The Gelateria Coffee Company - Cafe in St. Louis - 3197 S Grand Blvd, USA

The Gelateria proved to be a bit of a pleasant surprise to me when I moved to the neighborhood. Read the other reviews for talk about ambiance or coffee or pastries or whatever. I'm here to talk sandwiches. I'm an insufferable sandwich snob and was pretty taken aback when someone in the industry told me that this place right down the road from me had the best breakfast sandwich in STL. Then someone else told me their lunch sandwiches were just as good. Sidebar: Can I can make a plea to this local treasure? Tell people you sell sandwiches! Yes, I know you post them on your Instagram sometimes, but your website says literally *nothing* about sandwiches. Let the entire internet know! Anyway, it's true, the breakfast sandwich is legitimately very good. I'm not sure I'd go literal best in the city, but worth your time and money for sure. Add bacon and spinach. The lunch sandwiches I actually like even more -- they're served on an excellent crusty focaccia and manage to be interesting while also being simple and elegant. For example, the roast beef combines medium-rare roast beef, two sauces (salsas rossa and verde), and arugala -- that's it. Really, really good without needing gimmicks. The menu seems to shift periodically and, again, you can't check their sandwich menu online, so you'll just need to read the board when you walk in. Lots of non-meat options. Some sandwich caveats: They come out a bit slow, which is fine, but makes dropping in for a quick takeaway sandwich a 10-20 minute errand depending on the line. (No online ordering, unfortunately.) They're also not budget sammies -- the lunch offerings are $13+tax, plus a couple bucks if you want chips. I think they're worth it, but if you're hunting for a utilitarian and cost-efficient sandwich, you are barking up the wrong tree. Overall, a worthy addition to my list of my very favorite sandwich places in town. Worth a trip, especially if you have the time to sit inside with your meal and enjoy the slow-paced coffee shop vibes.

I loved this place! Service is really good, everyone is kind and eager to take your order. I got a cortado and as an exigent coffee lover I must say it was quite good. The ambient was cozy and relaxed, definetely will be back. Great prices too.

You walk into some beautiful wooden floors and scenery. The stunning gelato is on display and makes you want to take it all home. You keep walking to a nice nook that looks perfect for reading. I got a latte and a mini-pizza which were both tasty. Great for a little snack or if you want to enjoy a cozy weekend treat. The other pastries are made fresh and brought out on demand. Definitely coming back and possibly bringing a book to spend a few hours here when it gets more chilly outside.

YUM! the coffee here was absolutely delicious and the breakfast sandwiches were amazing! so much flavor in the sandwich. will certainly be returning here in the near future.

Not as creamy as traditional gelato, but still pretty tasty. I got the PB Crunch (which was good) and the stratiatella. I think the stratiatella was made with oat milk which I didn’t realize until after I ordered which it why it wasn’t as creamy as gelato I’ve had in Italy and elsewhere. It was fine but tasted like ice cream, not gelato. A medium was about $7.

They have awesome Gelato. And great place to work remotely or read or study. They have a beautiful backyard courtyard with a fountain and gorgeous plants and foliage and blue mosaic tables. And there is additional quiet workspace upstairs, lots of nooks. And the first floor has cool bookshelves and working spaces. They also have snacks.

Love this place! The moment you open the door, the amazing smell of coffee greats you. The atmosphere is also very cozy and calming. Their gelato is amazing. I love that they have non dairy oat milk options for gelato. I especially loved the chia flavor I had once, I have never had the chance to find it again. My go-to is an affogato. I wish they had more locations, specifically in West County. I'd definitely be a daily customer if they did.

Great Gelato and amazing coffee ☕️ 👌 super views and vibes will return soon 5 stars
