Caffe Gelato in North Canton, Ohio is an intimate cafe modeled on cozy shops found in Italy, hence the spelling of “café.” Not only do they serve the coffee drinks and teas one would expect, but also tasty, freshly prepared meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In addition, their desserts–freshly prepared by talented local bakers–are difficult to pass up. The cafe gets its name, however, from the gelato they offer. This unique, frozen Italian treat comes in an ever-shifting variety of flavors. The friendly staff are happy to offer samples to help the customer decide which gelato they prefer. The owners support local art by hanging it on the wall and making the pieces available for purchase. The lights are kept low, the walls are painted burgundy and the floors are made of wood, all of which creates a quiet, comfortable space to read, study or simply relax from the bustle of life for a few hours. The café, once a residential house, offers outdoor seating in the form of couches and plush chairs on a porch, as well as many tables and chairs along a brick-lined sidewalk. Sometimes, the quiet mood is deliberately broken with music, either during the open mic night on Thursdays or the occasional show on Saturdays. At any time, however, Caffe Gelato offers good service, food and drinks at reasonable prices.
