Pazzo Gelato

Had a mixed cup of the coffee and the Ecuadoran chocolate. The coffee was a nice mix of different flavors and the chocolate was heavenly, so creamy. It was great.

BEST GELATO IN SILVER LAKE!! Gelato - 5 Service - 5 Ambiance - 4.5 Coffee - 5 Price-to-quality ratio - 5 Pazzo Gelato in Silver Lake is a must-visit spot if you’re into a stellar affogato experience. You know how an affogato needs two equally important ingredients? Pazzo nails it by serving up delicious gelato alongside outstanding coffee. And speaking of coffee, they’re proud to serve local LA Tectonic beans—no compromises there. The rich, bold flavors from the expertly roasted beans perfectly complement the smooth, creamy gelato, creating a harmonious blend that’s sure to impress any affogato lover. While parking in Silver Lake can be a bit chaotic, don’t let that deter you (tip: they offer rear parking, keep that in mind). The experience inside makes up for any hassle on the street. The vibe is relaxed and friendly, and you can really tell that a lot of care goes into both the product and the atmosphere. Overall, Pazzo Gelato delivers a top-notch treat that you shouldn’t miss if you’re in the neighborhood. Enjoy!

We came here for late sweet treats and ordered two scoops of Ube, Dark Chocolate and Chocolate The guy who assisted was very friendly and attentive. We thought the gelato's flavor was good, though it could be really sweet for our palate. Overall, we’re satisfied with the flavors we ordered.

Best gelato in Los Angeles! So many vegan and sorbet options, so many seasonal flavors, long working hours, friendliest staff ever. Love this place I’ve only ever had ice cream, but they do coffee with ice cream, teas and pastries etc which all look pretty good. There’s some parking in the back.

You just can't go wrong with a place that has a sign that says that all sorts of people are welcome. Especially in these divisive times. Let's hope love prevails! Moving on, service is pretty good. You'd expect it if the business establishes itself as a safe space for everyone. You'd also expect seeing vegan options here and guess what? They deliver! I had a medium matcha oreo gelato. They give you a ton of gelato. So good! The matcha is truly flavorful and goes extremely well with the Oreo bits. Total bliss! The store has tons of cool little details if you look around. A sign advertising 50 cent doggie treats. All the options they have. All so colorful. The ambiance is great! There's a bunch of tables outside where you get great people watching! There are a few tables inside if you don't mind enduring the cruddy music they were playing tonight. Perfection is impossible. There's a medium sized parking lot in the rear and meter parking nearby as well. The lot is usually full.

My boyfriend swore to me this was the best Gelato in Los Angeles... he was not lying. This Gelato was delicious and the coffee was superb. Coffee was a bit strong at first, but the barista gladly watered it down for me to enjoy. I had a really enjoyable time sitting here eating my snacks.

The staff here was super sweet and friendly, helped us with tasting a couple of flavours before we locked in. They had so many flavours that it was quite difficult to choose just one, but we eventually did! The gelato was really great!!

I first tried real gelato during my summer trip to Italy back in 2023, so my expectations were kinda high. A friend told me this place was the closest thing in LA, so I gave it a shot. I ordered pistachio and Stracciatella, both flavors were super creamy and not overly sweet, just like I remembered from Florence. tbh, the texture was pretty close to the real deal and I was really happy about that. My only small complain is the portion size, it felt a bit small for the price. But other than that, I really enjoyed it

Pazzo Gelato is one of those rare spots that feels like it's part of the neighborhood, not just in it. The gelato is consistently incredible, with creative flavors, perfect texture, and always something new to try alongside the classics. It's clear they care about what they make and who they serve. The vibe here is warm, progressive, and community minded. It's the kind of place where everyone feels welcome and you can tell the people behind the counter actually enjoy being there. They're friendly without being fake, which is refreshing. And if Oscar's on bar, definitely grab a coffee. He has the magic touch. Places like this make Silver Lake what it is. Highly recommend.

