"This North Beach spot has a small, frequently-changing selection of gelato flavors like brown butter & chocolate honeycomb, fresh mint chip, and dulce de leche, which you can order in a pint or a scoop to-go. There are a few tables inside, or you can take your mound of frozen dairy to Washington Square Park right across the street." - patrick wong, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez

Lush Gelato in Little Italy is a must-visit if you’re in SF and craving some of the best gelato around. They offer a range of unique and interesting flavors, from classic Italian favorites to fun, inventive combinations you won’t find anywhere else. Every scoop is smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced, showcasing the quality of ingredients they use. The shop is sweet and simple, making it a charming spot for a casual date or a fun outing with kids. And if you can’t get enough, they have to-go pints available, so you can bring a bit of that deliciousness home with you. Lush Gelato is an ideal stop for anyone looking to enjoy an authentic, refreshing treat in the heart of Little Italy.

This spot offers some of the creamiest Gelato around, with truly unique flavors that will blow your mind. However, the service could be more welcoming. Despite this, I hesitate to leave a negative review because their Gelato is truly a must-try if you're in North Beach. Improving signage could make it easier for newcomers to find the place."

The gelato was yummy and was definitely worth the visit. It was a little pricey, but the overall experience was good. There aren’t many flavors, but they should all be good. The server gave us a few samples and was helpful.

Hosted a big birthday party and I knew ice cream would be a must to accompany the cake! Lush Gelato catered a big tub of Dulce de Leche which was perfectly sized! With a 2 oz scoop, we were able to around 90 scoops. Or you can do a larger 3 oz scoop for 60 scoops. The Italian style creamy texture and fresh ingredients made the ice cream the highlight of our birthday dessert. My friend said it was his favorite dish of the evening! They make it fresh so I arranged a pick up the day before the event and you can taste the freshness. So many original flavors to pick from, it was hard to just pick one!! Highly would recommend for a party or just to stop by for a scoop. A local favorite!

If you are anywhere in the Bay Area, this is worth a trip to North Beach. The mint gelato tastes like mint leaves. Small batch gelato, made on the premises. SO good.

I have bought there several times, very friendly, until Sunday, October 13, 2024, there was no chocolate-covered cone, I told the young man serving that I would wait, a lady who was preparing the cones after 8 minutes when she saw me wait, with a lascivious look, asked me in a bad tone what do you want? I thought it was racist, when she is there it is not advisable to buy

The Brown Butter Honeycomb flavor was one of the best gelatos I’ve had. The Peanut Butter Cup was also delicious. The staff working was incredible as well, very friendly and informative about the gelato! I would recommend stopping here to anyone visiting San Francisco.

I have visited and lived in North Beach. I was a customer many times and their unique flavors are astounding. I have been dog walking in the city for the last year and a half 2023-2024 and I was looking on indeed and they were hiring. Was the best decision so far since I've been back in San Francisco. The owner is great and the staff I work with are so nice. Doesn't hurt that I get free gelato.
