I went in with high expectations due to recent accolades, and ya know what, they were met if not exceeded. The gelato is actually fantastic and definitely amongst the best in the area (including quite a large radius). The texture is just so smooth, creamy, and perfectly rich while somehow still maintaining some lightness so I could keep eating more. The flavors were relatively simple and traditional, but just packed and executed incredibly well. Overall just some truly great gelato. The shop itself is quite nice with a modern and well decorated interior, offering a good amount of seating inside, a bench outside, and with its location in the center of Downtown Cary there are plenty of places to walk around or to where you can enjoy. The service was friendly and efficient. Prices, while definitely on the higher side, are acceptable given the quality, especially for this quality of a sweet treat! Will absolutely be coming back for more and recommend all to give it a try. read more

Parking: parking was difficult because it was downtown Cary and we went at the busiest time on a Friday night. But there is parking in front of the business. Food: got the sour cherry and hazelnut chocolate gelato. The hazelnut chocolate was ok (just expected more flavor) but the sour cherry was surprisingly really good and the cherries definitely had a sour sweet tang to it. They put wafers on top of the ice cream which is a nice touch Service: they were nice and let us sample different flavors before we decided Ambiance: a small gelato/ ice cream parlor. Few places to sit. Had an old ice cream/gelato cart in the corner read more

Geluna Gelato - Finally homemade gelato close by - Gelato Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Bottom line: Geluna Gelato has some delicious gelato and worth a stop in to find a flavor to enjoy. They state they use local milk/cream, traditional type methods and real flavors/ingredients on the website and it makes a difference it would seem as I enjoyed the chocolate chip and butter pecan flavors. Good service each visit. The Deets: I've had the opportunity to try out Geluna Gelato a couple of times recently, once after dining at Taipei 101 with coworkers and another after a slice or two at Di Fara Pizza Tavern (located in the same parking/shop area as both, beside Di Fara actually, in downtown Cary). The shop itself is bright, clean, and inviting. You form a queue next to the ordering counter where you can look at the available flavors for that day. I've had a couple of small cup size with different flavors on visits so far, one time with the chocolate chip one and then trying out the butter pecan on during the next time. Their website states "Local milk & cream. Traditional methods. Real flavors & ingredients. No dyes." You can taste the difference with it, very creamy and delicious. I do have to say my favorite was the chocolate chip flavor of my visits but the butter pecan did not disappoint. You get offered a free wafer to place in your gelato if you like, of which I did both times and glad I did so. Service was good each time with the server on my last visit being exceptionally positive when coming out to greet me and take my order. There are also pints for purchase to take home, they are on display as well when you come in. I have enjoyed my visits to Geluna Gelato so far and hope to see them again soon. read more

A friend and fellow Yelper recommended Geluna Gelato to us after we all had brunch together at nearby Peck & Plume in downtown Cary. My wife and I originally intended to go to popular Andia's Ice Cream, but our friend thought Geluna was better than Andia's. Plus, Geluna was only a two-block walk north from where we were. Verdict: It was good. Downtown Cary is very walkable and Geluna is a great choice if you're in the area and looking for dessert and/or a frozen treat. The business opened in April 2022 in the same dual strip mall as Di Fara Pizza Tavern and Taipei 101. This small shopping center has transformed, bringing in new food and beverage tenants and undergoing a minor facelift since the pandemic. Parking is often tight in the dedicated lot here. In fact, I don't think we've ever parked in the lot. Instead, we've parked for free on adjacent E Cedar St, across the railroad tracks next to Town Hall, and as far south as the library parking deck. We showed up around 2pm on a Saturday and business was slow. It was just my wife and me. During our short 10-15 minute visit, I remember seeing a couple come in before us and then a couple after us, but that was it. A few teenage girls (employees) hung out in the back/kitchen in between customers. This is a small place. Inside, there are three two-tops along a banquette. Inside and outside, there's bench seating against the storefront. The interior decor and design are simple, modern, and clean-looking. During our visit, there were 12 gelato flavors available. Three were dairy-free. Pricing was $3.50 for a "baby" size (one flavor), $5.50 for a small (up to two flavors), and $8.00 for a classic (up to three flavors, cup only). My wife and I shared a classic cup which worked out to $10.66 after taxes and tip. We sampled several flavors, such as the Mango & Cream and the dairy-free Lemon Rosemary Sorbet, without feeling the pressure of a line behind us. Every flavor tasted yummy. We settled on Strawberries & Cream, Coffee, and Sweet Ginger. I thought the Sweet Ginger was unique and delicious. It reminded me of tofu pudding with sweet ginger syrup (the dim sum dish). Overall, I thought the gelato here was high-quality. It was smooth, creamy, and soft and the flavors really shined. Service was fine. read more

Excellent! We happened to see this place by chance and I'm very glad we did. The individual working there was very nice, letting us sample many flavor. He was also very professional and completed the orders efficiently. The interior was very cute and and inviting. The gelato itself was absolutely delicious. Every single flavor was creamy and tasty. One thing I really appreciated was that this location makes different flavors according to the season so you know you're receiving gelato that is fresh. By the way the stars of the day were the sea salted caramel, sweet cream, and labneh sour cherry - all were absolutely incredible. Definitely worth checking out! One final note, the place offers free sprinkles and a wafer with each order - something my family and I appreciated. read more

Hands down the best ice cream/gelato in the triangle!! Great flavors and the milkshakes are awesome too!

