Finally got to partake in gelato, after a long, hot, sunny day. Gelatte is located directly across from Town Square Downtown. Their space is open, airy, and clean. The door was propped open encouraging our visit. The ladies working the counter were warm and helpful. Gelattes' Ube gelato was creamy perfection. My eldest enjoyed their Pina Colada flavor. We felt sizes and prices were fair. read more

To die for gelato!! Really! Anywhere else, and there would be a line out the door. I had the brownie cookies that sandwiched the cafe latte gelato. Super yummy. Paired with a lovely (read: strong) cup of black coffee, and it all became a sublime melange in my mouth. They would have gotten 5 stars if there were outside seating, but that's not currently feasible on a just-opening economy. The employees are super welcoming and accommodating. Anywhere else and you'd spend a small fortune or wait 45 minutes for this experience. Enjoy! read more

How am I just now hearing about this spot?! Gelato and I have a long history. When I graduated college, some 76 years ago, we went to Europe. One of countries we visited was Italy. There was a heatwave, it was in the 90's (both temp AND HUMIDITY) for days on end. There was no rest from the beatings. There was no refuge. None, except: Gelato. I was on a Gelato diet. (should write a fad diet book...) What is Gelato? I don't know, and you don't either! Ask 10 people what the difference between Gelato and "ice cream" is, and you'll get 10 different answers. Fat content, air content, egg yolks, etc. You'll hear one has more of one of those than the other, you'll hear one has less than the other, you'll here "______ should NEVER have _____ in it!" It doesn't matter. Just think of Gelato as "Italian Icecream" (not to be confused with "Italian Ice" which is amazing only if you're 4 years old). The main thing that makes it different are the flavors (they are very into nuts-as-flavoring!). In my personal opinion, Gelato has a bit "smoother" of a consistency/texture. It sits somewhere between classic ice cream shop ice cream on one side, and softserve mega-smooth (but the machine is always freaking broke) dairy treat on the other side. Anyway, the Gelato here wasn't as good as what I had in Rome (groan, sorry to sound like a DB), but it was still pretty damn good! They've got classic Italian flavors like hazelnut (filberts for y'all Oregonians) and pistachio. I tried many flavors and ended up going hazelnut. You can definitely tell real nuts are used, no fake over-the-top nutty flavor! The woman working here (Mary Anne) was very friendly and patient with us. (we sampled a lot, sorry) Check 'em out if you're downtown! (especially if Wild Scoops has a long line, as it often does!) read more

Semi authentic Italian gelato in Anchorage. It's unlike other ice cream shops in the area. They pay homage to Italian gelato while still putting their own twist on things. They offer a variety of classic flavors, but also some more eclectic ones. Their sorbet is also pretty good though I only had a small sample! Service was super friendly, and very helpful. They were patient as I tried to select what flavor I wanted. The shop also looks to be expanding into pastries and sandwiches as well. The portion sizes were good for the price, and the ice cream was very tasty. I definitely welcome this addition to the Anchorage area! If anyone is looking for a taste of one of Italy's most delightful treats give this place a try! read more

Ciao! Best Gelato in town! This new ice cream store will blow your mind and taste buds. I tried the Pistachio and Hazelnut flavor. They remained me of the Gelato in Italy. It was very creamy and smooth. The gelato is made in house daily. A local gem worth visiting. The staff was very friendly. Everything was extremely clean and organized. Give it a try and enjoy it. Buon Appetito! read more

We went to Gelatte on their opening day, so we weren't sure what to expect... the store didnt really look like it was ready to open yet (seating, the lights weren't even on, the buckets of gelato weren't even labeled with flavors yet). My honey got the pineapple and I got a mix of passion fruit and something else, I can't even remember. It was good, but WAY over priced compared Wild Scoops around the corner for what you get, especially when you consider that gelato is mostly water and icecream is more milk and cream. So I call bullshit on their prices. Yes, they have overhead on staffing, etc, but something ain't right. Still, I'll give them another shot to see how things pan out. read more

