Nado Gelato Cafe

Great gelato spot in Coronado! Friendly staff, so many yummy flavors to choose from, and a great setting right off the main street (Orange Ave) in Coronado. It's just tucked enough away to be quiet while also being just a block away from many other restaurants and a few blocks from the beach too :) Photos from a couple I photographed who love this place and wanted to go here for a date!

This place is good! The fruit ice creams are made with real fruit and you can taste it! All flavors just punch you in the face with flavor. So good.

Yum! Last time I had gelato this good was when I was in Italy. I had a small with 2 flavors, pear and butterscotch. The gelato is made there and kept in closed containers like it should be. The big open containers you often see at gelato places are pretty, but not as good for the ice cream. Only thing I'd prefer is to be able to have more flavors per size (smaller scoops). I love variety. But I was still happy to get 2 flavors in a small and I liked that they had how many flavors you could get right up front so I didn't have to ask. It was delicious and I'd come back.

This is just phenomenal. I had no complaints. Plus, everything is homemade. The flavor was mouth watering and the prices were very reasonable. All coffee is brewed on the spot. The staff were super friendly. Great place to get gelato while you enjoy a walk around Coronado.

Love this Gelato! Best I have had and I have tried many of their flavors. Definitely sample even the ones you can’t pronounce. Delicious & I highly recommend it!

Delicious gelato! Highly recommend the “panna cotta” flavor!

Stopped here during a self-guided tour in Coronado with my family. It was a warm Tuesday, but it wasn't busy. My nephews were able to sample the flavors, which one of them Cinnamon and I got Tiramasu. Both were really good, but I liked my nephew's Cinnamon more. My brother got Crème Brûlée, which I like over my Tiramasu as well. I guess I wasn't feeling like Tiramasu that day. There were four different sizes (Kids, Small, Medium, and Large). I got a Kid-size, which is just a scoop and satisfied my small sweet tooth at the time. I would consider coming again if I was in the immediate area.

Found this place today while walking the Coronado streets with my mom and I can say that the Gelato is fantastic. Both of us really enjoyed it. Great service too. Thank you to the lady in charge that day. Will come back again

Fantastic creamy gelato and sorbetto! This is our traditional place to visit every time we go to Coronado island. Great, helpful staff. Good, fair prices. A fun spot for a treat!

We were in the area and got some gelato while waiting for our table at a restaurant across the street, we had just finished at the San Diego zoo so we were tired and hungry! This gelato place was good. Personally I don’t eat a lot of ice cream so I always get the kids size. I couldn’t even finish mine. I got chocolate because I’m a chocolate lover. But if you see any flavors you might be iffy about, ask to try the sample. The Nutella was really good and it paired well with the banana flavor as well!

Cute little gelato place near downtown Coronado! The staff was very helpful and recommend the Panna cotta + coffee combination which tastes like a latte~ yum! The pear flavor is also very refreshing and unlike anything I’ve ever tried before! Would recommend!

The best gelato! We tried creme brule, biscotti, and pistachio. All of them were so tasty, not overly sweet. Service was great, the server recommended all the flavour and was very helpful.

We loved the gelato here so much that we had to go two times during our weekend getaway to Coronado! My husband said that it reminded him of his time spent in Italy and that it was perfect. The Nutella flavor was our favorite and creme brulee a close second! Beyond thankful for the clearly labeled vegan options for our daughter that has a dairy allergy. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Delicious affogatos - probably some of the best I’ve had. Got the cardamom and hazelnut; the hazelnut paired with with the espresso really well, super smooth.

You guys, the gelato here is FABULOUS! On or trip to Italy, we learned that excellent gelato is kept in closed containers until served, not exposed to air, nor with artificial colors, etc. We had been looking for a gelateria that did not have the heaps of air-exposed gelatos in all sorts of unnatural colors. This is among the few we have found that fit the bill. Most flavors are gluten free. They also have vegan and sugar-free selections.

I have only one word to summarize my experience at Nado Gelato: DELICIOUS!!! All the flavors I tried were awesome, but lemon sorbet, and strawberry basil were definitely my favorite!! Miss it already 🥲

All the gelato that I tasted was phenomenal. Finally settled on coffee and creme brulee. Wifey had the tiramisu and it was fantastic. We will definitely be back. Some of the best gelato I've had.

This place never fails to disappoint. Ice cream was great and staff was polite. You can never go wrong with their Strawberry flavored ice cream!

Yummy! The lady let us tried several flavors, I ended up getting hazelnut and lemon ice cream, both flavors awesome. My sister had a cremito (expresso and ice cream) she loved it.

Absolutely adorable cafe and equally incredible gelato! The staff was so welcoming and friendly too! I will for sure be back to try other flavors. They have a lot of vegan gelatos too!
