    Stopped in here on a freezing cold day (like... 19 degrees outside), and honestly? Ice cream in 19 degree weather? Why not. Zero regrets. First off, the staff were super friendly and welcoming right when we walked in. They were more than happy to let us sample a few flavors, which I always appreciate, especially when there are so many options and everything sounds good. The flavor selection is seriously impressive, and it makes choosing just one feel impossible. They don't just do basic scoops either. You can get milkshakes, malts, ready-to-go pints, ice cream sandwiches, ice cream pies, or keep it classic with a cup or cone. Basically, whatever ice-cream mood you're in, they've got something for you. I ended up going with the cookie dough ice cream sandwich, and it absolutely hit the spot. The ice cream was super creamy and packed with cookie dough, and the cookies themselves were soft, chewy, and the perfect match for the filling. It was rich without being too much, which is saying something for an ice cream sandwich. The whole place just had a really easy, fun vibe. Nothing pretentious, just good ice cream, lots of choices, and nice people! If you're in the area and craving something sweet, give them a try. Whether it's the middle of summer or literally below freezing outside, it's worth stopping in.

    We are frequent fliers at Gelati Celesti and I have yet to have an experience less than 5 stars. We are always welcomed in by friendly employees... I mean, who wouldn't be happy working at an ice cream shop?! I love the variety of flavors - including dairy free options! We usually come about once a month to try a monthly release. You can taste as many of the options as you like, which is great if you're undecided! Staff is always patient while you're deciding (which can take a while if you're 5 years old and like everything that has chocolate in it)! The store is bright, clean and inviting with plenty of seating. They also have an outdoor area with tables that is perfect on nice days. They offer to-go options already packaged as well as other sweet treats like ice cream sandwiches and cakes. Price point is pretty high when compared with purchasing in the stores, but absolutely worth it for an occasional sweet treat unlike anything you can get in a grocery store!

    This is a large and very nice GC location. I love the decor and there is a ton of seating with a water station and two unisex restrooms. Staff were exceptionally friendly when my friend and I stopped in for a sweet treat after dinner next door. They were happy to let us sample until we made up our minds and were really patient with the group in front of us whose daughter probably tasted every flavor they had. Haha. My friend is allergic to soy so she was thrilled to see the allergy info listed for every flavor and included soy! I got cookies and cream and mint scoops in a cup and she had a Dulce de Leche milkshake. Both were delish.

    Gelati Celesti is a go-to in my family. From the insane amount of flavors to choose from (even though I almost always get Chocolate Decadence). I absolute love their mint chip and amaretto flavors too. We've even ordered a 6-flight of ice cream this past Valentine's Day and it was the absolute best V-Day outing. Everything is made fresh and in house. You really can't beat a visit to Gelati Celesti. The service is always friendly and they always recommend trying any flavors to see what you're in the mood for! We always end up eating our ice cream at one of the many tables inside or outside. It's a great spot with multiple locations! It's the perfect place for dessert or a sweet treat any time of day! I love Gelati Celesti.

    Just Ask
    Arisha H.

    I'm obsessed! Staff is friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about the products. I've visited a lot in the last two weeks. My go to is a waffle cone with chocolate decadence - very rich chocolate like brownie batter, just ask - vanilla ice cream with crushed cookies and peanut butter ribbons, and my absolute favors vanilla chip - vanilla with big broken pieces of chocolate The restaurant is always clean. There is outdoor seating on the side of the building. Also a walk up window to order from. Special mention to Mia* for not judging my multiple visits. Stop by and check this place out!

    So good
    Christine G.

    Love this ice cream!! Has to be my fave in the area. Inside is fresh and modern. I love how they also have a rotating set of special flavors to try. My all time favorite flavor has to be their banana. It's so fresh and real and not a fake banana flavor. The staff is friendly and will let you taste whatever flavors you want. Anytime we are in the area we always have to grab this ice cream.

    I highly recommend the butter pecan and the cherry vanilla! Some of the best I've had ever. The icecream has a great flavor and such a nice consistency.

    One of my favorite spots to satisfy my sweet tooth! I'm so glad they opened a spot closer to us in Town Center! The staff is friendly and their gelato flavors are fresh and flavorful. The place is always so clean when we come by and the staff is welcoming. I'm always looking forward to coming here and seeing what new flavors they have available. So far, my favorite is the almond amaretto! Next on my list to try is one of their ice cream cakes!