I love coming here for gelato! The staff is so friendly & helpful. Pazzo always rotates the flavors which I love & they base some flavors on what is seasonal. There's plenty of variety- something for everyone. Parking- small lot behind the store

BEST GELATO IN TOWN! Light and creamy! Always flavorful! Best part is, they change the flavor (like every 4 days - I follow them on Ig)! Always creative and delicious. I definitely get gelato to eat in store and take a couple pints to go! The service is ALWAYS amazing! Oscar is wonderful :) Cute little shop with parking in the back! Yes I always make special trips to get gelato and YES I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE!

The gelato tastes really good! I had the orange chocolate; it's full of flavor and love it very much! Service is great and staff patiently letting us try different one!

I'll start off by saying that I'm not a huge fan of ice cream, and I'm pretty picky with it. But this place has excellent quality gelato. The toasted marshmallow is a rare concoction, labor intensive effort for them to make -- but it is quite possibly the best flavor of any dessert I've had! The texture is perfect. Creamy, luscious, and tastes EXACTLY like the burnt inside of a marshmallow in a smore (b/c they actually burn a ton of marshmallow in an arduous process--check their instagram!). So if you can catch that flavor on sale, get it! The ube mochi gelato is also quite good. In my Filipino pov, it tastes authentically like ube! And the bits of mochi are a nice textural and flavorful surprise. Service is excellent. Good local ice cream shop vibes all around. Can't wait to try their lattes, of which there are many flavors.

Vegan gelato??? Are you for real?! This was not only the best vegan gelato I've ever had but maaaybe the best gelato I've had outside of Italy. So creamy, flavorful, and just perfect. I got the chocolate orange and the consistency was amazing. The guava sorbetto was a different consistency from the gelato, definitely more gummy than creamy, but still so good too. Also the person who scooped our gelato was so generous giving us samples, and he gave us a huge portion for a small cup. The best!

Banger Gelato/ice cream spot. I loved the unique flavors, the cashier serving us was gracious enough to let us try a bunch of flavors, and although there is limited seating inside, the outdoor seats are a vibe. I opted for the Ube Mochi flavor and the pistachio. The ube was very flavorful, and I did enjoy the mochi bits. For mochi being in a cold dessert, it was surprisingly still really soft! classic flavor, but I've never seen it be done gelato style so this was good! The pistachio is classic and it was just so delicious. Pistachio can be hit or miss for me but this place is definitely a hit. I'll for sure be back!

Staff were very friendly and kind to offer samples. They have a variety of gelato to choose from. I ordered a two scoop on a sugar cone with lemon sorbet and strawberry sorbet. Both flavors were delicious. I definitely recommend.

The best Gelato spot in the World. This location in particular from the tastes to the location are paramount.

This local mom&pop gelato place has a fierce, almost cult following among locals and regulars. In fact, it is so fire that its fans are almost apoplectic on the subject of its superiority. To? Well, a few chains nearby, for example. I read one review on that site that sounded as if the writer was literally in tears about the comparison. In short? It is felt there is only contrast, no comp. What did we experience? Well, we stumbled on it without realizing what it was when looking for a coffee spot to grab a latte after frequenting, you guessed it, a rival icecreameria steps away (one that I love, btw). Pazzo has a deep bench of flavors, changing them regularly. I spied the Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake and pounced on it. The other people in the group had the Rose Pistachio and the Chocolate Peanut butter. Yum-o! As Rachel Ray would say. It was all delicious. A single scoop is really two, and two are three, etc. The double "single" scoop was so generous and rich that it was all I could manage, although I tasted the other two flavors. Rich and delicious but light and not as heavy-cream laden as some ice creams. I like both types, but make no mistake, this gelato is more Italian, delicate and satisfying. The place is spotless, there are seats inside and out, but be prepared to wait on line. Even on a weird late but not popular time slot on a weekend, there was a file out the door. One of our group made a second round and waited a good 15 minutes. The coffee is heavenly. I had a Lavender Latte the first time I went and my friend had a Chai Latte -- whatever coffee and method they are using, it's magic. Now I have Pazzo to visit in Silverlake, another attraction to a part of LA that I am drawn to regularly. Mike was our server and he was simply adorable. Thanks Mike!

