Dalmata Gelateria is praised for creative, flavorful ice creams and an artisanal quality that shines through in not overly sweet, well balanced flavors. Flavors like apricot, Fior di latte, raspberry chocolate and a brioche with chocolate ice cream and pistachio swirl are repeatedly highlighted as standout twists. Staff are described as cordial and the decor charming, lending a friendly neighborhood vibe and, at times, a lively line. While many consider the quality worth the price, some reviewers feel portions are small and prices high for the value. The menu is described as curated and changes often, with seasonal twists that keep the experience fresh. Some notes mention that flavors can be intense but not overly sweet and that fruit notes feel natural rather than artificial. Overall the place is seen as a standout local gem with a stylish setting and a tendency to draw crowds, though not everyone ranks it as the absolute best in town. A few critiques include service slips and occasional portions not meeting expectations.
A very worthy rival to Kem Coba.
Their Bernie Beigne Fritter (as of Oct 27, 2025) is decadent & a must.
Also a special shoutout to one of the few businesses open past 9pm !

J'y suis allée hier. C'est beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité. Les prix n'incluent pas les taxes comme chez plusieurs autres glaciers, donc surprise, avec pourboire (ils réclament d'ailleurs 18% au minimum sur leur machine & n'acceptent pas l'argent comptant) un cornet revient à 10$. Pas d'options pour les tailles, alors un cornet beaucoup trop gros pour moi, & beaucoup trop cher.
J'ai pris le twist vanille chaï & raisin concorde, sur'papier' ça sonne alléchant, mais ça goûtait le jus de raisin cheap super sucré. & je ne sais pas si l'employée manque d'expérience pour le service, mais la moitié de ma glace s'est détachée de mon cornet alors que je la léchait! Je l'ai rattrapé de justesse & en avait plein les doigts... pourquoi tout ce pourboire, je me le demande.
Bref. Pour le même prix vous pouvez avoir un pot complet chez les Givrés ou au Havre-aux-glaces, qui à mon avis sont nettement plus raffinés. Je regrette.
Qualité & goût sont au rendez-vous. La portion est suffisante pour un adulte pas trop juste assez. Moi & ma copine avons pris les deux twist différent & avons trouvé notre cornet délectable. Un + pour le service ma copine à échappé son cornet au sol & avons eu un deuxième gratuit Merci! Je recommande le lieux surtout que vous risquez d'attendre moins longtemps qu'à d'autre crèmerie du quartier.
It was good, but it's expensive. I had the cereal ice cream & peach. At the beginning it tasted like vanilla, but as it got a bit warmer, it was better.
Will probably go back, just cause the raspberry was very good.
had very high expectations, given all the hype this place has had since the start of the summer. We tried a Fior di Latte twist, expecting something more refined.
Price was fair, the place is beautiful, the staff was super nice & smiling... bonus it's always fun to hang out in this neighbourhood. But honestly, I've had better ice cream. Don't get me wrong, it's very, very good. Still, my experiences at le Virevent or Iconoglaces were easily twice as memorable.
In short, this place feels like a bit of a social media hype machine. Great ice cream, sure, but not the best in the city.

I don't know if this is worth going out of the way for - it's good ice cream but not great considering all the great soft serve in the city! The chocolate was decent but the blueberry tasted a bit artificial. Cute place & friendly service.
Unfortunately disappointed. Ok ice cream at a much higher price point (very small portions). Tried the peach / corn cereal milk twist which lacked richness & flavour.
