Decided to try this place since the line at Salt and Straw was hella long and wasn't disappointed. They may have had a line here as well, but the line was quickly even though there was a lot of Gelato to choose from and thankfully allow samples. We decided to get a cup of the Green Tea and Cardamon Gelato after trying a few. Both had good, strong flavors that were thankfully not too sweet. Was this the best Gelato I have ever had, no, but it is pretty high up on the list. Overall, good Gelato with a good variety and quick service. read more

After dinner, I was craving something sweet, so I stopped by this place and got my favorite--guava gelato. They offer around 60 different flavors of gelato and sorbet, which is honestly one of the widest selections I've seen in the Mid-Peninsula. The guava is still my top pick, refreshing, fruity, and perfectly balanced. The service was great and made the whole experience even better. :) read more

Had no idea Caffe Stellato had a location in downtown Burlingame, so it was a nice surprise when looking for a dessert option after dinner. Love that they always offer an abundance of gelato flavors to choose from. I really liked every flavor I sampled (ended up picking the dark cherry chocolate chip) and will definitely be back whenever I'm in the area! read more

Caffe Stellato is such a great spot for gelato! The gelato is thick, creamy and full of flavor. I got the Honey Lavender and it was so good. The shop itself is a cute deli/mini grocery store with a great selection of gelato flavors. The staff were friendly, and I was happy it wasn't busy when I visited. It's located in downtown Burlingame, which is a pretty busy area so parking can be a little tough! but the gelato is definitely worth it! read more

Hmmm, love gelato! My husband and I had just had dinner in the area and decided we wanted to get a cold treat instead of spending money on a fancy dessert item. We walked down the street to Caffe Stellato where there was a line out the door. There are several workers working alongside one another so the line moved quickly, we only had to wait 5 minutes or so. They have over 60 gelato flavors to choose from and the menu is conveniently posted by the door so you can peruse your choices while you're waiting to be served. I had set my mind on getting the horchata flavor but unfortunately, was told they were out. My husband and I ended up splitting the lemon cookie which was amazing. Fresh chunks of actual lemon cookie were mixed into the gelato itself so the crisp, citrus flavor really shone through. I'm already thinking about what I want to try on my next visit! This place also sells regular food as well - you can choose from sandwiches, salads, or even crepes if you're in the mood for something more hearty. read more

Have a craving for authentic Italian Gelato? Well, Cafe Stellato is the place to go to. This place brings you back to Italy. It offers many Italian drinks, delicious desserts and snacks. The ambiance is totally European. Service was good, however an extra helper would have helped with the small line. Cafe Stellato is located on Burlingame Ave along with many restaurants and shops. Easy to get to and plenty of street parking. read more

Cute gelato and sandwich deli spot! We came here after work on Friday around 7pm. It was packed with students. To order sandwiches, you have to go to the back counter and order there then go to the register to pay. It was a bit confusing when we got there but the employees were helpful. We ordered two sandwiches and gelato: Siciliano with no cheese (3/5): it was a good sandwich. There was a good amount of meat, very flavorful meat. The sandwich could have benefited from more balsamic vinegar and fresher bread. Stellato Special (3/5): decent sandwich Gelato (4/5): gelato was good, we got the pistachio flavor. It was interesting how sticky it was since they don't add air to the gelato. The sandwich guy (who also helped us at the gelato) wasn't fluent in English so we had a hard time asking what gelato flavors were dairy-free. He was a very nice guy though who helped us remake the Siciliano sandwich when he realized he accidentally put cheese in it the first time. Overall, adorable place. We would probably come back during less busy hours to try some of their other sandwiches and gelato flavors. They have a bunch of candy and pasta and ingredients for purchase as well. read more

Was craving a late sweet treat and came across this place! Arrived 20 minutes before closing and staff were friendly and welcoming. I was surprised that they had lychee flavored gelato so I went with this flavor. LITERALLY SO GOOD. I get why they're rated highly on Yelp. The gelato melts in your mouth and the lychee flavor was *chef's kiss* Tastes exactly how lychee does. This is definitely a new spot I'm adding to my desserts list!!! read more

Gelato review only: I really enjoyed their gelato. We tried three flavors. I liked their spumoni and pistachio flavors! Both were super thick and creamy and on a day that it was 50°F outside, it melted super slowly which was great. Docked a star off because although the black cherry chip was also creamy, I did not feel like the flavor came through and there was some graininess to the texture of the gelato. I also wished it had more dark cherries and chocolate chips chunks too. Gelato here would be amazing on a warmer day! read more

Just happened upon this place this past week when out to dinner in downtown Redwood City. I must say..it is just the best. So if you are in the downtown area, feel like getting some nice gelato with many flavors..you need to try this place!! This is a must for those gelato lovers! read more