Was hoping for some great gelato and it was pretty good. So first, stay away from any of their fruit flavors. The orange and watermelon both taste pretty watered down. Was totally disappointed they didn't have pistachio. Seriously love pistachio gelato, it was always the best at the little Italian places in Germany. We decided to try hazelnut, mocha, tiramisu and chocolate. All of these flavors were rich. I will say this is sweeter than the gelato you'll find in Europe, but what isn't in the states? Still it was very creamy and definitely good. Would we go back? Probably not. It's pretty good stuff but there are better ice cream places around here. This stuff is so sweet you might as well get some ice cream anyways. Summary- $3 for a kids scoop, $4.50 for a small...the staff is friendly and the gelato is good, albeit a little too sweet. Not bad, have had better. read more

So friendly! And patient! Pretty sure they let us try every single flavor. And they were ALL amazing. Love the non-dairy options, too! My favorites were the hazelnut, cinnamocha oaties, and pistachio! read more

Gelatte - a person holding a cup of ice cream - Gelato Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

This place has really delicious gelato. My favorite is their strawberry and lemon gelato. They change their flavors quite frequently, and always have something original. It's conveniently located near the PAC center and near the mall. It's also a few feet away from Steamdot and Kaladi's cafes. It's pretty accessible and not that long of a walk if you've parked in either parking garage. I'll be back in the summer time to explore more of their flavors. read more

Cute! Definitely what downtown needs. Parking is really on accessible by street parking, but the JC Penney garage is just past it on the adjacent block which offers free parking up to an hour. Inside is very sleek and modern, but don't let that scare you off to a (perhaps) foreign concept. Gelato is a wonderful ice cream alternative! This place offers some great simple flavors while offering a few tailored toward the more adventurous palette. They also sell fancy coffees and small "coffee/bake" shop items like prepared sandwiches and the like. The staff are generous enough to offer ample sample tastes especially since this is such a new addition to downtown Anchorage. They're knowledgeable about their products, respectful and polite. They also offer a great rewards program through Clover. We tried the Ube (purple yam) and Chocolate which were lovely together! We ended up combining Sweet Cream with Salmonberry and Caramel with Hazelnut, both mediums which was the perfect size. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors! read more

Gelatte is a new business in downtown Anchorage right near Pangea. The store makes its own Gelato and seems to want to have a set up to serve coffee and gelato. I think it's doing a soft opening. The staff were friendly and excited but none of the flavors were labeled and it was disappointing that they were not displayed beautifully; as gelato should be. There are dairy and gluten free options available from fresh fruits that were pretty tasty but I think there was something missing. I will go back in a few months to give it another try after more practice and the shop has had sometime to put itself together fully. Right now I'm not sold. read more

Delicious all around ambiance isn't the greatest but quality taste and serving size is all a good experience

This is a really good gelato place given that we are in Anchorage. The space is clean and well maintained. It is also well lit which will definitely come in handy during winter. Now for their products the main attraction are of course the gelato! There are 18 flavors available during my visit, I choose pistachio after sampling several flavors. They clearly do not use artificial coloring in their gelatos which is a sigh of relief. Be prepared to see how well packed your gelato is in the cup! They do not scoop it like traditional ice cream. They pack it all in flat! There are also an option for sugar waffle cone instead of cup. They also come with a full espresso menu, sparkling/still bottled water, and some simple cafe items such as sandwiches/pastries in limited choices. read more

Really good gelato..but I had tried a sample and chose the small size mint, at the time I asked them to wait a moment because I had stepped out for a few mins, so when I returned they'd already had my gelato in a small cup/ stored it in a freezer? I wasn't happy because the spoon was covered in ice cream and partially melted. I had asked them to hold off until I returned... read more

Hands down the best gelato my husband and I have ever had; they had this AMAZING banana bread gelato that my husband fell in love with. I couldn't pick just one, so I made a trifecta combo- chocolate, vanilla and strawberry: all vegan and lactose free so they didn't upset my stomach! Walking away, my husband and I both couldn't stop saying, wow! If you have only one day to spend in anchorage, make sure you make time to stop here! read more

Great gelato. All homemade there in store. Homemade waffle cones as well. After cruising for 7 days, this was a welcome treat!

