Yes, it's a pricey gelato shop, but the quality makes it worth every penny. Understandably, not everyone wants to pay almost $10 for 2 scoops of gelato or an ice pop. But I also think it's important to include that this isn't a basic, regular, run-of-the-mill indulgence. These decadent, house-made gelatos are absolutely delicious, refreshing, and IMHO, priced correctly for the quality of ingredients used, which can be tasted. I was so impressed by the flavor combinations! We were given the option to combine two flavors of gelato in the same cup, which was a fun way to try a couple of options. We tried (and loved!) the Mango Sorbet, the Wild Strawberry Swirl gelatos, along with a Strawberry Kiwi pop. Most of the pops were made with real chunks of fruit, which I loved seeing. The Wild Strawberry Swirl was the crowd favorite. The presentation and the kindness of the staff working the counter were also lovely. I loved the shop's location, making our post-dinner stroll on the beach with gelato in hand a delicious spring break memory! read more

This is a cute gelato and ice cream shop by the beach near the Hotel Del in Coronado. It was more on the expensive side but we were staying at the hotel and looking for something to use our room credit on and this ended up being perfect because we could charge to the room. They had no problem splitting the small and putting the two scoops in separate cups which was nice for us since we wanted two different flavors that we didn't want to melt together The quality was good! Very delicious and a yummy treat that was perfect for a hot day out on the beach. I saw some really cute looking ice cream popsicles too that I would love to try next time I'm back. There was a small line but it went pretty fast and I enjoyed looking at all the decor like the cute ice cream cone light fixtures. There's also a big popsicle ice cream statue outside the shop you can take a selfie with. It's a small space but the beach beyond is vast and it's easy to stroll and eat at the same time. Overall a really fun stop! I love how much food and amenities in near the Hotel Del and this did not disappoint! read more

Super delicious gelato at the Del. A much better deal than getting dessert in one of their sitdown restaurants, and you can sit outside and eat it and enjoy the same view after. They don't allow tastes but you can get two flavors in a small. I got the apple pie and Belgian dark chocolate and both were delicious. The portions did not look that big but it was very filling, almost too much in a small. Highly recommended if you're hanging out at the Del - or an incentive to come spend the day here, even though parking is not cheap! read more

The service was fantastic and the paleta are to die for. The girls behind the counter gave me a full rundown of why they love each flavor then offered to douse my mango chamoy with extra tajin and chamoy. Several people stopped me on the way to the beach to ask what I was eating and where I got it. Grab a treat and head to the beach for a sunset. read more

Service is nice for this walk through dessert shop. It's pricey but the popsicles and the gelato hit the spot.

Best dessert at the Del in this cute little gelato shop. They have a lot of flavors and they sell gelato popsicles. I enjoyed their mint chip! They always have a long line but it goes fast. They'll let you sample only two gelatos. That helps the line move. read more

This place is always very busy, and only 2 people were working for the long line of people that were waiting. Gelato is fine, but nothing great. And they had no tastings available that day. I thought it was just that one day they were understaffed but based on the reviews, seems to be an actual problem. Understaffed place with average, overpriced gelato. I'd recommend stopping by only if you happen to be in Hotel Del and is a week day. read more

Sundaes at the del was such a tasty treat! We were walking around and visiting Coronado island and hotel on a warm day and wanted some ice cream! This place was the perfect place for that! I ordered two flavors and got the birthday cake and Madagascar vanilla. The hubby ordered the cookies and Creme and Madagascar vanilla. I wish the prices were a little less but for the area it makes sense. The staff was nice. I wish there was seats inside but we stood in a shady spot and enjoyed our ice cream! read more

How does this place only have 3.5 stars?! I am shocked. I had the gelato here for the first time yesterday. Omg, it might be the best gelato I've ever had in San Diego. It has the perfect balance of sweetness, high quality ingredients, texture, everything! I shared a small cup with my toddler. We got two scoops; one dark German chocolate and lemon cake. WOW. My taste buds were so happy. The German chocolate was extremely rich, I don't think I'd order it again, but it was good!! The lemon cake was to die for. There were pieces of lemon cake in it. It was moist, tasty, I'll be dreaming about this one for a while. Hahha. I didn't take any pictures. But the shop itself is tiny . The employees are very friendly. 10 out of 10 recommend!! read more

My chocolate chip ice cream was delicious. My friends and I came on a Saturday. They only had 2 employees working so the line was very long. We waited a good 30 mins to get ice cream. They need to have a full staff on a a Saturday so that the wait isn't that long. The 2 workers were also taking their time to serve. Overall the ice cream was delicious just the wait time was the downfall. read more

Loved it! We were there on the busiest night ever ! Saturday dec 13th . I think half of San Diego county was there haha, but! The staff was on point! They were so friendly to us and to my nephews who picked out too very cute ice cream pops, one Cookie Monster themed, and then immediately changed their minds and asked for something with sprinkles. Thank you for your patience. Loved the ice cream! Creamy and tasty. read more

Sorry not sorry for the melted ice cream pic. My husband went to pick up ice cream for us while our toddler was blissfully napping on the beach under the comfort of an umbrella and I was on watch duty. It was a hot San Diego summery day. The ice cream line was long, but my husband was smart enough to ask the workers to put the scooped ice cream into the freezer while he waited in the second equally slow line to pay. And then he trekked back to our little spot of heaven on the beach. Even though the ice cream was partially melted by the time it reached me, it was sweet and creamy. Not the best ice cream I've had, and per my husband the service was so so. But there really aren't many options for nearby ice cream to enjoy while at Coronado Beach, so this did the job. We enjoyed our sweet treat on the beach while our toddler was tuckered out. read more

