Maplewood Gelato & Sweets

Ill start by saying that I am an Italian woman that loves gelato. My parents are both chefs and I was raised on home made, fresh gelato. So you can say I can be a little picky for some good ice cream - now let’s talk about maplewood. I absolutely LOVE this place. First & foremost - customer service, 10/10. They’re friendly, welcoming & kind. You can taste test the flavours before committing to your cup. I have done this time and time again, it’s SO hard to pick. The flavours are always changing and although I have my all time favs I do my best to try the new ones too. I’ve read a couple of negative reviews and those people are absolutely lost. There is simply nothing negative to say here. Delicious, fresh, homemade, friendly… what more do you want? I love it. My favourite business is Crystal Beach. Keep up the good gelato. Love, probably your biggest fan.

I came from out of town a few weeks ago and was able to stop in. Tried the blackberry cheesecake gelato and it was incredible – so creamy and flavorful! I just wish we had a location in my city, because now nothing else compares.

Maplewood Gelato makes the best dairy-free gelato I’ve ever had — hands down. The dairy-free chocolate is unbelievably rich and flavorful, and the fact that they also offer gluten-free cones is a game-changer. I haven’t been able to enjoy what feels like a real ice cream cone in over ten years, and this experience honestly brought me close to tears. On top of that, I’m lucky enough to live just down the road, which makes this little gem even more special. Highly recommend to anyone — especially those with food sensitivities who still want an incredible gelato experience.

What a local gem.. we are so lucky to have amazing gelato so close to home. Just like being in Italy. High quality ingredients and amazing flavours.

When the grandson visits us in CB we always hit up Maplewood Gelato!
Is there anything better than eating Gelato chillin’ on Derby?
Snickers is our favourite!
Great staff, great owners (Amber & Mike) and soooo much great Gelato!

I love the gelato here. I am a local, and I refer my friends to Maplewood Gelato. If I have company, especially from out of Town, I refer them here, or I take them myself. The flavours are amazing. They change all the time and the holiday flavours are the best. The gelato is so fresh, creamy and delicious! The serving sizes are good and worth every dollar spent. I highly recommend Maplewood Gelato for the gelato itself, but the customer service is the best.

I've been going to Maplewood since before they opened and I have personally seen the evolution of what was once a dream become reality. They pour their hearts into everything they do and every flavour they create from scratch!

The best part about them is that if they get any feedback good or bad they use it improve. They don't make excuses they just find a way to make it better, they show how much they care every day by doing this and I can't recommend them enough.

I'm a big fan of tiger tail and I have seen the evolution of their homemade licorice skyrocket to perfection in taste texture and consistency.

Give them a try you won't regret it!

Love this place

Hands down best gelato ! Unique Flavours and definitely quality ingredients ! You will not be disappointed with any choice from this little shop. If you are visiting Crystal Beach it is a must. Also I cannot say enough about the owners , they are wonderful and sweet. Last visit we had great chats about our favourite flavours and ingredients as we watch them making their gelato in-house. Bravo to Mike and Amber and their sweet little shop. We will be back soon.

Great people. Great spot. Great gelato.

Enough said. Some local reviewers don’t know quality and based on their other reviews, prefer complaining over appreciating. Pay them no mind.

I’ve been going here since the day they opened, and they do a great job and work everyday to make the experience better for their guests.

I live locally and we just love this lovely gelato shop! So many fun, unique, and delicious flavours!!! You can tell everything is made with love and a lot of thought goes into each and every batch!! Thank you Maplewood:)

Absolutely love this place, great gelato and always the most friendly staff.

Maplewood is truly a foodie’s dream and one of the absolute best things to happen in Crystal Beach! Every single flavor is made fresh on site with so much care, and you can really taste the difference. It’s one of those places where you have to try more than one flavor because each one is just that good. My family’s forever favorite is the blueberry cheesecake, but the stracciatella will honestly blow your mind. I also love that they honor Crystal Beach’s history with unique flavors like loganberry swirl—such a thoughtful touch. What makes Maplewood extra special is the owner herself—she pours her heart into this business, listens to customer feedback, and keeps surprising us with new, creative flavors. She couldn’t be kinder or more welcoming. This is more than just a treat spot—it’s a community gem that deserves all the love and support. An absolute must-visit!

I have been here multiple times. Never disappointed. I have loved every flavour I’ve tried. Keep doing the fabulous job you’re doing.
