Best Gelato in Cleveland

"Mitchell’s Homemade Ice Cream is a unique Cleveland ice cream shop with an incredible passion for their product and for their city. Mitchell’s handcrafts their ice creams one small batch at a time in their flagship Cleveland store, using local grass-fed dairy and fresh seasonal ingredients. My personal favorite flavor is the Carmel Fudge Brownie scooped into a freshly made waffle cone!"

"At Mitchell’s the first thing that you notice is the depth of flavor!. They really do have something for everyone’s taste buds including our vegan and dairy-free friends. Ingredients are at the forefront of what they do."

"Mitchell brothers transformed a historic theatre to offer handcrafted ice creams made in full view with local, organic and fair-trade ingredients. Visit 10 unique shop locations."

"Next up is Detroit Shoreway's Sweet Moses Soda Fountain & Treat Shop, situated at 6800 Detroit Ave. With 4.5 stars out of 341 reviews on Yelp, it's proven to be a local favorite, serving up homemade ice cream, signature sundaes, malts, fudge and handmade confections. You can even try a throwback pharmacy-era soda fountain drink, what Sweet Moses' website bills as "forgotten favorites from the golden age of the soda fountain." The retro vibe continues throughout the shop, with an authentic Bastion-Blessings soda fountain, old-fashioned cash register, marble counter tops and restored wrought-iron chairs."

"Also in Detroit Shoreway is Sweet Moses Soda Fountain & Treat Shop, at 6800 Detroit Ave. It's another top choice, with Yelpers giving the chocolatier, which offers desserts, ice cream and frozen yogurt and more, 4.5 stars out of 396 reviews."

"If it’s innovative, Instagram-ready flavors of ice cream that you’re looking for, then you need look no further than Mason’s Creamery in Ohio City. Mason’s is a small-batch ice cream shop known for its experimental flavors and making everything from scratch. They try new things all the time, whether it’s soft serve, ice cream donut sandwiches, or interesting collaborations with other local brands and businesses."

"Over in Detroit Shoreway, check out Mason's Creamery, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 181 reviews on Yelp. You can find the dessert stand, which offers ice cream, frozen yogurt and other sweet treats, at 4401 Bridge Ave. The stand makes small batches of homemade ice cream and serves up flavors that include Summer Strawberry, Ugandan Vanilla, Cleveland Whiskey, Vietnamese Coffee and Mexican Chocolate."

"Mason’s Creamery is a very unique spot in Cleveland owned by a couple from Los Angeles. They have very different and quirky twists on classic ice cream that everyone loves. Not only do they have killer ice cream flavors but in the winter it turns into a ramen joint!"

"When I asked people on Twitter about their favorite Cleveland ice cream spots, one shop kept being mentioned: Honey Hut. Honey Hut doesn’t actually have a location in downtown Cleveland, but it’s such a local favorite that I decided it deserved a spot on this list anyway. They’ve been serving ice cream in the area since 1974, and are known for using honey instead of sugar as a sweetener for their flavors."

"Honey Hut is a Cleveland staple and has been thriving in our community since 1974. It has been family owned and operated even since. What makes this place so special is the family environment and, of course, that their ice cream is naturally sweetened with honey!"

"A photo posted by Honey Hut Ice Cream (@honey_hut) on Sep 1, 2016 at 4:39pm PDT. Honey Hut is the place to go when you're looking for hard ice cream. They do have soft serve, but trust me, you'll want one of their peanut butter sundaes on a hot summer day."

"Malley’s is much better known in Cleveland for their decadent chocolates but they also have an ice cream parlor as well. This is a great place to go not only for some yummy ice cream but for the environment. They have a vintage pink and green theme that takes you right back to when the store first opened!"

"And for my dairy free and vegan friends we have Ice Cream Joy!. They have small batch ice cream that skips the preservatives and only uses real ingredients which you can taste in every bite. This is not just for the non-dairy and vegan folks but for everyone who loves a tasty sweet treat!"

"13743 Madison Ave, Lakewood(with shops in Mentor and Stow, too). To be fair, Lakewood’s Addicted doesn’t *just* do ice cream. They also serve up espresso drinks and cold brew, cookies and muffins, and even sandwiches."

"This hip coffee shop in Lakewood does indeed serve up lots of caffeinated beverages (their vanilla lavender latte is a favorite of mine), but also has fresh croissants, crepes, smoothies, salads, and more on offer. The inside space at Caffeine is high-ceilinged yet cozy feeling, and would make a great place to come and work if you can get here early enough to snag a couch or prime table. Caffeine only opened in Lakewood in 2019, but has already earned a reputation of being a great local, independent coffee shop."

"Grumpy’s Café in Tremont is a relaxed, funky café serving favourite breakfast and brunch options. The walls are covered in a continually changing artwork, making each visit feel like a new location, but the real draw is the food. The brunch menu is heavy on the pancakes, like the pumpkin pancakes or the buckwheat and walnut pancakes and be sure to get the Cajun home fries."

"A long standing family owned restaurant serving fresh Cleveland Feel-Good Food to locals & travelers alike. Located in the heart of Tremont, 2 minutes from major highways. A perfect place for a quick..."

"The owner is a wonderful graceful woman whom comes in and helps her staff as well as talks to her customers."

"In 1891, the Cleveland Spiders of the National League began play at a ballpark at the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 66th Street, situated at the end of a trolley line. For the next half-century, League Park would be home to luminaries of sport, from baseball to football to boxing. The building that originally housed the Indians team and ticket office is now a museum, open Saturdays year-round with expanded hours in the summer (during baseball season, of course)."
