First time visiting Naples and found "cesibon," the BEST ice cream place!! We went there multiple times during our stay and tried all their flavors. They were all unbelievably DELICIOUS! Simply splendid! They have the most exquisite flavors. Family own business, and you can tell that the ice creams were made with delicacy and love. I highly recommend this place, and it is just like its name says it "cesibon" So So Good! read more

This place makes incredible gelato!!! Always thinking about my next visit. I love the coconut but all the flavors are delicious.

Best gelato Ive ever had. I always try to try something new, but always end up getting chocolate and peanut butter. Im a sucker for peanut butter. This location is a hidden entity, and if your in North Naples, its located directly next to the Stein Mart. 5 stars all the way. read more

Store is immaculate from floor to ceiling, even the gelato tins are spotless. Maybe even a bit too sanitary (it smelled a bit like disinfectant). We tried a bunch of flavors. We had a big group and so I got to sample a bunch of flavors, peanut butter, lemon, coconut, strawberry, chocolate chip, straciatella. All were delicious, but have to disagree with the reviewer that said the owner was friendly. We were super friendly, asking questions, and the owner was expressionless. Didn't have much to say. No recommendations on flavors, wanted us to pay right away when we asked if we could pay after we ate (we were the only ones there). read more

Really loved this place for years. The original owners left last year and sold it. After that the gelato initially seemed consistent with the previous owners but we went today and it was just really bland and flavorless. Chocolate with almond just didn't taste like much. Straccitella had very few pieces of chocolate in it. Banana and peanut butter flavors were gone. Disappointed. Won't be back. read more

Love that they were open until 10. Obviously they are one of few dessert places open after 8pm. We arrived there at 9:45 and about 30 people came in after. Gelato is average, but the crepes look delicious. Cute French couple own it and work there to make it fresh everyday. read more

Ate the chocolate and French vanilla. GREAT stop in Naples. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Cesibon - Chocolate & French vanilla (medium) - Gelato Near Me - Naples, Florida

I had the cafe and vanilla gelato, it was too sugary and airy. Think of any cheap ice cream you had before... that was my Cesibon experience. Pas bon (not good). Definitely overpriced and it tastes like they are not using high quality ingredients. I agree with Yeni, the wife or older helper is not pleasant. I would not go back. read more

There is nothing about this little hidden spot that is not worth worth five stars. There were three of us and we all tried something different. I had the cafe and tiramisu. The coffee flavor was so delicious - strong, bold and just a little sweet. Perfection. The tiramisu tasted just like you were eating a piece, but oh so much richer and more decadent. My companions tried pistachio (tasted just like eating a handful of the little green nuts), dark chocolate (sinful) and strawberry (it was like sitting in a strawberry field eating perfectly ripened berries.) The owners are delightful - clearly very hard workers who are passionate about their business. I think this was my favorite stop when we visited Naples. It is really just that good. read more

They are closed every time I try to go there. The last time I was successful the gelato was excellent.

The confluence of a late-night ice cream craving, an outdated navigation system listing, and a little bit of luck led me to Cesibon last night for some amazing gelato. A lovely French man (who is also the owner) served us--I had a small waffle cone with dark chocolate almond and mint chocolate (drooling a bit just thinking about it) and it was one of the most delicious and decadent treats I've ever enjoyed. Creamy without being too rich and amazing depth of flavor without being cloyingly sweet. Don't let the exterior throw you off--an unassuming strip mall and a neon ice cream cone outside really don't do the delights within proper justice. In addition to gelato, they also serve sorbet (fresh made with real fruit) and a few other types of treats (frozen yogurt, etc.). And if you find yourself on the receiving end of a late night ice cream crave, they're open 'till 10pm on Friday & Saturday nights! read more

I don't get why this place is 5 stars....the flavors were very plain and common. The guy seemed burdened by giving us tastes even though we were the only ones in the store. I didn't get my own, but I tried a bit of everyone else's which included: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, pistachio, coconut, and lemon cake. I wasn't impressed, and I won't come back in the future. read more

True European Gelato in Naples, FL. My favorite flavor is the 'Yogurt with Berries' it is soo good! Not too sweet at all. They'll let you try any flavor until you've found the right one. The owners are extremely friendly. I would like to try their other offerings (Crepes, soft-serve), but I just can't get past the gorgeous display of gelato. read more

