    The cannolis were amazing! Relaxed corner coffee shop, with some food options, ice cream, pastries and good outdoor seating

    Great Little Italy spot in San Diego to get some great flavors of Gelato. Friendly staff and good corner location to enjoy it.

    The people helping us were so nice and patient as we tried to figure out what to get. We were looking for gelato our whole trip so we're excited to try this place. The flavors were perfect and the smooth texture of the gelato hit the spot. We ended up going back ans ordering rhe canoli as well ans were very happy with the shell and flavor of the filling. We went around 7:30pm on a weekday and it was pretty quiet around with nice relaxing out door seating.

    I’ve been going to Pappalecco for years. The baked goods are to die for and the selection of food is better and nicer than most of the restaurants and coffee shops nearby in Little Italy. Great stop before you hit the farmer’s market on Saturday mornings. Their espresso tastes really clean and they have a good deal of different syrup options for coffee. I HIGHLY recommend a stop here if you’re a local or just visiting the city. The frittata is so fluffy and the sweet breakfast toasts are really divine. I recommend the salmon croissant as well.

    Don’t order the Gelato shake. It was like slightly gelato-flavored milk. I tasted the vegan chocolate gelato before ordering the shake and was anticipating the drink very much. It did not have that flavor or shake consistency at all.