We have been here twice. Most recent visit has been the least pleasant. Their gelato pops are good but way too overpriced. The oreo gelato pop is the best and tastes really good dipped in chocolate with white chocolate drizzle. You are limited to 2 samples per person if you want to try out their gelato. The staff here is very unfriendly. They rush you to try the samples and order your items. I have to knock them down a star because of that. It's just dessert, you can take the time to make the customers feel welcomed.. read more

The ice cream was already melting as it was being scooped into the cup, which was disappointing. The service was lacking--none of the staff smiled or made us feel welcome. On top of that, $8.50 for just two small scoops felt ridiculously overpriced. The ice cream wasn't even creamy. Overall, not worth it--I won't be coming back. read more

Love that they had a quick treat at the shops! The gelato is expected to be overpriced!! A small starts at $9, but you get two flavors, I got the coconut and cherry chocolate flavor. It was perfect for a nice sunny day out in SD. The line was about 10-15 minutes on a Saturday with only 3 workers. Def expect a wait and steep prices. But overall yummy! read more

Who's doesn't eat ice cream in the cold?! I forsure do and it was totally worth it. This ice cream shop is located inside the Hotel Del Coronado. It's perfect for grabbing a treat before or after spending time near the water. I tried the Smores gelato with milk chocolate drizzle in a cup- so good! And then topped it off with a scoop of mango sorbet because I like to tell myself the mango makes it a healthy dessert lol. The shop was very clean and service was good. It is a bit small and can get crowded but that's okay. Check this place out if you in the area! read more

So sad to see that Mootime Creamery isn't here anymore. What a staple it was. I decided I'd take a look at the options. I saw the ice cream in the case and knew it wouldn't be good. It looked like my attempt at ice cream at home. More like a smoothie being frozen consistency. Then they attempted to make it look pretty with toppings. The hazelnut chocolate looked crusty. Like it melted and then refroze. Not good. I was firm on not buying any from here and wasting my money. I'm glad I didn't cave to the pressure from my group. My aunt had two flavors, hard to remember which. But she said it wasn't very good even though to her it looked promising. My other aunt had a paleta - strawberry kiwi. She said it was icy and tasteless. I had a bite and it was sour and didn't taste like kiwi. The strawberry portion wasn't great either. A waste of money. It ended up being about +20$ for three people ordering. Crazy prices! Save your money please!! Don't cave into the heat and it being on the Hotel Del Coronado. Head down, a few blocks and eat at Gelato Paradiso. read more

Honestly, I'm going to be real and tell you not to bother coming here unless you're really desperate for a treat. It's got major tourist trap vibes. The gelato itself wasn't anything special. I felt like the texture was a bit off, maybe a little too icy. I've had plenty of better ice cream/gelato elsewhere. Maybe the ice pops would be better to try. It was also super overpriced, likely because it's a big vacation area. The employees were nice, but they definitely had to cycle through customers quickly, so there wasn't time to sample flavors before ordering. There wasn't anything actively bad about this place besides the prices, but I certainly wouldn't bother to come back next time. read more

My 4 year old wanted a serving of the blood orange sorbet and they would not give a tiny sample for him. I bought the smallest possible and they stuck it in the smallest of cups so I had to ask for an empty bigger cup. Cost: $8.50 plus taxes came to $9.33. The server was not in the least bit friendly and that's a shame because we were there to enjoy the amazing Christmas trees and displays and the rest of the del had a very festive and happy vibe. Never going in Sundaes again. Beware. read more

Gelato and paletas, sure, what's not to like? The strawberry paleta was creamy and mild, and you have the option to have them dipped in chocolate, which is always fun for kids. There were chunks of ice in my scoop of strawberry cheesecake gelato, but I thought the chocolate flavor was good, as was the passion fruit and mango sorbets. The one thing I really didn't like was that the smallest size is still a double scoop. It's too much ice cream for a toddler, especially one that refuses to share. Still, it's fun to have a place to grab something cold and sweet in summer - I just wish they had some seating. read more

Good: Good ice cream, super nice workers, great ambiance and area Bad: not very many options, always a huge line, very expensive... wish i could give 3.5 but can't. read more

All I have to say is... Erewhon coconut soft serve! Due to an autoimmune disease, I can no longer have dairy, cane sugar, or gluten. However, I could enjoy soft-serve ice cream every day for the first time in many years while on vacation! The machine did freeze up while I was there, but I didn't care. I was back for more the next day! The service was excellent, and the location is on one of the best beaches in the US. read more

Nothing special. Not worth the crowds. Not worth the price. It's $8.50 for a small, $10.50 for medium and $13.50 for large. Crazy!

Lemonade paleta sooooooooooooooo good!!!! I thought the price was high until I tasted it and now I'm hooked! I asked for vegan options as I did not want to have GI issues due to lactose. Some ice creams were not labeled which was frustrating. I asked the girl working and she seemed annoyed I asked her what her vegan options were. There were 2 gelato and 4 paletas. -1 star for those two issues. read more
