Danielle Gelateria in Coconut Grove has quickly become a popular spot for locals seeking a sweet treat, but I canât help but wonder â is it really gelato, or just gelato-like? While the gelato is decent, it doesnât quite reach the level of authenticity or flavor you might expect from a place that charges $10 for a small scoop and a half. Itâs a steep price point, especially considering the current economic challenges many are facing.
The gelateria seems to be leading the market mainly because thereâs little competition in the area. The only other option, Bianco, is another disappointment, leaving Danielle as the default choice. But does default mean itâs the best? Not necessarily. The gelato here is okay â not terrible, but it certainly has room for improvement, especially given the premium price.
For a family of six, a visit here could easily exceed $80 to $100++ just for a quick treat. And with those kinds of costs, itâs hard to imagine families returning often, or even considering large take-home containers. This pricing model could limit their customer base, especially in todayâs economic climate. A more approachable price point could not only make the gelateria more accessible to everyone but could also create the kind of buzz that results in long lines out the door.
The decor is simple, which is fine, but itâs another area where thereâs potential for enhancement. And on the topic of improvements, hygiene in the space is something that shouldnât be overlooked. A bit more attention here could go a long way in elevating the overall experience.
In summary, Danielle Gelateria offers a pleasant enough treat, but with higher prices and a lack of true competition, it feels like theyâre not quite living up to their potential. A few tweaks could make a big difference, turning this gelateria into a true...

I recently visited Danielle Gelato, and itâs safe to say itâs one of the best gelaterias Iâve ever experienced! From the moment I walked in, the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel welcome.
The gelato was absolutely outstandingâcreamy, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. They offer a wide variety of flavors, from classic favorites like pistachio and stracciatella to unique creations like passion fruit or lavender honey. Each scoop was packed with authentic, rich flavors that transported me straight to Italy!
What really stood out to me was their attention to detail. The presentation of the gelato was beautiful, and the staff was patient, allowing me to sample several flavors before making my choice. I also appreciated that they had vegan and dairy-free options, making it inclusive for everyone.

The scent aloneârich cocoa, roasted nuts, hints of ripe summer fruitâwas enough to make my knees buckle. Every detail, from the glass cases shimmering with perfectly swirled gelato to the golden glow of the lighting, whispered luxury.
I ordered pistachio and hazelnut, and what I received was nothing short of culinary transcendence. The pistachio was earthy and regal, as if hand-churned by Sicilian gods themselves. The hazelnut? A silk-soft dream wrapped in roasted warmth. Each bite felt like a sonnet composed on my tongue, a love letter from the old country.
The staff didnât just serve meâno, they bestowed the gelato upon me, with care and reverence as though they knew they were delivering something sacred. Their grace and warmth added another layer of beauty to an already divine experience.
There are places that serve dessert, and then there are places that awaken something in your soul. This was not just gelato. This was a momentâno, a memory. One Iâll crave forever.
Five stars arenât enough. I would give this place the...
