    I mean this in the best way possible that lemon cookie tastes exactly like pledge smells. Delicious

    Friendly service and great gelato. The parking is a bit small for such a busy little area so be ready to wait for a spot. Clean and cute.

    Every time I walk past this place, I see so many people getting gelato. As a huge gelato fan, I finally decided to stop by today and OMG, why didn't I visit earlier?! So creamy and so good! They have so many flavors too! Such a cute gelato spot, and they also sell sandwiches. One side wall is completely filled with Haribo gummies! No seating inside, so it's more of an easy grab and go spot, but there are benches outside. Such a hidden gem for gelato! Must try if you're a gelato fan!

    Delicious gelato!!! My boyfriend and I stopped by here for a dessert after lunch one day. We parked in the lot right next to the place. We were greeted by the staff there. He was friendly and nice. We tried a couple samples, and we each chose two different flavors on cone and a cup. I honestly don't remember what flavors we got. I think he got a coffee one and something else. While I chose two Asian flavors. Maybe lychee? Anywho, they were all very yummy. I would definitely return again when I'm in the area. :)

    Zero vibes but IDGAF Absolutely delicious gelato, creamy thicc texture that even broke my gelato spoon but I wasn't even mad Some of the best ube (purple yam) and black sesame gelato I've had in years at this unassuming spot Instagram: TianTianEats

    Such a delicious gelato place! Came here for dessert on a Friday night and were served quickly. I went to Italy last year and can tell you that this gelato is up to par with the gelato from over there. The pistachio (5/5) gelato was a great flavor, creamy, dense, and everything you're hoping for. I can't wait to come back! They also have candies and serve Italian sandwiches. I was asking about the Dubai chocolate gelato, but you can't substitute the ice cream at the bottom (has to be chocolate). That's a bummer because I would've loved the Dubai topping with the pistachio ice cream!

    Wow. The stretchiest gelato I've ever had. The gelato place that was here prior to this one was my favorite in Palo Alto. I was bummed that it closed down a couple years ago. I'm so happy another gelato place opened up in its spot. In fact, I think this might even be better than the previous one! I knocked down a star because unfortunately we could only sample 2 flavors. I understand why they have a limit, but there are so many other gelato and ice cream places around that doesn't limit us, so it felt very restrictive (especially since they offer so many unique flavors!). Their sample spoon is different than the gelato spoon. The gelato spoon is a lot sturdier and it made sense after I started eating it. The gelato is thicc...in a good way.

    Dubai Chocolate Gelato (One size - $10)

    **** DUBAI CHOCOLATE GELATO **** 4.5 STARS For those who missed out on Ghirardelli's one day offering of the Dubai Chocolate Sundae.... Hit up Caffe Stellato in PA or Burlingame. (Hila Gelato in SF also has their own version but I liked Caffe Stellato's a lot better.) TikTok/influencers haven't blown it up yet so there isn't a line. This Italian gelato shop serves top-tier gelato with over 42 flavors. They also have made-to-order Italian sandwiches and a wall of candies, chocolates, and snacks. There's a mini Dubai chocolate bar for $7.99. D U B A I C H O C O L A T E G E L A T O - One size: $10 The valrhona chocolate gelato is perfectly thick and dense (no air pockets) with a delicious milky chocolatey flavor and an ever so light bitter nuance so is not too sweet. It's topped with a drizzle of pistachio cream, crushed pistachios, and kataifi (toasted shredded phyllo). The first several bites with the topping were sublime like the real deal, rich and nutty with a buttery crunch. But then you're just left with a scoop of chocolate gelato. Suggestion to mgmt: Do a split scoop of the chocolate gelato, layer it with the pistachio cream + kataifi, top it with another split scoop of gelato, and finish it with pistachio cream, kataifi, and crushed pistachios. 5 stars for the quality of Caffe Stellato's gelato but unfortunately I gotta round down because I was hoping for more pistachio cream and kataifi.

    Gelato craving satisfied! I absolutely was delighted with the amount of flavors they had to offer. It's hard to go wrong with good gelato. My absolute favorite was their coffee flavor. It's a must try for a late night snack in my opinion. Service was quick and friendly, ambiance is great especially around the Mountain View area. 100% recommend.

    Candy wall
    Helen T.

    Café Stellato is a straight-up delight. The candy wall grabs your attention the second you walk in, but it's the gelato and sorbet--served in generous, real Italian scoops--that keep you here. Top picks: * Passion fruit -- bright and tangy * Raspberry -- perfectly tart * Hazelnut -- silky, classic Italian goodness The staff jokes with you and makes you feel like a regular on visit one. Desserts? Fantastic. Vibes? Even better. Next time, I'm diving into their sandwiches because if they're anything like the gelato... I'm ready.

    E Y.

    I wasn't very hungry today, so I customized the sandwich and took a lot of toppings off. They got my order exactly right, which was great. The sandwich was so delicious, and it was going to be my new favorite spot. But halfway through, I found a bug in it. I'm hoping it was just a one off, and I didn't eat a bunch of bugs before looking. I'm hoping maybe it's from under washed veggies, and not just bugs crawling around the meat. Pretty disappointed. The gelato was great, and I've been here before to get a milkshake, which was amazing as well.

    I've come here in multiple occasions and they have never failed to amaze me. this evening right after dinner, decided to come by and have a gelato. noticed they have a new Dubai chocolate gelato and was ecstatic to try. When I came in, the place as always is clean and well maintained. The two gentlemen behind the counters serving are friendly and welcoming. I ordered my Dubai chocolate gelato cup and I saw how he made it with freshly delicious ingredients. The price is affordable and once I received it and tasted, it was just soo yummy! I won't hesitate to return.

    Strawberry lavender honey
    Leslie N.

    Saw this cute little ice cream shop after eating at the Mediterranean food right across. Walked in and saw so many flavors, some flavors you don't really see in other shops. What caught our eyes was the strawberry honey lavender flavor. Usually it's always two separate flavors at other ice cream shops. The taste was amazing!! None of the flavors overpowered each other. You can still taste the strawberry, lavender, and sweetness from the honey. The smell was mostly lavendery but we didn't mind that. It was a nice refreshing smell. The texture was soft and stretchy with every bite. I would come back again if we're around the area!

    Brandi H.

    My friend saw that this place recently opened so we came to try it. The man working was super nice and offered us samples of the flavors. I tried the black sesame and lychee. Both were good! I ended up getting a 1 scoop of the lychee. He said it tastes exactly like the fruit and he was right. I will definitely be back. There are so many fun flavors to try.

UPDATE: I had a second interaction with the same cashier and was even more unpleasant. She handed me my pastry with disdain. When I asked if it could be warmed up, she responded as if I was an imposition. One of the more rude customer service interactions I've had in a while. I also saw her treat a different customer the same way when she asked where the bathroom was. This customer walked away looked astounded by the way the cashier treated her. It's rare that I leave a Yelp review, but felt this treatment needed to be addressed by a manager before this brand new Blue Bottle location loses more customers.

Our go-tos are usually an Iced Hojicha Einspanner and a pour over, Iced Americano, or an Espresso Tonic. We've tried their matcha as well, which is also solid! Every single time we have gone (which is usually when they open), there is already a line forming outside the door.

Their Hojicha Einspanner is sooo good. The Einspanner is so creamy and their Hojicha is the perfect, balanced amount of nutty flavors.
