    I was visiting with friends to satisfy a sweet tooth. I ordered the chocolate ice cream. There were many flavors of gelati however none of them were as apparent so I went with chocolate. My friend ordered the biscotti crepe sushi which was fun and it was yummy as well! The crepes are not stuffed -- all of the toppings are added on top. The price of the ice cream was a little higher than normal but I would recommend getting something else like a crepe. There was limited seating inside if busy but you can also try to sit outside. Plenty of utensils as well.

    Dubai Chocolate Covered Strawberry

    Got the Dubai Chocolate Strawberries. Very yummy. Very nice customer service! The place was also very cute to dine in.

    La Gelati excels with its Mediterranean cocktail selection--refreshing and uniquely flavored. Their Ashta ice cream is a standout: creamy, rich, and delicately sweet. It's a must-visit for authentic Mediterranean treats. Highly recommended!

    Chocolate Covered Strawberry

    I loveee the choc dipped strawberries & fruit bowl! This location seems to have better availability of fruit options too!!

    La Gelati Smoothie

    Just door dashed this and the ashta is literally so sour and there is a foul smell coming off of the smoothie. I took a sip and it didn't taste right so I took a bite of the ashta and was going to throw up. You can tell there is something wrong with it because ashta is usually thicker and more like clotted cream. I made my husband taste it just to make sure it wasn't just my taste buds and sure enough he immediately spit it out. I called the store to let them know and the guy said I just tasted it and it tastes fine and sweet to me. Excuse me sir? It literally tastes like acid from how sour it is. He didn't bother to apologize or offer any sort of resolution. Anyways will not be ordering from this establishment again

    Lotus Biscoff Sundae
    Jennifer W.

    The Lotus "Biscoff" sundae is delicious. I'm so glad I stopped here while in the area. There are many options from which to choose, but I don't know if I'll be able to resist the Lotus sundae. I will definitely return now that hot weather is here.

    Lots of amazing options. We chose the Sweet Tooth Sundae (vanilla gelati layered with brownies, nutella & Ferraro Rocher) & Coconut Almond Chunk (chocolate gelati layered with coconut, chocolate chunks, & topped with toasted coconut & almonds). They also have crepes, waffles & smoothies. You can order online & pick up. Fun fact...there is a difference between gelati & gelato... Multiple locations in Dearborn/Dearborn Heights. Bathroom needs TLC.

    This place was amazing. Friendly, super helpful service. Delicious ice cream and creative combinations. This was exactly the type of sweet treat I was craving after a garlicky meal. I had the Nutella ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies. I got the first scoop for this flavor which met extra chocolate from the top. Yum! My husband and daughter had the coconut almond parfait. They really enjoyed it too. So many fun items to try. We don't live close to here but I will still come back. Also they sell bottled water. And I was about to get one but the woman helping me asked if I'd prefer the free tap water with ice. Yes! I appreciate the honestly and generosity, versus just trying to make the extra money. And I posted the hours from their window. They are different than what's currently showing on Yelp. Hope that helps.

    Twist Cone Ice Cream
    Alicia Z.

    Stopped by on a whim and enjoyed the treat. Husband had a twist with handmade waffle cone, I had a medium brownie sundae. Interior needs some updates as well as the parking lot but overall good food.

    Came here to try booza (Levantine ice cream) for the first time ever and was not disappointed! Quick and friendly service, and the ice cream was heaven. Like, just WOW. Dense, chewy, refreshing goodness like nothing I'd ever had in my life! The texture reminds me of taffy or mochi, except cold and creamy. Just the size small cup felt like a huge portion - I shared it with my boyfriend and it lasted quite a while between the two of us working on it. If I lived in Michigan I would be coming back every week!

    Sushi Crepe Roll Biscoff Toppings

    The crepe sushi roll was absolutely amazing! I can't wait to go back and try more combinations.

    Kinder All The Way Crepe (I think)
    Simon K.

    Wow . Although this place isn't the best for my waistline, it is my go to for a special treat / cheat meal. My only complaint is that there are too many amazing options-it's too hard to make a choice, and I always end up ordering too much . The dearborn heights location isn't ideal for dining in, but it's not a big deal as the staff is so friendly and welcoming. They've recently opened a larger location in East dearborn and I'll be checking that location out soon!

    Fresh Waffle with a soft serve!
    Kawthar A.

