Nana's Ice Cream & Gelato Cafe

As an ice cream connoisseur all I can say is that I am extremely pleased with the quality of this establishment. I was able to try every flavor twice. They even opened early for some guy once. I didn’t even get any ice cream. I bought a giant gummy worm. Haven’t tried it yet? I would consider licking on their fine gelato or even a divine ice cream cone. Overall as pictured we were clearly very happy with this product.

Good gelato. Open till 11pm. Only place around. Parking is confusing but spaces are available. Six chairs to sit outside face parking lot. $7 two scoops of gelato. Waffle bowl $1.25. $8.25 for two scoops and waffle bowl. Scoops were good size. Fast service. Young friendly staff. Pistachio light flavor. Cannoli flavor initially good light also. Nutella flavor a must. Espresso more maple than espresso. Should be stronger.

Generous portions for kiddie sizes both in a cup and cone. Nice selection of gelato flavors available to pick from as well as hard ice cream. A short walk away from the water and has some chairs outside the shop to sit and enjoy your ice cream.

Not Family-Friendly – No Samples, No Exceptions We spent over $65 here with our six children (four under 12), and were shocked to find out they don’t offer samples. Two of our kids didn’t like their flavors but ate them anyway because we didn’t want to waste what we’d just paid for. When we asked, they said they stopped offering samples during Covid… but it’s 2025. A simple policy like two samples per person would be fair. This isn’t about health anymore—it’s laziness and greed. For a place that markets to families and charges premium prices, they should be more accommodating. We won’t be back.

I’ve never had gelato, and I wanted to try a flavor before buying since everything is expensive. The worker said they don’t let you try it anymore “since Covid”. Small disposable spoons don’t seem like a health hazard. I haven’t been to an ice cream store that doesn’t allow you to sample the flavors. Seems a little greedy, especially since I spent $40+.

Such a great selection and the candy store is so adorable and loaded w delicious treats...

Really cute shop in the Pier Marketplace! The cream sickle gelato was soo creamy and reminiscent of childhood and the Good Humor man; mmmm!

Unfortunately I think l maybe we were late in season. I had chocolate cookidough and it tasted freezer burn dough no taste in the ice-cream. ,maybe next time