Caffé Stellato is one of those places that quietly earns your loyalty. Being open late already makes it a win, but the gelato is what seals the deal. The flavors are consistently delicious and you really cannot miss with any of them. Classic, trending, or something new, every scoop delivers. Add in the wide selection of candies and treats and it feels like there is always something fun waiting for you. The staff truly stands out. They are always kind, welcoming, and generous, which makes every visit feel easy and relaxed. They also offer sandwiches, which we have not had the chance to try yet, but it is definitely something we are looking forward to. The space itself is warm and inviting, with seating both inside and outside. The split doorways make it feel inviting to come inside and stay awhile. Burlingame has plenty to offer, but this spot keeps bringing me back. Great flavors, friendly faces, and a place that simply feels good to walk into. read more

Caffe Stellato has around 60 gelato flavors and also sells snacks from around the world. I spied some Dubai chocolate bars, Japanese snacks, and Pez dispensers with candy among other things. I sampled 3 flavors but ended up with 1 scoop of coconut for $5. Service was excellent. I will definitely come back! read more

Love love love this gelato shop! This location can get busy on a hot day, but the line moves quickly. -Pistachio gelato (5/5) - this flavor is really so wonderful and the quality of gelato is just like Italy's. The gelato is nutty and not too sweet. -Dubai Chocolate Gelato (5/5) - only comes in one size and is $10. The chocolate is rich and creamy, and the topping gives that perfect crunch. I wish there were more strawberries for freshness, but overall a great dessert. However, it is very rich and sweet. read more

I recently visited Cafe Stellato for the first time and it exceeded my expectations. I decided to try the Dubai strawberry chocolate gelato, thinking it might be a bit overhyped, but it turned out to be absolutely amazing. The gelato was incredibly creamy and had just the right balance of sweetness. Afterward, we had some sandwiches and they didn't disappoint either. The flavors were fresh, and everything was prepared with care. The staff were incredibly kind. There's not a lot of seating inside but there's more tables outside of the place. read more

Friendly service, delicious food, and great vibes all around. A quaint gelato, sandwich deli, candy shop all in one! The sandwiches are delicious and filling! With so many different options to choose from, we will definitely come back to try more. I also got the Caprese salad, which had plenty of mozzarella balls and nice flavor. 2 sandwiches and a salad set us back about $50, but it was enough for 2 meals for 2 people. Afterwards, you can walk 5 steps to the gelato station where you can also get a hefty scoop of gelato for $5, or try their new Dubai chocolate gelato for $10! Delicious! read more

A chance encounter with a friendly Jordanian led me to this sweets shop. He told me that he worked here and that they had a wide variety of vegan flavors. I had already received a recommendation by my cousin to check out this area in Burlingame because of the lively but casual shopping atmosphere. This shop exceeded my expectations when I stopped in for a quick treat after working late. I had the vegan Caramel, Date, Almond, and Oat Milk gelato in a waffle cone - it was delicious. It reminded me of the boutique ice cream shop that I used to frequent in Orlando, so I'm glad to find a local spot that is just as creative with the flavors! read more

My daughter and i have been coming since This place opened. Ive never had a bad experience. This last time, well, service could have been better.

2.5/5: Pistachio gelato: It's too sweet, and the flavor is weak because not enough pistachio paste is used. It has a lot of whole pistachios mixed into the gelato, which get rubbery. Very high level of stabilizers; it's very thick and pasty. The display is piled high. read more

The Caffe Stellato is an unassuming little cafe/deli/grocery store. They literally have one tiny table and two chairs for customers. Service was excellent, but I only got one cup of gelato. You wouldn't expect much drama there, right? (I'm talking to you, Eataly) Anyway the gelato is amazing. We got the mocha chip and black sesame. Both were dense, thick and had excellent depth of flavor. Everything tasted like it was actually sourced from the item it was labeled as. They also have lots of esoteric candies for sale and a full espresso bar. read more

Found this hidden gem by total chance after exiting five little monkey toy store. Nice hot day so I like looked up ice cream on yelp only to look ok up and see the front of this store calling my name with visible pictures of scooped ice cream ( btw totally didn't see it in the top 5 list of shops advertised on YELP for me. I'm so glad I like looked up vs just following the pages suggested. Store is small and quaint located on Burlingame Ave toward the train station side. Staff was super friendly upon entering the store. They gave me time to peruse the menu and the cases and were kind enough to allow me to try samples ( made my mind up after 2). The female employee was super sweet to make suggestions on what to pair and what is popular and tasty. As strange as my pairing looks it complimented very well with each other to balance sweetness and citrusy flavors. So happy to find them by chance (apparently open for 5 years now) and will definitely come back to try more. read more