    La gelati is such a gem in Dearborn Heights and a perfect craving satisfier because of their wide range of delicious Icecream, waffles, drinks, cr, soft serve, and endless creations. The staff is also always friendly! My one star off definitely doesn't reflect the food, rather the place inside, it is a bit off putting if one isn't familiar with their food. Also it would be nice to be able to sit inside but due to small space it's not somewhere you could comfortably sit. Oh and their bubble tea was way too sweet and strange flavored. Other than that, they hit the spot with their dessert creations. Keep that up and i wish you the chance to expand your store and seating situation, and overall improvement So-i readded the one star that i had taken off for the interior, because comeone, we all know good food is the ultimate goal and these guys KILL IT! Seriously the best dessert around.

    This place is definitely worth a visit if you are ever in the Detroit area. First things first,…read morethey do not take reservations and they are always on a wait, that should tell you that they are good. We arrived in the middle of a snowstorm on a weekday. It was a Friday though around 11am and, predictably, they had a wait. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. It was totally worth the wait. Their ambiance is cute- the hallway is clean, they have bench seating and they put you on the list to get a text, so you could sit in the car if you really wanted to; we did not. They could use a foyer though. It was 22 degrees and snowing so every time the door opened we were instantly freezing. The menu is massive so if you're trying this for the first time and you're from out of town, honey bring as many friends as you can so that you guys can order everything!! Theeeee must have that I tried were the smoked wings. I have never had wings that were smoked and then fried baby they were crispy. They were seasoned to the bone and were delicious. I almost ate them all and had no room for anything else. We also did the berry pancakes which could feed 3-5 people alone; second of all, they're not overly sweet, which is why I did berries and not the peaches or anything like that; and, third of all, the pancakes are the size of your face, but they are fluffy and melt in your mouth! These were easily top two pancakes I've had in my life. We also tried the shrimp and grits, also a 10/10. A generous portion of shrimp, not overcooked and the sauce was bomb. They do put bacon on it if you're not a bacon eater pay attention. I tasted around it anyways but yes, we also tried a vegetarian omelette with home fries. This was just a 7/10 but probably because we only ever tasted it reheated because we were too full to touch it. It was 3 entrees and an appetizer and was definitely enough food to feed a family of seven. This is a must visit place, so if you are in the area and have never been: make time!!!! And take some friends. Each plate is a day's worth of calories!

Theirs are more like a fried croissant, which isn't bad at all. Theirs flavors added with the dipping sauce was great. Their breakfast portions are no complaint. They are most definitely shareable sizes. I ordered a southwest skillet (just some things out) and I loved it. The shrimp and grits were really good too. Service was nice and everyone in the restaurant worked as a team. It was also very clean in the inside. Prices were very reasonable as well. I will gladly give them my business again.

They will turn you away. Quaint small space, nicely decorated and clean. We arrive for our 11am reservation with an extra person and they nicely accommodated us. Space is at premium. They have mostly 2 seater round tables. Wasn't aware of that prior but now we know. We all knew what we wanted before arriving so orders were placed at 11:10. Drinks were brought out and our server was very friendly. My entree was the avocado wrap made with a very thin waffle. At 11:45 i'm told there is no avocado for my wrap. We are the only table in here, they just opened up, why did it take 35 minutes to discover this and make me aware?? I understand things being made fresh to order but there is NO ONE ELSE HERE. I opted to take the wrap anyway and just add bacon to it. Very glad i did. It was outstanding. The raspberry jam hit perfectly with the bacon addition. This is not a huge portion and that was perfect for me as i was going to the gym after leaving this place. My two friends both had the shrimp and grits and they really enjoyed it. My friends food arrived before mine. You can see from the picture there is nothing miraculous going on with this wrap to make it take so long to create, plate and serve. I love the quaint space, enjoyed the food and our server was great. I love in the neighborhood and wanted a new breakfast spot to walk to. The speed of service was my only let down and it's a huge let down.

Being that it was snowing, I was tired and had a million other things to do, I decided to stop in and have breakfast here on the fly. Walking in, the place is large, but the tables and chairs are sparse. Not much to see here, but they seem to be holding it together. I was seated immediately and my server was attentive and nice. She snagged me a menu and they have a good selection of food to choose from. I ventured off from my usual eggs and hash browns for once and tried their breakfast sandwich. From experience, not all breakfast sandwiches are created equal! I was skeptical from being disappointed in the past. I also ordered a side of hash browns because I wanted to see what they were like. I got the sandwich on Texas toast and let me tell you, it was fabulous! It was egg and cheese only and so good. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the hash browns were as well. They were cubed style, with some onions and spice to it. I topped it off with a dash of hot sauce and boom, there ya go folks, good stuff it is! My bill was about $8 give or take, I can't remember the exact amount. Overall, a good meal for a decent price. While the place isn't super fancy on the inside, it really made a good impression on me!

There are several food businesses at the location where they all offer walk up service packages to go. There is seating to eat there, however it isn't comfortable since there are stools with high legs but the tables are too low for your legs to fit under.
