Gelaco

Decent gelato. Overpriced for sure.

They got some crazy rules here. One of our group of 7 was not feeling well so didn’t drink anything. They still charged us for him sitting there even though 6 of us had ordered items and some ordered multiple items. I got the pistaccio gelato. It was freezer burn on it and didn’t taste all that good anyways. Sorry, but I don’t recommend this spot.

This place looks like a set from The Walking Dead… it was a sunny day and the place was completely empty… The ice cream tasted like it was coming from a Dreyers container. No ice cream was shown in the front counter and one scoop of ice cream was six bucks… This is not Haagen Dazs. Service was nice though so that’s why it gets two stars…

Too expensive! Charges unnecessary fees like the 16% for 3 or more people. Lady said she had to charge us because the computer was down. Charged us dine in fee for to go coffee. Never coming here again.

Horrible service. Worst drinks. Charged obscene fees for to go order due to register being broken. Won’t be back.

I was skeptical about the gelato here bc it seemed watery and I like creamy. Anyways, I got strawberry cheesecake, cookies and cream, crème brûlée. They looked watery but they were chunky like 0% milk fat xD. The cheesecake one had actual cheesecake in it like mashati malones. Also the c&c had Oreos in it. And crème brûlée was so nice. Really good place! Creamy but it feels healthy creamy and that satisfied me. The service was patient an so nice. Deserved some tips bc I can be a handful when sampling lol.

Gelaco is a great spot to grab a quick scoop. Sam, the owner, is very friendly. The flavors are all pretty good, especially the crème brûlée and lemon sorbet.
Are you annoyed that this isn’t authentic gelato? You are in KOREATOWN. Take a deep breath. Everything will be okay.

Tasty ice cream after dinner at K-​town.
Nothing too special but for what is out there, I am a fan.
Parking is pretty whacked at the center and I had a owner of a store
block my truck when trying to get out. But I was in no rush so I just waited
about 10 minutes for the guy to come out and realize he blocked me.
Not bad

One of the best gelatos in town! It’s worth the price. Some of the best flavored are the double espresso, pistachio, and coconut macadamia nut. The main guy behind the counter is also very generous with the sampling.
Buon appetito!
PS: parking sucks. Only handful spaces. You’re better off parking on the residential side street but read signs carefully for street cleaning days!

I decided to get an iced coffee while waiting for my car at the car wash across the street. I was greeted by Sammy, who immediately offered me samples of the delicious gelato. The crème brûlée gelato was sooo delicious and that’s when Sammy introduced me to gelato/​coffee heaven. Affogatto. Two scoops of gelato with a shot of delicious espresso. OMG.
You can tell that Sammy takes such pride in everything that he makes, from the gelato to the coffee, and I am so happy to have found this place.

My new favorite ice cream/​gelato shop in LA! A girlfriend showed me Gelaco this weekend and I’m already in love!
TONS of flavors to choose from which is the hardest decision you’ll have to make. I tried about 5 different flavors before making my decision and I def wanted to try more but I felt bad asking to sample so many. I decided to get a big olé waffle cone with two scoops of pistachio gelato. Totally yummy and i believe I probably set a world record for how fast I devoured it! The only negative I have about my whole trip is the fact that I didn’t get 3 scoops :/

Took a quick rest on their seats outside, when I was suddenly greeted by Sammy w free samples! He’s the owner there and since he was so nice I bought a mango icy… um…so good :)
Def come here to relax, study, or grab a quick drink!

Ambience is nice and so are the staff. I can’t justify paying THAT MUCH for something so little. I saw the medium cup and was excited only to get two spit sized scoops take up ¹⁄₃ of the cup. What a waste of a good cup and money.
Won’t be coming back here. I feel bad, as the location is hidden and the staff work hard. The price is not right… and neither are the portions.

This is for their pistachio gelato. It has the texture of a sorbet; slushy and light, if anyone has had real pistachio gelato from an italian or european shop you’d immediately tell this isn’t authentic. Its not creamy or rich in flavor at all. Dont waste your money in this shop, its nasty despite all the positive reviews its just not real gelato.

