    Sweet treats!
    Caroline J.

    Delicious gelato place! My husband and I tried their caramel gelato as well as their kinder bueno and both were yummy. They have fruit flavored gelato as well as soft-serve, and baked goods. There is no seating inside but they do have picnic tables outside. The gentleman who served us was very nice and we will have to go back and try some more of their offerings!

    Hidden treasure in the strip mall! A sweet treat at a sweet price. We came here for a little treat while on a day trip to W-burg and loved this find. Bakery items are amazing. Gelato was Italian style for sure with at least 16 selections. We had soft serve as well and a root beer float and it was very nice on a HOTtttt day. Each treat was probably $7-$8 so very reasonable!!! Enjoy your new favorite hidden treasure. There isn't much seating so some little cafe tables would be great as an upgrade in the future!!

    My wife had seen this place while driving by and said "I think it's a soft-serve place." Well, that was all I needed to hear- I'm a soft-serve fanatic! I didn't actually get a soft-serve ice cream, though. Because they had SICILIAN PISTACHIO GELATO, and if there's one thing I like more than soft-serve ice cream, it's pistachio ice cream. Or, gelato. Sadly, I ate it so quickly that I couldn't even get a picture. 1 scoop was $5 plus tax. It's a little spendy, but utterly worth it. I will definitely be back soon.

    Check out the menu. It's all good, if you're in Williamsburg check this spot out. They have soft serve!

    Awesome service and Ice Cream. The shake was amazing! It's a quaint little shop with just enough seating for a small family or date.

    After trying a different Gelati Celesti at a Yelp event, I couldn't wait to try the one at Town…read moreCenter. I had seen many great reviews but was under the misconception that it was a Gelato shop only. Not so, They have awesome ice cream, including dairy free options. The seasonal flavors have a wonderful consistency that I absolutely love. The dairy free choices, which I had tried at my earlier visit, had a normal ice cream consistency. At this trip to the Town Center shop I had a scoop of Lemon Custard & Peach. Both were awesome but I think my favorite is Lemon Custard, both from the seasonal list. Please don't take away the Lemon Custard in the fall in favor of pumpkin flavors. I love the Lemon Custard!!! Serving was excellent. I didn't need to do a taste test because I knew exactly what I wanted. I also signed up for the rewards program. Who can turn down the chance to get their awesome selections as a reward. The shop was set up similar but slightly different than the previous shop I had visited. The seating area was comfortable and spacious. In addition there was covered outside seating. The wall decorations fit the focus of the shop. The unisex bathroom had the same pink hall & door with the inside of the door painted blue. What an awesome way to decorate a unisex bathroom. The shop is in the TOWN CENTER Columbus Village Shopping Center. It's just around the corner front Barnes and Noble in the small amount of shops facing Virginia Beach Boulevard. You better believe I'll return. Thank you Victoria and Yelp for introducing me to this wonderful shop. I'm so glad there's one at Town Center.

    Honestly obsessed with Gelati Celesti. It is easily my favorite place to get ice cream. The flavors…read moreand the consistency of the icecream is top tier! My favorite flavor ever is the Cherry Vanilla that they normally have around February. Recently this summer I have been enjoying the Duo, the Coffee & Cream, and Mint Straciatella. The staff is always so sweet and helpful & the space is just a nice vibe. The best part is you can buy any flavor you like as a pint. I try to take advantage of that when my favorite flavors are available for a limited time.

    I hate having my time wasted because I have so little of it. I used to love the banana ice cream…read more One day I went to get it and it was.. just gone, so my boyfriend and I left and went to scoop to get their banana pudding which is amazing. Today... today. They posted that that banana ice cream is back to which I replied "what??? Really?" Something to that effect. They read the message within a minute and did not reply. Within 10 mins I drove there to get it and it was "sold out". Twice now they've wasted my time. I fault whoever is behind the screen managing their social media. Scoop it is! Or anywhere else for that matter after that.

I love the bright colors they use to decorate with. They also sell some swag, like tshirts. Staff was great. They had no problem filling in requests for samples, and explain what flavors they had. There were many flavors to choose from, including non dairy options. Just Ask is one of my go to flavors. It s a vanilla or white chocolate ice cream with peanut butter, and cookies I assume oreos. I opted for Just Ask and chocolate with peanut butter. I clearly was looking for peanut butter. Parking is tricky, as it is on the street. There is a small lot in the back, but there is designated spots for other places. There is also another lot behind it but that is for the antique business. I love that there is a spot to get water from a dispenser and is free. I seriously love that.
