Holy wow - this is the best gelato and sorbetto I've had in America! It's on par with the gelatos I had in Morocco, Spain, and Greece. There are lots of flavor options, and the portion sizes are reasonable. You can try a couple flavors without getting a quart of gelato like some ice cream shops serve as a double scoop (lol). The waffle cone was one of the best I've ever had. The vegan options are equally delicious as the dairy gelato. I had both, and honestly I would have been super satisfied with either option! I chose the vegan pineapple passion fruit and the strawberry and cream gelato. My husband had the peanut butter swirl gelato in a cup. I'm hoping to go back on my way out of town! read more

Latella Gelato is located on the Carolina Beach Boardwalk and the perfect place for a tasty treat. Service is friendly and there are an assortment of gelato flavors that change daily as well as other treats like cookies. I went with the mango lime flavor and enjoyed it out on the boardwalk but there is some inside seating in the shop too. The gelato is good but I've had better. The location and service are great though. read more

This was our first time here! it was a Sunday afternoon and it was busy. We were helped right away and allow you to sample the gelato ( 2 per person) We ordered the vegan salted caramel in a cup, coffee espresso and a chocolate chip in a waffle cone. They have gelato with alcohol! I will hopefully come back and try them out! The place was pretty clean. They have other items on the menu; they have cold and hot drinks, candy and chocolate. They also have a small section with items that you can purchase. The have some tables inside and outside. Be prepared to pay 4% fee if you pay with a credit card. It was a nice comfy place and the decor matched the theme at being at the beach! read more

In the mood for a cool satisfying drink along the lines of a Vegan protein smoothie/shake, I find Latella Gelato along the boardwalk and happily buy a Vegan protein smoothie/shake. The "Pink One" is satisfying, not grainy, smooth, and cool for a hot/warm time. Customer service is helpful and kind. The establishment offers more than consumables. Chill Light Artsy Beach Vibes! read more

Latella Gelato - The "Pink One" w/ Vegan Protein - Gelato Near Me - Carolina Beach, North Carolina

Super cute spot on the boardwalk with delicious flavors. Watermelon lime was our favorite. The service was great and they have a bathroom for customers. Will definitely be back next time we're at Carolina Beach! read more

Delicious!!! Friendly service and cute store. The bins of gelato are even decorated cute depending on the flavor/theme. We tried the mermaid cake (kind of like birthday cake) and the cherry cheesecake(?) - I believe is what it was. Fair pricing for how good it tastes. It melts FAST so beware when walking outside with it in kids hands! read more

Location, service, space, & flavors were amazing! One of the nicer options - clean with restrooms. The flavor combos sounded so good, I left double fisting it since I couldn't narrow it down! My personal favorite. read more

Great gelato on the Carolina Beach Boardwalk! They post their daily flavors on Instagram. Each person can sample 2 flavors. I got the tiramisu and it was really good. It was really creamy and refreshing after being at the beach for hours. read more

Latella Gelato - Small tiramisu gelato - Gelato Near Me - Carolina Beach, North Carolina

Right on the boardwalk in Carolina Beach. Gelato and coffee are the main players here. Lots of flavors of gelato to choose from, including vegan options. I don't give a crap about vegan gelato but some folks probably appreciate it. Full coffee menu like you would see at a typical coffee shop. Primarily indoor seating but they do have some seats outside. They were advertising wine gelato when we were there but it appeared to be a special thing and not something offered all the time. Perhaps next time when we are there. read more

Got the Berry Blast smoothie with Lemon Gelato and Whipped Cream. Simply heavenly after an afternoon the beach. I am concerned with how sweet it tastes but eh, you gotta live a little sometimes. Either way, the fresh fruit and gelato balances itself out in the end. Highly recommend this combo read more

My hubby and I had the pineapple basil gelato today with the salted caramel chocolate cookie dough stacked on top of one another in a waffle cone. THE BEST. The owner is also super friendly. She said just call ahead and ask for any special requests and she'd make them up for us! ABOVE AND BEYOND read more

This spot caught our eye out of all the ice cream/gelato stores on the boardwalk. We tasted several samples but we ultimately decided on strawberry guava, banana pudding, and cookies n chocolate. Including the samples, all the flavors were delicious! read more

I am honestly confused why this spot is so well rated. The gelato is okay, not great. The flavors are fine- more weird than actually enticing. My gelato was nice but not good enough to actually finish the whole thing. My husband threw his milkshake away almost immediately- it tasted like iced milk. Maybe that's what he gets for ordering a milkshake though. Convenient location, nice staff, 3/5 gelato read more

Such a fun place! They have a wide selection of gelato from the usual chocolate and vanilla to blueberry lavender and white chocolate mocha. The two at the front were so kind and helpful with our many requests to sample the flavors. The ice cream bins under the glass had such appetizing additions we couldn't resist trying nearly all of them. They have the option to spike your gelato with wine, along with spiked coffee options and wine slushees as well. My fiancé got the watermelon (interesting choice in my opinion, but he loved it on the hot day) and To his surprise - when I didn't opt for chocolate, my usual go-to - I got lemon cookie. His had bits of fresh watermelon in it, and mine had lemon cookie bits. They were so yummy! We will be back for sure. read more

