What People Are Saying About Staccato Gelato

In Short – Painted lively colors, this gelato spot serves its smooth, refreshing product in cones or in colorful receptacles that would make even the biggest bully giddy inside. The daily house-made gelato is made from fresh, organic ingredients resulting in vibrant flavors that run the gamut from standard vanilla and chocolate mint to coconut and orange cardamom. Each spoonful has a strong, yet creamy undertone that charms the most heightened palate.

Gelato is great, even when it's cold
by FlyingDonkey
My wife and I are regular customers of the Sellwood shop and while I have to admit that I do not normally share her sweet tooth...I have been won over by the variety of gelato flavors (and perhaps the occasional doughnut). We do enjoy the summertime when we can sit outside with our dog but it's also a great place to hide from the rain, have some tea, and do a little remote work with the free WiFi.
- Pros: Sugary Goodness
- Cons: It disappears when I eat it

Just can't get enough!
by GreatHammerofThor
I have been traveling to Portland on business for years and I have a thing for gelato. Every time I make it to PDX, I go out of my way to visit this nice little shop (I hear they have another location as well... haven't been there yet). I chatted with one of the owners (I think her name was Sarah) one morning I was there. She was very nice and quite friendly. We talked about Portland and how nice it was there. It felt very warm , welcoming and casual. Very Portland indeed. The staff there has always been pleasant to me.... And most of them fairly easy on the eyes. I love the tried and true favorite flavors right along with the new and somewhat seasonal offerings like Thai iced tea or Lavender.
I have read some of the other reviews and also would agree that it sounds like perhaps a disgruntled former employee and maybe a few of her friends had written those slanderous remarks.
- Pros: best gelato plus coffee and doughnuts!
- Cons: in a different state.

a lotta good stuff!
by littlefinch
my husband and i love staccato gelato so much that we come all the way down from vancouver. staccato was the first place i ever tried gelato, back when it first opened, and it has become the standard by which i judge all other gelato shops. but none have come close! i think the gelato there has the best taste and texture, and it's a fun place to just sit and read and hang out. i also really like the artwork.
i only wish they'd open one in vancouver, so we don't have to go so far...
- Pros: fresh flavors that actually taste like their ingredients
- Cons: i don't live close enough to get there often.