While I usually do not do well with dairy, I would make an exception for the gelato at Caffe Stellato. I've had this place on my bucket list for quite some time, but it wasn't until yesterday that my boyfriend and I were finally able to try some of their gelato. (Note: they also sell Italian sandwiches, and their shop is filled with really cool sweets and candies!) Their gelato case had tons of flavors - both conventional and unique (think halo halo, ube, and black sesame). What I love is that Caffe Stellato also has a wide selection of vegan/dairy-free flavors! Customers are only allowed 2 samples. While I wish they allowed more, 2 samples was enough for us to decide on their espresso flavor. This was a very memorable gelato. The espresso was the star of the show. We only needed to share a scoop to feel really satisfied. My only criticism is to offer more samples! But overall a really tasty gelato shop. read more

This is a cool deli located in Burlingame. It does feel a little old timey inside. They have a sandwich station as well as a gelato station. I will have to try the gelato at another time! We ordered a hot Mafioso sandwich and brought it back to eat at home. I overall thought the sandwich was pretty good. The ingredients were: "Prosciutto di Parma, turkey, Italian mortadella and (pancetta) bacon with works." The quality of the ingredients felt fresh and high quality and the bread tasted good too. The sandwich was a little on the pricey side ($17+tax/any tip) but it was large enough to feed two people. I would come back to try their other sandwiches and gelato. read more

We just got back from Rome and were hanging for gelato. Quick search of Yelp and a random pick close to our destination brought up Caffe Stellato. Oh my goodness! Over 60 choices? It's all too much. We chose two kinds and got a scoop each. Staff was so nice and attentive. The place is clean and beautifully presented. Gelato was amazing! Just go! Deli and snacks and Italian food items. Forgot photo, too busy eating lol read more

Texture of the gelato is nice and stiff. Friend recommended spumoni and I would agree with that recommendation. Felt like the rum raisin didn't have enough of that deep rum flavor. Pistachio also didn't have as big a flavor. Chocolate is nice. read more

Was in the neighorhood, so I thought I'd give myself a little treat! There were *so* many flavors offered; it was definitely difficult to choose! Since I usually go for something tart and not too sweet, I settled on a single scoop of passion fruit sorbet, passion fruit being my go-to choice for anything if it's offered! It didn't disappoint. It was smooth and tart and not too sweet. They offer food, too. There's a whole sandwich or food menu board in the back of the store and there was a refrigerated case that contained single servings of some of Dianda's pastries. They have a candy section of packaged offerings. I didn't really look around too much because the person at the counter didn't seem too friendly or welcoming. Maybe next time! read more

There are few foods I enjoy more than a fresh deli sandwich, and I was quite pleased with the sandwiches at Cafe Stellato! Cafe Stellato is a very cute cafe that greets you with a display of fantastic looking gelato (which I will be trying next time I come in!). But there are also a plethora of sandwich options available to those who make their way in toward the back of the cafe. I ordered the Stellato Special with the works, and my partner ordered the Alpino. The combination of turkey, artichoke, and sun dried tomatoes were delicious, and the ingredients all tasted very fresh. When asked, I opted for the spicy calabrese spread, though I was slightly disappointed that there was no real spice to it. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the Alpino as well, and commented multiple times on how tasty the pancetta (Italian bacon) was! Our order was taken very quickly, and the sandwiches were prepared nice and quickly. Everyone working there was friendly and efficient. I will definitely be coming back to eat my way through more of their sandwich menu. And next time, I think I'll be topping it off with some of that great looking gelato! read more

Great Italian sandwiches. Makes me feel like I have a San Francisco Italian sandwich place in my own home town. More than I usually spend for a single sandwich, but it is good. It's a nice treat every once in a while. I love the vibe inside. If I were a kid or teenager I would probably always be in there. A great stop for gelato anytime, but I think it's a special spot to bring in friends visiting from out-of-town. read more

I'm just not having any luck with my gelato choices. The watermelon tasted stale and artificial, and the lychee had ice crystals in it. No bueno. That said, my hubby's stracciatella was pretty good. My advice, ask to taste before you commit. read more

This seems to be a pretty new addition here, it was here for ages as purely a gelato shop, but now they're a deli as well! Stopped by and got a tuna sandwich to go, and truth is I didn't have high hopes, e.g. I got my sandwich within just a couple of minutes after a teenager working behind the station seemed to slap it together in speedy time. After I got it home, I was so so humbled and stunned at how awesome and tasty it was, super balanced condiments and flavors, fresh, everything as I'd asked on dutch crunch. The price is right, an amwesome place with reasonable prices for a sandwich to go plus they have a huge variety of high quality gelatos on the cone or cups. The customer service efficient and frendly. There's a few tables to sit outside or take home. Parking can be tough, especially on weekends, despite the many nearby parking garages. read more
