Staff was very apathetic & seemed to have no joy in their job. My husband ordered a Nutella flavor which didn't taste like any Nutella we have ever had. My watermelon was very lightly flavored but wasn't a natural watermelon taste. My daughter had blackberry that tasted like soap & strawberry that was just mild. Nothing special about the gelato & there are way better ice cream places in Fairport. We will not be back. read more

Staff was very nice. They have a delicious selection of gelato, sorbet, and smoothies. The outdoor seating out front is very nice and it is in a cute location. read more

Royal Cafe - Strawberry smoothie, lemon gelato. Chicken from the fairport canal days fest is not from here - Gelato Near Me - Fairport, New York

Looking for something different than the ice cream stores in the village of Fairport? Then this is your place! Royal cafe is a delightful little purveyor of gelato along the newly renovated foot and bike path passing through the village. The store is tidy, there is pleasant outdoor seating, the employees are very nice and the gelato... Well, it's a refreshing change from ice cream. So many unique flavors! You'll never go wrong with ice cream but sometimes change, even temporary change, is fun. Come to the Royal Cafe and taste a bit Italy right in Fairport! read more

Gelato is on point here! They have a solid selection of flavors with something for everyone. I got Oreo, Sea Salt Caramel and S'mores. The small is 3 small scoops and they have the medium and large on display to show you what you're getting. Prices seemed reasonable for such delicious gelato. There was no one there when we arrived so service was very fast and easy. There are a few tables inside, that mostly fit 2 people with extra seating outside that can fit larger groups of 4 to 6 if you want or need. Enjoy! read more

Sinfully delicious gelato! You can't see it but there's a scoop of insane chocolate underneath that peanut butter and chocolate! It was so dark looking I was afraid it would be too much. I was wrong. Should've gotten two scoops of each. Someone came in behind us and ordered espresso with chocolate. I think I have to go back and try it! read more

Royal Cafe - Medium $5.95 = 4 scoops - Gelato Near Me - Fairport, New York

We tried this place for the first time last week. We will be back! I love that even with a small dish, you can select 3 flavors. If it isn't too hot, it would be nice to sit outside. We chose inside the day we went as outside was in direct sun. Service was friendly. Before or after you have some gelato or sorbet, Fairport is a really nice town for a walk. As I said, we will be back. I highly recommend this place. I had the Chocolate orange, Lemon and Tart Cherry. My husband had the Tiramisu, Hazelnut and Chocolate Hazelnut. read more

My sister and I visited this cafe, we wanted a light lunch. The homemade chicken soup was incredible. She added a homemade cornbread. The chocolate gelato was the perfect ending. This cafe is a hidden treasure!!! read more

Love their gelato! The flavor is incredible. All of the flavors taste super authentic and it's creamy! You can choose how many scoops you would like and can get a different flavor for each scoop. They also have excellent baklava. Personally I feel like this cafe is a hidden gem not enough people know about. read more

This place is amazing! The gelato is absolutely fabulous and location is nice outdoor seating. Even the displays of the gelato are gorgeous! Can't recommend this place enough! I wish they still had the coconut cake! read more

A refreshing treat, after a nice evening along the canal. Perfect location, good prices, and good gelato. What more do you need? I Tried the mint gelato, as well as the Madagascar vanilla - the mint was good, but the vanilla was the shining star. Next time I'm in town, I will definitely stop by again to get some, and enjoy the beautiful area. read more

Love this place! Their gelato is the best and they offer some tasty & unique flavors!

The owner and his mother are always very friendly and ready to let you sample. The Gelato and Sorbet always fresh and refreshing. After our less than five star dinner at an upscale chain known for their desserts, stopping by here was balm for the soul and the taste buds. They never disappoint. If you're in the village and want a sweet refreshing treat, stop in. Oh, they do some sandwiches, wraps, smoothies and baked treats, too. read more

The gelato is the best I've had in a while. The customer service is great and right on the Erie Canal. There is a patio are right next to it so you can sit there. Overall would recommend this place read more

You have to go this place for the Sundae Spaghetti alone! It's a cozy little cafe in the Village of Fairport. In warmer months they have seating out front. It's the perfect spot to grab some gelato and then stroll the canal. read more