Having visited Bologna and fallen in love with the gelato there, I was happy to see Geluna Gelato open up in downtown Cary. My daughters and I have come a few times already, and we are all fans. I'm thankful that they have some vegan options since my older daughter is dairy-sensitive - and the sorbets are good too! So far, I've gotten to try the milk chocolate chip, corn and blueberry, watermelon sorbet, and mango sorbet. While they were all tasty, I enjoyed the corn and blueberry the most - it had a lot of flavor packed into a small cup, and the creaminess was definitely reminiscent of my travels to Italy. They even add a wafer on top (with sprinkles for kids, too)! Parking is easy, and the space is new and clean. There are two benches outside if you prefer to eat outdoors. We will definitely be back to try the other flavors! read more

Cute Place!! We checked out Geluna Gelato on a beautiful Saturday evening while walking around downtown Cary. The service was great!! I sampled the dark chocolate and ordered a small 2 scoop cup of dark chocolate and coconut...amazing!! Each cup comes with a complimentary delicious & fresh wafer, great idea!! I love gelato and I loved this place. Every spoonful was delicious. I think it's a nice gesture also to have a complimentary water dispenser, gelato is rich and makes you thirsty. They have gluten free and dairy free options which makes something for everyone!! I can't wait to try other flavors. read more

have to admit that I'm pretty new to the gelato game, but after my visit to Geluna Gelato I'm definitely a fan! The owners were super sweet and let me sample all the flavors and I didn't taste a single one that wasn't delicious. My personal favorites were the butter pecan and the pistachio almond gelato, which is made with big spoon roasters almond butter. Geluna Gelato also has cookie sandwich kits that come with cookie dough and a pint of gelato. The chocolate chip cookies were amazing and paired well with the butter pecan gelato! This is definitely a Triangle dessert spot that y'all need to try! read more

Geluna Gelato - a hand holding a cup of gelato - Gelato Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Brand new gelateria in Cary, locally owned. Check it out! TRY FIORDILATTE SORBET!! This is a true Italian classic I'm yet to see at any other ice cream place in Raleigh-Durham. The place looks and feels new. I came here with my sister after her recommendation and it didn't disappoint. The owner of the place is very nice and accommodating, he served us both. The sorbet is made in small batches DAILY right there and it's just delightful! When we were there they had 10 flavors, apparently they rotate some of them but I don't know how often, this was my first time here. We tried labne sour cherry, summer sorbet, strawberry and cream and it all was great tasting with fine texture. But what I really want to highlight is fiordilatte sorbet. "Fior di latte" is Italian for "flower of the milk", it's basically "milk" flavored, or unflavored, ice cream because there's nothing else added to it. You can taste the sweetness of the milk and that's it. Very delicate and light flavor. It's truly an Italian thing and definitely is worth trying! I haven't seen it anywhere else around. Needless to say we will be coming back for more! read more

We came here during the week when it was a little warm out to enjoy a sweet treat. It was in a small shopping center so we almost passed it. It was a cute little shop and the owners were helpful and we got to sample any flavor we needed. The sea salt caramel was a bit on the salty side. I got my gelato in the cone and my mom chose the cup. This place is a bit on the pricey side compared to other ice cream shops. Overall a good place read more

Geluna Gelato is located in Downtown Cary in-between Di Farm Pizza and Hank's Downtown Dive. We stopped in to check this spot out, it was a baby scoop of cherries & cream for me and a small scoop of coffee for my husband. Both were solid options and we added on a free waffle crisp. I can't wait to return to try their other flavors. read more

I'm not really crazy for gelato, but I wanted to give this new place a try and I was surprised how much I loved the gelato. I got pumpkin spice and sweet cream, and my husband got coffee which I also tried. They were all very well crafted rich flavors. The pumpkin spice was more pumpkin-y than spice-y, which I liked a lot. Their menu isn't huge, but I think they change out flavors on a regular basis. I'll definitely be back to try some other flavors, or get the coffee! read more

Visited this place after eating at Taipei 101. It's a nice, small welcoming spot. The workers there were super friendly and patient. They don't have a ton of flavors but they do have a good selection. I got 1/2 sea salt caramel and 1/2 sweet cream. My son got sea salt caramel. You get a free wafer with your gelato. Everything was really good. I really wish I could've purchased some wafers bc those things went perfect with the gelato. I'm a fan and will come back if I'm ever back in the area craving gelato. read more

