Gelato Spot

Always quick service, always delicious. Just FYI to management, please post your ‘seasonal hours’ online. It stinks to drive all the way out there to find the bad news in someone else’s handwriting.

Pretty great! Very busy on a Friday night at the businesses surrounding. There was a selection for every taste and allergy (loved that you guys had a sugar free option!!) I had the Nikki’s cookies and cram gelato. Holy moly it was amazing! Sugar cone was fresh! My only downfall, its too close for me to walk to and enjoy regularly. The service was great but a bit pricy. For two single scoop cones it was a bit over 8 bucks. Definitely a treat for every once in a while! Thanks!

SUMMARY:
If you love American ice cream, you’ll love Gelato Spot. If you love great authentic gelati, you’ll be very disappointed.
DETAILS:
With all the rave reviews, I was SUPER EXCITED to try Gelato Spot, after having recently spent a month traveling around Italy with my hubby. I’m SUPER SAD to say I was disappointed.
I suppose our travels turned us into Gelato snobs; in Italy we made a point to eat gelati *at least* once a day and we immediately began to decipher the «good» vs the «bad» and — for fun — rated them accordingly. In comparison, the gelati at Gelato Spot is towards the bottom of the Italian gelati totem pole. At the «G Spot» the entire middle section was empty so from the slim pickings we selected:
*Pistachio (a favorite in Italy)
*Mango
*Coconut
*Mint Chocolate Chip
Do yourself a favor and skip the mango. The others were sickeningly sweet and thick and more akin to rich American ice cream, which — by the way — you can buy an entire tub for the cost of a large «gelato».

Good place to get quality gelato and relax on their patio.

I can’t say I was blown away or anything. In terms of flavor, nothing beats «That’s Amore Gelato» on Pinnacle Peak and Miller roads despite the fact that I call them thieves for charging so much for their gelato.
There is quite a variety of flavors and you can count on paying about $ 4.00 for a small cup for which they allow you to have two flavors. There are quite a few varieties and I had the coffee with rock (spelling). At first taste, I can’t say that my taste buds were overwhelmed by the quality of the ingredients. It is truly average hence a three star rating as it’s truly not the best gelato I’ve ever had.

One of our routines after a movie, is to come here for a «le petit dessert».
It also works before the movie as well. LOL. It all depends if we’re doing Reverse HH next door at Pita Jungle.
There are a few G Spots in Scottsdale. This one serves just gelato, or frozen milk as I like to think of it. The one in Old Town has some great pizza.
Several Unilocal’er it seems, have used up their allotment of the word «Amazing’ to describe the G Spot. So I’ll add delicious to the lexicon. We had the Dark Chocolate and Salty Caramel last weekend, after seeing Zero Dark Thirty.
Go! Enjoy!

Great gelato, but so expensive…

I love this place and my twins do too. They are like the Pavlov dogs, as soon as they are done with their lunch at the restaurant next door, they walk out and immediately scream for ice cream, well gelato. My little boy is expanding his horizons, he requested a taste of a different flavor and he picked his own flavor the last time we were there. I guess pretty soon I will have no say in a lot of thing. Not sure I am cool with that. I wish they would allow two flavors in the small cup like at my favorite gelato joint.

This appears to be a must after a Pita Jungle meal. Even though I was stuffed, I knew I needed to stop in.
I hardly ever come to places like these and get the first thing I try. Today was the exception. One bite of the Salted Caramel and I was hooked. With a TON of delicious looking and sounding options, this is a place I would frequent weekly if I was in the area.

Went here with my aunt who had a groupon. Not the greatest, but the place is nice anc cool and they have a great selection of gelato! id go wtih coconut or salted carmel!

Not the best gelato I’ve had, but it’s fine. Their fruit gelatos are pretty tart because, as Kerry M. mentioned, it’s done with straight fruit and water. The girls behind the counter were nice, the bathroom was clean, and I like how they have a pitcher of water so you can grab some if you want… but the prices are a little too high to keep me coming back.
As for the manager’s comment, let me know when there’s an email discount program. I’m not into my phone getting advertising texts.

