Yaletown Gelato - London fog and chai tea - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We had waited in line at another ice cream shop in Yaletown that we thought was just OK the night before. We were so glad to have found Yaletown Gelato. Friendly staff. Ton of great looking flavors. Tried London Fog (Earl Grey tea basically), Amaretto, Bananatella, and Key Lime. Wish we could have tried more. read more

Yup! This is the best Gelato I've found outside of Florence. It even looks so much better than other places around town. And $4.75 for two healthy scoops is well worth it. However, I wanna rip around on that old school Vespa parked inside with the DO NOT TOUCH sign. It's very tempting! read more

Yaletown Gelato - Yaletown Gelato, Vancouver, BC - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

After paying CAD4.99 for a bland froyo, I headed to Yaletown Gelato as a means of revenge for having an unsatiated appetite. (You should have seen my tummy and I. Man, were we both laughing. Scratches head. Wut!) The damage? A measly CAD4.75 for a piccolo size that consisted of two generous scoops of gelato. (Froyo, who's laughing now. Mwa ha ha!) The staff behind the counter was helpful. She was willing to let us taste, but after two trials I just stopped her already. I got Pistachio and Espresso. The pistachio didn't have the unnecessary green colouring. While the Espresso had bits of ground beans for added flavour and texture. Both were really yummy and flavourful. The cafe itself was warm and inviting. Apart from gelato, they had a variety of espresso and other hot drinks on the menu. As for the gelato, the left side of the display were milk-based, while the right side are the fruit and water-based sorbetto variety. However, as authentic as the flavours were, it's consistency was not as thick or sticky as it should have been. A typical gelato should have not much air making for a denser product than typical ice cream which the ones I had were not. Whether or not it was an off-day, they should not skimp or short-cut on the process at all. Because of this, I am only giving 4 stars. read more

I went to this place to have a quick lunch and I actually liked it a lot. I had a turkey panini with pesto sauce (we can choose the sauce from a fair list of options they have there). The panini was really good, the bread was very crispy and it came with a very fair amount of Turkey ham and cheese. My friends had soup and they loved it too. The staff was very friendly and I love its location at homer st close to dave lam park. read more

Really like this little cafe tucked at the corner of Davie & Homer. The gelato is excellent; rich, creamy, deliciousness! The waffle cones are also great. Nice, casual, European ambiance. A nice spot to have a coffee and catch up (only around 4 tables though). The paninis look great, but haven't had the will power to make it past the gelato yet, will report back if that ever happens :) read more

Such a cute and cozy little gelato shop! How have I not been here before? Good quality gelato and sorbetto with lots of great flavors to choose from. I tried the Mandarin and Blood Orange sorbettos, both of which were really nice. My friend got the Cookies n Cream gelato, which was equally delicious. The customer service was friendly too. I'll have to return to try more flavors! read more

I love their hazelnut gelato. It's smooth and the right amount of sweetness. The service is excellent and their recommendation is valid, with a lot of sample spoons given to you. Also, they are willing to do 2 different flavours for a single scoop, which is great for me since I love mixing sweet and sour gelato but can't finish 2 scoops. read more

Yaletown Gelato - Yaletown gelato. On Homer off Davie across from JJ Bean. Look for this place , it is worth it. $3.50 single generous scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Oh wow! This place is so good! They're the best summer treat - just get a gelato and then walk down to the waterfront and along the seawall. A couple of points of interest is they are constantly rotating flavors, and be sure to try samples while you are there! They have a bunch of other stuff on offer too so take a look around. I have to admit I personally love a cup of their hot chocolate, especially on a chilly day. The place is a tiny bit hidden but it is worth finding. read more

Cute little gelato spot, kind of tucked away. They had a lot of flavours, and the 2 I got were delicious. Tiramisu and whiskey hazelnut. They are dog friendly when on leash. The staff that helped us were so sweet! I will definitely be coming back whenever I crave gelato! read more

