I would give this place 3.5 stores. The shop is so cute inside and smells delicious. The server was kind and let me try multiple flavors. I appreciate how you can get to go cups of M&Ms and sprinkles to put on top. I have high gelato standards after Italy last summer though, and was a little let down. I didn't want to hold anyone up trying more than two flavors so went with a chocolate sorbet flavor. They only have waffle cones and cups, no cake cones. My one scoop into my cup was on the smaller side, and it melted SO fast, faster than most ice creams. By the time I got to a bench outside at the park, it had turned mostly into a puddle. It also tasted a little sweeter than necessary in my opinion. Again, I'm a bit of a harsh gelato critic, but I would probably opt for ice cream or soft serve over this particular place. However, if you're in the area and looking for a treat in downtown Plano, they were very welcoming. Maybe a different flavor would provide a better eating experience. read more

Saw you can get an affogato. Told my wife and she was all about it. We both love affogatos after a stint through Italy this summer. Well... the person running the counter "didn't think the machine was working" We had a couple of scoops of what they are serving. We liked that it's not rich and heavy. Obviously they are doing something different here. It's good. Just wanted the affogato. read more

We've been on the lookout for a new gelato spot since our go-to closed, and we're glad we stumbled upon The Gelato Cone in downtown Plano. The shop is cute and located in a very walkable area. They offer a great variety of flavors--most gluten-free and some dairy-free--which we really appreciated. We were greeted and helped right away, and all of our gelato choices were delicious. I went with the pistachio and chocolate cherry, my friend tried the dairy-free chocolate, and my partner had the strawberry. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and tasty. We'll definitely be back! read more

Spectacular flavors. Really enjoyed the peanut butter honey. The staff was awesome and very knowledgeable in the flavors.

I loved the ambiance of this gelato parlor! It feels like an old time small town ice cream parlor from days past. One where the ice cream parlor is as much of a social gathering place as it is a place to enjoy some of your favorite flavors! Speaking of favorite flavors, mine is chocolate. Now I am not usually a big fan of gelato, I have to say their chocolate gelato was some of the best I have ever had! I was also impressed by the service here. I was greeted as I walked in the door, and I was also offered samples of any flavors I wanted to try. It was a great experience and I will definitely go back when I am in the area.

The times I have been here, I was hoping to find a great gelato store so close to my house, but it is basically okay ice cream, IMO. Pass.

First time trying this spot and definitely plan on returning! The location is perfect for a stroll on a nice day. It's located by a park with tons of sitting areas and a playground for kids. There's also a farmers market and art gallery near by. The interior and exterior of this place is gorgeous. The worker was very friendly and let us try multiple of their unique flavors. I got the Milk Chocolate but the Cookie and Ferraro Rocher flavors were nice as well. The coconut gelato was also a hit if you are a fan of coconut! read more

I went to the Gelato Cone this evening in Plano. It was excellent. So many flavors including the salted caramel. The service was great. Very chill vibes. Would recommend to anyone after dinner or on a date. Fantastic! read more

The pictures online seems better vs in person. They didn't have the flavor the kid saw online. And the guy came from the back of the store not greeting customers when they come in. Some had to ring the bell to get service read more

First time here! I would give it a 4.5 overall, I got the rose gelato and loved the flavor! It wasn't too strong or sweet, but was permeating throughout to give a constant floral flavor. Really good and delicate! The ice cream is stretchy, I think they add gum to give it more texture. I like this texture, but just keep this in mind. It was $3.69 for one scoop, and $5.69(?) for two scoops, which seems pretty expensive but it was more ice cream than I expected. They have a lot of flavors from chocolate, to fruit flavors, to sorbet. Interior is very colorful orange and blue, and service was good. I would come back again to try more! read more

They have delicious gelato here! I loved peanut honey and pistachio! Thanks for the service, he was too kind!

Gelato was adequate. Nothing extraordinary. The scoops are tiny for the price they charge. Their double scoop is the size of Paciugo's single scoop. And Paciugo's tastes better. Service wise, this is definitely 0 stars, but 1 is the lowest I could go. The server was quite dishonest. We were asked if we wanted 1 scoop or 2 scoops. We responded 2 scoops, but we asked to separate the scoops into two separate bowls (we didn't want the flavors to mix). The lady said sure. At payment, she charged us for 2 separate scoops. When we asked about it, she told us that the 2 scoops had to be in the same small plastic bowl. She should've volunteered this information when we asked if we could have it in two separate bowls... not charge us for two separate bowls and ONLY bring it up when asked. I will not be going back to this place. I will not recommend anyone to go back to this place. read more

Great spot to get gelato. A good variety of flavors and sizes. You can get a cup or a cone. Plenty of seating. The employees are friendly and helpful, and give you a nice sized sample. A good place to stop for dessert or after shopping in the nearby boutiques. read more

Gelato was fine, but the tables were dirty and the guy didn't even come out to take our order until a few minutes of sitting there and did not seem like he wanted to be there. read more

A Plano staple for sure. If it's not tongue in cheek for a sweet treat, then it's here at gelato cone. Nothing like grabbing some gelato here and sitting outside while an event or something is going on. I like the little chairs outside you can hang out on while you eat. Friendly staff. Def recommend. read more

Been coming here for 3 years and The Gelato Cone is hands down the best gelato spot around. This is real Italian gelato, you can taste it right away. Pistachio and rose gelato are insane, super smooth and full of flavor. Small boutique place but big quality. Honestly they don't advertise enough, this place should always have a line. If you like real gelato, you need to try this spot. read more

This place has the best gelatos!!!!! I ate here about 4 years ago and totally forgot about it until recently I was at a restaurant across from it and saw it! Had to get some! I tried a bunch of flavors and every single one was delicious!!! My fav is the Ferraro Rocher!! This place is #1 in my list for gelatos! read more

Had a pleasant experience here this past weekend. Gelato was good. Scoops were quite small. We got 3 scoops and all fit in one small cup. Sit next to window for good view of the activity on 15th street. Restroom was also available and sample tastings welcomed. read more

This gelato is amazing. We tried the peanut butter honey and the ferrero rocher. The flavor is spot on. It's super creamy and delicious. I love that you can sample flavors before deciding. And I love that their single scoop is small enough for an afternoon treat that won't spoil dinner. read more

The portion size was disappointingly small. The price was out of line with the size of the portions.

