Gelatissimo Bus

Ice cream shop

👍👍 Cool double decker bus gellato hut! As an ice cream lover, it'd the best ice cream one can find on the island of Aruba. But its not all about the ice cream, it's about the fresh waffle cone that they make on the spot specially for you :) I hope you enjoy ! People often mention gelato, cream, good, nice, service, flavors, great, Great, Gelato, atmosphere,

    Beach, sun, and soooorbet! The texture was smooth and it tasted delicious. If you are around Palm Beach, make a stop at Gelatissimo! Find out more on my Instagram (IG: kelledstyle) ;-)

    Best in Aruba. We have had much better gelato, but only in Italy and Mexico.

    The Gelato was okay. Really nothing to write home about. The variety of flavors was extensive, but again, the taste fell short of the hype. The nostalgia and decor were very nice. As was the live music being performed by the DJ nearby. Altogether it made for an interesting and fun experience. $19 for 6 scoops 3 for him and 3 for me!

    Many great options. Delicious gelato. Friendly staff. I actually forgot my credit card here. Didn’t realize it until the next day when I went to use it somewhere else and thought back to the previous night. I went back that evening once they’d opened and they were so friendly and had my card for me. I really appreciated that! 😊 I also love how mindful of allergies they are. They have a large poster with their flavors and any allergens they each contain (milk, soy, nuts).

    Delicious sweet treats with a cute atmosphere. We went around 6 pm and didn’t have much of a wait, but each evening the line gets very long. Go early if you want to avoid the long line.

    The gelato flavors were so hard to choose from. I ended up getting the Ferrero Rocher and it tasted amazing. We sat upstairs in the truck, where it was breezy. Such a cute place!

    The best Italian gelato. The best place to stop and get freshly made waffle cones the best. The gelato amazing and the bus they serve it out of is so cute! Don’t forget to check out the top of the bus. Best treat to get on a walk checking out the shops. The prices are really good too. I got the strawberry that is really good but my husband got chocolate tang amazing !!!

    Rency was great! It’s hard to find vegetarian food on the Island. Food was tasty as well! In future, if we come back, we would definitely stop by here for a good meal!

  • 5/5 Amanda C. 4 years ago on Google

    Excellent brunch, food, atmosphere and prices. Loved this place

  • 5/5 Seeking R. 5 years ago on Google
    The service here was impressive. This place is inside the Marriott hotel. I was not staying at the Marriott, but I wanted late-night sorbet, so I drove over there. The parking was free and plentiful. When I was looking around to figure out where the ice cream shop was, a hotel employee saw me and approached me to offer help. When I came up to the counter, another customer was ahead of me. Certainly no big deal, but a second employee immediately appeared to help me. The 2 employees were very friendly and chatty. They told me how they make their sorbet from fresh lemons daily. After chatting a while, they invited me to come stay at their hotel next time. I got to say, I skipped this Marriott before because I thought it would be low-quality with a premium price tag. I was wrong. The place was clean, beautiful and the service was outstanding. I would definitely stay at this hotel in the future.

    Great gelato, great espresso. Worst service I have ever seen. We have been going there for years. Every night of our vacation we would go there for gelato and espresso, can’t take anymore that service.

  • 5/5 Jordan T. 4 years ago on Google
    AMAZING! Delicious! A must try while in Aruba! Get the brownie with ice cream scoop! On the pier by Bugaloes and near the center of Palm Beach main beach strip. So yummy I went twice!

  • 1/5 Kayleigh B. 4 years ago on Google
    My husband has a severe dairy allergy. When they told us they had many vegan options for him we were stoked! We ended up spending the night in the emergency room because the "vegan sorbet" had dairy in it. Who puts diary in sorbet?! My husband almost immediately had throat swelling and eventually got violently ill so we had no choice but to go to the hospital. I would have left a 5 star review if this didn't happen. Allergies and dietary restrictions are serious and need to be taken even more seriously by eating establishments. There's so many alternatives to dairy out there that are really healthy too...(coconut milk, oat milk, cashew milk etc...) I look forward to the day more ice cream shoppes and restaurants finally catch on.

    It has not even been a half hour since we left On the Rocks Cafe.....Friday, December 13, 2019. Our bill was $103.00 afl or $99.71 USD. NO WAY THAT CONVERSION IS CORRECT. We dined with friends, separate checks. Took our waitress several attempts to correct our bill to be 2 separate checks between us (2) and our friends (2). Finally it came out correct at 103.00 fl, but mistakenly, we paid in USD. OUR Waitress never said a word. On top of that, we left her a tip even though we had to go and find her to take our order, pick up our order from the kitchen, AND bring us our bill THREE TIMES. Shame on us for not catching the mistake, but shame on On the Rocks for taking our USD and not saying we overpaid. We are an American couple living in Aruba since Jan. 2017.. Have always liked this cafe, but after being blatantly ripped off, will not be back. Please check your drawer tonight! You should be over by at least $60.00 USD. it would be great to have a refund.

    Nothing like a good gelato for hot days and Gelatissimo is the answer for that. Pretty nice flavors and very refreshing. Please, please, please try the Black Hawai flavor which is dark chocolate with coconut… it’s amazing! I never heard about this flavor but now I’m a fan.

  • 3/5 DC 2 years ago on Google
    The gelato is extremely delicious. The Ferrero Rocher one is taste exactly what you’d expect it to taste like and it’s life changing. The bad. This place is a mess! People bumping into each other trying to see flavor options. Covid protocol not being followed whatsoever. Need to do better.

  • 4/5 Nancy W. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s so cool to see Gelato establishment in a cool decorated bus like that. I loved it! They also have a seating area in the upper level with a vey nice decoration.. the Gelato wasn’t the best but we liked the experience and we took many nice pictures in the bus.

