SORBETTI & VEGAN GELATO

We shop mainly for local, often organic fresh fruit, that is why at Gemelli we follow the seasons and change the sorbetto flavors weekly, depending on what’s ripe, in season and bursting with flavor. Vincenzo also crafts dairy free, vegan gelato flavors made with oat milk and a few, simple, organic ingredients.

 

HAndcrafted desserts & drinks

An elevated, European style café experience with plenty of seatings, true Italian desserts and gourmet coffee or tea drinks to enjoy.

Our mission has always been to share the food culture and treasured desserts Vincenzo grew up with in Italy with his local community. Vincenzo & Julianne chose West Chester instead of a large city because they were looking for a smaller and welcoming area to call their home and start their family, similar to the place Vincenzo grew up back in Italy, Ferrara.

It is with that commitment to local, uncompromised quality and tradition that Vincenzo opened Gemelli.

At Gemelli, we craft truly from scratch artisanal gelato and desserts using a combination of local, organic, seasonal and farm-fresh ingredients.

All our gelato and desserts are made in house fresh daily, without colorants, powder mixes, preservatives, corn-syrups, pre-made flavorings or emulsifiers. 

All our drinks are handcrafted to order and follow the same philosophy: no sugary syrups from a pump or artificial flavorings, but rather a more unique and gourmet coffee experience. We proudly serve LaColombe coffee from Philadelphia and our specialty syrups or flavor blends are handcrafted right here, with real, organic ingredients: our pumpkin spice syrup, our gourmet European style hot chocolate or mocha latte, or our chai tea latte organic loose leaf blend are all great examples.
