Long line. Staff is very kind, will let you try as many flavors as you want. I got the cherry and pistachio on a cone. Soooo good. The place is small, only outdoor available for sitting and eating your treat. 100% come here if youre craving gelato.
Went to check some sweet Italian gelato indulgence while in Spain. Found this place, it was a local favorite since I see a lot of locals buying in and out. There were 3 employees in the short aisle which is a lot for American standards. There were staff was very nice and was able to sample some of the flavors before buying. They have some few sittings inside but it's best enjoyed strolling in the beautiful neighborhood of Sant Antoni.
I heard this was the best spot for gelato in Barcelona, and was excited to try. There was a huge line but it moved at a decent speed - we waited maybe a total of 10 minutes. I got the pistachio and dark chocolate, and to my surprise liked the dark chocolate a lot more. The texture of the gelato was really good, but I felt that the pistachio lacked the depth and nuttiness that I was used to from other places. I did enjoy the dark chocolate however, which was really smooth and rich but not too sweet. Prices are super reasonable, and they're generous with the scoops! I'd still come back for a sweet treat.
Why 5 stars? Because I want to try everything here. --- --- --- This is not very unusual for me when visiting a gelato spot, but the biggest problem I had is that I wanted to try virtually every flavor they had and couldn't decide what to order. Apparently a limit of one sample is kind of a thing here, which kind of sucks, but it also saves me from being a stereotypical gluttonous American pig. I have no shame when it comes to sampling half of the inventory. I ultimately settled on a scoop of coconut and a scoop of tiramisu. Both were straight fire and eggplant emojis. DelaCrem is true to its name as most of the gelato spots in the area kind of looked like the same place, but this stuff just looked and tasted creamier than the rest. I highly recommend walking past the other shops and going out of your way to try a place that had more a "locals come here" vibe than the rest of the shops in the city.
As the reviewers said, the line is long. We waited nearly 30 min and I ended up getting the pistachio and hazelnut on the cone. The flavors had a very distinct taste to me. It wasn't bad, but it was good so I wonder if that is what makes this ice cream store so popular? A friend said the flavor profiles were extra nutty, but given they are of nut sources. That makes sense right? The ice cream scoopers speak English and were very friendly, they event offered to let me use the restroom inside while I was in the queue which was convenient after I had a drink nearby.
When I tell you that the line was wrapped around the corner...it's because it really was!!! It was the only late night ice cream place open in the area so that just adds to the line of course. Also, the pressure is on when ordering! It's better to have an idea of what you want and be ready to order it...no time for samples when the line is super long and everyone wants their late night sweet fix! But truly it was so worth it!!!! Not really a place to sit and hangout more of a grab and go situation because it is a small location.
I was recommended to check this spot out by a local and this place really lived up to the hype. The gelato was so creamy and delicious but also light and smooth. I definitely recommend the crema de Rosas flavor. The passion fruit flavor was really sour which helped balance out the sweetness! This place also has a bathroom and some indoor and outdoor seating which is always a plus!
Their pistachio gelato is TO DIE FOR. Super nutty and creamy, absolutely phenomenal. Don't wait on it!
The first night in Barcelona my girlfriend (at the time) and I got to spot by to get some gelato. This is a pro-tip to everybody reading this, if gelato is served in metal tins with lids it's the good stuff. If the gelato stacked higher then the metal container it's not good. In the case, the mostly put air in it. Lastly, if gelato has bright colors it's most likely not authentic.
The long line is worth the wait!!! The line for gelato was down the block but moved very quickly. The lemon & watermelon gelato were fresher than I have ever imagined. The flavors were spot on and so refreshing! I wish I could have tried more. The shop is very small but they have a great flavor selection. Best gelato I've had in Barcelona!

Fresh, delicious gelato. The vanilla is amazing! Simple but SO good. The chocolate is good as well, but rich. The dulce de leche, mango, and strawberry were great as well. This was our favorite in Barcelona and we tried four different places. Friendly tip-- be sure to get there at least 15 minutes before close -- they cut off the line. We got there and had to hold a sign as the last people. read more

Delicious ice cream without an insane price tag. I had the chocolate from Peru and a holiday ice cream to honor Saint Joan. The line took about 30 minutes as this is a very popular place. read more
Please forgive me Father, for I have sinned: I forgot to do a review for the BEST FREAKING GELATO I was lucky to try while in this beautiful, historic, artsy, hip-yet-aged, architecturally pleasing, mega foodie city!! This place fits perfect into the campus surroundings: Super small inside - it's literally big enough for a single-file line to move in and out. There are a few very small tables, so it's a squeeze inside no matter how you look at it. There is cafe table seating outside, which was nice. It seemed more of a take-and-stroll kinda atmosphere, as beautiful nights in Barcelona are a regular occurrence!! DelaCrem takes pride in their ice cream and sorbet. All of their ice cream is homemade daily with gluten-free, fresh ingredients. All of their sorbets are vegan. Because it's almost a year past, I'm having trouble remembering the flavors I chose. I know one was a scope of their Pistachio, which was THE. BEST. PISTACHIO. I'VE. EVER. HAD. Un-freakin-believable! So damn flavorful. Their pistachio is NOT green at all (it's the bottom left scoop in the picture!), which that tells me right there that they don't use any lame-ass flavor syrups or additives. Score!! I HIGHLY recommend you take a stroll over to DelaCrem next time you're in Barcelona... I know I will ;D read more
I was craving something sweet and checked out Delacrem. I had the Vanilla and Tiramisu gelato with Spanish orchata. All were absolutely fantastic! Do not fret if you see a long line, the employees here hustle and are wonderful and patient folks. read more