    Apple crumble with caramel
    Traci B.

    Good gawd this stuff is good. Got the apple crumble with caramel. Just ask is amazing. The cookie chunks are huge!

    Kara M.

    Absolutely delicious. Everything was clean and pristine inside. We also took some ice cream cookie sandwiches to go. All of the cool flavors were awesome. We were able to try as many as we wanted! We will definitely be going back. The fact that the ice cream is homemade, makes this place even better. I don't think their are cake cones were homemade, but possibly their waffle cones. I'm really happy I found a new ice cream joint. Definitely recommend for those who haven't stopped by yet.

    Coconut cream
    Mary R.

    Hello. My name is MG and I am an ice cream-aholic. Not only did I partake at an awesome yelp event at the Chesapeake location prior to lunch. I also decided to check out their First Colonial location to try their (Post) Melone flavored ice cream after lunch. Now, don't get me wrong. I had the coconut cream topped off with the coffee and cream flavors at the Chesapeake location which was energizing and tropical all at the same time?! I didn't know whether I should start cleaning my house or add a paper umbrella to my coconut cream flavored ice cream and relax! You know their ice cream is something to scream about if I went to 2 different locations in one day! Hahahah

    Small scoop of Just Ask
    Thiane G.

    I've heard great things about Gelati Celesti so I'm glad I got to try it out. The staff was very helpful and patient as my family and I tried different flavors. I got a small cup of the Just Ask flavor. I think it was cookies and cream with peanut butter. It was very tasty. My only feedback would be maybe making the peanut butter pieces smaller. Looking forward to trying other flavors there soon as the weather gets warmer.

    Outdoor seating with take out window
    Yoonie L.

    So excited that Gelati Celesti (GC) opened a location in Chesapeake! They are just inching closer to us and we couldn't be happier. Don't get me wrong, if we had to drive to Town Center or Hilltop, we'd do it without hesitation. It would be worth the drive, but this makes it even more convenient to indulge. This store is located in the newest construction zone across from Summit Pointe. Love that they are in the same complex as Aldi. Makes multi-tasking easier, another win. Same layout as the one in Town Center, slightly smaller. However, Town Center has the covered outdoor patio, but in Chesapeake, they have the takeout window like the one at Hilltop. You can find all your favorites: 24 regular flavors and 12 rotating flavors. I have had most of their flavors, either from ordering a small cup or getting a milkshake or simply with a sample. My fave is the coffee & cream. The best! And then, if I'm lucky, they have a cheese flavor like blueberry ricotta or ricotta and chocolate. Today, I had the blueberry cheesecake in the form of a milkshake. The consistency was smooth and creamy as usual. They give you a boba straw with the milkshakes which are perfect for this milkshake because there were blueberry bits and cheesecake chunks! So good! My kids got GC's sorbettos and have yet to be disappointed with their choices! Service is always courteous and helpful here, which is consistent with their other locations. So happy they are closer to us! Stay safe, Friends!

Everything I've had here is delicious, but here are some of my favorites: UBE BLONDIES *** Probably one of their most signature items that stays on the menu season to season, this crumbly, satisfyingly dense, soft baked good with that nice punch of ube flavor will really have you coming back for more. The frosting glaze is just perfect, adding that sweetness that carries the ube flavor really nicely. The texture is just soooo satisfying, you can just tell when you cut your fork through it that it has this airy, yet dense and crumbly texture. TURON FRITTER Kind of like an apple fritter, but oh so crumbly, delicious, bright, and soft on the inside. Also had their brown sugar boba pudding cup when it came out, and it was really good; the tapioca actually blended quite nicely and was chewy and fresh, which means you're not stuck chewing it forever. Definitely on the sweeter side, but brown sugar items tend to be that way.

Knowing it's veteran-owned makes me even happier to support them. The ice cream is consistently creamy without being overly sweet, which is harder to find than you'd think.

We enjoy the cozy atmosphere of Baker's Crust and find that our dinner catch ups over their delicious food and dessert are always long overdue. I boxed half of my salad to take home and Jackeline was kind in bringing me extra salad dressing to go. Very thoughtful. We'll be back soon!
