Super lovely spot and it's open till late?? Score! I can't believe I haven't been here before, but I've drove past it several times with my dad. I came today and it was a great meet up spot for a big group. We hung out upstairs at the top level. It's super spacious and there's many tables available. I love the number of windows here too, a very nice breeze and lighting. The bathroom was located here as well-- the bathroom has quite the character...and view. Downstairs is where you order, they have small seating inside near the gelato area. And then they have more seating outside in the front of the shop. It's super cute. The prices for the drinks are really nice, great pricing esp for 2025! They even have gelato and sorbetto which looked amazing (but not for breakfast). I got their $5.75 Iced Caramel Macchiato, I believe I got their 12oz! I like getting 12oz for lattes and such because I think it's the perfect amount of espresso to milk ratio (plus sweetener) This one was pretty tasty and stayed cold throughout. The straw was interesting though because it reminded me of in n out or McDonald's. In the evening, I sampled about 3- I felt greedy so I didn't ask again. Although the woman gave me generous sample sizes. I tried their vegan raspberry sorbet, but it was too sweet and thick. It reminded me of açaí. The Tahitian vanilla looked promising but it was a thick consistency with some icy bits and you needed to chew it a bit-- if you know what I mean. The flavor was ok. I ordered a Small Cup, Two Flavors, $5.55 (Coconut sorbetto-- this is vegan & chocolate hazelnut gelato-- not vegan). The consistency of these two were smooth. The coconut was full bodied and rich in flavor. The chocolate hazelnut had a great hazelnut taste with a milk chocolatey taste. They barely melted in my cup which is great. (In the morning) The woman who took my order was so friendly and sweet, I love her vibe. The guy was pretty nice as well. Overall, the workers had great attitude. I'd recommend this spot! Price and quality is great. You won't regret stopping by.

Ive been coming here since 91 & wow so much history. Ive always heard great music at the counter. Apparently they have a dj spinning every Sat 6-8pm as the sun goes down upstairs from the coffee shop counter. Its a perfect place to relax, meet friends & pay tribute to another beautiful sunset in San Diego.

The gelato was AMAZING. Highly recommend the pistachio or chocolate hazelnut. The place was really cute and cozy.

Love getting affogato here . You won't regret it The have a variety of goodies and gelatos here Sit down area and pretty fast service

Love love love the vibes of this place. Cute local spot. I like that they have a second floor to sit outdoors. The service was very friendly. Love that you can choose to flavors for the small - I got the pistachio and spumoni. The spumoni was the better of the two flavors. I was disappointed however that they did not have stracciatella that night because it is such an iconic gelato flavor.

This is a local favorite spot for espresso and gelato and I agree!!! The Tahitian vanilla gelato blew my tastebuds away! So worth the price! Their sorbets taste like fresh fruit!! It is very small and parking is limited but be patient as it is worth it!! Yum! The staff is very friendly and quick and the location is charming.

Gelato Vera Caffe is my neighborhood coffee spot. The staff is always pleasant & the coffee is delicious. I've tried many of their bakery items & none have disappointed! The carrot cake, baklava, and bagels are all delicious :) I like to bring friends when they visit to grab an after dinner gelato on the way home - they have a wide assortment of flavors & the gelato is always incredible - takes me right back to Italy! There is a small indoor seating section & additional seating upstairs. It's a quiet yet busy cafe & perfect for getting work done or studying or chatting with a friend. There is also outdoor patio seating, as well. This whole street is quite cute with restaurants.

Gelato blends are incredibly made. Tried the strawberry, spumoni, pumpkin spice and dark chocolate. Every flavor was spectacular. Super rich, creamy texture. Real fruits added in. Price to scoops is fairly cheap. We got affogatos given with two huge scoops of gelato each. Expresso is very bitter but wasn't bad. Service was extremely kind and welcoming. Super small corner store we stumbled upon at random but who knew they were San Diego's voted best gelato shop

Mmmm, this was just what I needed, coffee, food and friendly service. two brothers own this coffee and gelato place in mid-town San Diego. The coffee is sourced from a local company which makes it that much better for me. i ordered the lemon ginger scone, yummy! the location is easy to get to, the ambiance is simple with 5 small tables to enjoy your treats, with large windows so you don't feel trapped in.

Gelato Vero Caffe is a cafe in the Mission Hills area that specializes in a variety of beverages (mainly coffee), and desserts (gelato being their calling card obviously). As I stated in a my previous review a million years ago, Gelato Vero Caffe is by far my favorite gelato shop and cafe in all of San Diego. Ambiance: Gelato Vero has two stories, the bottom being the cafe, and the top floor having additional seating. There is also outdoor seating here as well so no matter what your vibe is, Gelato Vero probably has you covered. The outdoor seating is great to sit and chill when we have our typical SD weather. Mission Hills tends to catch great sunsets so that's a plus as well. The upstairs area lends to a similar vibe, but also is pretty quiet so it is great for studying or having a more intimate hangout with friends. Food/drink: the gelato here is top tier. My normal go to flavors are the tiramisu (though I think they sadly have not had it in a while), spumoni, and stracciatella. Their sorbets are also very good for the sweet/tangy lovers and refreshing for hot days. The gelato/sorbets definitely remind me of those in Italy. The coffee is also solid here as well, and I love the Italian sodas. Service: the workers here are always very nice and good with suggestions. The caffe is also kept clean and maintained and that's a sign of good service. In summary: I've been coming here for probably over a decade now and that love and loyalty still stands to the point of delusional madness, but it is warranted. Gelato Vero remains one of my absolute go-to spots and guaranteed recommendation for visiting friends or anyone asking for recs on new places or cafes.
