Such a cute ice cream shop! The young ladies inside were very sweet! I love that you can sit down inside and have ice cream or coffee!
Don't let the unassuming location fool you! This Morris Avenue ice cream shop is the real deal. The quality is consistently excellent, flavors are thoughtfully crafted, and every scoop tastes fresh. It's one of those places that doesn't need flashy branding because the product speaks for itself.
Cannella Gelato is such a gem tucked right on historic Morris Ave; the location alone makes it worth stopping by, but the experience sealed the deal for me. I ordered the affogato for the first time, and it was absolutely amazing; creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. I'm pretty sure I finished it in under five minutes! The person at the counter was super helpful and kind, especially since it was my first time trying an affogato. They walked me through what it was and even suggested the best flavor pairing. You can really tell they care about creating a good experience. The space itself feels cozy and inviting perfect for a quick dessert stop after dinner downtown or a stroll through Morris Ave. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors, but the affogato has officially become my new favorite treat.
Super kind staff. Very patient and let us try multiple flavors. It's always nice when people are willing to engage with you, ask you how your day was and learn more about you. The gelato has the perfect soft texture and isn't too heavy on your stomach. I felt refreshed and energized after eating it. The lemon lavender goat cheese ice cream had a delicious citrusy flavor. The goat cheese was subtle. The lavender flavor shined through. The blood orange is delicious, not too much of a bitterness or a bite to it. Perfectly balanced flavors. Loved sitting outside.
Great gelato here! They have a lot of interesting flavors I hadn't even heard of as well as your classic flavors. Staff is super friendly here too!
Coming here was such a treat!! The location is so cute and being located on Morris Ave, only adds to the vibe. The gentleman worker was helpful. I sampled two flavors of gelato. I was immediately sold on the lemon , lavender, honey /goat cheese. Canella Gelato has been on my radar and it did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious and well crafted! I plan to order coffee on my next visit. Stay tuned ....
Italian gelato in the heart of Birmingham! Based on the natural colors of their flavor selection, I'm assuming it's fairly authentic. I did a split flavor kids scoop and it was a perfect amount for a post-lunch treat. They also let you sample which is a plus! Pricing is pretty standard, nothing baffling. There's plenty of space to sit outside or inside. Birmingham has some pretty great ice cream spots, and I'd this one to the list!
This place is ducked off but it is a nice place to definitely check out. I am not a big gelato person but enjoyed it this time around. The staff is friendly and welcoming as the business was very clean. Looking forward to trying other flavors when I come back to visit.
definitely a new found spot for a good dessert! the place was a little whole in the wall place by pizza grace and it was so cute!
I had no idea this little slice of heaven was here. Very clean and quaint shop along the cobblestone roadway. I loved that they let you have samples of the different flavors. I chose the banana pudding and OMG it was delicious. I mean it tastes just like actual banana pudding! The service was amazing and our server was very patient with our group of 5 ladies.
I love traveling on the cobblestone road to this gelato shop lol it is so cute inside and the staff was very patient. I ordered two flavors, the lemon, lavender, honey and goat cheese and the mango. The gelato was really good and I can't wait to visit this location again. Inside is small with limited seating. Street parking is available. Definitely recommend this gelato shop.
Gelato without the cult indoctrination (if you know, you know) WOW I came in here on a whim after dinner across the hall. I love the concept of the mercantile and the whole aesthetic. Such a cute, clean shop, with FANTASTIC hand made gelato. Customer service was lovely and so patient while my husband and I each tried several flavors before selecting ours. My husband had jasmine and cappuccino, I had stracciatella and chocolate sorbet (WOW for a sorbet, my mind was blown). We already can't wait to come back and try more flavors! The prices are very reasonable too. We don't have a single criticism.
Morris Avenue is still a treat to travel down. The environment is priceless. This place is on the far side of it. We had a sweet tooth and decided to satisfy it here. They let you taste the flavors. I decided to go with mango. Next time I will try two flavors. It was really good. Only thing was they didn't have lids to go over the cups so be ready to eat it there if you are driving.
One last stop before heading home from Bham! I'd had this spot bookmarked and it was a short drive from where we ate, so we headed on over to get some dessert. This gelateria is tucked away in a cute area. The road is like...cobblestone? Or very uneven and narrow at least. Wasn't super friendly for our car. Probably better to walk from somewhere else nearby. The inside was super weirdly hot, which was unexpected. Fortunately we were getting our goodies to go. There's very limited seating inside but you could maybe grab a spot if you wanted to. I ordered a scoop of hazelnut gelato and husband got chocolate. The flavor selection is somewhat simple and limited but that's not necessarily a bad thing - product seems very high quality. Service was acceptable, quiet and matter of fact. The serving size was generous. Both gelatos were good, but my hazelnut was great! It was so pleasantly nutty and sweet, and the texture was amazing. I'd definitely order this treat again! Give them a try if you're a gelato fan. Yum! read more
Cannella is my favorite gelato (or ice cream for that matter) in Birmingham! The flavors they have are hard to come anywhere else. My personal favorite pistachio is always available which I love. I also really enjoy the pineapple habanero which is uniquely sweet and spicy. The gelato consistency is dense and silky and reminds me of Europe. The staff here is friendly and will let you try multiple flavors to help you decide. It has limited seating inside but there's more outside which is nice on a cool day. They also have a full coffee menu which is a plus. If you're more of an espresso or pourover person they make it really well! read more
Food first, thoughts after... This was such a treat. The texture and quality of the gelato is so good. The flavors delicious. The store has plenty of space and seating in addition to outdoor seatings. Great hang out spot! read more

I'm in town from Atlanta for work & stumbled upon this place close to my Airbnb. As a newbie to Alabama, I had no idea a lot of spots stay closed throughout the week but this gelato spot is open on a Monday which I'm so thankful for. The service here was exquisite and they let me try multiple flavors before deciding. They have a lemon lavender honey goat milk gelato and it is AMAZING!!! It's something I'll probably be dreaming about back in Atlanta so it's a for sure place to stop by if you're ever near this area. Looks like they serve coffee too so if you're looking for just coffee or affogatos as well, I highly recommend. There's plenty do street parking and to the looks of it, no one is actually checking the meters. This area seems to be developing a lot, but it's a true treat that this business is here to serve treats to those nearby. I'll definitely be back when I come back to Alabama! read more
