Experience Italy at GelaTeoCafe with authentic gelato, coffee, and handmade pastries, no need to travel.
GELATEOCAFE
Fifteen years ago, I was lucky enough to train in Italy with Pier Luigi Tozzi, a master Gelato – ice creammaker, who transmitted to me the passion and secret of good Italian gelato.
Nothing makes me happier than using fresh, seasonal, and natural ingredients to create authentic gelato that brings joy to people.
I am thrilled to continue handcrafting gelato and desserts using traditional Italian methods at the new GelaTeoCafe in Danforth Toronto, bringing SMILE to both young and adult food enthusiasts.
I hope GelaTeoCafe wows you with its products and welcoming, colorful ambiance, an authentic taste of Italy … without a passport!

TEOCAFE
The love for coffee and Italy runs in my family, starting with my grandfather TEO.
Growing up, I’ve come to enjoy products that are good, natural, and of high quality.
I’ve cultivated a love for gourmet food and find fulfillment in
sharing new tastes with others.
Coffee is one of them and that I like to share.
By teaming up with Youssef to open GelaTeoCafe, I want to create a destination where both locals and visitors can discover our selection of freshly roasted Italian coffee, whether you choose to enjoy it on-site or to purchase to brew it at home.
Experience our house blend coffee, crafted with love and expertise, along with our unique selections like Colombia, Moka Java, and Italian Expresso.
Yes, we do offer a flavorful decaffeinated fresh brew.
More original coffees to come. It’s worth the wait, so stay tuned.
