    What a great new addition to Birmingham, we walked over after having dinner across the street and were pleasantly surprised with how busy they were. The staff was very helpful and nice! I got Dubai chocolate and white chocolate raspberry, they both tasted very good and had lots of toppings mixed in. The place is small but there were plenty of tables and room to sit.

    So excited about this new gelato place!! I sampled a bunch and had the hardest time picking just one! The creamy texture, the flavor - two thumbs up! I loved kiwi flavor and white chocolate raspberry but pistachio flavor was the best I've ever had! I also loved the fact that they let you put two flavors in a small size cup. The space is nice and open, with the whole front wall opening up - perfect for the short warm season in Michigan. (Also, check out the bathroom:). It's all so orange you almost need sunglasses ). Finally, the girls at the counter are friendly and patiently let you keep trying different flavors with a smile.

    This is such a neat little gelato place! There were so many options to choose from and I find this place very unique out of all of the dessert places in downtown Birmingham. The staff was very friendly and we were served very quickly. The bathroom was also very interesting and very orange so be sure to check it out if you get a chance! My only complaint was that the store itself was outside and there weren't enough tables for the influx of customers.

    Ordered two petite cones (barely a bite each). Staff accidentally made a large cone, then shockingly tossed it in the trash instead of offering it to us. Watching perfectly good food wasted like that was upsetting and unethical. Won't be returning.

    Shock was amazing! There was not much raspberry flavor in my gelato but it was still delicious! The service was great and they welcomed us with a smile, The bathroom was so cool, very very orange!

The atmosphere alone makes you want to stay and enjoy every moment. The gelato itself is incredibly flavorful--each scoop tastes fresh, rich, and thoughtfully crafted. You can really tell they care about quality. What stood out just as much as the dessert was the staff. They were extremely friendly, warm, and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. On top of that, the shop is very clean and well-kept, which always makes a difference. If you're looking for a place with amazing gelato, great vibes, and excellent service, Momento Gelato is definitely worth a visit.

Located near Michigan & Trumbull in Corktown, it's a great spot for both social gatherings or solo visits. The staff is friendly and efficient. The affogato lives up to the hype. Not only does it satisfy a sweet tooth, it's also a nice pick-me-up. The gelato flight is a great option for sharing. $17 may seem steep, but it's cheaper than ordering multiple individual cups. Of the five flavors I've tried, the pistachio is my favorite. Momento also offers baked goods and sorbet. I've had the lemon and raspberry sorbets, and personally prefer the lemon. While the baked goods are outsourced, the croissant I had was delicious. I've also tried the lemonade. It was too sour for my liking, though I'm hoping it was just an off batch. There are also some savory options, like breakfast sandwiches and paninis, I plan on trying one day. In the few times my family and I have been to Momento, we've always left happy. Gelato isn't especially common in the Metro Detroit area, so having a solid spot like this in one of the city's most happening neighborhoods shouldn't be taken for granted.
