I don't care if it's a little pricey; I love coming here. They have some of the best gelato flavors around, the staff is pretty friendly, and the place is always clean. Overall it's just really, really good gelato. No complaints here. They've been around for so many years, and I can definitely see why. read more

There are a few ice cream shops along this boulevard and some are busier than others. We looked over all the different flavors and picked out two to be served in one small cup. These aren't Thrifty ice cream prices so expect to pay a premium. The quality was there as we indulged in the delicious flavors. read more

I absolutely love Hello Gelato! The owner is so kind and the service is always great. The employees also go above and beyond! We absolutely love coming here for a sweet treat and also love to get pints to take home. They also offer a loyalty stamp card for customers which is really nice. There's lots of vegan options too, which we love since we're vegan! I definitely recommend this place for really good and fresh gelato! read more

Sampled about three flavors before deciding to pass. I normally wouldn't do that, but everything I tried just tasted really artificial and I couldn't get into it. The fake sugar aftertaste lingered in a way that wasn't pleasant for me. That said, big thanks to the cashier who was super patient and kind while I was sampling; really appreciated that! If you're looking for good gelato in the area, I'd personally recommend Wanderlust across the street instead. read more

My girlfriend and I barely noticed the hello gelato sign as we walked through town searching for an ice cream shop, deciding between the two, we knew what we had to choose. We were not disappointed ! They were abundant in flavors (which were displayed beautifully) and the person who helped us even put extra toppings on my scoop without me asking their sizes are great for the price and it was super clean and cute inside. read more

Really mediocre gelato. It's not silky as gelato should be. The texture was a bit harder and felt more airy like traditional ice cream. I think depending on the day, some flavors could taste less fresh if they've been sitting there for a while - you can tell because some flavors are going to be very soft and others harder. Flavors were not very intense either, especially the taro flavor. The stracciatella flavor had too many fine chips. I do like the hazelnut flavor - tastes a lot like Nutella. It's good value dessert, though, compared to Wanderlust Creamery across the street. A medium size is $7.50 and they really stuff the cup. read more

Adventure is a flavor--am I right or am I right? Nevertheless, in this case, I had the Lemon cooler flavor that is non fat and non dairy. It was lemony, flavorful, and just what I needed on a warm summer day. Eat adventurously! It was clean, inside a small space. Everyone was friendly and I would recommend. They have clearly marked flavors and I would like to try the other non-dairy flavors. "Dessert: the sweetest form of self-love." read more

June 22st 2025 approximately 4 o'clock Me and my girlfriends wanted to have gelato ice cream, so we walked into this store. That were two employees over-the-counter, having a conversation. We waited few minutes, still not served. So, one of my girlfriend said Hi Can you help us? Then, a employee named Melissa She was extremely rude she put the hand on air said "just wait" continued to lecture to the other employee. The other employee she has tears on her eyes, seems very sad. So we stepped in and said, "what's going on here ? And Melissa with bad attitude with bitter face expression said i "It's nothing" we decided to engage the conversation and said, "if y'd coach another employee, you don't do that in front of customers. You pull her aside or in the back, NOT in front of customers. It's not good" Meanwhile, we were asking the other employee's name and she was scared to giving out her name to us. Then all of sudden, older lady just showed up from the back, she claims she is a manager of the store. So we explained about the situation, however seems like she doesn't care or she doesn't acknowledge how this customer service is horrible. - FYI WE, Me and my girlfriends have worked over 10 years as a counter manager at High-end store, WE ALL know actually what is going on! The other employee who refused give us her name, she got threatened and humiliated in front of customers. that is absolutely NOT OKAY. read more

A cute little gelato shop in the heart of Old Town Pasadena! It smells a little odd in the store but we still managed to stay for gelato! The owner said we only get to sample 2 flavors, which is hard especially when it's your first time in the store! We were able to get two flavors in the small cup! The strawberry was delicious and so was the chocolate chip! Gelato tasted fresh! read more

The perfect place for a sweet treat! They have so many flavors to choose from, there's really something for everyone. They have fruity, tart, creamy, chocolatey, and lots more. They do let you sample if you want to try a flavor. It's a bit on the pricier side ($6 for a small) but it taste like quality gelato. I had the banana and chocolate hazelnut which was a great duo. The hazelnut had bits of chocolate in it which I really enjoyed. The service is very nice and efficient, especially when they are very busy. read more