Their gelato is so light and all the flavors are fresh and tasty! My family and I absolutely love to go to Gelatte. The employees are always extremely helpful, friendly and polite. The service is amazing. If you have not been to Gelatte, please give it a try. It just might be your new favorite gelato place. read more

Their gelato is amazing! I love any of the coffee flavors. It's nice knowing it is a locally owned business. Looking forward to them opening in Dimond Center!! read more

Purchased an Affogato, tiramisu flavor with a shot of expresso. The gelato was smooth and creamy as expected, and was already tasteful by itself. The expresso mixed in made it incredible. Definitely worth the experience! Will be back to try their pastries. Employees were friendly as well. read more

I like stopping in to this shop when I'm walking around in Anchorage. The helpful staff is always waiting with a cheery smile to brighten your day. The gelato is really good too! My favorite is the chocolate banana oateys (or something like that). It got really good flavor and I like the added texture of the granola/oats. The shop is always super clean too. read more

Ordered some ice cream, sandwich and cannoli for my associate who had to work their birthday. Asked them to wish her a happy birthday and they did not disappoint! She's one happy camper and the food looks amazing going to have to order for myself next time and so many choices of delicious ice cream! Love it!! read more

This is such a gem and just what downtown Anchorage needed. A sleek, clean, and inviting gelato shop. No more having to go to Seward or Homer! Pleasantly surprised to find out they also offer a full espresso menu as well as pastries. All the flavors are rich and smooth. They also had 6 vegan options, which is great since I'm lactose intolerant. You can put more than one flavor in a cup and they're reasonably priced. Will definitely be back to buy a pint, or even a quart since those are offered as well! read more

New gelato place in town!! I really don't know why someone hasn't done this sooner. Amazing texture and flavors, I can't wait to see how they grow! It's pretty fantastic. read more

Great little spot or freshly made gelato! We sampled a couple of flavors and ended up getting a pint to go. Good selection of flavors pistachio, pumpkin pie (seasonal), mango, sweet cream and many more. We will be back read more

Amazing Gelato with great flavors! Definitely authentic straight from Italy! The gelato sandwiches are a must try! Some of the best customer service around! They have won a lifelong customer! read more

Perfect dessert! Hubby got the best Americano, I got the most delicious chocolate gelato. So smooth and flavorful. Clean store, friendly staff, reasonably priced. I bet this place is JUMPIN' in the summer! read more

I should have been suspicious of the complete lack of decor or signage. This place appears to be just trying to make a few dollars off the tourists while it can. Absolutely the most bare minimum investment. This can not possibly be real gelato. The chalky texture and rancid nut flavor screams powdered mix! Also, the sizes are very deceiving. They fill the cup flat to the top, but leave a huge air hole in the bottom. Paid $5.50 for about 2oz of gelato! This place is a tourist trap. Beware! read more

They let me sample so many flavors! It was all so delicious, it took me awhile to decide which flavors I wanted! So delicious! I have to come back and try to other flavors that was already out. read more

I am no gelato aficionado, but this place blew me away. Even to a knuckle dragger like myself this stuff was OBVIOUSLY freshly made, and OBVIOUSLY a superior product. Surprising I was the only customer in there, there was a line at a nearby shop, but anyone who doesn't go here is MISSING OUT. Something else I appreciated was how clean everything was. Well done employees :) Both the Mocha brownie fudge and pistachio scoops I had were bursting with well defined flavor and amazing texture. Highly recommend to all! read more

It was a bummer not being look at the gelato and show the kids. I had showed the kids pictures of us eating gelato in Italy and how beautiful the presentation is. None of that here. Also no restroom for customers, strange.... the gelato was ok, not great. Staff was friendly. read more

This gelato was amazing! Tried two of them. One was SO creamy and the sorbet one was refreshing and not too sweet. Will be back!

This is exactly what Anchorage needed!!! The gelatos and sorbet here are outstanding and the coffee is even better. I hear that they will be introducing tarts and pastries soon as well. Great service, great food, and great location! I'll definitely be back many times. read more

This place is amazing! Pretty sure it's the first Gelato shop in Anchorage. A much needed and welcomed addition to our little town. All of their Gelato and Sorbetto flavors were delicious! I got to try free samples of all their flavors which was pretty cool I thought. My husband and I tried a combo of Chocolate/Almond and Tiramisu/Pistachio and we did not regret our choices at all. The owners were sweet and very knowledgeable on their products. The employees were very friendly and greeted us with smiles as soon as we walked in-the service was immediate and very welcoming. Oh and don't forget to get a cup of coffee! They serve Cafe D'arte coffee and the gal that made my coffee (Lani) made it just right. It was a perfect spot for our date! But to be honest we don't need a date to visit this place lol. We're going to be visiting quite often! So if you're looking for something packed with more flavor, this is the place. read more
