Caffe Stellato

Tasty & fresh sandwiches, fair pricing for this area. Wide selection for gelato. A gem of a hole-in-the-wall spot. Highly recommend!

I did not expect walking into a gelato shop and having such an amazing experience. They had sandwiches so we decided to grab some before having gelato. We got the mafioso and calabrese sandwiches. The staff were nice enough to let us try a variety of their gelato, all super tasty. I’ll definitely be going back to try more of their sandwiches and gelato.

Great gelato, delicious sandwiches, fantastic service! Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for a little gelato and Italian sandwich pick me up. Both were delicious. I had the cookies and cream gelato which was perfectly sweet and ultra creamy. The sandwich was really the star of the show though. Delicious and crispy Dutch crunch paired with creamy mozzarella, sharp flavors from the cold cuts and peoperoncinis, and freshness from the veg. Flavor bomb. My new favorite sandwich spot in the area! Mike who was slinging the subs was also super friendly and great to talk to. This place is legit!

It's a shame this little gem is located at the edge of the food district next to Stanford. There's a great variety of gelato flavors. Not sure about their sandwich/food offering because we went for their gelato. Gelato is full of flavor and they give a generous portion. The staff was very friendly and patient waiting for us to make our decision. Will definitely visit again when we're in the area

Caffe Stellato, arguably the best money can buy Italian gelato, sorbet, and sandwiches in Palo Alto, imports everything from Italy. Friends and family from Milan have raved about its quality, comparing it favorably to places in Italy. The gelato is creamy, delicious, and bursting with flavor without being overpowering. The pistachio gelato is filled with real hazelnuts, and the espresso gelato tastes authentic and strong. The sorbet is equally impressive, capturing the essence of its flavors. The raspberry sorbet is a must-try. They also have a delicious passionfruit sorbet that many places don’t have. But the sandwiches are where Cafe Stellato truly shines. The “speziale” sandwich is nothing short of delicious. Students can get a special Stanford sandwich for just $9.99. In contrast, places like Subway charge $13.99 for their sandwiches. Why not offer authentic Italian food and gelato at the same price? The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to explain what you’re getting and recommend dishes that cater to your preferences, such as vegetarian options. Cafe Stellato is a must-try, and I’ll definitely be returning.
