They were the First place winner for Technical Jury & People’s choice Award in the 2012 Florence Italy Gelato Festival. Best Gelato I have tasted so far. If you are in Vancouver, you have to go there!

I love the coconut milk ice cream! I am looking forward to them opening their new place in Yaletown! The owner is very friendly and obviously has a real passion for what he does. Ice cream is a little on the pricey side but they source only the best, organic ingredients.

I was returning to my hotel from a walk downtown and was keeping my eye out for something for a light snack. came upon this small spot with many accolades on the door and as I enjoy gelato more than ice cream, i was happy to have found bella gelateria.

It's a sunny day in the Vancouver waterfront area. Perfect time for bella gelateria. With flavours like pecan maple syrup and salted hazelnut, you'll find an amazing treat! The gelato maker specialized in alcohol infused chocolate as well, at the university in italy where he also won 1st place 2012 for his gelato. A must try.

The expense of the ice cream was well worth it, as we were... More

James, you are so generous with your time! The pack of Aussies you just met felt so privileged that you made your gewurztraminer sorbetto for us the day we arrived. It was sublime and just like champagne, you could have it at breakfast, lunch and dinner and when you are hungry or thirsty or frankly any time! You are a... More

James Coleridge is truly an artisan gelato creator. He uses old-world process in an industrial world to craft a palate-pleasing experience. I could not decide on what flavour to chose - in the end I had the Lemoncello Cheesecake. It tasted like heaven on earth. I've been to Italy and tried many gelatos, but none as amazing as this.

I just came back from Bella Gelateria. WOW! WOW! WOW! I'm not sure if I just died and went to heaven, but Maestro James' Espresso La Futura and Chocolate & Amarena Cherries combination sure made me feel like I was right there in the face of divinity. It's no wonder they won first place in the 2012 Florence Firenze Gelato... More