This is literally the best gelato I've had in my life! CASH ONLY!!! It's inside the strip mall with Stein Mart and next to the UPS store. Firstly, the service is wonderful. The owner manages the shop, and he is welcoming and will ask about you and make pleasant conversation. The decor is very simple, but that does not detract from what really matters here: THE PRODUCT! The gelato is creamy, without being too sweet and you can really taste the flavors. He gladly let us try many flavors. The coconut for example, has little coconut pieces. The coffee one has that earthy coffee flavor, and it's great! Great treat! Great service! Great everything! :) It really does not bother me that is cash only, it's a small locally owned business that is worth supporting. read more

By far, this is the best gelato that I ever had. The owners, originally from France, always greets you with a very friendly personality. This is a great way for me to practice some of the french that I had lost in my memory bank without feeling like a total fool. I was initially first turned off by the fact it was a cash-only establishment, but it is definitely worth finding an ATM for such a treat. The display of gelato faces the door, so you are greeted right then and there with a myriad of beautiful colors and flavors. They range from chocolate, dark chocolate with almonds, coconut, pistachio, biscotti, tiramisu, coffee to lemon, strawberry and other fruit flavors. The gelato has the perfect texture. It's not heavy, but has a light airy and smooth feel to it. My favorite is tiramisu. Hands down. On a homemade waffle cone. They offer many different sizes and you can get it in a cup. You also have the option of getting two flavors. In a world of being bombarded by frozen yogurt establishments in the area, this is a great, local small business that I'm all about supporting. You can find this hidden gem in Pelican Bay. read more

First things first, cash only! Another treasure found in yet another Publix Strip Mall. Omigod. This place is divine. I thought I knew great ice cream (for all intents and purposes, for one moment I will lump ice cream with gelato, but yes I do know they are different). I thought I've had the best. Sebastian Joe's in Minneapolis. Yes of course. But I think this place has them beat by a mile. Shhh... don't tell my friends in Minneapolis I said that. And Sebastian Joe's is also super good if you are ever in Minneapolis too. But this place is FREAKING AMAZING! The friendly French couple who owns it. God how many hours do they work a week? And always so friendly. We came here two consecutive nights and each night I had so many different flavors. Just try a bunch, they don't mind, get what you like best. Get a medium and you can have two different flavors, get a large and you can have three different flavors. I also appreciate the honesty. I asked the husband what his favorite flavor was, curious because they are all so good. He shrugged and said with his French accent "ehh I don't care, I've been making ice cream for 10 years". You gotta love that kind of honesty. Then we discussed Camus, Traffaut, and French existentialism versus German existentialism. Just kidding. That was the end of the conversation, he was pretty busy. But seriously. Go here. Eat here. I had one flavor (I think the cookies and cream) and it literally made me smile. I AM NOT JOKING. read more

Haven't had gelato like this since I was in Italy! This place is a find, go treat yourself to some amazing goodness. The gelato is top notch, but the crêpes are amazing. The owner of Cesibon learned to make gelato in Italy 20 years ago and then spent a few years in France only to spend the last 16 years in the USA making gelato and crêpes. The entire place was full and watched him make my wife a crêpe. It was amazeballs!!! Come support this cash only business owner who makes you feel like a part of the family. read more

This review is strictly based on their ice cream have not tried their crepes to comment. I really feel bad giving any place less than stellar reviews had no choice but to rate 3 stars or less. Tried this based upon Yelp reviews with the family. All four tried a flavor, yet 3 of us never finished which is very unusual for us, as we are usually fighting to get the last bite. Surprised at the 4 and 5 star rating. I personally suggest trying Adheldi's or Kilwin's both located on fifth. Over all was hoping this would be an awesome place based on reviews but would definitely not be returning. read more

Literally, one of THE best things I have ever put in my mouth. I wish I would have found this place earlier in my trip, but now that I know it's there, I might take a flight down there just to get the ice cream/gelato. The owner (who hand makes the ice cream/gelato with his hands from real fruit) was kind enough to let us sample (GET THE STRAWBERRY) and then let us pick two different flavors because we couldn't decide what to get. The price itself was unreal for the location (Naples, where everything is twice as much as anywhere else in the world). I mean, I can't even explain the sensation I had running through my body when I started to eat it. If you are anywhere within 50 miles of this place, I HIGHLY recommend that you take a trip through this hidden gem. Maybe the best part of my little vacay. read more

