Cocco’s Gelateria

Honestly, this place’s sorbettos and gelatos rival Capogiro in Philly and any of the joints in NYC. The Biscotti, Vanilla, Irish Whiskey (tastes like Bailey’s) and Banana varieties rocked my world.
I had a first-​class affogato with a delicious espresso pulled just for me.
EVERYthing is home-​made — cakes, novelties — even Pizzelle.
Can’t wait to return and so glad a local chick turned me on to this place.
Cheaper than Rita’s. No comparison. JUST GO!!!

Best gelato

Excellent variety of gelatos, sorbets, and ice creams. Some really creative seasonal flavors too, like mulled apple cider sorbet (which tastes just like mulled apple cider!). They also carry a variety of frozen and baked desserts, also great, like cake pops, birthday cake bars and ricotta cookies.

One of my face places on Earth! I am a local since childhood and I love to go there and have cappuccino and delicious gelato with my gfs… the staff are always so kind and curteous, love the various flavors of gelato they have to offer, pastries and drinks… also love the fact that you can place big orders for holidays and/​or parties. I always get dessert to bring to my family Thanksgiving dinner or New Years Day lunch and people LOVE. They change the flavors often to keep it interesting. Its nice to have something amazing in the location since What’s the Scoop is no longer. Doesn’t hurt that Coccos Pizza is the same Co, so you can go for dinner first and go right next door for dessert. Great lil spot!

Love this place! Located where What’s the Scoop? used to be a while ago it was added to the Cocco family and brought to life! You can get just about anything dessert. They serve in the main section so many kinds of Gelato, Sorbet, and Ice Cream. The flavors are almost always interchanged and sometimes there are brand new flavors just for your various sweet tooths!
I had today a biscotto cookie, coconut gelato on a waffle cone. I could tell and wasn’t surprised they used real coconut and it was delicious. They serve coffee, cappuccino, and even free water if you’ve got to cleanse the palette or at least have a sugar break! I’ve gotta try their ricotta cookie and there are endless possibilities to find out here. You can also dine in where there are tables, chairs and even a lounging section (couch, etc.) or outside around the umbrella tables. I just had to have their cake pops (cake and icing on a stick) as they are tasty treats to take home if you’ve got to go.
Have a question and want to know what they have? Just ask and they are friendly to help you out. Try this place if you want to relax for a bit as there is a chance there’s something to eat here you definitely will like.

love this place! MY husband, DAUGHTER, and myself totally jonzin all of the time! THE staff make our trips even more enjoyable, they are welcoming, informative, and make you feel like one of the guys! Thanks for all Your goodies!

Don’t know why it has taken me so long to review this place, but here I am. This place is the bomb! I’m not a «dessert person» but I could come here everyday. It’s that good. The various kids of frozen desserts are the best. Fresh. Everything! Awesome flavors you don’t see anywhere else. The place is also super clean. You could eat off the floors if your food falls on it. They keep it that clean.
The customer service is fabulous. I take my kids here, and of course they want to sample a bunch of stuff. No matter when I go, how busy they are, or who is working, they accomodate with a smile. Always friendly. I love it, my wife loves it, and my kids love this place. You will too. Prices very reasonable, too!

Winter is not the time that you think of gelato but we were in the mood and had yet to try this place. I remember when this was What’s the Scoop and it was filled with families and not the best ice cream. It closed and this building became part of the Cocco’s empire. No pizza here just desserts and coffee.
You have your choice of gelato, sorbetto, and ice cream. In addition you have cups and cones, sundaes and milkshakes to choose from. The have cakes by the slice, cookies and frozen cakes too. They have coffee, flavored coffee, espresso and cappuccino and Toroni syrups. You can eat in, take out, or eat in the courtyard between the ice cream shop and the pizza store when the weather is good. Bottom line, you have lots if choices.
Today both of us had a cappuccino and two scoops of the frozen treats. The cappuccino was good but needed a bit more foam and less milk. The gelatoes we selected were Toroni (nougat) and pomegranate and the sorbettos were salted caramel and dark chocolate. The nougat gelato was sweet but the nougat taste was very subtle. The pomegranate was tart and sweet and definitely home made as we found a pomegranate seed in there. The sorbettos were creamy and flavorful. Total check: $ 13.
The pictures already posted of the interior are accurate. There are plenty of seats at tables, a counter, and black leather sofas, plus the exterior seating.

This place was very good. The staff was very friendly and over all the place is very cute. The Gelato is very favor full and displayed beautiful in the cases when you walk in. I was only here one other time and the owner remember me and asked how I was doing. So over all I gave them a five star review. The place is very, clean and it looks like an old fashion ice cream shop which is hard to, find in philly. Thank u very, much for. the wonderful experience.

They have selection of gelato, sorbet, and ice cream. Gelato was very good and decently priced. They gave bigger scoops than I expected. Nice seating outside as well.

My girlfriend and I have lived by this place for a while and had never gone. We finally went and it exceeded expectations. The portions were large and not overly expensive. I had the chocolate oreo and it was excellent. There is also outside seating. Excellent

The dark chocolate sorbetto is an absolute miracle. I don’t know how something so creamy can possibly be dairy-​free. It is, hands-​down, the best dark chocolate sorbet I’ve ever had. Top it with their to-​die-​for peanut butter sauce and, well, deliciousness overload.
I’ve also had the gelato and it’s always really good, the hubs particularly likes the chocolate hazelnut gelato. The cookies are also very good, especially the ricotta cookies. And the employees are all so friendly! I was initially sad when What’s the Scoop left, but I really love this place.