I’m kind of between 2 and 3 stars here. I guess I’ll go ahead and bump them up the 3 stars because the girls working here were both really pleasant and helpful. What can I say? I’m a generous person.
So first of all, it is so freaking cold in this place. I mean, it was 105 outside and my friend and I still found it more comfortable out there than inside. Not good… especially when you’re eating something chilly. Second of all, I just really don’t like gelato that much. It’s clearly not nearly as good as ice cream and I honestly would rather have frozen yogurt. BUT, it’s obviously not their fault that I don’t love gelato. So I won’t count that against them. There are plenty of flavor options here and I thought it was kind of cool that their fruit gelatos (??? what’s the plural of gelato anyway???) are made almost entirely of fruit and water. That being said, if I want something that tastes exactly like pineapple, I guess I’d rather just eat pineapple itself than go out and get some pineapple gelato. Just sayin…
My major issue with this place is the price. More than four dollars for a tiny little scoop of gelato? You must be kidding. That seems ridiculous. Maybe gelato is really expensive to make or something, but it seems a bit extreme. Especially when I just paid like five dollars for my delicious happy hour meal next door at Pita Jungle.
Hmm…I really feel like saying this place is kind of lame, but then again, I just don’t like gelato that much.

It’s official… I have now been to all 4 Valley Gelato Spot locations and have not been disappointed at any of them! Talk about consistency… every single one tastes the same and that is delicious! Great, relaxing atmosphere and a friendly staff. My dog just can’t get enough of the peanut butter… boy, does she love this stuff! I have to admit I can’t either… the Cookies & Cream and Pineapple are incredible as well!

***** The service was fantastic, There was a nice warm lady attending the shop and the Gelato was awesome as always!!!
** Yummy Chocolate Caramel Fudge Brownie! :)

When I think of gelato, I automatically think of the Gelato Spot. First spotted them years back on Camelback and I’ve been a fan ever since. My favorite is the Stracciatella and all others fall into place.
Their free Wi-​Fi is always on and is an added touch. Let’s you just sit and relax and not head for the door.
Keep up the good work.

Gelato Spot’s ample seating and abundant selection make it a viable option for escape from deathly Arizona heat.
The gelato is on the creamier end of the creamy-​icy scale. Both the Coffee and Cookies & Cream (my favorite dessert flavors) tasted plentifully strong, coexisting wonderfully in a crisp, fresh waffle cone. The gelato also admirably withstood melting, indicating a high-​quality product unexpected at a chain.
Would revisit if in the area!

3.5 stars
Pretty good gelato chain restaurant with a decent selection of gelatos at normal prices.

Mmmm gelato.
I have mixed feelings about this place– the gelato is good, but not amazing, the prices are pretty steep for what you get, and when I was here recently the girl behind the counter was giving everyone the stink-​eye. Maybe she was just having a bad day, which happens to the best of us, but it was slightly uncomfortable and I was a almost scared to ask for a second sample. I’ll probably still come here after I go to the movies or eat at Pita Jungle next door, but its not something I would go out of my way for.

Gabi you are so awesome! G– spot pleasure is exactly what this place exemplifies!
Let’s start with the basics:
1. Creamy deliciousness in every bite!
2. Great service!
3. Comfortable and relaxing environment!
4. Open late!
With these and much more, no one can go wrong or get lost in this G-​spot experience! I had the chocolate hazel nut, and I can’t wait to come back and try what else they have to offer.

The She G-​spot has become a regular stop for us lately… it seems we’re falling into a routine where every time we eat dinner at Pita Jungle, we stroll over to the G-​spot for dessert. Every now and then I can stay strong and just sample Jared’s pick (usually lemon and raspberry), but last night — i felt the need to have my own! I went with coconut and savored every bite! It was the perfect creamy sweet treat,. and it had just the right amount of real coconut too… yum!
I love G-​Spot even more for all of their ‘People Love Us on Unilocal’ stickers in the shop — if you haven’t noticed them, you haven’t been lately… go check them out!
