    Apple pie and Belgian dark chocolate, small
    Alyssa S.

    Super delicious gelato at the Del. A much better deal than getting dessert in one of their sitdown restaurants, and you can sit outside and eat it and enjoy the same view after. They don't allow tastes but you can get two flavors in a small. I got the apple pie and Belgian dark chocolate and both were delicious. The portions did not look that big but it was very filling, almost too much in a small. Highly recommended if you're hanging out at the Del - or an incentive to come spend the day here, even though parking is not cheap!

    Mint chocolate chip and lemon pie gelato
    Cameron Z.

    Best dessert at the Del in this cute little gelato shop. They have a lot of flavors and they sell gelato popsicles. I enjoyed their mint chip! They always have a long line but it goes fast. They'll let you sample only two gelatos. That helps the line move.

    This place is always very busy, and only 2 people were working for the long line of people that were waiting. Gelato is fine, but nothing great. And they had no tastings available that day. I thought it was just that one day they were understaffed but based on the reviews, seems to be an actual problem. Understaffed place with average, overpriced gelato. I'd recommend stopping by only if you happen to be in Hotel Del and is a week day.

    Ice cream flavors!
    Danielle B.

    Sundaes at the del was such a tasty treat! We were walking around and visiting Coronado island and hotel on a warm day and wanted some ice cream! This place was the perfect place for that! I ordered two flavors and got the birthday cake and Madagascar vanilla. The hubby ordered the cookies and Creme and Madagascar vanilla. I wish the prices were a little less but for the area it makes sense. The staff was nice. I wish there was seats inside but we stood in a shady spot and enjoyed our ice cream!

    Chocolate chip
    Jenny V.

    My chocolate chip ice cream was delicious. My friends and I came on a Saturday. They only had 2 employees working so the line was very long. We waited a good 30 mins to get ice cream. They need to have a full staff on a a Saturday so that the wait isn't that long. The 2 workers were also taking their time to serve. Overall the ice cream was delicious just the wait time was the downfall.

    Sorry not sorry for the melted ice cream pic. My husband went to pick up ice cream for us while our toddler was blissfully napping on the beach under the comfort of an umbrella and I was on watch duty. It was a hot San Diego summery day. The ice cream line was long, but my husband was smart enough to ask the workers to put the scooped ice cream into the freezer while he waited in the second equally slow line to pay. And then he trekked back to our little spot of heaven on the beach. Even though the ice cream was partially melted by the time it reached me, it was sweet and creamy. Not the best ice cream I've had, and per my husband the service was so so. But there really aren't many options for nearby ice cream to enjoy while at Coronado Beach, so this did the job. We enjoyed our sweet treat on the beach while our toddler was tuckered out.

    Oreo pop with white chocolate drizzle
    Nick P.

    We have been here twice. Most recent visit has been the least pleasant. Their gelato pops are good but way too overpriced. The oreo gelato pop is the best and tastes really good dipped in chocolate with white chocolate drizzle. You are limited to 2 samples per person if you want to try out their gelato. The staff here is very unfriendly. They rush you to try the samples and order your items. I have to knock them down a star because of that. It's just dessert, you can take the time to make the customers feel welcomed..

    Love that they had a quick treat at the shops! The gelato is expected to be overpriced!! A small starts at $9, but you get two flavors, I got the coconut and cherry chocolate flavor. It was perfect for a nice sunny day out in SD. The line was about 10-15 minutes on a Saturday with only 3 workers. Def expect a wait and steep prices. But overall yummy!

    There was a long wait to order. It felt like they were understaffed for a Saturday. I order a small which comes with 2 small scoops of gelato. I chose the cookies n cream and pistachio. The cookies n cream was good but the pistachio was okay.

    Jonathan C.

    Ice cream and service was great. But the prices are ridiculous. We didn't know the prices til we paid unfortunately. There wasn't anything on the menu. Good to try once but not worth the price.

    Nice walk through Coronado up to hotel Del and good ice cream was GOOD! Love stopping here when we visit the island perfect for a walk

    Cute little gelato shop inside the Hotel Del. It was convenient and nice to have a cold treat after walking along the beach. Small selection of gelatos and a little pricey. I got the banana gelato to try something different. The popsicles were good but also a little pricey at $8 each.

    Coconut on the bottom, Lemon Pie on top
    Peyton G.

    The gelato flavors all looked good. The lemon pie was delicious. It had pieces of pie crust throughout the scoop. The coconut was also very good. I think they are great flavors, but lemon pie comes out on top.

At the end of the line when you're ready to pay they have a machine on the customer's side where you can do it yourself but it was tap only with the card. We scrambled for a second because one of the cards we had didn't have tap working. Ambiance: Nice little stop for ice cream while strolling around coronado. You can smell the sweet ice cream scent from the outside as you walk by too. There will be a line on the weekends but isn't a super long wait.

    Worst brunch of my life!!…read more Where do I even begin? We were in Coronado looking for a brunch spot and this place came recommended. Since we had never tried a European-style café before, we thought we'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Everything from the food to the ambiance and overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The paninis were unbelievably bland -- they really need some kind of sauce or spread because they had almost no flavor at all. On top of that, the prices were surprisingly high for what we received. The desserts were around $11 each, and they didn't even taste fresh. The bread pudding was so hard we could barely get our fork through it. The only redeeming thing about this place is the location. Otherwise, the tables and floors looked unclean, which made the whole experience even more off-putting. This restaurant really needs to revisit its menu and overall upkeep because, as it stands, it's not a place we'd return to.

Honestly, it was the perfect size for two people to share without feeling heavy after midnight. What stood out the most was the kindness we received even as hey were closing, and our transaction was complete and paid in full. Manny still offered us cups of ice water and extra napkins without hesitation. That small gesture really added to the experience and made us feel welcomed instead of rushed out. He got a well deserved tip for that California love he gave us. I'd definitely return here whenever I'm back in San Diego.

I wouldn't recommend bringing a large family here because it's pretty much $20 a person if you get the normal size Sundays. It's too bad they stopped handing out samples. Looks like business has slowed down a bit.

I'm from New Orleans and have yet to find a true snowball spot outside of there, so I wasn't about to turn around. The line looked intimidating at first, stretching to the door, but it actually moved pretty quickly. It took about 10 minutes to order and get my food, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the small passionfruit shaved ice stuffed with avocado pistachio ice cream and topped with condensed milk. The ice cream alone deserves its own moment. It was easily some of the best I've had. Rich, creamy, and genuinely impressive. The shaved ice, though, didn't land the same way for me. The menu leans heavily into fruit flavors, which just don't pair that well with something like pistachio or chocolate-based ice cream. The passionfruit itself was pretty tart, which might work on its own, but it clashed with the creaminess of the ice cream. I found myself wishing they had options like coconut, amaretto, or chocolate syrups to balance things out better. Also, coming from New Orleans, I'm used to condensed milk being layered throughout, not just on top. It makes a difference in every bite. And honestly, the price here is noticeably higher for something that didn't quite hit the same. I'd come back for the ice cream without hesitation. As for the shaved ice, it just didn't quite deliver that nostalgic snowball experience I was hoping for. The service was phenomenal though. And it was a lively crowd.
