I had the vegan dark chocolate which was rich creamy with a delightful chocolatey bitterness. My wife had the Pavlova (non vegan) with berries and enjoyed it completely. Service was friendly and we sampled a lot before choosing.
There were at least 6 amazing vegan options! I had a regular size cup with chocolate cookie and strawberry flavors. I could have easily shared it with another person, it was gigantic!
WOW! So many options available the day we came to Anita Gelato! I actually had a hard time deciding which /never/ happens. Perfect treat during a hot day of walking around Old San Juan.
The title says it all! They had 4 or 5 vegan options today - a chocolate and a bunch of fruit flavors - but the line was always at least twenty-five people deep, on a Tuesday evening. We walked by it 3 times hoping to catch it at a slower time, but we never did, so we never actually got any ice cream, but it must be pretty good to be that busy, because I think the cheapest size was $7!
Great spot in Old San Juan, perfect as a reward at the end of a day of walking in the heat. There were only fruit flavors and dark chocolate when we went, but the combo of dark chocolate and mixed berries was amazing. Beautiful place, staff friendly and helped the line move fast.
Would like to see more non fruit flavor options.
10 vegan options today including many fruit flavors and dark chocolate and chocolate cookie. Look for the green dot on the flavor label. Delicious and I’m so glad to see chocolate represented among the vegan options
Many reviews say they have five vegan flavors, but when I went there were nine! Tropical, coconut, mango, pineapple, mixed berry, strawberry, dark chocolate, caramel cookie, and limoncello. Plus, the lady helping us told me all of their cones are vegan too!
I tasted around five of them and they were all amazing. Four stars because non-vegan, but the best gelato I've had in years.
Flavors and textures are so delicious! Vegan ice cream is clearly marked with a green V on the label. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about cones and flavors. I sampled 5 or 6 before picking Chocolate Cookie and added walnuts as topping (this is an extra charge).
The wait can be a little long, I think it took us 20/25 mins in line. Don’t worry about asking for samples, even if you are already asked for your order - staff will not rush you, only will ask to move down the line but you can take your time at the counter.
We came here based on below positive reviews and it was fun and tasty.
The place is beautiful, with many vegan flavors to select and match. The flavor choices are identified as “vegan” and the staff is very helpful with all your questions. Also you can taste the gelatos before you buy. 😋 The gelatos are made daily, so you’ll be eating a fresh product.
They had several vegan options, clearly marked vegan. I chose chocolate cookie crunch. It was rich, creamy, and delicious. They have a variety of vegan toppings like nuts and fruit, plus the waffle and sugar cones are vegan.
Omg. Los mejores sabores de chocolate, aquí los encontré!🤤😍 - Edit
😫🤩🥰Qué freaking ricooooo. Probé los 2 de chocolate, aquí yo como verdadero #Chocoholic #ChocolateLover. Ya quiero volver con más personas para que lo prueben. La próxima espero no dejarme llevar y volver a pedir los mismos. Los demás suenan bien ricos también. Me encantó que cada opción vegana está marcada como con un sellito verde que dice "Vegan".
Extremely delicious. I had a vegan cone with the chocolate cookies gelato and the coconut gelato. I actually hated the coconut gelato as it had an awful lime flavor. But the vegan chocolate cookies and vegan cone saved the day. I’d definitely go back. They had at least 6 vegan flavors yesterday.
we were allowed to taste many flavors and there were quite a few options that were dairy-free/vegan! the flavors were all very delicious and they have some sugar-free options as well. it was quite crowded when we went but it was worth it.
This place had the best gelato I’ve ever eaten. I got a scoop of the vegan watermelon and a scoop of vegan chocolate mixed and it was so good, I could have died right there on the spot! The mix of fresh fruit and decadent, rich chocolate nearly stopped my heart. Best place to eat in OSJ.
There were at least 4 dairy free options when we went and we really enjoyed! The server did put a dollop of another flavor on top of each of ours and put a dairy flavor on mine. I scooped it off but if that'd bother you then I'd make it clear you're vegan. Overall a good experience.
We wanted dessert later at night and this spot is open late. We initially had sticker shock about the prices for the size gelato that you get BUT they really fill the tiny cups. They had chocolate, coconut, and a few fruit non-dairy gelato flavors when I was there. All are made in house. I got the chocolate and coconut abs they were tasty, though the chocolate was a bit too rich for me. I recommend eating inside because our gelato melted all over us as we walked around outside.
