This place gets lots of customers due to the location and the overall foot traffic. I expected it to be good gelato because of the line out the door. They limit tastings to only two flavors. The size of the cups are quite small for the price. I had the matcha flavor and chocolate. Both were underwhelming. Not too much flavor. I think the thing that bothered me most was the consistency. There were noticeable ice crystals and it wasn't creamy and stringy like Italian Gelato. It tasted like there were a lot of emulsified products in it. I don't think this place can honestly say they're selling 'authentic' gelato if the consistency and flavor isn't right. 2/5. Wouldn't return. read more

Definitely had a good time eating this while soaking in the sun! A local gelato shop in Pasadena that carried so many flavors of gelato. We opted for a more fruity flavor and got a half scoop of mango and watermelon. Did not taste artificial which is a plus and you can actually taste the the real fruit they mix in with it! We appreciated how you can split the scoop and at $5 it was a nice summer treat :) Seriously can't wait to go to Italy one day and experience the gelato heaven over there.

I'm leaving this review for my fellow vegans. I visited this store while out for a walk and noticed they advertised vegan desserts. When I asked the owner or manager about the type of sugar used, she mentioned it was white sugar. I pointed out that white granulated sugar isn't always considered vegan (unless organic), and she responded rather dismissively, saying she wasn't aware of any sugar that wasn't vegan and that it was the same sugar used for the other ice cream. I'd like to clarify that "dairy-free" does not equal "vegan." I urge the store to reconsider their advertising of vegan options if their products aren't genuinely vegan. read more

I. Am. In. Love. with this gelato store. To start of, I love the location it's in. Right of the bat, you're greeted by their staff and I'm sorry I didn't get their names. But the Asian gentleman is very patient with the customers. I love how attentive he is of making sure he gets your order right. In addition to that, when you order 3 scoops and you tell him the flavours right away; he sets up the cup in a way where you'll be able to enjoy all 3 flavours. That might sound silly, but it's kind of throughtful. It's not like some ice cream bars where they just slap on the flavours. So, if you have the time and happen to be in the area; absolutely the best place to get some gelato! read more

If you are a gelato fan, I would totally check out this place. It is in the heart of Old Town Pasadena and by the King's Row Alley. This location is super small. There are only two tables in the café. The fact that you can't find seating would be the only down fall to this place Why would anyone get Gelato vs. Ice Cream? Well, Gelato is actually an Italian dessert staple. The base is the same as ice cream, except it has higher portion of milk l and lower portion of cream and eggs. It is churned in a slower rate, so there is less air incorporating to this, so the gelato is more dense than ice cream. This is why your gelato is more creamier and smooth. It also has less percent fat from Ice Cream, which makes this a healthier choice dessert for me. At this location, they have so many flavors, it is hard to chose from. Thank God the staff are extremely friendly and let me tried on many delicious samples. I like that they have sugar free flavors available and price is reasonable. The Gelato was heavenly, magical and scrumptious in my mouth. Despite the seating issue, It will not hinder me from coming back. Come check it out. It is definitely a new treasure in Pasadena. read more

Hello Gelato.... I just love saying it! The gelato here is marvelous! Homemade by the owner, who also slings the sweet, refreshing stuff. First time to Pasadena as an adult and I just love the feel. So quaint and cozy. Stopped in while waiting for the kids which were shoe shopping at Footlocker, and after having my watch battery replaced across the hall. Small joint, with 3 tiny tables. So many choices. Fruits and non. I opted for the lilikoi and lemon, while my sister chose the stracciatella and pistachio, which were also, very good. Don't let the size of the cups fool you. I thought the small cup was not going to do the flavors justice, or be enough to cool my core down, but I was dead wrong. The large cup ended up being so much, that I couldn't finish it. I cooled down quite fast and experienced the full flavor of both. The small cup would have been quite enough. The next time I'm in Pasadena, this is the FIRST place I'm going to stop!

Stopped here for (2nd) dessert with fellow Yelper, Julie P after dinner around the corner. Yes, 2nd dessert. Had dessert at dinner around the corner however wasn't really satisfied so we ended up walking down to Hello Gelato. We walked - because if you know the area, parking can be challenging unless you head to one of the handful of parking garages in the area. Or you can take a chance with street parking Sugar free flavors available. I went with the SF Hazelnut and Roasted Almond - one of my favorite flavors. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the Hazelnut - but felt the Roasted Almond was too sweet. It may not be to you - however, because I've cut down on sweets lately, it was probably just a shock to my taste buds; otherwise - both were nice and creamy. I liked it all except one thing - like other shops, not a lot of seating. Inside were two tables, none outside. With or without seating, if in the area, I'll be back. read more

5 star all day long! Stopped into Pasadena to check out some antique shops, but we had a sweet tooth and gelato was on our mind. This place has so many flavors to choose from. Levels of chocolate, coffee espresso blend, to tropical fruits and all the berry flavors you are craving. I grabbed the coffee and espresso and it was as bold as I expected to be with not too much sweet,paired it with rocky road amazing combo. I mixed coconut with mango and wow!!! An explosion of flavors in my mouth. Chocolate chip with Nutella and rocky road created a flavor all on its own. I left regretting the passion fruit, but I'm def coming back to create some more epic combination flavors. There's nothing like a cold treat with the cold California weather, stop by and see what flavors you will create! read more

I have to rate this place five stars because this place was my childhood. When I was younger, I would come here often with my family when we walked around Old Town Pasadena; coming here brought back so many fond memories. The inside looked like it had never aged, and the gelato tasted the same. (Though I don't remember gelato costing so much :(( ) The guy who served us was very friendly and patient with my family and I and our large order. I thought the way gelato was displayed with the cookies on top of the cookies and cream gelato and the actual fruits on top of the fruit-flavored gelato. I would definitely come back for the gelato and the memories :') read more

The gelato was good and very flavorful. I had the blueberry cheesecake which is a common favorite of mine for even ice cream, and pistachio which didn't taste synthetic at all.

