Gelato Paradiso

Sellers are very impatient and did not good behavior with customer. We wait long line when we want choose the flavor they don’t have patient with customers that is very bad.
Also they don’t have good scoop measure someone put very little in their cone.
But I like their cone ice cream.

This place is really popular, hence the long lines but it is totally worth it. Also, it’s like a 5 min walk to Laguna Beach, so gelato and walking on the beach can’t be beat. The waffle cone is freshly made and there is a dollar off for Unilocal check ins. The gelato itself is super smooth and oddly, incredibly light, they also pack in the cone pretty generously.
The food:
Pistacchio (pistachio) — The pistachio was excellent, I really loved the texture and it had a very pronounced pistachio flavor.
Bacio (dark chocolate hazelnut) — I really enjoyed this one as well but for a dark chocolate, it was a tad sweet, the texture was great, though.
Gianduia (milk chocolate hazelnut) — I thought the milk chocolate version was good but a tad light on flavor.
Sorbetto Del Lampone (raspberry) I enjoyed the flavor of the raspberry but it was tart, like face puckeringly tart. lol

Hands down the best gelato I’ve had! The store is hidden in a cute alley. You can seriously smell the waffle cones down the street. The wait wasn’t very long and the employees were patient when it came time to sampling the gelato. I ordered a small cone with chocolate chip. This size was more than enough. There are several flavors to choose from. You won’t be disappointed.

Love this place. The name says it all. Nestled within that charming little French-​styled alleyway in the hipper parts of Laguna Beach is this little gelato place. Hands down, the best gelato place I’ve been to so far. Imagine eating creamy gelato that taste creamier and better than ice cream yet not mushy and sour like frozen yogurt… and on a tasty, fresh-​smelling waffle cone…
The baked smell of the waffle cone is quite something. For gelato flavors, I’ve had vanilla, pistachio, and various other flavors like mango… I haven’t had a bad one yet – they’re all quite amazing. It’s a small shop and there’s always a line here, but it moves quickly. There’s not really any seating. You would order everything to-​go. It’s Laguna Beach, so parking might not be quite easy.
Certainly, one of the great places to stop by after a nice walk after dinner or just shopping by the streets of Laguna Beach.

This place was a little hard to find as it’s in a cute little building that almost made me feel magical. It’s in the back corner and it’s dark and a little small but everyone will fit.
They let you try samples and there’s a lot of workers to help you out. I got the strawberry shortcake, coconut and dark chocolate hazelnut. I love the density of the gelato and it isn’t too sweet in my opinion. This place definitely gives a lot more compared to the fashion island one which I’m glad because it is a bit pricey (but I’d do anything for ice cream heh). I heard the waffle cones are really good too, it looks like they make them right on the spot. Check in on Unilocal to get a dollar off on the waffle cones!
One of my favorite places to get gelato if you’re in the area!

Best Gelato place I’ve ever been to. They have a huge selection of some unique flavors. Only draw back is that it’s hidden away from the main shop’s, so it gets overlooked… but if you follow your nose of the smell of the freshly made waffle cones, you’ll feel like you hit the jack pot! I usually go with the pistachio. It’s so rich and creamy.
Their prices are a tad bit higher but your in a beautiful area and just for the view alone I’d pay the difference without any hesitation. The employees over the counter are all sweet and they’ll give you little samples on request. This is 1stop the family and i always look forward to coming to, when we’re in Laguna Beach.

Stopped by Laguna Beach on the way to SD and found this gelato shop. Totally not disappointed! The staff were really nice and patient, and let us sample as much as we wanted!
We ended up getting a Piccolo cone with 3 flavors — Pistachio, Chocolate and Strawberry cheesecake! I tried caffe (coffee) as well but it was too creamy for me, double chocolate was also a little too rich so I stuck with just chocolate. Their pistachio flavor is GREAT! I’m a huge pistachio ice cream/​gelato fan but most stores (even B&J) have really strange tasting or artificial looking pistachio ice cream/​gelato…
This is definitely a spot to go in Laguna Beach for yummy and affordable Gelato! Don’t forget to check in on Unilocal for $ 1 off on the cone!

OMG!
I love Gelato.
This place is tucked away inside a small market inside a building.
Conveniently located next to a public parking.
By the way the parking costs $ 6.50 for 3 hrs.
As you see in the pictures, there are so many flavors.
My gf is more into fruity flavors, while I am into plain chocolate.
She ordered STRAWBERRY CREMÉ and its creamy indeed. Strawberry flavor is ever present with the waffle cone together it’s fantastically delicious!
I ordered DOBLA CIOCOLATA or DOUBLE CHOCOLATE.
wow wow wow… It is so good! Love Love Love it!
I shall order this again & again whenever I’m in Laguna Beach!
Oh don’t forget to CHECK-​IN to get a $ 1.00 OFF on Waffle Cone orders.
If you’re in Laguna Beach, this place has got to be on your list!

Came of a Friday afternoon with my boyfriend and we both got the piccolo (small) cone. You could choose up to 3 flavors for $ 4.95, a large is also up to 3 flavors for $ 5.95. By checking in on Unilocal,you get $ 1 off a waffle cone. I got the mint and the dark chocolate hazelnut cone, and my boyfriend got the mint cone. We both got the piccolo cone, but it was more like a medium cone at a normal ice cream parlor. I enjoyed how we were able to taste the different flavors, and how much gelato they gave us. The gelato was really creamy and delicious.
I would definitely recommend people to come check this place out if they’re in the area!

Located in a quaint hidden-​away walkway known as Peppertree Lane, this gelato shop makes an incredible product at a great price.
I got two generous scoops in a medium-​sized cup for less than $ 5. One scoop was tiramisu and the other was caffe (espresso). Tiramisu was excellent but the espresso was the best gelato in the universe. I’m only slightly exaggerating. The bold flavor and creamy texture was fantastic.
There is a parking structure directly behind Peppertree Lane that provides easy access. There is no seating in the store itself but there are benches within Peppertree Lane as well as several shaded benches along the parking structure. An added bonus: just outside the entrance to the shop is a large window which you can look through and watch the gelato being created.

Really great gelato! My boyfriend recommended this place after we had dinner at Alessa Laguna. It’s a really short walk from there, but can be hard to find. We always end up walking passed it and having to turn around. It’s in a little walk way off the main street. I’ll post a picture of the entrance of the walkway.
There was an INSANE line on a Saturday night. Line almost went to the entrance of the walk way. I knew we had to come back to try it. There was no line on a Thursday night and the staff was friendly.
You can get up to four flavors in one scoop in a cup, or three flavors in a cone.
Almond: I really like almond gelato! I was excited to find this flavor here. It was sweet though.
Pistachio: Another one of my favorites! This was good here.
Chocolate chip: I’m actually not a huge fan of chocolate chip icecream, but this was delicious!
I would come back to try other flavors. Pretty cute area.
There’s no seating inside, but there are a few benches along the walkway. If there’s nowhere to sit, you can always walk to the beach.