Absolutely amazing!
The employees know you by name and are always laughing and smiling. They are extremely professional and have the best attitudes!
I always get the same couple of things but are always so delicious! My husband likes to get something different every few times and never has a complaint.

A nice little ice cream/​dessert shop next to Cocco’s Pizza. There’s a fair selection of homemade gelato and it’s OK, but honestly you can find much better downtown. They have a wide variety of other desserts as well, including ice cream, cakes, cookies, etc. Oh, and coffee! Who doesn’t love coffee with dessert?
The décor is cute with ice cream parlour wire-​back chairs, tables and a comfy couch to cuddle up on while you eat your sweet treat.
It’s nice to have a convenient place to satisfy your sweet tooth instead of just grabbing a pint of ice cream at Wawa.

Omg this is the best place in Philly. The gelato is fresh homemade and ITALIAN. The cakes are very good and are fresh baked daily. Not only will it be good but will be better then the giant ice cream cakes across the street. Make sure you try the pizza shop next store.

Good, fun little ice cream (or «gelato») shop. They have all the standard flavors, plus new & different flavors all the time. Everytime I stop in, it seems they have some new flavor they’re trying out. Some are good, some… not so good. But hey, why not give different new flavors a try? The quality is pretty good, not exactly gourmet, but very creamy, with good flavor, and very fresh. Prices are reasonable. Good place for a date…

Stopped there yesterday for the first time and impressed by the excellent display of sweet stuff! I tried the amaretto gelato and it was amazing! I cannot believe that I haven’t been there before as I live really close. I recently went to Italy and I was happy to find a local gelataria with such wonderful selections.
The décor was pretty and the place was spotless. Service was quick. It’s a great place for a date or to meet up with friends to partake in something sweet. I highly recommend this place!

If you get the hankering for something sweet, this is the place to be. Not a big gelatto fan however, the cakes, pies and cookies are the best.
They sale items single serve so you get to sample what you like without breaking the bank. Then if you really like a certain cake and/​or pie after tasting a slice, you can order a whole cake to share with others, you just have to give a couple days notice when placing whole cake or pie orders.
The prices are great, product and quality the best and to top it off the place is very clean. Also, the staff and owner are very nice and make you feel very welcome.
Im glad this place is here and hope they stick around for awhile. Try them out, you wont be disappointed.

I’ll start by saying that I wasn’t a huge fan of the original What’s The Scoop that was in here before. It’s not that they were bad. Far from it. I just always thought there were better ice cream options. I have always been a Brusster’s man, but the Brusster’s around me have all gone away. So with a few less really good ice cream options locally open to me, I will welcome Cocco’s Gelateria’s presence with open arms.
I tried them out yesterday for the first time. It was about 6pm on a Friday, and I picked up two milkshakes for the wife and I. Can’t say I ever had a milkshake out of gelato, so this would be a first. The server behind the counter had her customer service skills down pat, offering me tastes of the flavors as a sample, and making combination recommendations. Very nice.
I went with the chocolate hazelnut for the wife, and put together an chocolate and banana combo shake for me, both thick. When I got home with the shakes, the wife declared hers phenomenal. I must say that making a thick milkshake with gelato gives it quite the creamy texture. I had no problem polishing off mine.
Flavor wise was it the best gelato I ever had? Well, no. But it was high up on the flavor scale. I will say that after tasting my wife’s shake, I actually enjoyed hers more than my choice. Just more of a testament to the chocolate hazelnut gelato flavor itself. I’ll probably go for that next time.
Cocco’s earned a return trip from me in the future. I’ll concur with a previous review and say that the baked goods looked incredible. Though I did not partake, the snickerdoodles they had there were calling my name.
Next time, snickerdoodles… next time!

This place replaced «What’s the Scoop,» and frankly, it’s a change for the better. Extremely friendly staff, eager to take care of whatever you’d like. They’re also extremely knowledgeable of the products they sell, which is something I really never expected/​cared about from an ice cream place, but it’s a nice perk!
The selection is simply incredible. New flavors of gelato/​sorbet/​ice cream are constantly coming in, each one getting better than the flavor it replaced. They also let you try any flavor you want! As if that weren’t enough, they have fresh baked goods, from Ricotta-​Cookies, to Peanut-​Butter and Jelly cupcakes. They all know who I am there, as I’m the guy who infamously devours their cheesecake several times a month (…week). Yeah, it’s that good.
They’ve also got a wide variety of tea, coffee, imported carbonated beverages, frozen cakes and home-​made popsicles, and just about everything else you could ever want. On top of all this, it’s all reasonably priced! This place is a gem.
It’s got a 1950’s, ‘Happy Days’ sort of feel about the place, which also sets it apart from other dessert shops in the area. It’s an awesome place for a date, hanging out, or simply killing some time.
They’ve also got free wi-​fi, two large flat-​screen television sets (a great place to watch a Phillies game!), couches, as well as outdoor patio seating.
Furthermore, they are basically open all day and night, so you don’t have to worry about the possibility of it being closed. Honestly, you can’t beat this place. I’ll probably head over there after dinner tonight.
