    Coffee & Cream
    Michelle F.

    We came here after a hot day for some cool delicious relief after having dinner with my family. We were very impressed at the selection of flavors and the quality of the gelato. I had the chocolate decadence and my fiancé had the coffee flavored one. We both agree it was very rich, so a small amount goes a long way but the line was consistently long because everyone knows this is best ice cream shop in the area, and we agree. Everyone was so nice and were served with kindness and efficiency to keep the line moving. If you know what flavor you want, they also have pre packaged cartons in the freezer next to the check out as well to save time.

    Had to stop by to try the new Brick Batter which is cake batter with m&m + sprinkles, it was delicious. Service was quick, they still have the most flimsy containers in my opinion.. but overall ice cream is good! Sample until you find your favorite flavor

    Nothing beats the feeling of indulging in a yummy ice cream cup/cone with the added pleasure of sipping a creamy milkshake. It's the perfect combination for a fun and sweet treat that's sure to make any day better! My friends and I swung by here after eating at CAVA (just a few doors down) and it was absolutely amazing! I ordered the "chocolate party" milkshake and my friend got the "birthday cake" small cup. Chocolate party - chocolate ice cream with m&ms and brownie bites. There's many flavors to choose from. If you aren't too sure on what flavor(s) you would like, you can always ask for a sample! The few staff members that were in there, were super sweet and acknowledged us when we came inside. Since it's nice out today, we sat outside and enjoyed the weather and yummy ice cream!

    What can I say...love Gelati Celeste and so glad they finally have a location near me now. I could literally walk. The establishment has both indoor and outside seating available. Nice cool colors for the decor. I love the placement cards with the flavors clearly noted. I love they allow to sample the flavors before purchasing. They have a variety of flavors but I believe Just Ask is probably my favorite the oreo ice cream and chunks of peanut butter... yum! You can get milkshakes, ice cream cookies, and pies. Customer service is always on point, staff is always friendly and patient while deciding what deliciousness you will leave with. I've been before but realized I've never wrote a review but if you haven't gone to try the peach pecan pie and Sicilian pistachio... you are truly missing out

    Noms. In town for a wedding and my friend and I had dinner nearby. We both have a major sweet tooth so we saw this as we passed on the way to dinner and planned to hit it up before heading back to our hotels. When we arrived at around 8:30pm there was a line inside almost out to the door - probably 15 or so people in front of us. The line moved pretty quickly though and the store had plenty of staff taking care of people - about 5 people scooping. They have a large range of signature (all the time) flavors as well as rotating special flavors listed at the bottom in chalk. I sampled pralines and cream and coffee and cream and couldn't choose between them so went with a small 2-scoop cup of both. It was packed with ice cream and the flavors went so well together I was in heaven. We sat outside at the tables and my friend enjoyed her Strawberry Lavender in a waffle cone - she was disappointed that it was 98% strawberry 2% lavender but said the waffle cone was good and fresh. The line stayed consistently to the door throughout our time there but it moved very quickly. Great location just off the main road with plenty of parking and right beside a Starbucks location.

    Whenever we're in the mood for some ice cream, it's not a surprise that we will be having Gelati Celesti! The ice cream here is absolutely amazing. We do have our favorites, but each flavor we have tried here is delicious. My favorite is the Cookies and Cream and my husband favorite is "just ask". They also have a food truck, which is awesome to enjoy during the summer! Overall Score: 10/10 Location: Convenient 10/10 Prices: Reasonable 9/10 Customer Service: Great 9/10 Food: Delicious 10/10 Recommended

    If you want a delish sweet treat welp look no further. They have arrived! The service was great and you can try flavors if you are unsure. It's a small on the outside but large in the inside. They have a chalk wall wheee you can draw or leave messages on your way out. My favorite flavor is the butter pecan. The butter pecan is rich and creamy! You need to try this place because you are going to love it!!

