We got off the OLD TOWN TROLLEY TOUR, in Coronado to walk to the Hotel del Coronado. We walked from there to Gelato PARADISO. We walked through the houses, even walking by L. FRANK BAUM'S House. If you didn't know, he was the writer of the "Wizard of OZ." ITS A YELLOW HOUSE. We got to Gelato PARADISO. UNFORTUNATELY, they did not know how to use the COUPON in the OT Trolley Brochure. GELATO WAS DELICIOUS!!! I had Raspberry and Lemon. My Partner had a Strawberry-something Gelato. read more

The one gelato place that my kids and I will continue to come back to in Coronado because it has the best flavors and they have nice service but I will say it is always crowded. When love is they both have sorbet and also they have cream gelatos. Some places do not allow you to try flavors, but this one they still allow it. There are a variety of sizes that you can see in my picture and the smallest is about $6.50. It is expensive but pretty standard for location. read more

Gelato Paradiso - mango, passion fruit, guava - Gelato Near Me - Coronado, California

Flavor options were good. Had decent selection of vegan options. In the heart of the strip of businesses along Orange Ave. Parking was tough around 5pm. Service was friendly. Ambiance was nice, nothing special mainly just looking out at the other shops around. Felt very small inside. Overall, there's a lot of other options in the area that are similar. Affogato was very unappealing. I'd recommend going for the ice cream over it. Prices were a little expensive but everything in the area is very on par. Good but not great. ***3 Stars*** read more

Gelato Paradiso had quite the selection of fresh gelato. We were greeted, and shown the newest flavors of the week. The woman who helped us was patient as we tried nearly every flavor. I went with the mango flavor and it was the perfect blend of tart and sweet! The gelato is more on the pricey side but worth the price! They have indoor and outdoor seating with minimal decoration. read more

I got the mint chocolate chip and it was amazing When I was in Italy, a tour guide once told me to spot authentic gelato is to look at the mint chocolate chip and it should be a pale color . If it's bright green then it's just artificial colors and they are probably using the artificial coloring for all the flavors. Well Gelato Paradiso passed the test as it was pale green read more

Located in Coronado. Place was clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. So many flavors to choice from. What was great is that you can sample the flavors. That made it very helpful when choosing what you want. Got the shake, affogato, gelato, and sorbetto. All were good and enjoyed them all. Really liked the sorbetto flavors. Very refreshing. Only street parking. Be careful because it is along the main road. Can't wait to come back and try other flavors. read more

I once read that if a gelato place has more than a few flavors, to walk away because the gelato won't be very good. I am so glad that I completely disregarded that because Gelato Paradiso has several flavors and something for everyone's flavor palette. I have yet to find a flavor that I don't like, but the plum is always a top favorite. The staff is always very nice and offers samples of several flavors so that you can make sure you'll like what you end up choosing. The shop has outdoor seating, but is also in the perfect spot to eat your gelato while walking the main strip. read more

Must go to their shop in Coronado. I tried their gelato for the first time at the Yelp event. They had a little kiosk right when we entered the event. The gelato was rich, creamy and flavorful. It melted smoothly in my mouth. One of the best I've had. I had the caramel flavor. The scoopers were friendly and interacted well with the Yelpie crowds. Excited to stop by soon at their shop. read more

Came in recently for a fresh flavor of gelato and was pleasantly surprised by the help I received. I was unsure what to try when the gal behind the counter gave a few options that I might like. It was perfect !! Loved the flavor choices she suggested for myself and son that I decided to take a couple of pints home. Thank you so much Giana for your assistance and good recommendations. We will be visiting again soon! read more

One of the best gelato spots in town! We love coming to gelato paradiso for reliable tasty gelato with a ton of flavor options. Looking for fruity? They got you. Nutty? They got you there too. Pure sweetness? Done. Every flavor has been absolutely perfectly balanced. They have a ton of flavor options, and can add up to 4 flavors in one cup/cone! The staff is always so friendly and there are several cafe tables outside that you can eat at, or alternatively, it's a short walk to The Del or to the ferry landing. If you're looking for a quality gelato spot in SD and want somewhere with ample parking and lots of walkable activities, look no further! read more

This place is great! They have so many flavors of gelato! They also serve shakes and cakes, etc.. I got a cup of banana and coconut. Both tasted super fresh, like they are made with real fruit! No artificial flavor at all. Service was super nice too! Greeted as soon as we walked in, and served with a smile. A cute bright spot with plenty of seating! I will definitely be back to try more flavors! read more

