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.

Café Gelato Saint-Laurent est incroyable ! Leur gelato est crémeux, savoureux & fait avec des ingrédients de qualité. La crème glacée est tout aussi exceptionnelle, avec des saveurs riches & bien équilibrées. Le service est toujours chaleureux & attentionné, on se sent vraiment bien accueilli à chaque visite. C'est devenu mon endroit préféré pour une petite douceur - je recommande à 100 % !

Nothing special, over-sweetened & incredibly expensive. Pictured is an 8$ cup of pistachio icecream. Laughable. You can walk about 5 mins in another direction & find better for less.

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.
