro and relaxing. You add all those items above and add in great service from the owners who seem to work real hard and provide great service you end up with a great little place to have a perfect dessert. read more

Coppa Gelato - This is what they call a "flight". Four separate cups of gelato or sorbet. Absolutely fantastic!!!!! - Desserts Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

We went out on a Thursday night just looking for something different than the standard ice cream options in Westerville. Gelato is that something extra! Lots of options as far as sizes & flavors, kid and adult friendly. Very delicious and found some of the options as good as when I had it in Italy. Especially pistachio. But I also liked coffee, sweet cream, and cherry flavor. They also offered options like affogato which is espresso with gelato. Even gelato cakes. They have a nice patio area just out front and have altered the business for C19, one way entry/exit doors, plexiglass barriers, etc. Was disappointed this place wasn't bussier on a hot summer night. Support them, it's really delicious. read more

Delicious gelato with home made waffle cones. The service is great. Good place. Seating outside which is nice.

Phenomenal frozen concoctions, ranging from familiar flavors to more exotic fare. The best gelato in the city, period.

Stumbled upon this place on Yelp by searching for dessert near me and I'm so glad I did! Wonderful first experience. The space was immaculate, bright, and inviting. Tasted a couple of the flavors and settled on pumpkin spice because 'tis the season, amirite? Each of the flavors we tried were bold and delicious. Servers were friendly. Prices were fair. Will definitely be back for many follow up visits! read more

I have tried Coppa Gelato at the Italian Festival many times and have always been impressed. They must have been in my Yelp bookmarks for years before I finally made my way there (I am NEVER in the Westerville area!). But I tried it back in March and was hooked! There are so many options and they are all heavenly. My favorites are the Panna Cotta and the Stracciatella. It's good to taste test a few options before deciding what you want. I first tried it back in March and it was so good that when I was leaving Ohio a few months later due to a new job, I went out of my way to make a stop here so I could get it one last time. All told, there is a reason Coppa Gelato is 5 stars all around. They do not disappoint! Definitely the go-to gelato spot in the Central Ohio area. read more

Great local gelateria. They have a great rotating selection of flavors, and always have a few different sorbetto options for dairy-free options. We've tried most of their flavors by now and have never been disappointed. Their gelato shakes are delicious for a treat (they have several scoops in them so come with an appetite). They also have great affogatos (two scoops of gelato with espresso). You can sample as many flavors as you'd like. Some of my favorites include pistachio, peach, toasted coconut, and mango sorbetto. The employees and owners are so friendly and patient. Definitely recommend stopping by and trying some gelato, sorbetto, and/or coffee. Great gelato and great staff. read more

June 2021 update: It was lovely sitting outside at a shady table, enjoying Coppa Gelato's creamy delicious gelato. I got a cup of triple chocolate and pistachio, and my husband got fragola (strawberry) and panna cotta (sweet Italian cream). Great flavor and texture! The current owners of Coppa Gelato got the recipes when they bought the business. The gelateria is clean and comfortable, and they offer contactless payments. For those who wish to avoid dairy, sorbetto is available. read more

Came here on a very hot day and it was delicious. I enjoyed what I got, I just wish it was a bit bigger or less expensive. I wanted to do a flight, but it was a bit much. I enjoyed their outdoor seating area and really liked the chill and cool atmosphere of the shop. I recommend this place for dessert, a causal date, a family outing, or just a sweet treat! I think this is a great place for for families and kids! I think it's a great treat and they make pretty unique flavors. I liked the pecan gelato I got, but I wanted to try their early grey gelato, but it wasn't the right months. Service was great, the employees were quick and helpful! You can try different flavors before you buy, so you can get what you like. There's plenty of parking spaces and spaces to sit for a small group inside and out. There are other places to eat and shop around the plaza as well. read more

We've been here several times and have always enjoyed their deserts, tea, coffee & hot chocolate. One of the best desert places in the neighborhood. Friday nights are obviously a bit busier. The best time to come is in the middle of the week. We have tried the conolis, the gelato bomb, the sorbetto and the gelato. The gelato bombs are amazing especially tasty with the lemon & strawberry sorbetto. The staff are helpful, efficient and friendly. read more

If you want a sweet treat that's gluten free this will be your new favorite place! Gelato originates from Italy and typical contains less butterfat than traditional ice cream. I have personally always preferred gelato over ice cream but in the Midwest gelato is not the easiest sweet treat to find. Yet, this shop does it right! The service is so nice and you are able to taste flavors before committing to any. The shop offers small medium and large cups as well as cones and pup cups! Pictured in the photo below is a small cup. Additionally they have coffee options as well as options to buy pints. I had to take one star off because I wish that all of the flavors were in stock but I also came at 8pm so maybe coming earlier in the day or night would be better! read more

Best place to stop in for an affogato. The espresso is perfect, not bitter. Try it with the panna cotta ice cream, it's so creamy and delicious. There is plenty of room to enjoy your sweet treat inside or outside or take it to go. They even offered little pup cups for free. read more

Coppa Gelato is great independent ice cream and gelato. It's not any more expensive than most chain stores. The selection is quite a variety. It has some standard flavors. There's also a few more exotic ones. I am stunned at all the sections they have. It has the regular gelatos, which are made with eggs and are the most popular. They also have dairy free sorbettos, if you need something vegan. It's about $3 for a cup. The quality is something like Jeni's. It's more affordable. The staff is pretty friendly. It probably is the best sorbetto in the area. It's an independent locally owned store, which is great. The store isn't open until later in the afternoon, and it's later for winter. read more

My wife and I went here a little over a month ago while on a weekend vacation in Columbus. I don't love desert, and ice cream isn't usually my first choice, but gelato is often a step up, and my wife really enjoys it. In any case, Coppa Gelato was delicious and reminded me of the beauty that is gelato. I believe we got three scoops between the two of us, though I got two half scoops to try more flavors. I can bourbon pecan and salty caramel, because I'm a sucker for both of those flavors (who isn't), and my wife got caffe mocha and toasted coconut, I think. Maybe not. Oh well. Every flavor was scrumdiddlyumptious. They were rich and thick, well-infused with their respective flavors. We specifically chose kinds that would mix well, and they were very tasty combined as well. The employees were all extremely polite, and though it's not the cheapest dessert, it's no more than you'd expect to pay for a quality ice cream/gelato (about the same price as Graeter's). Highly recommended. read more

So so so so good! Had gelato many times and have to say this is some of the best I've ever had.

Great Gelato. Friendly employees. Great selection of different flavors and can eat inside or outside.

Super impressed with this place!!! I have to be dairy-free with my new nutrition plan and Coppa did not disappoint. They had 4 sorbet flavors! When I'm not dairy-free, my favorite thing to get here are their flights. 4 different scoops of Gelato for $9. I LOVE testing out different flavors and this is the place to do it!! read more

Never complaint here! The interior is bright and clean. The selection of gelato and macaroons are always wonderful! I keep forgetting that they offer some cappuccinos and such here. They even have gelato cake!! I couldn't resist the stracciatella this time and it did not disappoint at all! We even got 1 of each of the macaroons, I mean how do you know which you might and possibly be your favorite if you don't try 1 of each???? Mine is vanilla and the pistachio. Looking for a place for a sweet but not guilty treat??? Pop in and take a look. You might find something you like. read more