As if a trip to the baker's market AND Cafe Medina is not enough, we decided to try Yaletown Gelato as our final culinary destination of the day (while planning to do yoga tomorrow). And how we are glad we did. The gelato was the perfect ending of the afternoon. As others have said, the owner lets us try as many flavour as we want, even more. We had one scoop; white chocolate and gianduia, ( as our stomachs are still digesting 2 waffles, 2 cupcakes, and two brunches) poured with espresso (Affagatto style). The other flavors that we taste were also pretty impressive, only 1 flavor (peach with strawberry) missed the mark. read more

Yaletown Gelato - Rum raisin and vanilla - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

There's nothing special about this gelato place. The prices are more reasonable but the quality isn't ideal. I guess you get what you pay for. With the amount of ice crystals in my white chocolate truffle gelato I might as well have been eating ice cream. Which I guess I don't mind, for the price and convenience. I'm so lazy. read more

Yaletown Gelato - white chocolate truffle - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Nice variety of flavorful gelato, decent coffee and friendly staff. Ambience is slightly lacking but there are some comfy lounge chairs to cozy into. I wish you didn't need to buy two scoops to have two flavors in your cup though. My second favorite gelato spot in Yaletown next to Bella Gelateria on the water. read more

Huge selection of non-dairy ice cream - literally half of it. All look very delicious. We tried 3 samples and ended up with a tasty cone. They also have sandwiches and baked items. read more

Yaletown Gelato - Salted caramel + chocolate with raspberry - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Double scoop and a double take - gelatini..what? Like a boozy affagato? No way! Okay, so I didn't notice the option to splash a shot of liquor over my scoop until after I had paid - but this gives me the best reason to go back soon! Seriously, probably the most amazing gelato I've tasted in a long, long time! They were sweet to let me indulge in a sampling blitz before I settled on the black currant...but truffle, roasted almond and cappuccino were all in the running! It's not wrong to want gelato for breakfast is it? read more

Yaletown Gelato is the best coffee shop in Vancouver. No, I'm not exaggerating. This friendly café, hidden on the corner of Homer and Davie, not only has the best coffee in Vancouver, but also amazing customer service. The different flavours of Italian ice cream are in-house creations and will never disappoint you. I can live on of their Lemoncello gelato! It's just heaven on earth... If you're looking for a warmer treat ask for a cafe mocha paired with their over sized palmier. You won't regret it! read more

Very tasty... I was able to try a few samples of some new flavors I might not eat a full scoop of but wanted to know what they were like. Which it was cheaper though. They also seem to have an option to "spike" their drinks... alcohol + gelato... interesting.. read more

YAY! Yaletown gelato FINALLY!!!! Everyone has been saying how good this place was and today was finally nice enough to get some! It was fairly empty on a Sunday afternoon and the owner so SUPER nice and helpful. He let me and my bf try as many flavours as we wanted and gave some good suggestions - including the toasted marshmellows which tasted exactly like that! I wanted to try different scoops but was afraid it was going to be too much... but behold there was a solution! - you can actually get one scoop of gelato split into TWO FLAVOURS!!!! whoohoo! I decided to get half a scoop of forest berry & white chocolate... complimented each other very well! The owner gave me a quick tasting of the two just to make sure I would like it before I made my finaly decision. BF got french vanilla with some sort of caramel crunch that was super rich and creamy. The overall text of the gelato was sooo goooey (I'm so bad with words).. unlike gelato I've tried at Mondo's which is hard and stiff and when you try to scoop it, the gelato flies out of the bowl. The portion you get is very gracious and there was a moment when I was eating that I thought this cone would never end. Good prices and will definitely come back for more flavours! read more

In addition to having delicious and diverse flavours of gelato, the decor is adorable (vintage Italian-esque), the prices are decent as far as yaletown prices go, and it's just out of the way that it's not packed 24/7. I highly recommend the tiramisu and peach/mango flavours! read more

In my opinion one of the best Gelato spots in the city and that for several reasons: -Price -Quality -Staff -Location And lets not forget: Add a bit of booze (just to infuse a little sidekick to your afternoon joy). It's a great neighborhood joint and always satisfies my desire for great gelato. The lemon flavor is my personal favorite. Mmmm it's 7 in the morning and I want to go again. Doesn't help that it's just down the street. Argh !! -S read more

