About Gelato Express
Gelato Express serves Italian-style gelato, sorbets, and fresh waffle cones at 4379 Gallant Avenue in Deep Cove, near the boat launch and Quarry Rock trail.
After a steep climb up Quarry Rock or a long paddle through Indian Arm, the small commercial cluster on Gallant Avenue offers a welcome respite for tired legs. Gelato Express anchors this eastern village block alongside cafes and outfitters, sitting just steps from the water and a short walk from the public boat launch. The Italian-style menu features dense gelato served by the scoop, sorbets, milkshakes, and occasional soft-serve options that hit the spot when the summer sun beats down on the cove. Staff are generally happy to offer samples before you commit, a kindness that matters when the line stretches out the door on warm afternoons and decision fatigue sets in.
Waffle cones bake in-house throughout the day, filling the air with a scent that draws cyclists finishing the ride back from the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge. Takeaway tubs serve cottagers heading across to Sasamat Lake, while sugar-free and dairy-free cups accommodate dietary needs within the steady weekend crowd of families. Parking is plentiful along the avenue and in the lot above the marina, making access easy by car or on two wheels. As seasons shift from busy summer kayakers to quieter neighborhood regulars, this spot remains a familiar reward at the end of a Deep Cove errand run or a family loop past the Panorama Park playground.