I ordered a chocolate milkshake, which was delicious. The host offered samples before the final order which was helpful. The flavors were all new and tasted yummy. They have vegan options as well.

Hands down my number one gelato spot in LA, so I'm really glad they're going to be sticking around. Their flavors are small batch and seasonal, with menu updates frequently on their IG. There's a little parking lot behind the building too, which is super convenient. They've got GF and vegan options as well and you can get pints & quarts to go. Banana dulce de leche is probably one of my favorite flavors there. The staff is always super helpful and friendly, and it's a family owned shop, really giving it the authentic neighborhood vibe. Definite 10/10

We were walking by and were attracted to the crowd of happy customers dining here. In the mood for dessert we stopped in. The server was super friendly offering us samples of their bast choices of gelato. So hard to make a choice - but I did. Their hot and cold drinks are very good. But this all goes back to the high level of service. We were greeted and thanked and that says they appreciated our business and hope we return.

Good gelato with a nice variety of flavors. It looks like there's lots of variety on the drinks menu as well. Parking is a biiiiiiatch so I don't know if I would ever come here specifically for their gelato. Like it's good but not look-for-parking good, but if I'm in the area, I might drop by.

Delicious gelato! I really enjoyed the vegan coconut gelato. Pricy but well worth it. Check them out!

I came here with my mom and little sister after dinner for dessert. I had pistachio ice cream and stratchi something (vanilla sort of flavor) they were very generous with the samples before our order. I really like this place and can't wait to stop by again.

I love this place but they need to bring back the lemon cookie flavor! I had it last year and they haven't had it since. I ask for it every time. The owner needs to get it back in the mix asap!

We had heard an interview with the owner about a chain opening up two doors down from them...and how lovely and loyal the neighborhood was. So, I figured we should come and show some Valley support as well and we had a great time! First, there's easy parking, which is a shocker for this area, big lot behind the store. The gal working there was super friendly, I got a combo chocolate and berry and he got lemon and vanilla. Plus they had these big linzer cookies that I couldn't resist. They've got a nice sidewalk seating area where you can people watch and pretend your in Italy. Gelato was delicious, so was the cookie. Will be back!

My favorite spot for ice cream! I always get their pistachio. Seems like it's one of their most popular flavor since they're almost always out of it by the time I go late at night. They have lots of interesting flavors such as ube, Thai tea. Vegan options available as well! They are generous with samples, so don't be shy before making your final decision what to get. Very limited seating inside and few tables outside, but I never had trouble managing a spot to sit at.

Officially joining the cult following of Pazzo Gelato! They have so many flavors that rotate daily, and the staff are always super helpful and willing to take you through describing and sampling all of the new flavors. The creaminess and flavor of the gelato is unparalleled, and they're sure to have something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed the raspberry crisp and ube mochi gelato flavors. They have their own parking lot in the back, and lots of beautiful outdoor seating to enjoy your ice cream.

The good: I got the guava, blood orange, mascarpone orange fudge and coffee gelato. The mascarpone orange fudge was my favorite because it was unique and very much up my alley in terms of flavors. The fudge inside was chewy and rich. There's seating inside and outside. The area is trendy and cutely decorated. There's wall art and cute cactus plants on each table. Gelato is definitely one of my favorite two desserts! They have vegan options. Their flavors change and rotate. The bad: The guava and blood orange gelato were too sweet for me. Each cup with 2 flavors was over $7. It was hard to find street parking. We ended up parking in a nearby parking lot in a 15 minute parking spot. The interesting: They're opening a Salt and Straw ice cream spot next door. This place has been around for 17 years.

Yum Yum Yum. A fantastic way to be out in a fun environment with that gals. Service was fast and very enjoyable.