Clean, well cared for ice cream/gelato shoppe. Yogurt is not self serve like all the new froyo places. But the gelato is amazing! Worth the stop. read more

Biked from Delnor-Wiggins park and, oh, what a treat! Go, you'll be glad you did. We will be back...many times. read more

Cesibon - Gelato Near Me - Naples, Florida

All I can say is yuuuuummm! Found this little gem through Yelp..It could possibly be the creamiest gelato I have ever had! On the advice of another review I had the yogart and berries..it is fabulous.... tastes like an incredible creamy cheese cake...chocolate was equally rich and yummy...full of flavor...other family members had dark choc almond, coconut and butter pecan..all were fabulous although the butter pecan tasted a bit more like toffee but still yummy! We will be making this a regular stop in Naple! read more

Excellent gelato. We tried this place on our last evening in Naples. It's a good thing because had were tried it earlier in the trip we probably would have been eating it most evenings. We tried Royal Scoop across the street given its heavy endorsement by the locals. I was not particularly impressed and decided to see what Yelp could suggest and came across Cesibon. I tried the dark chocolate and the vanilla which were both excellent. Smooth, creamy, cold and refreshing. read more

RUN!!! Don't walk to this place. An authentic French Creperie and delicious, creamy gelato that comes in a wonderful assortment of different flavors, who could ask for anything more! This hidden gem is part of a big strip mall, so it's a little hard to find at first, but then, bingo! The French owner is so nice, just chat him and his wife up, or practice your French with them. They won't mind! Can't wait to come back to try more flavors. And of course, complimentary tastings of all the flavors to figure out exactly which one you need to bring home. Or just eat it all right there. They also have an outdoor seating section so you can enjoy a refreshing gelato in the sunshine. So what are you still doing reading this review? GO! read more

Without a doubt, the best ice cream I've ever had. Period. Tucked away in a shopping center at the southwest corner of US 41 Tamiami Trail and Vanderbilt, all the ice cream is hand made by the owner with real fruit. I had the Greek yogurt flavor with blueberry swirls. Now this was ice cream... not yogurt. It exploded with genuine flavor and the texture was incredibly smooth... unbelievable. I also had coconut. Amazing. Make the trip... go out of your way. Just be prepared with cash... no credit cards are accepted. Great owner too... very nice with kids. read more

OMG! The gelato is perfect! So smooth, so creamy, the flavors are true, natural, the sweetness spot on. Servings are generous. I had a small cup of dark chocolate with tossed almonds. I will dream about tonight. read more

There aren't enough stars to express how fantastic this place is! We all had sundaes with the dark chocolate w/roasted almonds, and all our flavors were absolutely delicious. We love trying new ice cream/yogurt/custard places, and this is probably the best we've had anywhere. My husband said he had gelato in Italy that wasn't this good! If you're in the area, you have to try Cesibon. read more

Cesibon - Gelato Near Me - Naples, Florida

By chance allowed a sinful indulgence of ice cream today. I walked in to Cesibon and was greeted by a cheerful "bonjour"! Asked to taste salted caramel... Amazing! But lemon and pistachio are my favorite so went with my go-to favs. Creamy, lemony deliciousness! The pistachio had real pistachios and was just divine. I was amazed there was not a line outside the door. Truly best ice cream in Florida! read more

Cesibon - Results of delicious gelato! - Gelato Near Me - Naples, Florida

I'm not a gelato connoisseur, but this was by far the best I've had! You know this small and quaint gelato shop is good by the abundance of people occupying it. All raving about their favorite flavors! Many friendly customers suggesting yogurt berries, peach, lemon, etc. I ordered 3 flavors: chocolate, caramel sea salt and yogurt berries. All delicious, super creamy and absolutely decadent. My favorite was the yogurt berries, a perfect combination of tart and sweet. Get it in a cone or in a cup. Opted for cup as they serve it with these mini waffle cookies, mmMMmmmMm! The fact all the employees converse in french behind the counter adds to the character of this place. They also serve sweet crepes, which look delicious!! Can't wait to try one. Oh, one warning, CASH ONLY. read more