I love Gelato, and this is now my new favorite place! Location: it's a small shop off a main street so it can easily be missed. But if you ride along the canal you can't miss this place. There's a large parking lot that's shared with the business around, so parking is not an issue. The business is small, with a couple of indoor tables but there's space outdoors with a great view. Food: OMG- it was soooo good. My husband and I shared the spaghetti Gelato-it had homemade brownie bits, vanilla gelato, whipped cream, homemade strawberry sauces, and chocolate sauce. It was so good! The favors were fresh and light. People: the owner was so nice, she served us with a smile and made sure that everything tasted great! This is my new favorite place and i will be coming back again with friends. read more

This place has the best gelato I have ever eaten! I have never had a bad experience here and the family who owns this spot are all very nice. I will continue to come back as long as I can! The gelato is all made in house by the family who can tell you about the different flavors. I am gluten free and have never had a problem with the gelato, as I stay away from the obvious gluten flavors ie, oreo. read more

We visited the Villiage of Fairport every year - and Sasik hasn't changed... i could imagine after a while people asking to try different flavors of your product could get on your nerves - but your in a business that invites this, you have to expect it; this is not a business that you snap at people when they ask to try a certain flavor - i think Sasik may need to look for another type of profession or keep himself in the back of the house owner. This is our last time our family will visit the Royal Cafe - unless you want to experience a Seinfeld episode "no sample for you" "buy one cup you get three flavors - keep your spoon"! read more

Best local Italian gelato & lemon ice this side of the river. My fave flavor is Tiramisu. Also home of the popular spaghetti ice cream sundae. Excellent customer service - they are happy to provide a few sample tastes if you can't decide which one to get a dish of. Fantasic soups in the winter! read more

This is NOT gelato. It's icy and flavorless. There's no denying that it's a cold dessert - but it's just expensive scoops of ice milk. The people serving it and eating it apparently never leave Fairport and experience real gelato or this place would close tomorrow. We tried 4 flavors and none were worth finishing. read more

Awesome place in beautiful Fairport. After walking around we came across this place and wow I am glad we did. Excellent gelato. The salted caramel was out of this world! The gentleman serving the gelato was also very friendly which is always a good thing! I will definitely be going here again! read more

This is a cute little place. Sets back off the road a little, but has some great food items for a quick lunch. Healthy items. They have a sign for Homemade Soup. Then they have Smoothies & Gelato. I got the Oreo Cookie & Creme Bruise gelato. It was good. They had a lot of flavors. I will go back again because I know it can be 5 Stars for the gelato. It is the slow time. Gelato is not exactly a winter hot spot. I imagine when the town of Fairport has a lot of foot traffic in the summer, this place will be packed. Its been there 12 yrs the owner said. A little passed the canal bridge. Have to find this place if you haven't already. The owner was lovely. Side Note-- I didn't try it, but I'm going to next time. They have a Gelato Spaghetti Sundae. This was so clever. Thye put the gelato thru a pressure to make it thin like spaghetti, strawberry sauce like red sauce & brownie pieces in fudge to look like meatballs. They even grate white chocolate to look like grated cheese. So clever and unique to here. I'll be back for that. read more

Another jewel. This place is like home. You go, they know you, they cook, they serve you and everyone is happy. They always have the best soups! The gelato is freshly made everyday. They change the flavors from time to time, too. read more

This guy makes it himself in the back.... its insanely good And very friendly, near the Erie Canal to walk around afterwards. Amazingly lovely place read more

I was so glad to find a good fresh made cappuccino. Delicious. The soup was hot and fresh!

Tonight we went there for a fun family outing. All 8 of us bought gelato and spent alot of money. While we were eating the gelato, my husband was hungry and went down the road to get a Philly cheese steak. About 10 minutes later, my husband came back in the store with his food to sit with us. He was told by the manager to leave. Not nicely either. He said we can't have outside food in the establishment. If that's a health law, we would have liked to seen this law. However, the manager did not even speak to us further, but went in the back and hid. The whole family left angry and unwanted. Not to mention we thought the gelato was watery and flavorless. We'll never go back again. read more

This place has the best gelato...So fresh...and not overly sweet. A true secret in the canal area.

The gelato is great! But nothing beats the costumer service! Sasik is one amazing man who is always enjoying his work! His gelato is the best in all of Rochester area! Not to mention his bachleva is to DIE FOR!!! Defiantly recommend!!! :) read more

So glad I found this place. Truly excellent gelato in classic flavors, served in small scoops so you can mix 3 to 5 flavors. ($3.50 for three scoops, about a half cup, $5 for four scoops, etc.) read more
