Pappalecco

What a disappointment. Been coming on this place before I moved out of San Diego more than 14 years ago. This is how you are served your ice cream now adays. This is how it looks before taking a single bite… needless to say it’s not a cheap ice cream at all. Even worse, we sat outside and our coffee order was sitting inside without notice for 10 min. If I had not went inside to check out coffee would have been ice cold. Not coming here again .

Excellent gelato, tasted straight out of Italy. We visited last fall, the pistachio and amaretto special was the best I’d ever had.

Wonderful taste clean and beautiful place

Searching for a breakfast spot led me to stumble upon Pappalecco, right around the corner! Talk about a delightful morning surprise! I went for the Panini Pappalecco paired with the an amazing beverage named Capriccioso for my drink. The service? Oh, it's top-notch – and that panini? Simply stole my heart ❤️ I’ll totally be back !

Super cute, very Italian cafe with the friendliest staff! They’ve been here for 17 years and are both a cafe during the day and a gelateria at night. They greeted me with a big Buon Giorno. I’m in town for a conference and the owner also gave me recommendations on restaurants to go to in the area. Super helpful and nice. Dietary restrictions: Oat milk available!

I’ll walk here for coffee on some mornings. The coffee here is more my taste and style and excellently crafted each time. The part that touches my heart is the consistent warm welcome upon enter the establishment from who I believe is the owner. Parking: On the corner in little Italy; plan for street or lot parking unless walking.

Cute little Italian cafe in the heart of Little Italy. Great coffee and great pastry snacks. Owner is very friendly and clearly a staple to his community. Even works as a quick study spot.

Awesome coffee and pastries
