Real gelato doesn't make itself — and neither do we

Small-batch, handcrafted gelato made fresh every morning. No shortcuts, no artificial colors, no compromises. Just real ingredients and the patience to do it right.

What We Offer

Flavors worth saving room for

We rotate our lineup seasonally, but our core flavors are available year-round. Every batch is churned in small quantities for the creamiest, most intense taste possible.

Dark chocolate gelato in a bowl
Signature

Single-Origin Chocolate

Deep, complex, and unapologetically rich. Made with 70% dark cacao from a single estate.

Fresh strawberry sorbet
Seasonal

Strawberry Balsamic

Bay Area strawberries meet a touch of aged balsamic. Sweet, tart, and surprisingly balanced.

Pistachio gelato close up
Signature

Bronte Pistachio

Real Bronte pistachios, stone-ground and slow-churned. Earthy, buttery, and deeply nutty.

Vanilla bean gelato
Classic

Madagascar Vanilla

Whole vanilla beans, hand-scraped. The kind of vanilla that makes you slow down.

Mango sorbet
Vegan

Mango Coconut

Alphonso mangoes blended with coconut cream. Dairy-free, intensely fruity, refreshingly smooth.

Honey lavender gelato
Rotating

Honey Lavender

Local wildflower honey infused with culinary lavender. Calm in a cup.

Our full lineup changes with the seasons. Call ahead to check what's available today.

Our Story

We started because store-bought gelato isn't gelato

Gelati Pop was born from a simple frustration: eating something labeled "gelato" that tasted like ice cream with food coloring. We knew there had to be a better way.

So we went back to the basics — milk, cream, sugar, and real ingredients you can pronounce. We churn in small batches, age our bases overnight, and never stabilize with gums or emulsifiers. The result is denser, creamier, and more flavorful than anything you'll find in a pre-packaged tub.

Every flavor on our board is something we'd serve our family. If it doesn't meet that bar, it doesn't make the menu.

How It Works

From ingredient to scoop — no shortcuts

Every batch goes through the same careful process. It takes time, but that's the difference between good gelato and great gelato.

1

Source

We buy the best ingredients we can find — real vanilla beans, single-origin cacao, fresh fruit from Bay Area growers. If it's not worth using, it's not on our list.

2

Age & Infuse

Our bases rest overnight in the fridge. This isn't optional — it's what lets flavors fully develop and gives gelato its signature dense, silky texture.

3

Churn & Serve

Small-batch churning keeps air content low and flavor intensity high. We serve within hours of finishing — never from a freezer sitting for days.
