    Hazelnut two scoops
    Mel Y.

    We were in the mood for a cold sweet treat and satisfied both needs here after a customer outside vouched for the gelato. Unfortunately they only had three flavors of gelato available because they were making another batch. We settled on a medium hazelnut ($6.5) which was good but rather small for the two scoops. They also sell some Italian pastries that didn't look that great. They also sell pints of gelato which may be a better deal. There are a few small tables outside if you want to people watch and the weather is nice. That street has plenty of other eateries and stores.

    Beautiful art, to complement the clean shop.

    Stopped into Benvenuti, again, and enjoyed great gelato. It's not surprising, why this gelateria has such a high Yelp rating, with 100 reviews. The shop is clean, the service is cordial, and the generous servings of gelato are award winning. Hopefully, one day soon, you'll get to experience Benvenuti and enjoy the happiness.

    Continuing my ice cream kick this summer brought me to Benvenuti. I was surprised when I walked in to see a short list of flavors and of course the one I wanted (strawberry) they didn't have much of. They did offer to make another batch with a 15 min wait. I decided to go with the mango flavor with the little bit of strawberry that was left on top. I thought the mango was just ok, but definitely was a fan of the strawberry. Added bonus was the seating outside.

    Pumpkin spice gelato
    Jennifer H.

    I love the gelato from this cute little shop. It tasted very authentic. They have some regular flavors and then some seasonal flavors as well. Normally I get pistachio because its the best, but my recent visit was during October and they had a pumpkin spice flavor. It was really good too! I would recommend it if its in season and you like anything pumpkin related. I love that they offer a little piece of cone with your scoop! The service is always friendly and quick! They also offer a variety of Italian products from chocolate to coffee.

    Pistachio
    Adrienne M.

    WOW! I stopped by after creating candles next door at Alchemy and enjoyed the best pistachio gelato I've ever had! I ordered a small which was more than enough to cure my sweet tooth. Whenever I need my gelato fix, I'll definitely be back for the pistachio flavor!

    Mango Sorbet
    Anju P.

    I was looking for vegan ice cream options in downtown Montclair and yelp recommended this ice cream place and the other rolled ice cream place both with excellent reviews. As I am a huge fan of the rolled ice cream, I was at the other place first but I got disappointed seeing the line till the door which was partially because of their slow service, we were asked to wait for 30 minutes, so I had no option but to walk further to this place. This place was crowded too, but the service was quick. I was disappointed when I got to know that they had only 1 diary/egg free option that was mango sorbet. Wish they had more diary free options as their regular flavors looked creamy and smooth. My child got their hazelnut ice cream. He loved it. The mango sorbet was alright.

    Quality gelato. Outdoor seating on Church Street. Friendly service, quality product.

    While in Montclair, my friends and I were looking for a sweet treat and we came across Benvenuti! The staff were friendly about letting us try the flavors and they had some unique flavors! My friend's matcha gelato was scooped BEAUTIFULLY and looked perfect on top of her cone. I got the hazelnut gelato and it was delicious! Benvenuti is a great gelato spot to try if you're in the area!

    This is such a great spot for gelato in a quiet walkable area of Montclair. Church street has a lot of great restaurants, and this gelateria is a great spot for dessert if you're in town. The employees here are super friendly and allow you to taste all the gelato flavors to make sure you select your favorite. Don't be afraid to combine two flavors as well! They offer cold drinks as well but this time we went for the pistachio gelato and hazelnut gelato. We also added a chocolate chip cookie and an espresso to our order because I can't go without coffee. Gelato here is spot on delicious, some of the best in NJ in my opinion. There is tons of seating outside so it's perfect for sunset and a romantic outing.

    Small Gelato Cup (~$5): half strawberry & half pistachio
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Small Gelato Cup (~$5): half strawberry & half pistachio Aya's take: We were walking around the area after dinner and stumbled upon Benvenuti. They probably have around 10 flavors to choose from, and if I'm being honest, none of them stood out to me. After trying a couple, I ultimately went with strawberry & pistachio knowing they wouldn't disappoint. Don't get me wrong; the gelato is smooth, creamy, and fresh! There's just nothing unique about it - but it is the only spot in Montclair to get gelato. Cute seating area outside and friendly staff.

    Went in to try some gelato..but girl who worked there was MIA for about 8 min so hubby went next door to Chip City to have with our cappuccino that we were waiting to order. Thought we would get a delicious cup being as though this is an authentic establishment but...cappuccino was probably worst I've had..hubby agreed Dunkin was probably better and that is terrible

    Mohamad K.

    5 stars for the gelato! Wowowowowow, they make all their gelato fresh, in house. I tried the mascarpone which was so creamy and tasty & the fruity one which is made with fresh berries. 4 stars for the pastries which had potential but just weren't fresh when I visited. Will be back!

    Dark Chocolate Sorbet and pistachio gelato
    Anusha V.

    My new favorite gelato spot in Montclair. It's a cute little place in the downtown area with outside seating. We came here last night for a post dinner treat and so happy we did. The people working there were friendly, warm and let us try the flavors before committing to one. I tried the vegan matcha and dark chocolate sorbet before deciding that the dark chocolate sorbet was the winner. My husband got the pistachio gelato. The gelato was creamy and had the perfect amount of sweetness to it. This will be my go to spot for gelato going forward.

It's cozy, genuine, and the kind of place where you can tell there's a lot of love going into what comes out of the kitchen. And speaking of that kitchen--you can see it from pretty much every seat in the house. Watching several cooks navigate what looks like an incredibly tiny space is almost mesmerizing. Somehow, they move around each other seamlessly, and the best part? The food comes out FAST. My wife went with the hummus, and it was creamy, flavorful, and delicious. But the surprise star on the side was the salted dried kale chip--such a simple little addition, but ridiculously good. Then came my pancakes. Out of this world. Small in diameter, but super thick, with a beautifully crispy exterior giving way to an interior that was fluffy, light, and airy. I've tried making this style of pancake at home countless times, and I still have absolutely no idea how to get that texture. The syrup and berries were the perfect finishing touches. Everything just worked. I've made and had soooo many pancakes in my life, and this is easily top 3 best. The Corner is the kind of place that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even left. I'll be dreaming about getting back to this Corner.

Unfortunately, I encountered a severe lack of professionalism and legal compliance from leadership. Immediately upon entering, the barista nicely notified me that dogs were not allowed. I politely explained that he is a trained service animal and asked if I needed to speak with a manager. The barista was respectful and allowed us access. Unfortunately, minutes later, the owner, Jessica Troupe, stepped in aggressively. When I notified her of his status, she was completely dismissive, setting a very poor example for her young staff member. Her confrontational and aggressive approach showed a clear ignorance of both the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) guidelines regarding public accommodations. If you rely on a service animal, please be warned. I will not be supporting this establishment. I hope management takes immediate steps to properly educate themselves on accessibility laws

While I just met up with a friend of mine for coffee, I will make it a point to come here again and support this community, woman- and black- owned business.
