A Little Gelato
Phone: (919) 237-2594
Overview
What’s even better than a new ice cream shop? A new gelato, sorbetto and pastry shop! Gelato is an Italian-style ice cream that does not contain buttermilk and eggs – it’s more compact, but still airy and delicious—it’s impossible to look into a gelato display case and not start salivating. A Little Gelato is open Friday-Sunday and rotates their flavors consistently, so it’s good to check social media for updates. They also stock Italian cookies, macarons, pies, tarts and fresh baked breads.

Such a hidden gem!
I’m visiting North Carolina with my son and we stopped by A Little Gelato around 7pm. It’s tucked away in the back of the building and so worth finding. The shop is cute, the gelato is absolutely delicious, and they also have pastries and baked goods.
The owner was incredibly kind—he served us himself, gave us free bread, and even shared advice about moving to North Carolina (he’s originally from New Jersey too!). Great gelato and even better hospitality. Highly recommend! -
A Little Gelato is my go-to for every birthday and celebration. Ken is a delight and the cheesecake and carrot cake are our favourites 🤤

Excellent gelato, remarkable tiramisu and nice service. I sampled their lemon cake gelato (phenomenal), but ended up ordering a pistachio affogato -- the portion was incredibly generous. The cafe also offers a selection of artisan olive oils and other cute knicknacks that can make a great gift for any cook in your life.
The location is a little odd and I actually drove past it the first time. Still, there's ample parking in the area -
I found this hidden gem dessert spot and wow.. everything I tried was good. The cheesecake was rich without being too heavy, the pistachio gelato was so good and smooth, and the tiramisu might’ve been one of the best I’ve had in a while. A Little Gelato is definitely worth checking out.

Such a great place with amazing gelato and desserts.
More importantly though the owners are amazing.
Today I walked in maybe my 4th visit and I was distracted by the fact of it being a death anniversary of a close friend. I was overwhelmed mentally and didn’t know what I wanted. The owner kindly offered me samples of the things I asked about and never seemed to be annoyed when I didn’t buy all I tired.
Then I ordered something to take home to my little one and forgot it when I got my gelato. I was about to drive away when the owner came out and handed it to me saying I couldn’t forget it for my little one. I asked did I pay for it? His response. It’s just a cookie and handed it to me. In a world full of “owe us” it was so refreshing to be on the receiving end of kindness even in my distraction, difficulty decision making, and on a day that no one would know was a difficult day.
We need more businesses like this. We need more people in the world that operate human kindness and curiosity over assumption and judgment. The place is great and the people keep it great!
