Crèmerie Gelato, also known as Gelatos began its career in 1962. This charming spot was created for families and friends in the area to get together to enjoy an ice cream on a beautiful summer day. It is a place frequently visited by people who would like to enjoy a delicious artisinal ice cream with an old school feeling. The Oliverio family purchased Crèmerie Gelato in 2013 and continues to follow its’ traditional ways while preserving a friendly and safe environment. The Oliverio family believes that in maintaining the quality of Crèmerie Gelato, it gives a lot to the local community and provides a space for the community to come together.
Review roundups depict Café Gelato as a popular Little Italy spot known for rich creamy gelato, flavorful coffee, and well presented breakfast, with many praising the quality and authenticity of the gelato and the inviting, clean space and cozy seating, sometimes with a sunlit patio; the staff are frequently described as friendly and accommodating, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere, though some complaints surface about inconsistent service during busy times and occasional hours that do not match posted schedules; while the gelato is repeatedly highlighted as high quality and the options generous, a few comments call pricing steep and some flavors limited or not as varied as hoped, and a small number express doubt about authenticity or value; overall Café Gelato is viewed as a dependable, family friendly hub with a strong community vibe and a range of Italian treats that keep regulars returning for dessert, coffee, and a casual hangout.
Their gelato & coffee is good but a bit pricey for what you get. They should really have more gelato flavours too or do some sort of rotation to keep things interesting. I gave only two stars because Ive been during the day & at night as well as during busy periods & slow periods. I noticed that service is inconsistent, & I would argue that customer service is even more important than the quality of your products. Some staff are friendly & knowledgeable while others are very rude for some reason. It happened a few times that the cashier assumed I was paying debit without even asking me how I'm paying & does not even say the price. Then she acts annoyed when I tell her I'm paying cash. The ambiance is a lot more pleasant during the day. The staff is less attentive during busier periods & nights. A lot of my friends want to try this place but to be honest it's a subpar experience each time. This place could thrive if they hired workers who know how to interact with customers properly.
Delicious spot for gelato & Italian desserts in Montreal! Café Gelato offers a great selection of creamy, flavourful gelato along with other classic Italian treats. The interior has a cozy seating area, & there's also a patio outside, perfect for enjoying your dessert on a sunny day. A lovely place to take a break & treat yourself!
Hands down my favorite gelato spot in Montreal. Everything I've tried has been amazing & you can really taste the quality. I've been going there for year, it's always worth the stop.
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
Absolutely love Café Gelato Saint Laurent!
This gem stands out not only for its immaculate cleanliness everything is always spotless & inviting but also for its incredible variety of authentic gelato. You can taste the quality & care in every scoop. From classics to creative flavors, there's something for everyone.
What truly sets Café Gelato apart in the neighborhood is their community spirit. They're the only ones around consistently giving back hosting small, thoughtful events throughout the year, especially during Grand Prix weekend & La Semaine Italienne de Montréal. Animals Welcome!
It's more than just a café it's a local hub. With free bathroom access (a rarity on St-Laurent), great coffee, delicious brunch options, & house-made desserts, it's clear they care about every guest's experience.
A must-visit in Little Italy. Authentic, clean, generous, & full of heart.
Gabriella served us & she absolutely rocked ❤? the tiramisu was SO good, made with nice mascarpone (not whipped cream). The extra dark chocolate ice cream was also a hit. Thank you!
I fell in love with this place
First if you go there in the morning it feels welcoming & their coffee is amazing ,their Gelato selection can get better than what it is.
I love how in the summer this place turns into a party 🎊
Stopped by last minute before closing. Place was a bit messy, & the menu board had prices awkwardly crossed out. Limited options, which made sense given the time. Staff was a bit sassy but really pushed the Granita di Caffè-tasted just like a Tim Hortons Ice Cap
Best Gelato in Montreal. I always enjoy my visits there because of the great atmosphere & vibes. I was served by Sienna & Gab Z & was really impressed by their kindness & determination to make me feel welcome. Okay Bye Bye

This place is amazing!! The Gelato is authentic & delicious! The vibes are fun! The coffee is very good. The staff is friendly & very accommodating! 10/10 I would recommend everyone here !
Un piccolo gioiello nel cuore di St Laurent! Un luogo davvero accogliente dove ci si sente subito a casa. Il personale è gentile, cortese e sempre con il sorriso. La qualità del cibo è eccellente: dai caffè ai toast, dai drink al gelato…tutto è semplicemente squisito. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è davvero ottimo: si mangia bene, si spende il giusto e si esce sempre soddisfatti. Un posto che conquista sia per il gusto che per l'atmosfera. Lo consiglio fortemente a chi cerca una pausa golosa e piacevole.
