Best espresso chip gelato in Chicago
Great gelato! I had a tough time finding anything around my hotel in downtown so I jumped on the CTA bus and came out here! It was worth the small trip!
Great spot to meet friends and enjoy ice cream. Right off bus line! Cool and creative flavors including goat cheese, Cookie Monster, hazelnut, etc. there’s free water cups available as well as cakes for sale.

Black Dog Gelato is a small, family-owned shop offering a variety of unique and delicious flavors. They cater to dietary restrictions with non-dairy and gluten free options, and have outdoor seating available. Favorites include Sweet Corn, Raspberry Chocolate Truffle, and Dark Chocolate gelatos, as well as light and refreshing sorbets. The shop offers a cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and cleanliness. Prices are reasonable, with two scoops in a sugar cone coming out to $7. The homemade fresh ice cream has incredible flavors, and the goat cheese cashew caramel is a go-to and fan favorite. The Italian Cookie tastes exactly like biscoff cookies. Serving size is perfect, and every bite is packed with flavor. They have amazing options for vegans too, with so many dairy free options. The staff are super sweet, and there is a lovely little outdoor patio area with string lights and tables under shady trees. Each scoop is not too big nor too small. It is a rare city find with European grade creaminess, sugar content and flavors. Their limited flavors are not overwhelming like other ice-cream businesses, and hospitality is superb.
