Tucked away in the San Fernando Valley, I stumbled upon this little gem called Anita Gelato, and seriously, I get the hype now. If LA’s scorching summer heat is getting to you, this is your go-to place. When I asked my NY friends they all knew about it, as it’s already a craze in NY as well.
Drive by their spot in Tarzana on Ventura Boulevard any day, and you’re bound to see a sea of people queued up, all waiting for their turn. No joke, it’s *that* popular. And it’s not just us regular folks—Selena Gomez, Carly Rae Jepsen, and even Noah Schnapp from Stranger Things have been spotted digging into a scoop or two in one of Anita Gelato’s locations.
Here’s the deal: They make everything in-house, from gelato and sorbets to waffles, and they’re big on quality. I mean, have you tried gelato made with the freshest cream and high-grade chocolate? And the flavor range is insane. From tasty creations like Cappuccino with Butter Cookies and Crumble Cheesecake with Mix Berries to more out-of-the-box ones like Pavlova & Mixed Berries and Loaker Hazelnut Wafers, there’s something for every taste bud.
But here’s the kicker. No weird artificial taste. Just pure, creamy goodness. Honestly, the combination of their amazing desserts and the super chill staff will make you want to return again and again. So next time you’re hunting for a summer treat in LA, you know where to head. *Wink*.
