Totally disgusted. We were coming here all the time and I got a pint. Read the ingredients of the “handmade” ice cream. What a joke. It’s manufactured garbage shipped in.

Red 40 is from coal tar, for those who don’t know. Blue 1 is from petroleum. Carageenan is restricted in the EU because it’s bad for you. And why would “handmade” ice cream need preservatives? It’s unfortunate to think that something bought at the grocery store next door would be better for you than this “handmade” trash.

Really good gelato from a local chain that has a smooth and creamy texture with a nice variety of flavor options. There are some unique flavors and the traditional favorites with some specialty flavors that have limited availability as they cycle through. The Dark as Dark, a coffee/espresso type ice cream has a nice strong flavor and there are a couple other coffee type flavors as well. The Tailgate’s kettle corn base is really good, but the buttery taste can get a little cloying with time. As others have reviewed, the Chocolate Decadence is a very rich chocolate that should satisfy the cocoa lovers, while the Almond Amaretto is a nice compliment and blend of those two flavors.
This was a nice refreshing treat and a small does look a little small in the waffle cone, but it is 2 scoops allowing you to try a couple different flavors and is satisfying. I typically prefer the in-house made gelato, but this was pretty close.

Delicious!!! I get the waffle cone with two scoops. Perfect treat! The rainbow cookie, mint oreo and just ask are the best flavors in my opinion. I was recommended to go here and not disappointed at all 🙂

I think the one near scott’s addition has better service + atmosphere overall compared to this location. The gelato tasted really great, but I’m not really sure how to feel about revisiting. Upon walking in, I smiled and waved hello ready to order, only to be looked at but not really be acknowledged. The lady scooping also had a curt attitude that just felt awkward. I just took my ice cream to the car I didn’t really want to sit there after that. I understand that people might be having bad days but yeah.

Some of the best ice cream I’ve had in my life. Certainly the best in this area by a long shot. Staff have always been friendly.

This was my first time visiting but will not be my last. I love ice cream and this may have been amongst the best I’ve tasted. Great customer service as well. Great ice cream options as well. The best is the strawberry cheesecake!

Very much enjoyed Gelati Celesti! I got the Lavender flavor and the Rainbow Cookie flavor. The Lavender flavor was good but not great, it was too subtle for me. The cookies in the Rainbow Cookies were delicious and I enjoyed the vanilla flavor of the ice cream, it was a flavorful french vanilla. Their flavors are your standard ice cream shop flavors, not anything creative/unique like other ice cream shops.

Absolutely love this place! Chocolate Decadence is my go-to flavor and is to die for! They’ve got plenty of other great options and even some seasonal ones in rotation. Love it that much, get a pint or quart to take home and “share.” Highly recommend stopping by if you’re yearning for a tasty desert. Photo is one scoop of S’mores and one of Chocolate/Chocolate Chip. I already finished mine.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for yearsssss. So when I was in the area it was a no brainer. There were a lot of flavors to choose from and it took me a while to decide but ultimately I chose the honey badger and birthday cake flavors and got them in a waffle cone. I loved birthday cake but the honey badger was just ok. The stroopwaffle pieces in the honey badger were chewy especially being in the ice cream.

My boyfriend’s 2 scoops were rainbow cookie and strawberry cheesecake. The rainbow cookie 10/10! It was vanilla ice cream (I believe) and the ukrop’s rainbow cookies. Heaven. I’ll definitely be back for that flavor.

We ate outside because there was no seating available for anyone indoors due to covid. They also don’t allow tasting or eating inside the establishment due to covid so be prepared to sort your flavors by description.
