Best Gelato in Lorain

"There is nothing quite like a delicious ice cream to put a smile on a child’s face and in Cleveland, Mitchell’s Ice Cream has been delighting both children and adults for almost 20 years. The company hand-makes all their delightful ice creams in small batches at their flagship Ohio City kitchen using the best quality local produce wherever possible. The best way to learn about Mitchell’s is to go on a tour of the kitchen where you will get to see the ice cream being made, get to taste several delicious ingredients and receive a free scoop certificate to use at any time."

"Mitchell’s Homemade Ice Cream has been an ice cream staple in Cleveland since Pete and Mike Mitchell opened their first shop in Westlake in 1999. The duo soon expanded to shops in Solon, Rocky River, Beachwood, and beyond, and opened their now-flagship store and kitchen in Ohio City in 2014. They now have 10 shops across the Greater Cleveland area."

"25th St. in Ohio City - West Side, is the highest-rated dessert spot in Cleveland, boasting five stars out of 393 reviews on Yelp."

"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."

"It is only right that the best dessert parlor in Cleveland top off this list – that spot being Sweet Moses, a classic neighborhood dessert parlor with a Rockwellian 1950s vibe. Simple wooden booth seating is available and the menu has every treat one could hope for, from turtle sundaes to root beer floats. The staff even use an antique soda machine and phosphate syrups to make old-fashioned soda drinks."

"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."

"is a delicious example of the grassroots Cleveland maker economy in action. In a little more than a year’s time, owners Jesse Mason and Helen Qin went from riding the farmers market and flea circuit to a bona fide brick-and-mortar shop, buoyed by a loyal and enthusiastic clientele. That space, fittingly enough, was a seasonal neighborhood ice cream shop with 60 years under its belt before it closed."

"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!"

"I had ordered ice cream from this establishment for our firm and they had a dedicated team, excellent service and great ice cream. Thanks Cool and Hot Zone!"

"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."

"Whether you’re in Gateway District or elsewhere in Cleveland, look for places tagged with one “$”, like EDWINS Bakery and Training Center in Buckeye-Shaker Square, Phoenix Coffee Company in Warehouse District, Copper Moon espresso bar and Zaytoon Lebanese Kitchen in Gateway District, and Sweet!. The Cupcakery in Market Square, to discover your more affordable options."

"Barrio is a local chain that serves signature & build-your-own tacos, plus cocktails, in a hip, casual space. The atmosphere is casual with a unique energy that's created from the [...]. Stacy Killinger2019-05-14T16:55:00+00:00"

"A photo posted by Barrio Cleveland (@barrio_cleveland) on Oct 13, 2016 at 8:50am PDT. After a long week, Barrio is the perfect place for that Friday happy hour. You can build your own tacos or pick a few off the menu."

"Taza Lebanese Grill offers diners the warmth and flavors of traditional Lebanese home-cooked meals. Guests dine on shish entrees cooked over a charcoal grill. With a name that translates to “fresh,” there’s no question why Taza has staked its claim as one of the best restaurants in downtown Cleveland, Ohio."

"If you’re looking for a bite of Middle Eastern food but don’t want to splurge on an expensive meal, check out Taza!. This restaurant pegs itself as a Lebanese Grill and always draws..."

"If you need a mid-day pick-me-up in Ohio City, this place serves organic juices, kombucha, tasty salads, and the best vegan sandwich: The Bravacado. This sandwich is so stacked you’ll never notice that there isn’t even meat on it. With avocado, red onion, greens, smoked coconut flakes, and cashew mayo stuffed inside of two slices of crispy and chewy bread, it is a popular sandwich for locals and it’s easy to see why."
