Coppa Gelato - Westerville, Ohio

P Reviews

This place is a nice change from the regular ice cream places around. I went on a hot day and the place was full of people so trying to find a place to eat made it a little less enjoyable. The employees were very nice and helpful. They have many flavors, which makes me worry that it is not real, homemade gelato. The gelato was very good and they even have gelato flights which is fun. The prices weren’t too bad either.

Wow! Go to this place for Gelato! Period, exclamation point! In from out of town [Pittsburgh] and was at Wendell's Pub for dinner (great place BTW). Wanted a dessert and saw that Coppa was right around the corner. The staff was so nice and was encouraging to try samples. Not a bad Gelato in the house! I had the Bourbon Pecan and thier special butter cream with dark chocolate flakes from Italy (can't even spell or pronounce the name). It was amazing, very smooth, the right amount of sweet and just excellent. The best thing was the amount you get for the price. A medium is only $6 and i had 2 flavors! They load it up and it was actually too much for me! They have been around for a long time and hopefully are around much longer. Go to this place for Gelato for sure!

I now understand why Coppa Gelato is the Best Dessert in Westerville 2023 and Ohios Best Ice Cream Shop in 2023. My friends and I happen upon this gelato shop after going to dinner next door.

The shop is setup as a cute ice cream parlor and there is a sign that says gelato vs ice cream and explains the differences. I didn't know that gelato is lower in calories, fat and carbohydrates. This shop has cups of ice cream, cones, pints, and shakes.

I was able to try four different gelatos, including Stracciatella (my favorite), Cookies and Milk, Cookie Butter Crunch and Bourbon Pecan. All amazing flavors and I cannot wait to come back and try more.

Definitely come out to this gem of a shop and try the amazing gelato. I appreciate the fact that I didn't feel very full or overwhelmed with sugar. I will definitely be back!!

Just discovered this place on Friday and I absolutely love it. By far the best gelato in the city. It’s house made to perfection, super creamy & they offer plenty of flavors. It’s a cute little cafe sprinkled with old country relics. The owner is a super personable dude living out his dream. Definitely check this place out, you will not be disappointed. The only thing that would make it better is if there was a location in Dublin.

One of my closest friends and I were having one of our fun, one-on-one culinary adventures that led us to Coppa Gelato for dessert.

She got the snickerdoodle and pumpkin gelatos, which she said were really good. I got the lemon basil sorbetto as it sounded like the best vegan option, and I was not disappointed. It was refreshing, herbaceous, and pleasantly aromatic. The sweetness was just right and not overpowering. I ate an entire pint and would have gladly eaten another gallon, but we had just had dinner.

We had eaten at the patio because the weather was nice, but as we were getting ready to head out, I asked my friend if I could take pictures of the inside before we left because the venue looked cool. I am so glad we did.

Donald, the manager, asked us about our experience, and we had an amazing conversation. He was kind, curious, thoughtful, and inquisitive as he told us how they were building their social media presence, engaging with the community with free gelato making classes, potentially collaborating with nearby restaurants, creating new recipe ideas, and keeping Italian tradition alive in Westerville while making gelato and other desserts of their own. It was a pure delight, and we talked with Donald for over an hour about the new fall menu items.

Donald was amazing and gave us samples of their homemade buckeyes, which happened to be vegan. I personally am not a fan of peanut butter in most desserts, but they surpassed all of my expectations. The buckeyes were perfectly sweet, but not cloying, they struck the right balance between chocolate and peanut butter, and I almost ate the ones my friend was going to eat. They were incredible.

I highly recommend Coppa Gelato under the current management (Nov. 2022) for anyone who enjoys gelato, ice cream, confections, and baked desserts. They make everything in house and also have fancy coffee. If you are in the area, definitely stop by. You will be glad you did.

I loved this place! The ice cream was so yummy! And we would definitely return! Even when we live far from this area. And they kindly gave our dog a treat, too! She was adopted from FCDS.

Came here on a very hot day and it was delicious. I enjoyed what I got, I just wish it was a bit bigger or less expensive. I wanted to do a flight, but it was a bit much. I enjoyed their outdoor seating area and really liked the chill and cool atmosphere of the shop. I recommend this place for dessert, a causal date, a family outing, or just a sweet treat!
I think this is a great place for for families and kids! I think it's a great treat and they make pretty unique flavors. I liked the pecan gelato I got, but I wanted to try their early grey gelato, but it wasn't the right months.
Service was great, the employees were quick and helpful! You can try different flavors before you buy, so you can get what you like.
There's plenty of parking spaces and spaces to sit for a small group inside and out. There are other places to eat and shop around the plaza as well.