  • 5/5 Michelle M. 2 years ago on Google
    We always stop for their Gelato after we have dinner. They have so many flavors it's hard to choose!

  • 5/5 David S. 6 years ago on Google
    Service was really wonderful and Gelato was some of the best I have ever had. Chocolate lovers go for the double chocolate its killer semi sweet just perfect! After the morning Gelato (never a bad time) liked it so much ee stayed for a Panini sandwich and got tbe "bundle" with ice tea and..... yes Gelato... 😁

  • 5/5 Christine A. 2 years ago on Google
    Ferrero Rocher & Cheesecake are incredible! Such a cute bus and fun “top” spinning seating. We loved it and came several nights!!

  • 4/5 Jackson N. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious gelato! The only reason for 4 stars is that the prices are a little high for my taste, but to their credit, Gelatíssimo does not mess around with gelato quality. We actually went twice, that's how good it was! The first time, I got Brownie a la Mode and my wife got Mint Brownie, both super good. The second time, we shared a hazelnut waffle cone and it was also very creamy. If you're going for just gelato, this is the place to go for sure.

  • 3/5 Day D. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty flavors. Went there on my last night in Aruba, around 1115pm and they closed at 12am. They did not have any waffle cones left. The service was super slow and there were 3 people working. I had to wait for 2 employees to finish their conversation, and then serve my ice cream. Will I go back? Yes, I like the ambiance. But I will go earlier, hopefully they have waffle cones and the staff is more attentive to customers.

  • 5/5 Kitty K. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing! This is a must try. Bus is super cute and you can sit up top on 2nd floor and eat your Gelato there. Workers were kind. Long lines of people at night.

  • 5/5 Adam C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice gelato place. Prices aren’t bad and good variety of flavors. It’s in a really nice plaza with lots going on and plenty of seating.

  • 3/5 Anju 1 year ago on Google
    It’s nice but they only have one vegan flavour. Should definitely add more vegan options for how much they’re charging

  • 5/5 Henri I. 1 year ago on Google
    Very rich artesanal icecream, fast and great service. There are plenty of tables in the plaza right in front of it, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Don't be discouraged by the lineup as it moves pretty fast.

  • 4/5 D. R. 7 months ago on Google
    Despite all the hustle and bustle, they are pretty efficient and provide quick service. As you can see in the pictures, there was a huge crowd but we were able to get our gelato fairly quickly. First you go to the window on the right hand side to place your order and pay. You will receive a receipt with a number which you will hold on to until your number is called by the server. At this point you can sample the flavors until you make your final decision. The server will then serve you based on your order and you're off to enjoy your dessert. There are plenty of seats available both outside and on the second floor of the bus for you to enjoy your gelato. Again, although it seemed full of people, we were able to get a seat without a problem and even had the whole second floor to ourselves for a while. The Oreo Vanilla was good. The Pistachio was just ok. The waffle cone was especially tasty. Nothing out of this world but definitely a nice spot to enjoy some desert after a good meal.

  • 5/5 CM 7 months ago on Google
    Delicious Italian gelato and situated in what feels like an Italian piazza at night with live music, nice restaurants, and a great crowd. Lots of flavors to choose from and great service

  • 5/5 Michelle W. 7 months ago on Google
    Gelatissimo is such a fun little ice cream shop located in the coolest retro bus! This place gets packed, and it makes total sense because the ice cream is delicious. There are about 20 flavors to choose from and they’re all label, which I very much appreciate having a gluten allergy. Go try it for yourself!

  • 4/5 curtis t. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gelato and fantastic atmosphere in the Piazza around it. The line was really long and they have a weird two-step process where you wait in line to get a number and then you wait in line to actually have someone make your order. This means that you get to wait and not one long line but two long lines. Overall the gelato was not special enough for this almost 30 minute process.

  • 5/5 Jillian V. 9 months ago on Google
    Very yummy and a nice treat after dinner. Would highly recommend a stop when visiting Aruba. The prices are comparable and the amount of flavors is extensive. They will let you try before you buy. Excellent customer service.

  • 5/5 GrAcIE W. 6 months ago on Google
    The gelato is so good at Gelatissimo!! We went for dessert after dinner couple times during our visit in Aruba, the gelato is creamy & smooth and there are so many flavors to choose. We have tried Hazelnut, Pistachio, Ferraro Rocher & Nutella. All were so good and my favorite is Ferraro Rocher!!! I wanted to have another cup if I wasn’t that full lol. With that said, we will definitely be back again on our next visit.

  • 4/5 Trevor R. W. 4 months ago on Google
    Busy spot. Their service isn’t super friendly like most places around here but they are pretty quick. There is seating in the bus (upper deck) and/or tables outside. Prices are acceptable for a snack sized drink (coffee) or cone. The live music for the area is nice.

  • 5/5 Steph S. 4 months ago on Google
    Lots of options, all great choices. We stopped multiple times during our stay and enjoyed each one! The black Hawaiian and passion fruit were my favorites!

  • 5/5 M S. 3 months ago on Google New
    This is an interesting Gelato (something like ice-cream) bus located at 'The Village' in Palm Beach! The Gelato comes in multiple choice of flavors and you decide whether to have it in a cup or waffle cone, with choice of toppings. You can go upstairs (upper deck of bus) to savor your Gelato and enjoy an elevated view of The Village; with Live music from nearby pubs. The Village becomes a very lively place (at night) with plenty of moderate to expensive restaurants and multiple boutique gift shops.

  • 3/5 Nick T. 4 months ago on Google
    Cool old bus turned into a Gelato restaurant. The gelato is excellent. But the place gets so busy and the set up to order and then select creates long delays. There were five people working, but only serving. It felt poorly managed.