I walked in, and was instantly greeted. Samuel (later found out his name) was very polite and suggested me their specialties. But at the end I decided to go with white chocolate mocha, he made it and brought it to and wanted to make sure I liked it. I was aware that white chocolate mocha is a very sweet coffee but didn’t want to bother to mention to make it less sweet because it is a hassle. When he asked me it was at the second time, I told him it was honestly too sweet. And he smiled politely and was happy to add another shot to my drink, and made sure I liked it:) I been here couple of times before the owner changed, and this service is wayy more friendly. Also they still have the best tasting gelato in koreatown!

Really friendly staff. They were generous with their samples and gave helpful advice. The gelato was tasty and they had a good variety of flavors as well as coffee and tea drinks.
I got the mango and raspberry in a cup. Both were tasty and naturally flavored. The guy also told me that they add no sugar to these flavors. My girlfriend got an affogato with tiamisu and hazelnut that was also very tasty.
They offered free wifi and there was ample seating available. I came here not expecting much because of the location and few Unilocal reviews, but I would definitely come here again.

I was a little hesitant to go in initially because it was completely empty on a Saturday night. Maybe everyone was out partying and I’m the only one who’s thinking about filling up my tummy with sweets. I tried a couple of flavors and they were all decent. The hazelnut, though, blew my mind. Please try!

Gelaco is that odd nth-​child you have in your family. The one that makes you wonder: «How’d this kid get here in the first place?»
Your eldest hands you a hand-​made collage from school. «Mommy, look what I made today in Miss Kinley’s class!»
«Awwh, that’s sweet dear.»
Your youngest comes up to you for a hug and coos in toddler speak, «I luv yoo Mummy.»
«Awwh, I love you too dear.»
Suddenly, Gelaco comes strolling out of nowhere, and slaps that collage right out of your hands. Places a cup of Tiramisu gelato in its place, and offers you a tiny taster spoon to use on a non-​tasting-​sample-​size. «WTF, Gelaco», you think to yourself as you scoop a tiny piece of gelato with your comparatively hulkish monster hands. Oh well. It’s gelato, right?
WRONG. It’s GELACO! That smooth texture of gelato? Replaced with grainy bits of mystery, thanks to Gelaco! That captured essence of Tiramisu? Guess again, sucker. Soggy ladyfinger crumbs for all, thanks to Gelaco!
Oh, Gelaco. I don’t know whether to give you participation points or disown you.

The guys we went out to dinner with took us here after the Thai food to get some dessert. I was a bit hesitant on what to get, so I settled for what I know, lol, I got cookies and cream, while my sister got cookie dough, and her boyfriend, strawberry.
Overall, it was pretty good, but nothing spectacular.
Maybe if they had more options and a clearer way of how to order? Still worth trying out if you’re in the area though.

Obviously whoever chose the name for the place wasn’t the winner of any 3^rd grade spelling bee.
Whenever I go into a sushi place I always wonder whether the owners are Japanese or Korean, cause a lot of sushi restaurants are Korean owned.
Well now they are taking over ice cream and gelatos as well! Taking over the world one cuisine at a time!
But never you mind. The portions are huge! It was too much ice cream even for me!
It’s in a tight little structure in Ktown across the street from a Weinerschnitzel. The parking is ridiculous.
Is it Gelato? It’s more creamy than what I’m used to, it had more of a hybrid texture between ice cream and a sorbet.
I had a scoop of burnt caramel crème brûlée and a scoop of pistachio because I just can’t control myself. I decided to get it on a cone so I could be environmentally friendly and save a cup :)
The crème brûlée was my favorite of the two, rich and creamy and full bodied with a touch of almost caramel-​like swirls. It was almost like eating crème brûlée but on a cone!
Pistachio was a bit melted by the time I got down to that part, but I can say it was really pistachio-​y. There was a large amount of pistachio bits throughout the ice cream and it was deeeelish!
