This place is so cute they have plenty of seating indoor and outside. I had the pumpkin chocolate ice cream it was the best gelato I’ve ever had. Such good quality and really creamy gelato. I do not regret those calories one bit I ate every single bite.

Decadent and creamy gelato with delicious flavors. Owner was trained in gelato-making in Italy and it shows. It’s comparable to gelato I’ve consumed in Italy. My family and I tried the pistachio, lemon lavender with goat cheese, vanilla, and pomegranate—all excellent!
One suggestion for improvement: their espresso needs to be dialed in better. The espresso in my doppio and affogato was sour and astringent.

Cannella Gelato is one of downtown Birmingham’s sweetest hidden gems. Located on charming Morris Avenue, this locally owned gelateria serves authentic Italian-style gelato that’s rich, smooth, and packed with flavor. From the first bite, you can tell the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully selected.
The flavor options strike the perfect balance between classic and creative. Traditional favorites like pistachio and dark chocolate are creamy and bold, while seasonal offerings keep things interesting with unexpected combinations that still feel refined. The texture is noticeably silkier and denser than standard ice cream, giving each scoop a luxurious feel without being overly heavy.

Every flavor we sampled was delicious and made it harder to decide what to get. I had the lemon blueberry cheesecake and banana pudding. The blood orange and peach Bellini were fantastic as well. May be tough to find, but worth going out of the way to get.

Oh, I love gelato and Cannella is a gem! We were greeted immediately and service was top tier. We sampled a flavor each then decided on our picks. It was a delightful treat on a breezy spring day. The area is quaint and the restructuring of the building is beautiful. I’ll be back!

Amazing. Cute little walk in shop with great vibes. I got the melon gelato and it was perfectly sweet and creamy. Didn’t melt quickly either. The attendant was personable and greeted us immediately when we walked in.

The Gelato was amazing. It went great with a cup of coffee after a meal at a nearby restaurant. They also have some sorbet options.

I had the lemon, lavender, honey, goat cheese Gelato and it was the best gelato I have had in my life. I was glad we got the gelato to go, or I would have ordered 5 more cups. . I savored every bite! My husband got the Guinness favor and loved it. When I come back to AL, I have already saved this place so I can return. Service was great, location was clean, definitely recommend!

In this day and age, it’s hard to find a place that Understands pistachio, whether it’s coffee, pastries, gelato, etc. This place Understands pistachio. This pistachio gelato is so delicious and rich and honeyed that it’s unreal. The pomegranate is not great in all honesty but I will be coming back for this pistachio gelato for SURE.

High quality flavors (rich and not too sweet), lovely people working there, fun location in an industrial-turned-chic plaza. Loved both the strawberry lemonade and chocolate gelato flavors!
