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 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. read more

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. read more

We came here looking to cool down and after a visit to the Civil Rights Institute. It was nice to get off our feet and enjoy the covered outdoor eating area in the old building nestled between it and another restaurant. It is on a cobblestone road that was nice and bumpy, but we were able to find a great parking spot right in front on this Saturday afternoon. Normally, gelato place have standard flavors, but htis place has come unique ones. They are great with sampling and I tried the mint stracciatella, which was unique and very strong on the mint flavoring, which I love! I got the next size up from the kids size and they let you select up to 2 flavors with this size, so I got that and the espresso chip, which had little chips that were the perfect size for that texture to hit just right in your mouth! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Will preface by saying that I've been to Italy and have had authentic gelato: We had just finished dinner and were craving something savory & sweet. We knew of a few different spots that served sweet treats, but wanted something new. After pulling into a handicap parking spot (mistakenly) and searching for something, I found Canella Gelato. When we arrived and walked in, we were warmly greeted by staff and were shown a multitude of options. Everything looked delicious so, of course, the patron had the option (privilege) of sampling the gelato. I decided to get the cookies & cream/strawberry combo. Fiancé decided on coffee alone. Although the strawberry and cookies & cream were very good, I got a taste of her coffee and I was astounded.. I do not like coffee flavored anything outside of the actual stuff, but this was some of the best tasting gelato I've ever had. 5/5 for sure. We've been twice and found that the service, product, and ambience are the same and that's exactly what we desire. 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

The Sweet and the Absurd: A Birmingham Creamery's Baffling Economics…read moreTo step into Big Spoon Creamery in Birmingham is to subject oneself to a masterclass in both artisanal delight and bureaucratic absurdity. On my visits--a pilgrimage undertaken reliably every month and a half--the front-line staff have never been anything short of exemplary. They are the cheerful stewards of a deeply baffling system, executing their duties with a warmth that almost distracts you from the institutional quirks around them. I say "institutional" because the management themselves are entirely phantom. They are never seen on the floor. Perhaps this is a calculated evasion; if they were ever present, they would surely have to field a relentless, exasperated inquisition regarding the tragic and ongoing absence of their finest creation: the "Magic City." Why an ice cream parlor would willingly suppress its undisputed masterpiece remains an enduring mystery. Even if the economics of its ingredients demanded a premium surcharge, "Magic City" ought to be enshrined as an immovable staple on the menu. Instead, the menu is a restless, ever-shifting carousel. I concede that a relentless churn of novelty is a virtue to a certain type of customer, but the soul of a great neighborhood institution relies on the comforting reliability of a few anchor flavors. At Big Spoon, just as you develop an affection for a flavor, it vanishes into the ether. Then, we must examine the rewards program, an endeavor so poorly conceived it borders on the avant-garde. The mathematics are punishingly flat: one point per order, regardless of whether the patron spends a single dollar or one hundred. The rational response to such a broken incentive structure is, naturally, to weaponize the system. To extract any genuine value, the savvy customer is forced into a theatrical display of micro-transactions, paying for each scoop separately. It is a loophole that needlessly punishes the very staff who make the establishment shine, forcing them to run the register three or four times for a single family's dessert. Finally, there is the creamery's bizarre pricing taxonomy. A close study of the board reveals an accidental arbitrage opportunity: the customer is objectively better off purchasing two distinct pints of ice cream and two empty waffle cones to assemble on their own time, rather than engaging in the straightforward, intended transaction of ordering ice cream scooped directly into a cone. Whoever is pulling the levers behind the curtain at Big Spoon clearly fancies themselves a clever operator, disrupting the traditional ice cream parlor model with dynamic menus and gamified loyalty. But in their pursuit of perpetual novelty and labyrinthine economics, they have embodied the old proverb perfectly: they are entirely too clever by half.

Even though I wasn't planning to stay, the inside immediately caught my eye it was bright, fun, and full of energy, the kind of place that makes you want to come back just to hang out. I was completely unsure of what to order because there were so many options, but the staff was incredibly kind and patient. They offered recommendations, explained the different flavors, and even let me try a few samples so I could figure out what I liked! I ended up choosing a caramel vanilla-based ice cream, and it was delicious!! So rich, smooth, and not overly sweet. The whole experience felt welcoming from start to finish. Even for a quick to‑go stop, they made it memorable, and I'll definitely be returning to explore more of their enticing menu!

My husband told me that we had a reservation at Bayonet. I was immediately excited because I had…read moreheard great things about this restaurant and it would be our first time going. Neither of us are fans of raw oysters, so I was really interested in what we would order. MC waited on us and did a phenomenal job of recommendations of items that were not raw. I wanted to try the Tea'D Up drink. It was beautifully blended and absolutely delicious. For my meal, I ordered the scallop tostada. It was so fresh and flavorful. My husband ordered the Reuben made with swordfish. I had a bite of it and it was also very good. We actually saved room for dessert and tried the fried peach pie. I would describe it as a really good peach cobbler empanada. It was served with a small scoop of sour cream vanilla sorbet. Hearing the sour cream part scared me just a tad, but it paired perfectly with the peach pie. I'd go back to Bayonet today!

I had a great dinner here and can't wait to try more of their menu when I return. Foodies (like…read moremyself) will enjoy this place, from the vibes to the details in decor, food, and service. And I express my thanks to my servers and bartenders, who were not only attentive in service, but also offered recommendations which led me to a great dining experience. In short, I had the following: -dry-aged Shima Ahi crudo ( flew in from Japan) -a Mordella sandwich, and -peach fried pie. My wine pairing for my dishes was a California Albariño, which was a great surprise. I'm now searching for this winemaker to add bottles to my cellar. Every dish I tried was my favorite in its own way. Each meal was well-balanced and highlighted the flavors of every ingredient. The mortadella sandwiches featured a playful twist with Cobia fish, and the house-made focaccia bread, where the mortadella and Cobia spread are nestled, was truly what focaccia dreams are made of. Plus the garlic aioli for the fries is money !!! And the peach fried hand pie was the perfect end to a great meal. The aromatics of caramelized glaze comes across like it might be super sweet. But when you bit into the flaky buttermilk pastry crust it gave it a warm, humble feeling with the perfectly diced peaches pie filling adding the right touch of sweetness. And as a special treat, this hand pie is paired with a sour cream-lemon sorbet which I didn't know I needed in my life that was refreshing. The peach fried pie is a seasonal dessert, so enjoy it while you can. Overall, the ambiance and music were spot on making it a vibe that you definitely want to come for dinner or just enjoy cocktails which looked really yummy( but that's for another time ). The unique decor, with a mix of midcentury meets fisherman lighting and a crowned octopus handles tap beer, was a lovely detail when you get to sit back and enjoy. Even the plateware where food sits on is crafted by a local Bham female artisan at Civil Stoneware, is a nice touch ( which I was obsessed with ). I hope your experience is as great as mine. Happy dining y'all!

This fruity red blend, served cold, pairs well with fish.