    When gelati celesti announced that they were coming to swift creek, I was so excited! Back in the days when I actually went somewhere to work, I would take a break and pop over to the short pump location. Now that I'm working from home, I'm not trying to drive all over town so the timing of this location could not have been better. The new spot is super cute like all the others, great customer service, and most importantly....AMAZING ICE CREAM. I went the other evening to try out some holiday flavors and got eggnog with gingerbread and then a separate cup of the chocolate orange decadence. All were delicious but the chocolate orange decadence stole the show. It was so rich and packed with orange flavor. It tasted exactly like those chocolate oranges you can buy this time of

    Rum Raisin Ice Cream
    Tammi J.

    I visited Gelati today for the first time and was truly impressed with all the different flavors of ice cream they had. I settled on my favorite rum raisin, which was delicious. I will be visiting them again, maybe monthly not weekly like I would prefer. The attendee was extremely friendly and welcoming. You have got to try this place.

    I wish there was a location closer to us back home!!! Maybe it's for the best as I would probably end up going daily. Ordered: 2 scoops in a cup one of just ask (has peanut butter and Oreo in it) and salted caramel. Both were amazing!! Absolutely go! Each flavor label also gives info to help those that have any food allergies which I find really resourceful and considerate. Cute decor and can't argue with the quote on the wall. Kind staff. Due to covid they are currently not doing samples. Very spacious indoor. All wearing masks.

It's…read moredefinitely a place you can easily walk to considering there are many apartments nearby and an area where many VCU students are seen. There is some off-street parking, but depending on when you go, it might be hard to find. There is a private parking lot across the street which would be ideal if they allowed us to park there. Maybe Bruster's can strike a deal. This place is set up for you to walk up to a window. It is very secured behind a glass. The menu is up top and you place your order and wait for your name to be called. There are some benches around the establishment to sit and enjoy your ice-cream. Let me say, the employees are all very nice. Good customer service. This was my first visit. The cashier was friendly. I ordered a banana split which comes with 3 scoops of ice-cream. I was able to change the usually vanilla, chocolate and strawberry scoop to a scoop of Gooey Birthday Cake, Mint Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. It also came with chocolate syrup, pineapples, strawberries, cherries, pretzel stick and whip cream. You can ask for caramel syrup and sprinkles too. On my first visit, I paid full price for the banana split. On my second visit, I came on a Thursday because if you bring a banana, the banana split is half price, so it's $5. It was delicious! The pics with the sprinkles is from my first visit. Definitely go check them out.

It seems like there is always a new flavor when we go. They have vegan options too. The staff is nice and relatively quick. The picnic/seating area is outside and has become a nice place for families. The rewards program is my favorite. We get a free $5 every once in a while because we go so often. They also have lots of coupons floating around.

    Dearest gentle yelpers…read more.. This reviewer and her whole family have been on pins and needles waiting for season 17 to open! Their frozen custard is absolutely amazing. The cones are stacked a mile high making the Empire State Building miniaturized in comparison. Ok, I might be slightly over exaggerating , but for real, their larges are not for the faint of heart. I ordered the nachos today which comes with two sides ( I chose sprinkles and hot fudge) and waffle chips. I was so excited I could barely contain myself and it was just as I remember it. So delightful. The service is always fun and friendly. You won't be disappointed Yours truly, The Duchess of Delicacy

    I've always enjoyed the custard here, but the management has a serious "scarcity mindset" problem…read more I spent $73 for my staff, and when my wife arrived shortly after we received our order to make a separate purchase, they refused to punch our loyalty card a second time. When I reached out, the owner told me the "one punch per day" rule exists to stop people from passing cards around in line to get a free item. To treat a customer who just spent $70+ like they are trying to "scam" the business out of a single punch is insulting. He mentioned that they've had the same rules for 17 years, and it shows--they'd rather "win" a $4 loyalty punch than keep a high-value customer. Plenty of other places in the area value their regulars more than this.