Came here with friends after lunch and had a wonderful experience! Service was friendly and allowed us to sample flavors. I ended up getting mango gelato in a cup while my husband ordered a cup of lemon and raspberry. The texture was smooth and tasted wonderful. Had a great time eating them while walking and enjoying the architecture of the houses. read more

I'd you're looking for the best ice cream in Coronado this is the spot. Gelato snobs will tell me gelato isn't ice cream but it's cold and creamy and can be put on a cup or cone, it's ice cream. We walked in and the young man behind the counter said we could try samples of any flavors. You can pick up to four flavors per cup but we settled on blackberry chocolate chip and cherry. And the serving size is quite generous, we were able to share one! There is seating out front and the store was clean and brightly lit that evening. Their gelatos are displayed so beautifully behind the glass, each one looking like a work of art. read more

Best little Gelato store on the Coronado main strip. Together we had: s'mores gelato, espresso gelato, vanilla gelato, and cookie dough gelato. All four were absolutely wonderful. Can't pick a favorite; although our group unanimously liked the vanilla. The service was great! My only regret is I forgot to get both server's name for this review. read more

Cute shop with indoor/outdoor seating. Nice staff. Clean store. And most importantly yummy, creamy small batch gelato. The best part?...they have my favorite flavor nocciola!!! I'm melting read more

Saw this place as we drove down to the Hotel Del. Looked cute from the outside and later as we walked up it smelled incredible. Like fresh waffle cones with a hint of orange. They have THREE cases of gelato and sorbet. Be sure to look at all the cases before choosing your flavors. I made the mistake of only looking at the two cases and by the time I got to the third case, I already chose my four flavors. So sad! The chocolate with strawberries sounded divine. So a small, you could get 3 flavors. And for one dollar more you could get a large which you can get 4 flavors. And this isn't your average place, they pack that cup FULL with your flavors. Amazing! So generous. The flavors don't taste artificial in any way. I had the mango, blackberry chip, espresso, and salted caramel. The espresso wasn't super strong but it was still yummy. All of them were so creamy. Not icy and not flavorless. I think my favorite would be the blackberry chip. It lowkey reminded me of the Talenti version! My dad would have loved this. My aunt let me try her pistachio and it tasted really good. The flavor was spot on, the color wasn't that horrible artificial green. It was a bit 'salty' but in the best way possible. I loved it! I'm definitely coming back to try other flavors. Maybe it will make me feel like I'm in Italy again. Hopefully the banana is a good one! They also have affogato, coffee drinks, etc! The large was about $7.25 which I thought was a great price because you can get 4 flavors in it! I highly recommend this place. Come try it out and you won't regret it! read more

For me, variety is everything. So being able to get up to four flavors in one cup is *chef's kiss* amazing. But if the smell of the cone is too much to resist, you can also get up to three flavors in a cone. They've got a great variety of sorbets and gelatos. Besides your typical favorites, they also have specials. When we recently went, this meant a s'mores flavored gelato! Gelato here is very smooth and creamy. Perfect for a hot summer day! read more

Haven't been here in a few years and quality has not changed, still as good as ever! Their gelato flavors are very flavorful and perfectly creamy. My fave flavors continue to be blackberry stracciatela and Espresso. They have classic flavors as well as more unique flavors like the blackberry stracciatela and chocolate covered strawberries. Staff is friendly and you're allowed to get multiple samples which is appreciated. There are a few seats and tables outside. If you can't find Parking on Orange Ave, we usually find parking on 10th. read more

When craving Gilato one must come to Gilato Paradiso located in beautiful Coronado, California! I must admit you have to be patient to find parking but it's well worth it! Upon walking in the door, I observed the ambiance is inviting and pleasing! It reminds me of a cute little Gilato Shop that would be found somewhere in Italy! I am a huge lover of Gilato so of course I was happy to be here! I saw so many flavors of Gilato all decorated so pretty! They all looked like delicious works of art! I finally chose to make my selection which was Pineapple on a waffle cone! The girl behind the counter was very friendly greeting everyone who walked in the door with a hello and smile. She gave me a big scoop to fit the waffle cone which I was happy about. It was refreshing loaded with lots of tart pineapple flavor so I loved it. Whether you are a visitor to Coronado or you are fortunate to reside here, come to Gelato Paradiso! The name fits this place perfectly because you feel like you have escaped to the Mediterranean somewhere in Italy living your best life! I am coming back a lot! Love!!!! read more