Just following up, I went to Cesibon again today. And I confirm that it is still as fantastic as it was when I first went. Absolutely the best gelato I've ever had. This time I tried the pistachio and the butter pecan flavors. Unbelievable. So creamy, so rich. I even had a little blorping of real butter swirling through my gelato. So. Good. Just go there! read more

Creamy but lacking flavor. Had the dark chocolate and the pistachio. Both were smooth but not very flavorful. When we asked for a sample the guy just pointed to a sign saying they don't do samples. He couldn't even speak to us. We should have left immediately. Two other ice cream stores in the Naples area have given us samples. Stay clear of this place there are other friendlier and tastier options. read more

Great Nutella crepe. Wonderful staff. Kids enjoyed the gelato. Very comfortable ambiance. read more

Cesibon - Gelato Near Me - Naples, Florida

BEST GELATO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I recommend getting a container and bringing it home! There are too many options to just get one or two flavors. In the big dishes you get a lot for your money and you can add more flavors! Don't forget to bring cash but if you do there is an ATM at the publix right down the strip mall. read more

Went with another lady today & bill came to roughly $9.00. I paid & companion left tip. Upon exiting store I realized I left my blue water bottle inside establishment. Went back and saw bottle behind the register and asked for it. Man working the counter stated it was his bottle and he uses it to wash his hands with. Told him I wouldn't be back and he responded "good". What a nit wit. Lacking customer service. Original owners who moved to Hawaii were a pleasant and smiling couple. Naples resident read more

WHERE IS IT? The Yelp app made me curious for this place, but I had to drive back and forth at this Publix plaza several times before noticing the sign at the windows. No sandwich board up front and no lit-up signs up top. Be warned: it's at the corner! GLANCING AROUND The décor inside is rather plain--and doesn't make me want to hang out in there. I'd rather grab my nommies and hike the plaza. Compared to the Central Florida gelato places I'm used to, 16 varieties is not a lot. The flavors were your everyday, appeal-to-all, safe flavors. The worker patiently stood by and offered many samples to my rather large, undecisive party. Besides straight-up gelato, the (broken and worn) menu also promoted milkshakes and other treats created from the gelato. A couple Yelpers mentioned crepes--I didn't see any! BADA-BOOM YUM The taste is definitely the star. My lemon and vanilla mixed into a milkshake was creamy, smooth, and not too thick. Each flavor was deep but harmonized together. The chocolate gelato is rich, creamy, and feels and tastes homemade. Even my friend's pistachio contained sprinkles of the nut and she loved the deep flavors. read more

Nothing like a little gelato to push down that overindulgent meal. Headed to this spot after reading reviews on Yelp and TA. Not disappointed. + Gelato was fresh and tasty. (Dark Chocolate with Almonds, yum.) + Open late, until 10pm on Saturday Night. This is huge for Naples.... - Cash Only (really?) +/- The fact that its tucked away in a strip mall takes away from the "Je ne sais quoi" however considering its Naples, and EVERYTHING is in a strip mall-its inevitable. Happy Eats, xoxo, jad read more

The poor rating is not about the gelato- the gelato is good - there is not much selection but it's solid - the person working there, presumably the owner was rude and has poor customer service and communication skills. I asked a simple question and instead of dignifying it with a response he just pointed to a sign. I had read the sign and despite knowing what the sign said asked if there could be an exception made - but clearly I was not valuable enough of a customer for him to dignify me with a response - I am sure you can find better gelato and def better customer service elsewhere read more

I've eaten my share of gelato and this is up there with the best!!! Creamy, dreamy, full of flavor....real, rich, true flavor.....not a 'flavoring' REAL flavor! My favorite is the coconut....full of bits of coconut. The dark chocolate is also rich, chocolatey and when you taste it you will have to make a noise....like UMMMMMM SO GOOD. A true hidden gem in Naples! Seek it out! read more

Love. Love. Love this place. We come every-time we visit Naples. The dark chocolate almond and sea salt caramel are my two favorite flavors. The owner is always super kind. read more
