Great local Gelato place. Love their seasonal flavors. They use all local ingredients and grass fed milk. Ill be back soon for more. I wish they had other options for refined sugar, like maple syrup instead. May be soon...

Delicious gelato and great drinks in a cute space! Had the super creative seasonal “monster mash” — pistachio and cherry. So good!

This isnt ice cream. This is someones locally sourced, Italian-accented dream of ice cream. Goat cheese and raspberry. Honey-lavender. Deep, deep chocolate. I want to live here. I want to die here. There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life. Fellini, who might have been talking about Gemelli.

I know I say this a lot but... Its amazing. I like this better than the other place thats a couple blocks away. My fiance LOVES the honey lavender gelato. Im partial to anything Nutella flavored, so they had me covered there.

Hubby and I have spent the last couple of weekends road-tripping in West Chester PA with our golden retriever and we absolutely fell in love with the small town charm. After a long day of hiking in French Creek State Park we decided to stop by for a gelato before heading back to our hotel to rest before dinner. After taking a few minutes to peruse all the different flavors I went with a small gelato with 2 different flavors - Ricotta, Poached Pears & Chocolate Shavings on top and Goat Cheese with Raspberry Jam on the bottom. Both flavors were absolutely delicious, so rich and you could taste how fresh all the fruits and cheeses were. Hubby doesnt usually like ricotta so I waited until after he had a few bites and seemed to enjoy it that I told him what the flavor was. The prices were a bit more than you would expect to find for a frozen dessert but trust me, well worth it (I rarely finish any ice cream but with this gelato I was licking the cup). Looking forward to coming back to try some new flavors in a few weeks.

I love this place. The vegan gelato is amazing! And they always have at least a few flavors. Coffee is bomb too.

One employee (green hair) seemed annoyed with my husband and I. Not sure why. The other employee (dark hair, black mask) was super sweet and polite to us- even gave us help with shops nearby! The chocolate vegan gelato milkshake was delicious. But please, for the love of all things holy, get rid of the paper straws! It was impossible to drink and it was very frustrating. If you care so much about the ocean and animals, stop eating fish. But give me a darn straw that works!

This place is a gem. Affogatos were excellent. Great flavors. Friendly staff. LaColombe coffee. James Beard best gelato in North America. Who would’ve guessed that would be in West Chester. Great surprise find on a chilly Sunday afternoon. Definitely will return.

Amazing array of flavors. I had the basil and olive oil: I should say this is out of the world. If you are looking for something simple and classy this is it. And the chocolate is how chocolate should be.

Gemelli is hands-down the best gelato in West Chester. My husband and I have been loyal customers for years and since moving from the area, will still drive 30+ minutes to grab some organic, fresh gelato when we get a hankering. They have a points rewards system, which is amazing if you go frequently. The best thing is that they ALWAYS have MULTIPLE vegan flavors. Not just one sorbet. But real gelato made with plants and that is the bees knees. Thank you for being so responsive to the changing needs of your customers, Gemelli! We love you!

This gelato place is amazing in every way. From the delicious flavors of all of the extensive dessert menu to cozy modern atmosphere. The owners are incredibly friendly too - we had the pleasure of meeting them when they first opened and on a few other occasions. Now its our tradition to stop by for a treat every time we are in West Chester (which is...quite often )

Service is great, the atmosphere is super cute, and THE GELATO IS AMAZING! The Nutella gelato is absolutely amazing! Every time I pass this spot on my walk home, I can’t resist and have to get some Nutella gelato. Although the Nutella flavor is my favorite (it has chunks of Nutella in it), I’ve tried the cannoli, mint chocolate chip, and others - needless to say, they’re all amazing! Grateful to live so close to this deliciousness.

You really cant go wrong with gelato in West Chester. Tonight at Gemelli I tried two flavors; blackberry and mascarpone-nutella. Everything had a great made from scratch flavor. The blackberry tasted like fresh fruit and the distinctive mascarpone flavor came through as well. I really enjoyed it and Ill certainly be coming back. This place is a treat!

I have been to Gemelli several times as its one of our favorite places in West Chester Borough! Tonight, I had a waffle cone filled with their always-delicious gelato (ricotta & fig/mascarpone & nutella were this evenings picks). I dont know why I tried it, because I dont normally prefer waffle cones...but theirs was perfection! Lightly sweet and not too thick. Loved it.

Best Gelato Ive ever had and I found out why, they actually use REAL ingredients in everything, no artificial flavors. It makes for such a smoother tasting and textured Gelato. Plus their hot chocolate affrogato is one of the most amazing drinks Ive ever had. I come from an hour away to visit this place.

The best Gelato in West Chester! The flavor combinations, consistency and the fact that everything is made fresh from organic or farm-sourced ingredients only proves that delicious food doesnt have to be extremely expensive. Im not saying its cheap, but the occasional visit is worth every penny.

Goat cheese in gelato? Who would have thought, its incredible! Their flavors change so it may not always be there but everything is good so no worries there.

By far the best Gelato I have ever had! Staff is amazing! My sons love that they can ask to sample some flavors (even if my youngest only ever gets vanilla). Even after they order and finish eating the staff will still give them a sample! The owners are amazing people! I cannot say enough good things about them! One day we are going to do the even where we can make our own gelato! Try the raspberry goat cheese gelato and thank me later!

I love the vegan chocolate peanutbutter. The staff is always friendly here. My wife and I stopped here after out wedding ceremony to get some gelato and the staff was kind enough to allow our photographer to take some candid and staged pictures in the store. I recently got a gelato cake from them for my birthday and it was delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a sweet treat in West Chester

I absolutely loved this place. Its a little pricey, but the gelato was fantastic! They had a good selection to choose from, but I tried 4 samples and could have eaten a full serving of each. They also have a nice area to sit inside with air conditioning, and clean restrooms. Theres even a window in the back to see them making gelato.

AMAZING!!!! If you want an awesome cool treat, this is the place to go. I have been there several times with my family and LOVE it every time. Each time I have been there, late night or mid day, the shop owner is alway there. It is great to see a small business doing well. GO there NOW!!! Really, I mean right NOW.

Awesome taste and I simply loved the Italian espresso and cookies & cream flavors.My wife and my daughters loved the place and I especially liked the interior design. This place has a nice ambience and the owner of this place was very social explaining the ingredients and some of the recipes.In the day and age of all processed chemical crap that is out there, the gelatos here are made with organic ingredients which I love the most!I would suggest that they start making more bakery items such as organic cakes and bread etc.Thanks a lot for providing an opportunity to taste authentic organic gelato. I will definitely be coming again!

I dont know much about Gelato but I felt like walking down (from Rai Rai) to try some. Black Forest with chocolate & cherry was great. I had them put real vanilla in the same bowl. Not as impressed with vanilla but it was good too. Will go back if I return to West Chester.I just googled the difference between ordinary ice cream vs gelato. Very science of taste and texture. Similar ingredients but different.

Gemellis continues to amaze me the more I stop in here. They make some of the BEST chocolate gelato around and their coffee isnt bad for a pick me up either. The establishment in general is well maintained, clean, and they also provide good customer service too. Youve made one happy customer!

Review №98

Some of the best gelato Ive had, with an array of other house made dessert choices. The flourless chocolate torte was scrumptious! Very friendly and helpful staff, and a clean, comfortable, and open interior.Unlike many dessert shops, there is plenty of seating here. There are even comfortable chairs in the back, for lounging with your dessert and coffee.I fell in love with the Belgian cookie gelato. The staff, however, will indulge your wish to try any of the other flavors. Dont miss the Apple Pie, or Strattiacelli.