Great selection of Gelato, especially if you like it fruity - mango, passion fruit, guava, apple, blood orange.., all delicious. The interior has a nice traditional Italian coffee shop vibe, pretty different from many of the Yaletown chain coffee joints. read more

So, this is a pretty cool little gelato/coffee shop I haven't tried the gelato, but my brother swears by it The coffee is Lavazza..which is Italian, one of my favourites Recommended for a change from JJ Bean across the road Nice chairs outside during the summer for people watching I have tried the baked goods, both times have been sort of stale..stick to the coffee read more

No luck at this place. I love gelato; when I lived in Italy, I indulged several times a day so I was excited when this place opened. Three times I was overcharged (in their favour). The last time we ordered a double, two singles and were charged for three doubles (register issue?). I realized it two blocks down but we were with two small children and my husband didn't want to go back. After a long while, decided to try the place again, figuring if I only order doubles, wouldn't be an issue. As attendant scooped green tea ice-cream on my cone I saw a huge brown, slimy dried ice-cream scab, I politely asked if she could remove it. She didn't understand -- language issue. A young guy came up and while I tried a few times to explain, he waved me off with a "don't worry about it, they're all fresh". Fine. What could I say, if English was understood, it wasn't going to be listened to. We decided to eat our cones there. I repeatedly picked out huge pieces of brown, crusty goo from my scoop. The guy passed our table, decided to apologize, explaining that "she was new and in training". Fine, but my issue wasn't with her, who clearly didn't speak English it was with you not letting me replace this stupid goo that I am now forced to pay for and pick out of my mouth. Figuring he was actually listening to me this time (as he stopped at the table) I politely explained, pointing to the yuck on my plate. He gave a "yikes" look and apologized sympathetically but never offered to replace the crappy scoop. What is up with this place??!! I guess when you're the only one on the block you can do whatever you want. Sorry Veronica, but you must definitely be the owner/ a friend of the owner or work there.

How I heard of this place: My friend Bayan introduced me to the gelato shop up the road when the "Gelato Nazi" in West Vancouver had not opened. Type of cuisine: Cafe fare, with gelato, pastries and espresso beverages. Ambiance: Cafe-esque with a limited number of tables and chairs inside and outside. Dark wooden floor and walls, with a large, glass, display for the gelato. Not overdone or underdone, simple decor creates an uncluttered and easy space. What I ordered: We arrived, eagerly anticipating the toasted marshmallow gelato and were sad to find that it was not one of the days flavors. After sampling a number of flavors from black sesame to Reese, lemon, to coffee break, truffle and ...I ended up with one child-sized scoop ($3.25) of coffee break and my dining companion ordered one child-sized scoop of cookies and cream (with chocolate gelato). What I loved: I loved the chocolate chunks in the coffee break and the decorative waffle triangles placed into each cup of gelato before being served. Why I loved it: The proximity of the cafe to other shops and amenities is great! A good spot to stop for an afternoon sweet treat as you run errands or entertain a friend. Cost: Average ($3-$5 depending on the number of scoops of gelato) read more

Happy hour is from 3 to 5:30 and features $5 wine and a pizza for $10 and if you are a party of one that will feed you for dinner breakfast and a little bit of lunch the next day if you have an appetite like mine read more

Having twice returned for Chocolate Sorbet when they didn't have it, sadly I have to dock them a star. Wah-h-h-h ! I want my chocola-a-a-te! Dog sitting in Yaletown now, we can check back in a couple of days for any Sorbets that are not fruity. Fruity I can get ANYwhere.... Chocolate is a treat. read more

This review is for the choccocrema drink, not for the gelato or coffee. I was in search for some really rich drinking chocolate (not hot chocolate made with syrup or hot cocoa mix). I thought that the choccocrema would fit the bill, but I was wrong and sorely disappointed. This ended up being akin to hot chocolate pudding. It was clear that they used corn starch, cocoa powder, and milk to make it. This lacked chocolate depth and sweetness. It was kind of gross, really. So, if you go, definitely don't get this drink because at $4, it is a rip. Their baked goods looked fantastic, and perhaps I should go for that next time. read more

