About

Café Gelato serves authentic Italian-style frozen desserts crafted with traditional techniques and high-quality ingredients. The menu features an extensive array of gelato flavors, ranging from classic fruit sorbettos to rich, creamy nut-based infusions. Beyond the signature chilled sweets, the establishment prepares various pressed sandwiches using crusty artisanal breads filled with imported meats and local cheeses. These offerings provide a consistent, straightforward culinary experience focused on the balance of texture and flavor profile. Patrons often pair these savory options with classic espresso-based beverages to complement the cooling effects of the ice cream. The minimalist interior focuses on utility, ensuring the selection of cold treats and pressed paninis remains the central attraction for all visitors looking for a quick and reliable Italian-inspired snack.

8 dollars + tax for a very disappointing café crema. It was extremely light, just a bit of foam

En cherchant Café Italien 🇮🇹 & gelato, ce petit resto terrasse est resortis & honnêtement il en valais la découverte!

Petit cappuccino, tellement bon que commandé un deuxième, ensuite sélection de gelatos, petites pâtisseries & biscuits. Service souriant & belle ambiance terrasse ☀?☕?

Nous avions demandé 6, nous avons eu 4 dégoulinants.
Nous avons eu le sentiment de déranger la serveuse quand nous sommes arrivés.

Le service est déplorable. La madame qui nous sert répond au tel & ensuite, sans se laver les mains , elle se met à remplir les cannolis qu'on a commandés. Quand je lui ai fait la remarque sur ce qu'elle vient de faire elle devient arrogante & me dit d'un ton méchant que son tel est très propre.

Le prix pour un format bambino??? Un peu abusé quand même. & la caissière n'avait clairement pas envie d'être là.

The gelato was very good & the products generally seem high quality. However, I was disappointed by a few things during my visit.

First, the'iced latte' did not seem to be prepared like a real traditional iced latte with an espresso shot & milk. I asked the server, & she assured me it was made with espresso. However, as someone knowledgeable about coffee, it really seemed more like a pre-made cold brew mixture. The coffee was poured from a pre-prepared container without any espresso extraction being made on the spot, which was disappointing when expecting a real latte.

Also, the cookie dessert tasted expired or not fresh. We had to ask for it to be replaced with a cake instead. Thankfully, the staff agreed to change it, but it was still disappointing regarding the freshness of the desserts.

It's unfortunate because the place has potential & the gelato itself was excellent.