Good gelato with many flavors to choose from! Stopped by after a dinner nearby and it was super easy since there was parking in the back! I sampled a few flavors and they were good, but the Peruvian chocolate was the best imo. It was super creamy compared to the others and had a great chocolate flavor, but not too overpowering. The staff member who helped us out was super kind and let us try multiple flavors. 4 stars since I've had better gelato, but would recommend!

Had the pleasure of trying the mango and sea salt caramel at a work event. Both were delicious! The sea salt caramel was not too sweet which I appreciate. The mango tasted fresh & fruity not artificial.

This place is excellent! Best gelato I've ever had! Warm, friendly staff! Incredible flavors! Nice community/small town vibe. Highly recommend! Waaay better than salt and straw and few doors down!!!

Wow. Pazzo is bussin. One of the best affogatos I've ever had, comparable to the one I had in Italy. Excellent service, the staff was so friendly and helpful! 10/10 would recommend to a friend! Blessed be Pazzo‍

Get the strawberry sorbet and or the vanilla malt chip as those two were the yummiest of the bunch in my opinion. I've been here many times in the past and the menu changes a bit so try it all before you choose. Creamy and rich is what I call a good ice cream. Service was food as the scooper was attentive and gave us a good serving of ice cream. The ambiance was small with indoor and outdoor seating in the upbeat social hangout. I always like walking here after a good meal to finish the night off with this goodness in my tummy.

Best Gelato in LA!!! You can't beat their flavors. All so delicious. My favorite is Stracciatella (Vanilla with crispy ribbons of chocolate).

This place is so good! I originally came because I saw they offered affagato and I was craving it. So I decided to come and give it a try! I ended up grabbing the lemon and raspberry sorbet as well and it was the perfect treat for a hot summer evening. This place stays open pretty late so it was perfect before movie night! I would definitely give this place a try!

Another gelato shop I wanted to try was temporarily closed so I ended up finding Pazzo Gelato on Yelp and decided to give it a try on Saturday night. I had many ice cream options within the vicinity but I specifically wanted to get gelato so I didn't mind the driving here. One thing I really liked about this place that they have small parking lot in the rear! Parking in Silver Lake is so difficult so this was a big plus for me! I sampled a few different flavors before deciding and I ended up choosing Ube Mochi and Hazelnut. Hazelnut was surprisingly really delectable. It wasn't too sweet but it had really great hazelnut flavor kind of like Ferrero Rocher. Ube was also quite pleasing but I didn't really like the mochi in there. I didn't know it had mochi but I believe their Green Tea had mochi too. My friend got Greek Yogurt and some other berry flavor which I cannot recall. I thought Greek Yogurt was simple yet classic. The two guys working there were both patient and cordial. I will undoubtedly be stopping here when I am dining nearby in Silver Lake.

Been coming here for years and especially want to support this small business over corporate salt and straw nearby. But today I went in with my 8 year old son to get some gelato. The man behind the counter was making coffees and talking with a customer who was obviously his friend. He did not acknowledge us in the slightest. Several minutes went by, talking talking taking, didn't look over a single time. Not even a simple "hey guys just gimme a sec and I'll be right with you." I rarely write reviews and I try not to complain because I know how hard customer service can be. But this guy was atrocious. We went to salt and straw. What an ass.

Definitely a must try!!! It's very fresh delicious gelato , the service is amazing and the ambience is very welcoming !! All the flavors are amazing

We've been going here since it opened and it was one of the first really great gourmet ice cream places in the area before all the others popped up. Not only are the flavors really good especially the fruit but the espresso is fantastic my go to for gelato in LA.

Great service and fantastic gelato. I am usually a chocolate person but I tried an affogato for the first time and it was amazing. I also sampled a few other flavors and ordered raspberry sorbet and lemon sorbet. Everything was 5 star. There is seating, so this is a good spot for a quick ice cream date.

