Love Gelato

The gelato here is lovely but inconsistent in its sweetness. The other day we had the pistachio and it was way too sweet but today it was well worked and the sweetness was just right. 3 stars.
Might come back again for a tie breaker.

One of my favourite childhood summertime memories was eating ice cream on a hot day. Not much has changed since then as we are continuing that tradition with our kids.
Located in a small side street off of Markham Main Street, Love Gelato is a great neighbourhood joint serving freshly made gelato, macaroons and other delectable sweets as well as lattes and cappuccinos.
The gelato here is delicious, fresh and delectable. My kids wolfed everything down in seconds! Some stand out flavours included Hazelnut, Banana, Chocolate and Pistachio. Service was quick, prompt and friendly.
I can definitely see ourselves coming back here often as there’s not a lot of good gelato places in Markham. Highly recommended!

The staff members at Love Gelato are always friendly. They have great gelato and excellent coffee. Prices are comparable to most Gelato cafés ($ 5 for a regular, $ 3 for kids). They allow you to split your Gelato into 2 flavours. My favourite flavours so far are Pistachio, Mint Chocolate, Chili Chocolate and Mango.

Nothing out of the ordinary but a solid find! Can’t go wrong with gelato in the summer. I tried the biscotto gelato which tasted like a light version of cookie dough flavor and the blood orange which was very tangy and not overtly sweet.

Stumbled upon this place on a late Friday evening. It was 10pm, they had already closed up shop, but the 3 teenagers inside let me and some friends come in and purchase some gelato. That’s what you call great customer service ! (They easily could have said «we’re closed»).
I personally had the Tiramisu gelato, and it was really good. Serving sizes were good and they let you mix up flavours as well.
Very satisfied with this place. Will definitely return and mention it to my other friends and family members.
Its a little hard to find, as its tucked away behind a shop. We walked right by it actually. I don’t know if they have a sidewalk sign? Maybe they do, again they had already been closed.

The name of the shop took the words right out of my mouth. The placement of Love Gelato is exactly where good gelato should be: on Main Street and they live up to it. There’s a cute «patio» area that’s secluded from the road as well. I loved how dense the gelato was. Large ($ 7) is perfect for sharing with one other person. The 3 flavours I picked were: hazelnut, mango, and frozen berry yogurt. The hazelnut totally tripped me out because it tasted so rich and so similar to peanuts. Mangos were fresh tasting. Frozen berry yogurt was great too.
Tip: If you want more of one flavour just let them know. She packed in the full cup with hazelnut in comparison to the other 2 flavours, which is exactly how I wanted it!
Cone has no extra charge

A small and cozy gelato shop with a simple décor; nothing too fancy or flashy. They have a small outdoor area with some relaxing muskoka chairs and picnic tables, so it’s a nice place to hang out on warmer days. Parking is very limited so either walk here, or park on the street. There’s a lot of shops in the area too so it’s a nice place to walk around before/​after your treat. This shop is quite hidden, almost in an alley way behind one of the many buildings on Main St. There’s a couple of signs (big, red heart) however so keep a look out for it. If you’re not familiar with the flavours, they do let you do tastings — just make sure you buy one after!
Great selection of gelato flavours. Staff are also quite friendly. If you’re a fan of pistachios like I am, come early for their pistachio gelato because they get sold out FAST. Portions are a good size, but just a bit on the pricey side. Their gelato is very smooth and creamy, nothing grainy or overly sweet, which really lets you taste the ingredients. Another must try is their hazelnut flavour which is essentially like nutella/​ferrero rocher, and their blood orange which was also very good and refreshing.
They also have a small café selection like coffee and tea, baked goods, and macarons. Definitely a nice place to hang out with a friend or two during summer days.

Must Try: Pistachio, Walnut, Strawberry Mascapone

My Experience:
Hidden away just off of Main St. Markham, beside the Barber shop house, is this quaint and cozy gelato shop.
Offering a solid line up of gelato flavours, each one packs a delicious punch. Aside from gelato, they do serve a myriad of coffee drinks as well as some cakes and pastries.
The friendly staff is more than happy to over taste samples of flavours, so you don’t have any buyers remorse on the flavours you pick. There’s kiddie side, small (one flavour), medium (two flavour, and large (three flavour) options. Pistachio was a quick favourite, the strawberry was extra creamy, and the mango had a rich mango favour.
It goes without saying, this place really makes you LOVE Gelato!