I just like traditional flavors...I do not need lavender in my ice cream! Sorry for that tangent! Luckily I found Hello Gelato! I know gelato isn't ice cream... They had lots of flavors that appealed to me. I decided on a scoop of rocky road. $5 for a good sized scoop of really rich gelato with lots of nuts, marshmallows and chocolate pieces. Perfect!

Hello gelato is the perfect way to end a meal in Pasadena. It is a small family owned shop with delicious gelato for affordable prices. The small ($4.50) and medium cups can be split between 2 flavors with no extra charge and the large can be split between 3 or 4 flavors (I think). The staff are super nice and the texture of the gelato itself is creamy perfection. The flavors use real ingredients (nothing is artificial) and include toppings like honey roasted pistachios and blueberries (for pistachio and blueberry cheesecake respectively). Definitely recommend for anyone in the area! read more

If you like very watered down gelato, this is the place for you. Not saying it's bad, just very very light. They do fill it up a lot compared to other gelato places (granted, those other places have "real" gelato, which is a tad heavier so a small scoop would be enough to fulfill your sweet tooth), but I still think the price is way to high for the quality of the gelato. It's whatevs though, if I'm in the area and craving some gelato I'll stop by, but definitely not something I'd go out of my way for. Also, side note for how they're handling COVID... would really appreciate if the scooper wore gloves. Just a thought. read more

The whole dessert was absolutely light, refreshing, and delicious. They also have lattes and croffles. I highly recommend. We got the mango melon & strawberry matcha shaved ice. Will definitely be back to try the strawberry and black sesame!

Ube Malted | I'm always up for flavorful Ube; sweet purple yams and was blended with malted milk, so delicious, loved it! Mix It Up | Yum! Since I got two scoops in a small cup, I blended them in the cup until it was nice & smooth! What an absolutely delicious combo!

Ice cream is always a great idea, especially when there are often new, unique and flavorful combinations! Let's go!

This month's (May) seasonal flavors were pretty good, but we ultimately chose the jasmine milk tea almond stracciatella and paired it with the coffee & love nuts. The prices have slowly crept up over the years ($6.95 for a single scoop + $0.50 for a split scoop), but the quality and taste of Salt & Straw keeps me coming back. Highly recommend checking out the monthly flavors if you haven't already!

This place is a bit hidden in an alleyway, but I love poké so when this popped up on my Yelp search…read moreI knew I wanted to try it. Fair warning, they do not have white rice available. It's only purple or brown rice, which is a healthier option, but I understand it's not for everyone. I got the regular size poké bowl with purple rice, and it's cooked perfectly that it has a fluffy texture very similar to white rice's. What I really liked about this place is that they mix your sauces with the protein in a separate mixing bowl before putting it into your poké bowl. Most poké places I've been too won't do this as an extra step - they'll just drizzle a bunch of sauce that sometimes the dry ingredients gets drenched and soggy. As for the fish itself, the portions are very fair, and the quality is good. They gave a pretty generous amount of avocado as well, which was very fresh, and you do not have to pay extra for it. Rarely do I come across a poké restaurant that does this.

I tried the mint and orange vanilla. My mind was blown. I expected the mint to be like any other mint flavor but this was very different. It was actual mint. Imagine drinking a cup of Moroccan mint tea. The flavor was so true to the herb. It didn't taste artificial or weird. It was very, very fresh. Not too sweet, not bitter. Perfect, really. The vanilla orange was incredible too. It was so interesting because I could taste fresh orange and taste fresh vanilla bean individually. I think this ice cream was a little magical. My boyfriend had the candied pecan - also incredible. The flavors of each ice cream truly are pronounced and expertly crafted. He also tried the pear champagne which I'll admit since I didn't like the champagne flavor - which is not a negative because I don't like champagne. So, really it's a compliment because they did that ice cream true to the flavor to the point I didn't like it lol.

I just wish I had taken a picture of the ice cream sandwich I got but I ate it too fast. It was a triple milk ice cream with chocolate cookie sandwich. It was delicious!

The unfortunate part is that the ice cream really isn't that good, and the portions are small for what you pay. What really turned me off, though, was the lack of common sense from the staff. If you've been here, you know they have a display case with slices of cake and pie. Normally you look through the case and point to the piece you want. That's exactly what I did. There were about ten pieces of cake in the case, and I picked one that had the perfect icing-to-cake ratio. The employee asked what I wanted, and when I pointed to the slice she told me, "You can only pick from these two," while holding up two other pieces. Apparently those were the older slices that they were trying to get rid of. They were clearly smaller and, judging by how they were being pushed, probably not the freshest either. Since I was basically being forced to buy something I didn't want, I said I didn't want anything. She just said "okay" and moved on to help the rest of my family. At that point I told my family we were leaving and heading to Bloomfield Creamery in Altadena instead. The employee had every opportunity to use a little common sense and simply give me the slice I asked for. I work hard for my money, and if I'm paying premium prices, I expect to choose what I'm buying. Instead, they lost Madre family of customers for good.
