I Dream of Gelotti's Homemade Ice Cream

It's no secret to those who know me that I am an ice cream lover. Every year I can't wait for the weather to warm up to enjoy a cone in the park. That's why I'm always on the look out for new ice cream places to try - and when I find a place that makes their own ice cream, I have to blog about it!

Gelotti, located at 2 Union Ave in Paterson, is a favorite already for many people in the Wayne and surrounding areas. On Yelp it has 4.5 out of 5 stars and many rave that it is the best ice cream place around. However, for those of you who may be unaware of this little gem - you've got to give it a try.

No matter what your ice cream preferences are, they have it all at Gelotti. They have a great selection of gelato, Italian ice, yogurt and sorbet along with their traditional soft and hard ice cream flavors. They even have an array of ice cream cakes too.

I can tell you about how great there ice cream is all day, but why don't I show you instead? Keep reading to take a virtual visit inside this ice cream paradise with me.

Some hard ice cream flavors

Small Cookie Monster cup $3.50

Sm. Red Velvet cup $3.50

Sm. Black Raspberry & Vanilla Chocolate Chip cup - $3.50

Hopefully you can tell from these pictures how awesome the portions are. They give you a whole lot of ice cream for the price. They also let you sample as many flavors as you like and you can mix scoops of different flavors too.

Mine is the blue one, named Cookie Monster after the infamous Sesame Street character. It is basically vanilla ice cream loaded with chocolate chip cookie dough chunks and oreo pieces. It's my personal favorite flavor. However, they have lots of other awesome ones like Cake Batter and Almond Joy, to name a few.

The service is quick and great and the ice cream has never disappointed. If you are in the area this summer, give it a try!