Nice cozy café/​dessert place. The server was very helpful and gave us lots of samples so that we could choose from all of the gelato flavours. Protip: get the hazelnut flavour.
There’s not much seating, but it gets the job done, as I don’t think that this place is very busy during the colder months. Regardless, this place was cozy af with nice benches around the periphery with pillows and such.
Definitely a hidden gem on Main Street Markham.

I only came here twice and BOTH experiences were amazing. Not only is their product amazing, their service is none like the other.
We were walking along main street and stumbled upon this hidden dessert place. It’s small and cozy and quite hard to get to if you don’t look closely to the sign. (But if you want to find it, you will find it!)
I was greeted by this lovely girl who asked me if it was my first time there. I said «yes, we actually stumbled upon you guys. It seems nice in here and you have a lot of selection of gelato» she said they got it from a supplier who made it from Italy. Sounds legit!
I got to taste every single gelato flavor there was… by that time, I was convinced that every flavor was absolutely delicious and I wanted to have all of them. Then I’d go broke. So I tried only 3 flavors that day: Pistachio, Coconut, and Noccioti? (the hazelnut one. I forgot the name)
I also got their Nutella Hot Chocolate and their espresso (small because I like the taste of the bitterness). So good!!! I can’t wait to go back soon! What an amazing place to be all year round!

You don’t have to travel to Italy to have the best gelato! I had the pleasure of visiting Italy many times, tasting so many different flavours of gelato. Then I visited Love Gelato and found that I could visit this fantastic place anytime I want right here in the GTA to get my fix of pistachio gelato. (my favourite flavour) it’s so smooth, creamy and delicious.
I highly recommend it!
The owners are awesome, friendly people that will go out of their way to make sure you are happy!

Came here after dinner… was quite surprised as this cozy little shop is hidden in the back of a store. Love Gelato is located off the busy Main St. tucked into the back, which makes it nice and quiet.
I ordered a small hazelnut gelato ($ 5) and it was delicious, tasted like a Ferrero rocher; super creamy and not overly sweet! Was slightly disappointed they were out of pistachio as that would have been my flavor of choice.
I will definitely come back here in the summer as they have a few muskoka chairs outside; perfect place to grab coffee and dessert after dinner.

I should have written this review a while back.
Visit the store again in June since I was in the neighborhood. The owner was generous enough to offer us gelato on the house. He then went on to explain the reasoning behind my experience and shared his story as a business owner.
I am happy to report that the gelato is delicious, velvety, and smooth! The owner was kind! They now weight the gelato to ensure consistency! Needless to say, «I will be back» (in my Asian Arnold Schwarzenegger accent)!

Love Gelato is a tiny little place located on the side of Main Street Markham. They offer a variety of flavours for the gelato, coffee, and a small selection of pastries.
We tried several flavours (Strawberries and Cream, Blood Orange and Lemoncello) of the gelato and they were all really good. The texture was really smooth and all of them were not too sweet.
The prices are a little on the higher end relative to the small portions served. Overall, it’s a nice place to grab something cold and sweet during the summer. If you’re in the area, give it a try! I’m definitely going back.

So… who knew we have this place so close to home! This place is actually hidden, so if you are not looking for it, you prob will not find it. This was recommended by a friend and we came just right before they were closing. They were so kind to serve us after their closing hours (it was a huge group of us too!) They even waited for us to finish our gelato before closing the shop.
I was surprised by how good the gelato was! I also got 1 macaron (yummmmm!) but of course not as good as the montreal ones… nothing can beat that. But the macaron was still pretty good.
They have many flavors you can choose from — so you can always keep coming back here to try different favors!