Portion size was tiny for the price they charge!! It doesn't even fill up the tiny cup!!

Get ready for a flavor explosion in your mouth! This bright and fun gelato place is a fantastic way to satisfy your sweet tooth-and has options for both gluten free (the whole menu is GF!) as well as diabetic friendly options. You can rest well knowing that the sweet treats here are better for you than regular ice cream-take a look at the menu board to see the ingredients and the comparison between gelato and ice cream. Service was friendly-the guy at the counter was happy to let us try a few flavors to determine what we wanted. I tried the rose (it tasted just like I would image a rose would!) but ultimately landed on the mango. Holy Moley that stuff was tart! But I loved it. read more

It's a no for me. The flavors just didn't taste right. I can't put my finger on what it was. It tasted very artificial and had an off putting texture. The gelato case wasn't very inviting. I had the banana. There was this springy texture to it like gum. Strawberry was the same but tasted better. I tasted the pistachio. It's rare for me to find a pistachio I don't like. This one wasn't the least bit good. My daughter liked her mint chocolate chip so for that I gave them a star but I wouldn't recommend this place at all. The guy working at the time didn't seem too enthusiastic while helping. For 1 scoop, the price seemed high. I didn't have anything to compare it to price wise off the top of my head but 3 single scoops was $11.98. Total disappointment. read more

Visited this ice cream shop on Saturday, 4/26 around 5 PM and had a disappointing experience. When my boyfriend went to pay, the cashier -- an older Middle Eastern man -- intentionally added a $2 tip to the total without our consent. At first, he denied it, but when my boyfriend checked his phone and showed proof of the extra charge, he admitted what he had done. It's not about the $2 -- it's about the principle. Customers should be able to trust that their payment is handled honestly. This experience left a bad taste, and I won't be returning. read more

We passed by this Turkish Gelato artisan shop in East Plano. They make their artisan gelato in house. My son ordered their special pistachio on a sugar cone. It's freshly made, creamy and delicious. Clean and well lighted gelato shop. Cashier/Serving person is courteous. read more

Gelato was decent but nothing special. Price Pretty high for small serving. Did not even get a nice serving container to enjoy it. Too many other options read more

It's a 3.75. I got the milk free chocolate and it had a good consistency. The display is not much but the ice cream is pretty good. The front seating is nice and Plano-picturesque but go any further back and it's like a liminal space back. Also there were these little cups (I mean little little) of sprinkles or m&ms and they were $1. Inflation is crazy. read more

We have been to this place twice in a week. First of all we were impressed that they remembered us and said welcome back. Secondly, you cannot go wrong with all of the flavors. They are all super good. I had one called cookies this time. My husband had one called rose and a scoop of caramel. My daughter had a scoop of rose and a scoop of strawberry, and a scoop of caramel. My son had, a scoop of mango and two others. It was so amazing. We've decided we like gelato more than ice cream and definitely a tie with frozen yogurt. Give it a try and you won't be sorry. read more

Cute little gelato shop in old-town Plano. They had a nice selection of flavors. We had the chocolate, coffee, and vanilla. All delicious - creamy and rich with flavor. There were a number of flavors that weren't discernible by the name (e.g., milk ocean, sky blue). The server wasn't very descriptive or interested in sharing information with us. Also, I was very disappointed to be served in styrofoam. With so many different options for to-go cups, I wish they had used something more eco-friendly. read more

Nice new gelato place in downtown Plano. They have a great selection of flavors and - even better - each flavor also includes calorie information as you debate what you'd like to get. Staff encourage you to sample before you select and I'm glad I did. The flavors here are more intense than Paciugo. This is neither good nor bad, just different. I'm going to try the pineapple sorbet next time because I love pineapple and think the intense flavor will be a winner. I had "Mounds" which was coconut gelato topped with a 1/4 inch thick layer of chewy milk chocolate - like the consistency of fudge when you first pour it into a pan. It was delicious and I would definitely get it again! Prices are typical for gelato - $3.40 for a single scoop. You can get it in a cone or cup. This is a welcome addition to downtown Plano and I know I'll visit more when I need a sweet treat on a warm day. read more

Such a nice little place for a treat! Went in somewhat late and the employee who helped us and gave us LOADS of samples was incredibly nice. Would definitely recommend. read more

I love the rose gelato I had. Mango flavor is a little sour. My husband like the chocolate flavor! They make the gelato fresh everyday. Waffle cone is made in house too. This is a little gem in downtown Plano. You can enjoy a dinner, walk around the shops/bars and then get a gelato! The store has stairs at the entrance. Watch you steps:) read more

It's within walking distance. Love to go with friends. A fun place to get desert and go for a walk. Not sure if they accept dogs.

Great place to get some gelato with family and friends or date! Good flavors too; I really liked the caramel and Ferror Rocha. They also have vegan options for those that prefer non dairy. Great customer service, setting and cleanliness. read more
