They have a wide variety of flavours, but my favourites are raspberry and the ferrero rocher flavour. Best gelato in Ottawa! The service was great. They're very prompt and let you sample as many flavours as you would like. Very clean restaurant as well. I will definitely be going back.

The staff were very friendly and the gelato was good. The selection was also quite nice however, I found the quality wasn’t as good as Stella Luna and the prices were a bit high. All in all I probably would go back if I was near it.

A favourite. Consistently great quality. Chocolate Marsala and Fior du Latte are the best in town, period. Not as expensive as others, too. ......

I really enjoy this place, definitely my favorite cafe in Ottawa and one of my favorite gelato places. The staff can be a bit hit or miss but most are friendly and some of them really go above and beyond. The decor is a bit forgettable, but nice enough. It's got a nice window area where you can people watch which is always a plus. Their prices are also super affordable, but not at the expense of the quality of anything they sell.

Lots of delicious flavours to pick from! Friendly staff, and plenty of comfortable seating inside along with a couple of benches outside. Very clean and niche place.

I love this place, not only for their gelato -their crepes and lattes are great! It's a gem for a quick, cheap brunch on the weekend. The only downfall is that it doesn't open until 11am, but it's understandable because it's not very busy in the mornings. That's another draw for me -it's quiet, no lineups etc. I highly recommend.

Absolutely wonderful gelato and there's SO many flavours it's hard to pick! The texture is creamy and milky - not too slushy like some gelato places, and the flavours are just as good as they look. I loved the fior di raspberry. I'm very interested in coming back to try bigger desserts like the crepes with gelato (I've been told it's excellent hangover food), but the gelato itself is very very good.

Great place to grab some gelato on a hot summer day! The crepes with Nutella are also delicious. A bit overpriced. The atmosphere is fun and inviting while the staff is stereotypical young students on their first job.

I had an absolutely fantastic weekend! Our good friend Meredith was visiting from LA and we were fortunate enough to all get together on Friday night for dinner. Being an LA native, Meredith has access to some of the best authentic Mexican food in her revered city.  To make her feel at home, we wanted to take her to local favourite El Camino for tacos and margaritas (El Camino has perfected the margarita, in my opinion).  Unfortunately, it true El Camino fashion, the wait for a table was over 90 minutes long, so we decided to head up the street to Town for dinner.

Gelato is great. I wouldnt come back for the crepes, though. I come here in the summer and after I'm done with ESD down the street. The service is also pleasant.

We were out on a double date and decided to forego the dessert menu at our place of dining for neighbourhood gelato. This is my second visit to Pure Gelato and we were not disappointed. 

My husband and I decided to split a large cup. We thought we were going to have to compromise on flavour (I wanted raspberry, he wanted mango) but to our surprise we were offered a choice of two flavours. Both flavours were true and robust and did not feel artificial in any way. 

The staff was pleasant and upbeat. I enjoy being served by people who genuinely seem happy to be there. The place is bright and there is plenty of seating if you want to hang out. A pleasant experience all around!

After visiting Pancho nearby saw this place and thought of going for desert and coffee.

Took 1 large Gelato, 1 small gelato and one cappuccino. They have an option of taking 3 flavours of you like which we took advantage of. We had lime, after eight, chocolate KitKat, cafe, baccio and one more flavour. All of them were amazing. Nice creaminess with correct amount of sugar. They don't skimp on quantities and even a small is good size.

The cappuccino was a five star.

Would return to Ottawa just for Pure Gelato!!

Love Pure Gelato! This fun, clean, bright, little ice cream bar offers many different flavours including favourites such as Baci, limoncello, Skor and tiramisu, and a host of interesting flavours like green tea.

Staff is friendly and efficient and there is lots of seating.

We love to visit Pure Gelato on a hot day to cool off with some delicious Blood Orange Cream gelato, or with some of their tasty crepes which are really well done.

Pure Gelato is often pretty busy on hot days or late night on weekends, as it is a favourite spot for a treat after a night of drinking. Be patient - it's worth it!

The crepes here are very delicious! Nutella and strawberry is the way to go. Staff were super friendly and provided great fast service even though it was quite busy.
So glad I moved near here!

Avocado ice-cream and Tiramisu cake. Been here twice, and i found myself lucky to get good things at both times. I really love the avocado ice cream but i went back the 2nd time i didnt see it anymore
The tiramisu is such a nice treat. I'm a tiramisu-holic. i've been tasting a lot of tiramisu cake, and this one really amazed me.

Best in Ottawa. Pure Gelato has the best gelato in Ottawa. There's a huge selection of flavours and you can ask to try a little to be sure you like the flavour you're interested in. I always get a fruit flavour, while my husband and kids usually get a chocolate flavour. They are all delicious! We've always had nice service.

Awesome. I feel like I owe this place a debt. As a student at UofO I took huge advantage of this place between classes. I now live in a much bigger Italian community, but haven't found a gelato place as good.

Amazing gelato! I can't remember the name of the flavour, but it tastes just like a Ferro Roche (or Nutella). Price is decent for gelato. Definitely worth a try!!!!

The question of price vs quality.. The gelato is rather good, but a tad on the pricey side which, unfortunately, makes it a place to visit very infrequently.

Amazing. One of the best Gelato I've had. Crepe was light, delicious and buttery, with real whipped cream on the side. Tiramisu flavor to die for. Polite service. Awesome, two thumbs way up.

After my adventure to the Pita Pit , I was still a little hungry.  What better than to follow up a pita with a walk and some desert. I left the Byward Market  and headed down Elgin Street to another one of my favorite places from university, Pure Gelato ( 350 Elgin Street, Ottawa ). Located on the southwest corner at Waverly & Elgin, I visited at 12:15 P.M. to find a group in the front enjoying their gelato goodness.  I wandered over to the display case full of gelato.  I was met there by one employee who said if I wanted a taste or had any questions to just ask.  That is the kind of service you get here at the Pure Gelato, no rush service when the place is not lined up.  I scoured the two display cases full of gelato and narrowed down my choices to one. The Order : 1 Single Scoop of Toblerone & Orange Gelato on a Sugar Cone I handed over $5.00 for the Gelato and left. The Gelato was interesting as I could taste the chocolateness but the orange, not so much.  Don't get me wrong, the Ge

Pure Gelato is a perfect place to stop by and have a sweet treat! Their gelato is made in house and they have an amazing selection of very flavorful gelatos. Their lattes are also delicous. The space is bright and colourful with plenty of seating and free wifi! Would definitely love to return to revisit the friendly staff and scrumptious cones!

I love their coconut flavor but they don't have it anymore in the Elgin location which is very sad! Other than that, i think they do a really good job on the fruit flavors that they make. And even their chocolate flavors are very tasty. You could blindly pick a flavor and I'm almost certain you won't be disappointed!
