Gelato was top tier. So was the espresso. Great spot to chill and people watch 🙃

Almare is delicious and conveniently located! I go once a week at 8:30 pm and look forward to it each time! BUT— I am getting a bit tired of the two recurring things that have made me leave without getting anything multiple times. First, I am there well before closing and several times they have empty containers advertising flavors that have been scraped completely clean. I understand that sometimes flavors run out, but employees have said that they just do not want to thaw out the flavor. . . Second, they’ve gotten progressively stingier with the portions. The scoops get scraped down to be perfectly flush with the top of the cup (sometimes even pushed concave into the cup), and for the most recent price increase bringing a medium to $7, I’m starting to wonder if it is worth it.
**Edit** Thank you for your response Simone! Of course I will be back! I can’t miss my weekly Almare!

My favorite gelato spot! Love how they’re always coming out with new flavors
I owe Alamare Gelato an apology because they truly deserve nothing but praise. On my last visit, I may have seemed impatient, and I regret not showing the appreciation this amazing place deserves. Alamare Gelato is absolutely incredible—the gelato is perfect in every way. The flavors are rich, authentic, and always so fresh. My absolute favorite is the cookies and cream—it’s heavenly, with just the right balance of creamy goodness and chunks of cookie perfection. The texture of the gelato is so smooth and luxurious, it’s like a little scoop of happiness every time. The staff is always friendly and hardworking, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes every visit special. Thank you for being the best and for continuing to deliver such amazing gelato. You’ve got a lifelong fan in me! Once again I can’t begin to express how sorry I am for my last review.

I just tried the Almare Gelato for the first time. I prefer by far gelato to ice cream, and I’ve tried many delicious gelatos in my life. These ones (chocolate and pistachio) are straight up the best I ever had IN MY LIFE. Go to Almare Gelato, or order online, and be enlightened.

Love their gelato. Super conveniently located next to downtown Berkeley BART on Shattuck. Not really much space to sit and eat, so grab to go.

Staff here is rude.
“We only allow one sample”
Well… whats the point of a sample then if you want to debate two flavors?
Lost my business. Gelato was sub par, even for a sample. What a joke of a business model.

Server said only 1 sample per person which was rude. The eggnog gelato was too much rum. All the flavors were just too much and not subtle. Would not recommend.
Amazing Gelato
Good taste.
Very affordable and very very delicious🥰