Over the past decade or so I've been pleased to find that just about every major modern city around the world has it's go-to gelato shop that delivers, and DelaCrem is without question that for the city of Barcelona. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? The lines at DelaCrem can grow long and in some cases overwhelm the tiny little shop, but even so the fast and friendly service do a great job keeping things moving. You've got numerous languages spoken by the staff, and credit cards are accepted even for small orders. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? €4,50 got me a medium portion in a cup with two flavors, which turned out to be a reasonable price given the richness and quality of this gelato. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? This gelato was just about perfect, and my cinnamon caramel combination was fantastically rich with great consistency that didn't melt too quickly, which is a common benchmark for whether they've gotten the sugar and fat content right. Single Star. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? This isn't the best gelato I've had anywhere, but it's the best in Barcelona. Star. read more
For me, summer in Europe always means gelato and in Barcelona, DelaCrem, is one of the best! Owner Massimo Pignata comes from Piedmont, Italy and his gelato is made the way it's supposed to be - fresh daily from seasonal, 100% natural and organic ingredients that were picked from the market just hours earlier. There's only about a dozen or so of these rotating seasonal flavours but each flavour is done right and held in temperature controlled covered containers at about -13°C ensuring the perfect consistency: that point between firm but not hard; and soft but not meltingly so. Be careful though and eat it quickly though! It was about 25 degrees Celsius when I went and less than a minute after leaving the store, the gelato was already starting to melt. I decided to get a small cone (only 2.50€) and chose Leche Merengada and Pistachio for my flavours. The Pistachio was delicious: nutty and creamy with the slightest salty aftertaste. The Leche Merengada is a Catalan flavor with lemon, cinnamon and cream which tastes almost like a horchata in gelato form. Both were wonderful and a perfect way to beat the heat. And to make it even better, the staff were nice enough to top the Leche Merengada with even more cinnamon - great customer service. Definitely worth the walk into L'Eixample district. read more

Located at Carrer d'Enric Granados 15, the nearby University of Barcelona providing a steady stream of traffic during a particularly warm Wednesday in September, it was as an afternoon snack that two visitors sat down at DeLaCrem, the Gelateria opened in 2010 still considered the best in the city with a rotating selection of over one hundred flavors with at least eight new ones available monthly. Originally opened as just a Gelato Shop, the small space since expanding to offer Espresso and a few baked goods with everything made on site and hours beginning at 13h00 on Weekdays and at 09h30 Saturday, it was stepping around a small group enjoying their scoops that the tight store was entered shortly after 15h00, the staff bilingual and happy to offer samples though visibly a bit stressed as every seat in the place was filled with more orders coming. Focusing on classic Italian methods and mostly Organic ingredients, the Milk and Eggs all sourced locally with a focus on Nuts and seasonal Fruits, it should go without saying that although some atypical flavors are found amongst DeLaCrem's collection the vast majority are fairly traditional, the single type of Chocolate bitter and dark while Fruits such as Apple and Grape were each far lighter and very refreshing. Invited to decide amongst several sizes, the largest offering up to four flavors for just €5, it was with the aforementioned Grape alongside Fig, Pistachio and creamy Caramel that a gaping Waffle Cone was topped, each flavor a pure expression of quality ingredients while a slice of Orange Carrot Cake was unfortunately not particularly reminiscent of either Orange or Carrot and remarkably dry as well. read more
We actually did not come here for the gelato. Originally had planned to go to Brunch and Cake for breakfast but the wait was almost 2hrs. I was on the verge of hunger pains so decided to walk across the street to DelaCrem and get a snack. We got the affogato (hazlenut ice cream with coffee), regular coffee with milk, and 2 croissants. OH EMMM GEEE...the croissant was amazinggggggg and I'm not exaggerating. The drinks were equally as good. Funny enough we were pretty content with our "breakfast" that we didn't wait for our turn at brunch and cake and carried on about our day without feeling any regrets because, OMG that wheat croissant was orgasmic! read more

There's nothing like temperature controlled gelato versus all the other gelato shops with the piles of exposed gelato sitting on display! Delacrem definitely did not disappoint with it's fresh flavors and creamy texture! I like that their flavors change with the seasons, so if you like a flavor you better get your fill of it before it rotates out. Delacrem is a cute little shop with limited seating inside but they also offer some tables outside on the patio with umbrellas. It's a nice family atmosphere where a lot of people just sit and enjoy their yummy goodies, whether it be the pastries that they offer, coffee, or gelato. If you happen to get a seat inside they play great music! Here's what we enjoyed (Basically all the flavors were delicious!) Melocoton blanco (peach): nice and smooth. The peach flavor was wonderful Leche Merengada: A Catalan flavor: lemon, cinnamon, cream Pistachio Fig Coconut Dulce de leche Definitely a place I will come back to if we come back to Barcelona! Restrooms: One shared restroom. I didn't get to use it though. read more

So much hype around this place! Excellent gelato but nothing really screams "best gelato in barcelona". Got the pistachio and marscapone & toffee. Pistachio tasted much saltier than expected (almost like burnt caramel) but still good! Wide variety of cool flavors - my friend tried the celery one and yup it indeed tasted exactly like celery. read more