We luckily found this boardwalk gem minutes before they closed for the night The staff couldn't be nicer, happier and helpful We both tried two samples; key line, raspberry, Oreo, and mint Oreo and key lime won the contest- superb. While unusual for gelato, don't judge! It was like a soft key lime pie melting in my mouth Must go read more

For a nice cool treat at the beach this is the place to stop. The assortment of flavors this little shop offers is impressive. The gelato is very good quality and quite good, the serving sizes are large enough to fill you up and then some so consider that when ordering. This is a busy place in the summer, you can ask for a sample of any flavor prior to purchasing. read more

I'd be here every day if I were local! I had the pineapple mango sorbetto in a waffle cone and it was so deliciously refreshing! Craving it now. If you are on the boardwalk, make sure you stop here. read more

So good that my husband and I went twice on vacation! They have unique flavors that change each day and are really authentic and delicious. Very nice workers, too!! read more

One of the ONLY places in Carolina Beach that seemed strict about masking up during the pandemic. We were otherwise surprised by no businesses wearing a mask while serving food / drinks at the boardwalk. So Kudos to Latella! We really appreciated that. Their gelato was DELICIOUS. I got a small one but instantly regretted it, because the banana one was insanely good that I could have ate 5x that amount. We all couldn't stop talking about it, it was creamy, not too sweet, with lots of flavor. Greatly surpassed my expectations. We will definitely return. What a gem. read more

Omg This stuff is so good . Tried a sample and had to buy some. Alot of flavors . YUM. And the guys working very nice. Will come back next time . read more

Really great service. They were helpful and sweet. Ice cream was excellent. Great stop among the many ice cream shops on the boardwalk.

5 stars for delicious, creamy, vegan gelato! It's hard to find places with good quality vegan ice cream treats (or any vegan options at all, for that matter) and I was really happy to have multiple choices here! I sampled peach and salted caramel, both amazing!! Ended up going with the salted caramel. Staff was friendly and quick despite it being a really busy night with the fireworks and whatnot. read more

Delicious gelato spot. Very tough to beat this dessert place! Flavors are always changing and I haven't had a bad choice yet. Reasonable portions here. read more

I'm so glad we wandered into this gelato spot after my daughter enjoyed her free sample on the boardwalk! The people were so friendly and helpful, and generous with their samples. My husband opted for a cookies and cream, my daughter enjoyed vanilla (her favorite flavor of all ice creams, frostings, cakes), and OMG... the COOKIE BUTTER. I saw that as an option, had a taste, and YEP, that's the one! I'm still thinking about it a week after being at CB. That stuff is amazing! If you're a fan of cookie butter, try it here (fingers crossed they'll have it next time I'm in CB too!): deliciously creamy cookie butter gelato with bits of cookie too. So good! The shop itself is clean too. That can be tricky in a sweet shop that lots of little kiddos may wander into, but nothing was sticky when we were there. Clean, bright, big windows, friendly service. A definite gem of the CB Boardwalk! read more

Fabulous! Quick service and creamy deliciousness. The vegan gelato doesn't taste vegan! I especially loved the dark chocolate!

Vegan raspberry gelato is AMAZING!!!! The kids love it here and they have lots of different options . Would def tell anyone who's on the beach to try it . On the boardwalk with great views read more

This place is so good! I expected the gelato to taste great but once I tried it I was blown away. This place has a unique variety of flavors. The staff was very friendly and sweet. This place has gelato, hot/iced coffee, milkshakes and vegan AND gluten free free options!! read more

It's so nice to have a place that has vegan options. The flavors here are amazing. If you decide to go here for a special treat, you will not be sorry. Everything is very well cared for. I specifically had the strawberry rose wine smoothie. It was amazing. Not overly sweet, and the perfect blend of ingredients. This place deserves five stars. read more

Try the Almond Joy. Help was great. Very friendly. Vegan, gluten free Worth the treat

Latella was a great hidden gem during a rainstorm after a nice walk along the water. Originally we went there to escape the rain, but the gelato called our names. I loved the chocolate gelato and my friends loved the blueberry. The place was clean (cleanest shop on the boardwalk!) and the staff was friendly so really couldn't ask for much better. I'd be curious to try the wine gelato that they offer on Saturdays and Sundays. read more

Like many hidden gems in Carolina Beach, and Wilmington, this is shockingly good. The quality is high -- and not unlike some seaside spots in Italy, despite being one of many little holes-in-the-wall in Carolina Beach selling frozen treats. I think I do actually believe their claim of making it in-house. Also, they are open when the others are closed -- like a true quality business, they appreciate having customers! read more

such a gem. this place was adorable, beachy, and delicious. being allergic to dairy and gluten, it's hard to find yummy ice cream that i can eat. they had an amazing vegan, gluten free chocolate chip cookie dough gelato. sooooo delicious. my family loved their sorbet, ice cream, and gelato flavors. very reasonably priced. i can't wait to be back in the area, just to stop by. read more