Pricey but to their credit they're the only gelato shop in the area and I'm from Atwater. Very creamy and freshly made as the gelato that melts so quickly you can't help but lick it until it's vanished in a flash!!! They have vegan and sorbetto options as well. They are also next to a fresh pressed juicer so you can sin here and balance it out with a green juice hahaha The shop is walkable if you live in silverlake but there is plenty of street parking on the adjacent street so you have no excuse to come by and enjoy.

The best Gelato ever! Vegan options and the flavors change periodically, The servers are friendly and will give free samples. The shop itself is small but there is seating inside and outside with heaters. Unfortunately the landlord recently moved in a Salt and Straw to the same building but this place is 10000% better. The vegan raspberry chocolate chunk is completely addictive.

I gotta confess something shocking: I'm an Angeleno who just now discovered the magic of Pazzo Gelato. Where have I been?! Pazzo Gelato stole my heart (and taste buds). Their scoops are creamy magic made with love. I sampled a few (okay, maybe more than a few) and each one was a delight. Support local, skip the hype next door, and dive into Pazzo's gelato bliss!

EXCELLENT GELATO & CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! FIrst time coming and will be back for more! Got to try a lot of the gelatos with samples and they're all stellar / unique. Thank you Pazzo Gelato!

Came for dessert after din in Silverlake and it was the perfect way to end the night! I'm usually not a huge gelato person but WOW Pazzo Gelato is sooo delicious. They have so many fun flavors - thai tea, ube mochi, banana pudding. I got kids scoop with half coffee chip & cookies n cream (so happy they offer a half half). I'll def be back to try the other flavors!

Big vibe. Great flavors and amazing staff. Always so friendly. Really yummy locally sourced ingredients (:

Great selection of gelato! There are some outdoor and indoor seatings, the guy at the store is also very nice and let us try so many flavours without rushing us to decide! Amazing

Best place for gelato in Los Angeles, hands down. There is no debate here. Also ice cream and gelato are two totally different things.

hands down the best gelato in LA period established 2006 owner Michael Buch providing 18 years of quality service in silver lake & a caring staff!

Treat yourself to delicious ice cream (Pazzo Gelato) and delicious coffee(Kuitu coffee). Customer service here is top notch.

Super rich super creamy gelato They have the best Really friendly stuff with warm smile on their face Has tons of patience Will come back Try the coffee flavor Not that sweet which is really good

GO HERE... IMMEDIATELY. Um... so this place is fantastic. Cool staff who greets you with a genuine smile as soon as you walk in and GELATOOOOO! Okay, so they have a ton of options for both vegans and non-vegans. It all tastes great and there's no way you would know some of them are vegan. Our Order: Mine - Ube Mochi & Chocolate Hazelnut - I rate this a 25293529/10. My Wife - Ube Mochi & Birthday Cake - I rate this a 22932323/10... yeah, so she let me eat some of hers lol. I don't usually geek out for Yelp reviews but this spot is so worthy. My favorites were the Birthday Cake and Chocolate Hazelnut but the Ube was also bomb! Tips: - Small parking lot in the back - Entrance is on the street side - Plenty of tables outside

i used to frequent ur store i will stop for. a visit soon i like icy stuff that is not harmfull to nothing ‍

Best gelato I've tried! The flavors were fresh not artificial. I liked it better than Salt and Straw.

Some of the best gelato I've had! I really appreciate that the employee was very patient with us as we tried multiple flavors - we did come at night though when there was only one couple behind us in line. They have a lot of unique flavors that rotate which is what attracted us in the first place. All the flavors we tried were great and tasted strongly! We tried the lychee sorbetto, guava passion fruit sorbetto, ube mochi, and extra dark chocolate. We decided on the extra dark chocolate in a single scoop cup for $5.75 without tax and tip. It was a generous single scoop to share between us two! The gelato is so rich and so creamy but somehow light - I didn't feel weighed down after! There was some seating inside and out which was comfy to hangout for a bit, but no public bathrooms just fyi!