Great small shop located in busy downtown area of Pasadena. Business was clean and limited to no seating is available inside. This shop is more on the go. Street parking available as well as garage parking next door which is only $1 for the first hour. The flavors have so much variety and it's so hard to pick! All of the gelato flavors sound and look delicious! It was so challenging to pick what I was going to have. I grabbed a few samples and decided to get the blueberry cheesecake and rocky road which were very good. The cookies and cream was delicious as well. In addition, the mixed berries was so, so good! The small and medium cups allow you to choose from two different flavors!the large cup allows you to choose from maximum 3 flavors. We will definitely be returning. Price point is fair for what you get! Amazing and worth every spoonful. read more

Got here on a Friday night and there was no line - we got a small cone with caffe cappuccino and mint & chocolate flavor scoops. Both flavors are great - creamy yet not overly sweet, which is always a huge plus for me at least! The flavors also taste authentic rather than artificial. They have all the standard flavors you would expect - would be back to try other flavors! read more

Great gelato at a great price! Portions are super generous since they keep scooping until the cup is overflowing. If you're sharing, a small cup is more than enough unless you both eat a lot. There are two benches inside and another right outside if you want to sit before heading off. Trash bins are in the tea shop next door. I was totally surprised by how good this place is. To ease the guilt, park a little farther away and walk since it's only $1.25 an hour by app. A happy little dessert spot! read more

This place has some of the tastiest Gelato I've had in a while and being that's it's close to so many food places, this is a wonderful way to get a treat in between date nights. This is exactly the kind of thing I can happily say leaves my tummy singing in chilly bliss. read more

I have been at Hello Gelato once last year with my dear friends. This time around I am here with my daughters. It's a cute little gelato shop. Staff was pleasant and attended to their customers very timely... thank you! Prices are reasonable. Flavors are off the charts. Luckily, there was no one behind us because we took some time to decide LOL. I got 2 taste testers... roasted almond and stracciatella... I didn't care for the latter, but I liked the former. Below are our chosen gelato flavors. Got them in a medium cup for $6.75 each. 1) Roasted Almond and Mixed Berries - I enjoyed my gelato very much! Both flavors were very yummy. 2) Turtle Cheesecake and Cookies & Cappuccino - The former was preferred more over the latter. I got a taste of both... I agree with my daughter. 3) Passion Fruit and Strawberry Lemonade - Refreshing and light per my other daughter. I would have to agree with her, too... yes, I got a taste of both, too. I'm just a sucker for gelato or ice cream LOL. There is limited seating inside. Outside has a small bench. Glad they are still here serving up some great tasting gelato. They also have Italian soda which I was very curious about, but didn't buy at the time. I will have to give that soda a try next time. Until then... Hello and Be Happy Gelato'ing! read more

Wow, don't pass this place up!! Their gelato is SUPER FLAVORFUL and STRONG, each bite amazingly saturated with flavor. I had their mango and taro. Tried the matcha as well. None of these flavors disappointed. Would highly recommend. Great service and clean, little benches outside to sit and enjoy. It's a cute little shop in downtown Pasadena where you can take a night stroll and enjoy the nightlife or walk off a heavy meal. One of the best gelato places I've visited. Would definitely visit again. Happy eating!! read more

I was deciding between a 3 and 4 star, but ultimately decided to go with the 4 stars because of the vanilla gelato. When we entered the display was very welcoming with many flavors to choose from and many different colors. I decided for a medium cup, which is two flavors and I got the peanut butter and vanilla. The peanut butter wasn't that great, I didn't really enjoy the flavor and it was not smooth and creamy like I expect from gelato, it was a little icy. The vanilla though was amazing. This one was smooth and creamy, and had a strong, delicious vanilla flavor. The lady there was nice, and told us she had been there since day 1, really happy for them and I'm glad they've been able to stay in business for so long. read more

Best gelato, wonderful service, generous portions, 10/10. I go here every time I'm in Pasadena.