Geluna Gelato - Sweet cream and sea salted caramel - Gelato Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Geluna Gelato is a cute shop Gelato shop tucked in downtown Cary. I love their location because you can get dinner before hand at one of the three restaurants right outside their door and pop on over after. After grabbing gelato you can sit outside or walk around the town. Their gelato is flavorful and had great texture. I like that you can get a smaller size but still be able to get two flavors. I ordered the malted milk chocolate and pumpkin spice. I wish the malted milk tasted a bit more malty but, I loved the pumpkin spice! I didn't try their gelato pop, but they looked so good. Gelato dipped in chocolate I also love that they add a wafer to finish it off. read more

We were excited to try Geluna Gelato after moving closer to downtown. It's a cute shop with some benches outside so we could sit with my dog. Maybe it was an off day but the flavors tasted really bland to me. I tried a few different ones and ended up getting chocolate chip because it had a stronger flavor. The little wafers were delicious though! I'll probably come back to try some other flavors in a few months but I definitely wasn't blown away. read more

This place is a hidden gem! They have very different gelato flavors that change every few weeks. I got the tea & caramel biscuits with milk chocolate cream and it was so good! The icecream is tasty and stretchy and the flavors were 10/10 read more

Tried a few different flavors and they were really good! The cherry cream, strawberry, chocolate and coffee. The coffee was my favorite one.

i understand its gelato but its a bit pricey. also the flavors are very subtle in the actual ice cream (salted caramel had no saltyness to it and the stacciatella had barely any mint flavor with the chocolate combo). service was nice; they were very patient. read more

So so so good! Stopped in for a mid-afternoon snack and had the almond pistachio gelato - they used Big Spoon Roasters almond butter (local to durham), which I love. The employee at the store was very friendly (think she was the owner) and allowed us to taste a few flavors. Will definitely recommend this gelato. read more

Best gelato I've had out of DC/VA/NC area!! Sad this is a bit of a drive for us but from now on we will make sure to stop by every time we are in the area.

Everyone working here was very nice and efficient. Can't wait to come back soon! read more

Tried strawberries and cream, matcha, dairy free dark chocolate sorbet, and pistachio almond. Thought all were excellent with the exception of the DF dark choc sorbet. Tough to make that one compare to the rest being that it was DF...but it was still good. Super nice and friendly service. Yelp said it was closed but also said it was experiencing an error...so who knows...obviously they were open so maybe call to confirm? read more

Wow! Fell in love with gelato while living in Florence Italy years ago. Was excited to see an authentic gelato shop open in the triangle. Every flavor I tried was fantastic! Salted Carmel and dark Chocolate were my favorite flavors but everything was great. Owners were very kind too and stopped to chat. You won't regret checking this new spot out :) read more

My husband and I stopped by to try the new gelato in the neighborhood. I got the strawberries & cream and my husband got the sea salt caramel (both in size small). Both were amazing, ask me how I know (I ate both of ours, he was too full from dinner to finish his)! The strawberries & cream was so creamy and light, very refreshing. The sea salt caramel was buttery goodness. I can't wait to try more flavors. I love the consistency of the gelato. read more

Probably the best sorbet I've ever tasted! My husband and I have dropped into Geluna Gelato the last two Saturday evenings to grab a sweet treat for an evening walk. Their gelato selection is solid including several classics (coffee, chocolate chip, strawberry). They also have enticing new combinations, the first night we stopped in it was sour cherry (yessss please!). The flavors did not disappoint. But when we went back this last weekend, they had a new... experimental flavor if you will... the Lemon Mint Sorbet. When I say it might be the perfect sorbet, I am not exaggerating. Lemon sorbet is my love language and I am VERY selective. Don't hand me that oversugared garbage they sell at ball games. I want it tart (you should definitely pucker) and not overly sweet. After a tiny sample, I bought an entire pint! It is creamy, it is lemony, it is even herbaceous with the mint. In short, it is heaven. And if you don't immediately stop what your doing get some, your loss fool! I will unashamedly buy them out! read more

Best in Cary!!!! Love this place and the owners are the kindest couple ever!! Such a fun spot to walk to from a dinner restaurant & they have such a fun vibe inside! The cones are also so good & you can buy a pack to take home with your pint!! Win! read more

I love ice cream, and Raleigh is lucky to have some really good shops, but Geluna is by far my favorite of the bunch. Their gelato is super creamy, and their flavor choices are always great.

Finally, real authentic gelato! I had given up searching good gelato until today. I felt like I hit the lottery. Walked into this cute and extremely clean shop.

All that was missing were the good-looking Italian men! read more