Our big group of Unilocal friends came here for a quick dessert after having a less than satisfying meal at a place down the street. We were walking (some running) here because we wanted to catch some gelato before it closed.
Need to note that I almost fell on my face 4 times walking to here because of all the rubble on the floor that you can’t see when it’s dark. This place REALLY is a hidden gem. so hidden that I would’ve never found it if it wasn’t for Cherrie T’s leadership (since she had gelato already before dinner). The place is tucked away in a corner and definitely not in view of the main street. The place itself is pretty small and the washroom is absolutely tiny. However, it’s very homey and I like it a lot. The gelato was AMAZING. I got a small (which includes 2 scoops of flavours) in a cone and it was A LOT. Yummy, creamy, smooth and not too heavy– exactly what I look for in a dessert.
The staff there were sweet as honey and didn’t get frustrated accommodating our large group of 10+ and a few more other people even though they were going to close soon. They even took down the chairs they put up to close for the night so we can stay a bit past their closing time to enjoy our gelato. We really appreciated that!
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would come back.

Came here with a large group of other Unilocalers the other night, after some of us had a dessert craving after dinner (ME). This place is kind of hidden in an alley off of Main Street, but it’s there if you look closely.
We kind of took over the entire joint, since the place is on the smaller side with just a few small tables. Good for couples, but less comfortable for groups of 10 or more — we made due though, since we didn’t really mind blocking the entrance way haha.
They didn’t have the largest selection of gelato I’ve seen, but had a decent amount of choices. The large size went for $ 7, and allowed a choice of 3 flavours. I went with hazelnut (or «nocciola» as the more well-​traveled Teresa C informed me), mint chocolate, and coffee. While I didn’t quite enjoy the coffee flavour, the hazelnut and mint chocolate were about as good as I’ve had elsewhere. The serving size could be a bit bigger.
I would come back if in the area, especially since there doesn’t appear to be too much dessert competition nearby.

Really liked it here last night. I’m not a big dessert person, but I don’t think I would mind making this small and cozy place a regular for me. The place was really hidden, so if you’re not the type to pay attention as you drive you will most likely miss it. We ventured here upon Cherrie T’s (improvised) request after the UYE :) It was so sketch at first because it was at the side of the building, but that didn’t stop us from rushing the place!
I really enjoyed the atmosphere as it was small but lit up sufficiently — not too bright but just right in terms of dimness. The two ladies that served us were funny and courteous, which was a +! The selection of gelato was pretty large, but I have seen bigger elsewhere. Still, sometimes it’s not just about quantity. I can assure you the quality was perfect, especially the mint coco chips and chocolate. They were superbly made, sooooo smooth and tasty! :) I was too busy chowing down I forgot to take pics!
The deductions came from space — it was very small and had 6 tables inside and 2 – 3 outside. If it wasn’t wet outside, we would have done outdoor seating instead. Still, I don’t usually do 4 stars for dessert places, so it’s saying a lot.
Good job, ladies! I’ll keep coming back as long as the quality remains the same :)

I love the location — it’s in between a set of buildings on Markham Main Street (east side) so you won’t find its storefront facing the street. It’ll be a bit of a find if it’s your first time going but it’s worth it. The location is nice, quiet and inviting. The doors were open up to their patio so it was an easy step-​in and step out sort of flow. It’s a small shop which would probably seat around 15 – 20, more or less but main street is always a lovely stroll so why not takeout?
My friend and I ordered the torrone segni flavour of gelato — it’s a subtle hazelnut nougat flavour. And we also ordered the vanilla bean flavour which was our favourite. And a caramel round bite which was oh soooo gooood. The gelato was great — the price is a bit higher than I would have expected for the size (two mini scoops for $ 5) but nonetheless, quality is here.
I definitely recommend this gelato place — the environment is cute, the service is friendly, and the gelato is yummy!

I came across love gelato on Unilocal and finally got my family to try it with me. It’s in a building on Markham north of hwy 7. The shop does not face the street but there’s a sign — so keep your eyes peeled.
The server was very friendly and patient. Generous servings of gelato. We also tried the Nutella latte and tiramisu. The flavours were pretty good — from the 6 flavours we tried. It’s cute and quaint. Seating area to enjoy your gelato or hot/​cold beverages!
With the construction of Markham road coming to an end We can finally drive down the road without annoyance. And importantly it’s open till 10pm on weeknights