So delicious and the owner is the sweetest! Absolutely love would go back 100x over super fresh heft servings

Always visit hello gelato whenever in Pasadena city center. Classic Chocolate flavor is my favorite!

The gelato here is so flavorful, rich, and delicious. It's right in the middle of the old town Pasadena area and I always enjoy stopping by before a nice stroll or after a meal. The service is friendly and they give you two samples per visit to try new flavors. I come back often just to try more. Places come and go, but quality lasts! A great staple of the Pasadena community for as long as I can remember! Thanks!! read more

TLDR: Hello Gelato has aesthetic, unique, and most importantly yummy gelato!! (They have Asian flavors like Matcha, taro, and green tea!) I stumbled across this place on a date with my partner in Old Town. It's located in an alley way with adjoining businesses and as soon as you walk in, you can see how aesthetic their gelato is behind the glass! What I love about this place is that not only does their gelato have traditional flavors such as chocolate and pistachio, they have fun and unique flavors such as Charcoal, Horchata, Matcha, Green Tea, and Taro!) My partner and I got pistachio, strawberry, and green tea. All flavors were so tasty! The owner was so nice and service was fast. A must try for Pasadena! read more

This place gets packed at night and I can see why. It's quite small but they have a large selection of gelato and will let you try anything. The gelato was creamy and not too sweet. Would definitely come here again. There's not much room to eat there but it's easy to grab and go. read more

Came here with a friend. I got yogurt and chocolate hazelnut. Forget what friend got. The yogurt tasted like lemon for some reason, and my chocolate hazelnut tasted just like chocolate, kind of bland chocolate. It's an okay place to go but tasted like cheap gelato basically, but you'll pay $7 for a size small. For that reason I need to bring the review down from 3 stars to 2 stars. :( Friend didn't comment on their ice cream at all - a sign it was so-so. They did comment on the price though :( I have had ice cream and gelato around the world literally and this place isn't it. But it is expensive. One commenter said store bought tastes better and it's sadly true I have to agree :( get Dreyers instead read more

This place has been around for so many years and it never fails to deliver some delicious gelato I used to go in my teen years and now I'm taking my kids here. The owner here is so kind and the place has so much great selection of delicious gelato~ I definitely recommend this place if your in old town Pasadena read more

Ordered their passion fruit & lemon cooler. Before I picked those two I did sample their blueberry cheesecake, pistachio, & matcha. I had high hopes for the matcha but it was too concentrated in a bad bitter way it might pair good with a creamy vanilla to balance out. The pistachio also wanted it to taste better but it didn't have much flavor. I give their passion fruit 5 stars it was tart, sweet, identical to the fruit..perfect treat for a summer day. FYI attendant was very firm on limiting you to four taste samples. read more

After a delicious lunch or when striking down Old Town Pasadena, duck into this wedding gelato spot. The staff is hospitable and cheerful. Everything is clean and neat. The most impressive part of this was the artistry and flavors of the gelato. Returning is a must for my husband and I. read more

We came in for the first time and it looked really good but it was a bit hard and not as creamy and soft as I've had at other places.

Came in for the first time today because the weather is so beautiful and thought that I would enjoy a scoop or two of gelato. And the owner said that I can only try two flavors when they have about 50 flavors to try so I walked out and then I walked back inside and told him how rude that was for the first time someone's going to try their place they should be able to try a couple or a few samples with no problem to decide which flavor that they would like. I will never step foot in this place again, and as I told him that I was going to leave a message on Yelp, he laughed at me. read more

This place was down the street from the Italian place that we had dinner. There was a line but not too bad. Lots of flavors to chose from. I ordered the coffee flavor. The lady at the register was in a hurry so we were quickly whisked off after paying. The gelato was just ok. The place is very small and y here really isn't any seating inside and the benches outside were taken so we just walked while eating. read more

My second time here (first time was way before the pandemic) and it is still great!! It's hidden in a cute little alley with lights strung up and a bar at the end. There are TONS of delicious flavors to choose from I chose the size small with horchata and hazelnut flavors. Both so good! Hazelnut was frickin amazing!!! Def would come back to try even more flavors!! I thought it was cute how they decorate the flavors with berries or actual pie slices! read more
