About

Il Gelataio works as a coffee stop and a gelateria, which is useful in Puerto de la Cruz when you want more than a fast tourist cone. Reviews praise Illy espresso served in an Italian style, clean surroundings, warm staff and gelato with rich, direct flavours.

The clearest gelato signals are Amarena, lemon, chocolate and generous yoghurt cups. Prices are described as fair, and several visitors mention returning more than once during the same stay. Treat it as a simple, dependable coffee-and-gelato break rather than a full cafe meal.

Guest review summary

Commonly mentioned by visitors.

Illy espresso, served in an Italian style, is a real reason to stop here.

Amarena, lemon, chocolate and yoghurt cups get clear praise for rich flavour and generous portions.

Clean surroundings and warm staff make people return more than once.

Use it for coffee and gelato, not as a full cafe meal.

This café is very clean, and we appreciated that they use good-quality beans rather than cheap ones, which makes their coffee consistently enjoyable. We ended up visiting several times during our holiday simply because we liked the taste.

What stayed with us most was the warm, sincere atmosphere. The staff are polite and genuine, creating a simple but comforting experience. Among the cafés in town, this is the one we would easily recommend.

Delicious ice cream with rich authentic flavour. First day i tried a scoop of the Amarena and one Lemon ice cream, both were very tasty. Went the day after and tried the Yogurt cup, also tasted nice and was a big portion. Fair prices and friendly service. Going again tomorrow :)

Best coffe this side of Milan! Espresso like it is served in Italy. Brings out the best in the Illy beans and served with a biscuit and glass of water. I am back for my second fix of the day.

We stopped here by chance… and completely fell in love 😍 The ice cream is dreamy — creamy, intense, and made with love. The shakes are refreshing and full of flavor, as if summer had a taste — this would be it 🌞 You can feel the passion in every detail. We’ll definitely be back — we want to try everything! ☺️