It has the best gelato among the various gelaterias in the area (such as the ones on Robson Street, the one in Fairmont Pacific Rim and the one by the Olympic Village). I have tried many flavours and all of them are rich, dense and, yes, sumptuous. My favourite is chocolate hazelnut. read more

Can't believe I haven't tried this place sooner! The quaint little shop offers excellent gelato, thick and creamy. Service was quick and helpful. I had the pistachio and loved it. The only downside were the people ahead of us who 1.) had to sample every single flavour, and 2.) couldn't decide which flavour to get after sampling EVERY flavour. Seriously? I would have kicked them out, but alas, the counter staff remained polite while the line grew longer behind them. read more

Decent gelato. Worth a visit and handily located a stone's throw away from most of Yaletown's culinary delights. The salted caramel and roasted almond were good, as well as the white chocolate truffle. The price is way better than Bella Gelateria in Coal Harbour. The only downside is I have a soft spot for Bella Gelateria and I (can't help) but compare them as I'm writing this. The flavour variety and creativity can't be beat at BG and I'll take that over comparable quality any day. Otherwise, the gent at the counter was superbly patient and friendly. If I was working there, I'd go nuts over people wanting to "taste" everything! read more

This is a great spot to go and get some gelato in Yaletown. They have wide selection of flavours and their prices aren't too bad considering it is located in Yaletown. They also have coffee, sandwiches and other baked goods as well. I can't attest to those as I have tried them but their gelato is fabulous. read more

Great gelato near our place. It's not as good as Dolce Amore on Commercial but good enough to just walk there and have some gelato. Will definitely re-visit. read more

Had NO idea this place even existed in Yaletown, as it's kinda hidden with a mini-plaza of other various smaller businesses, almost like a cul de sac. And to have an European flair to it, kinda nice away from the Yaletown usual scene. In here for one of my daily 2-3 coffee meetings, and surprisingly and unsurprisingly, didn't get a chance to partake in the gelato, as who would eat gelato in front of a client lol, but the $4 special for an americano and cookie too good to pass up. Not as strong for me personally but most ppl would find this espresso good enough lol. But the bonus star is for the tranquility; though I haven't been to Europe yet, since enough movies lol, that this place is worth many more visits, esp. in the summer. Their 'patio' is worth coming back for, and of course, gelato. read more

Went there for dessert after Hapa, out of season so limited options...had hazelnut gelato...there were a few ice crystals in it...but that's bound to happen with less turnover...still tasty...the ladies serving were very friendly. read more

Ever since my trip to Italy, I've been dying for a good two scoops of hazelnut gelato. This lovely little shop is often overshadowed by Bella Gelateria which is just a few minutes away, but I have to say that Yaletown Gelato serves the better scoop. Firstly, BG doesn't even have hazelnut gelato. But that's enough comparing. Furnished like the cozy café that it is, I found it a nice hideaway from the cold and miserable Vancouver weather. It has great lighting and windows and very kind staff. I got a small mocha and a cup of hazelnut gelato for under 10$, which is steep for my minimum-wage wallet, but fine as a treat. In conclusion, I love it here. I can't afford it, but I love it. And if I have to spend a bit for the experience then so be it. read more

Came here twice in the past week for coffee and gelato. Honestly, the gelato was not the finest I've had - it should be a little more creamy but perhaps the mixing process was rushed so there was an icy texture like grains of sand but enjoyed the Espresso gelato (espresso is definitely better than their Skor flavor - the espresso had a strong espresso taste and creamier while the skor was a little icy like it had water mixed in.) With this said, the service was quick and friendly. It's a nice little cafe in Yaletown and would surely visit again when walking along Homer. Generally prefer walking along the waterfront by David Lam park :D so grab coffee from Urban Fare. (no gelato unfortunately) read more

Excellent housemade gelato. They have a wide variety of flavours, very friendly service to let you sample and find the one that's "just right." (Yeah, go ahead and play Goldilock's to try them all!) They also offer a small selection of Italian pastry and coffee. My favourite is taking one of their simple flavours like dark chocolate and having it served affogato with the espresso poured over the top. Heaven! read more
