Matteo’s Gelato & Bistro

Lots of flavours to choose from, including a good variety of sugar free or dairy free options. Root Beer Float is my favourite flavour, but all of the ones I’ve tried have been delicious. The best part about Matteo’s though is that they’ll mix and match multiple flavours for you, no matter how many scoops you get. Everyone who works there is always friendly and happy to help you out too. I love supporting this awesome local business!

One of my all time favourite places to come for gelato, located in downtown poco parking is right next door or across the street. Always come during the summer and try every flavour even though I have tried them numerous times before. Great place to bring the kids and really friendly owners

A bit overrated. Gelato a bit too soft. Ok, nothing outstanding.
Asked for mini size for my kid. Once I brought it to cashier and told me that is small and charged me for a small.
I will go again just to try other flavors.
I would go Menchie’s more often though.

Yummy gelato in downtown PoCo. Indoor and patio seating. Regular, dairy free and sugar free gelato. Also, coffee and tea.

I love this little place in my new hometown. There is a great selection of gelatos and some of them are dairy free and/​or sugar free — everyone should be able to find something to obsess over! The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful; often times, suggesting taste tests. I can’t wait to try their other offerings like the paninis and espressos.

Oh my goodness. I wish I hadn’t been in a rush, I would’ve ordered a drink, sat down for longer and realllly enjoyed the experience. Overall, I’m giving them a 4/​5, and below is my breakdown:
Customer Service: ⁴⁄₅ — the two girls who were working that day were both lovely, and more than happy to let my friend and I try different samples whiling explaining to us what their specials were. When I told them that I had a Groupon voucher, they grabbed a phone to scan the barcode and asked me to show them the voucher. I held my phone up and one of them grabbed it to scan it. Didn’t check to see if it was okay, just grabbed it to scan. That was a bit off putting and part of the reason why I didn’t give ⁵⁄₅.
Gelato: ⁵⁄₅ — if I could go back, pay full price and get to eat all of it, I would. Yes, you can believe it. It was absolutely delicious! Barring the hour long commute, I’d be out there as often as I could if I actually physically could.
Ambiance: ⁴⁄₅ — location-​wise, it’s a little in the middle of nowhere; I’m glad I had a GPS. Overall though, the café looked very well maintained and clean. It had a cozy «please sit down and have a cup of tea» feeling to it and I wish I could have stayed longer to fully enjoy it.
If I’m ever in the area, I’d definitely go back! Most definitely would recommend!

So I hear that Bella’s Gelato is all the rage, and I haven’t had the chance to try it (yet). but I don’t think I need to look that much further after trying Matteo’s! Sure, they don’t have lineups down the block, nor do I need to drive 35 minutes and pay for parking DT, but man, they serve a pretty extensive menu of flavors!
Everything is made from scratch, and the 2 girls who were serving us were extremely friendly! 1 was really excited about mixing flavors, and she was showing me her favorites. Whether its in a waffle cone, or a cup, its 4.29 for a small, 4.99 for medium, and 5. xx for a large. I went for the medium, and apparently, you can mix however many flavors you want together! I tried the chocolate peanut, with espresso, and chocolate hazelnut. I think its amazing that they allow you to mix as much as you want — the girl even said one time she filled up a cup with 40 flavors for a customer!
Anyway, its close enough to home, I get to skip the lineups, and I had great service from the girls. Will definitely come back again, and spread the the word! Oh, and in case you’re looking for a cool place to eat, I highly recommend Sushi K Kamizato a few mins drive away in the plaza :)

The best ice cream in the city bar none! Great choice of flavours, from gelato non dairy, rich and creamy to no sugar, all made in house. Love the tiramisu and pistachio best.
Reasonable prices, great service too! Nice for breakfast or lunch too.

O.M.G. My son and girlfriend took me here after dinner one lovely evening in June. The thing is, going ’ out for ice cream’ or gelato in this case, should be a nice experience, and this place does not disappoint. They are wildly popular, for good reason.
The gelato is homemade and beautiful. Too many flavours to mention: new ones, and also traditional Italian ones I haven’t seen since I was a mangecake living in Toronto — Torrone. They have bistro sandwiches and panninis for lunch but we didn’t try them — next time.
But you know what sold me? The great manager and the staff. And, the patio is VERY pet friendly. I wasn’t sure so went in to politely ask — remember this, crazy dog people, not everyone wants to eat next to your dog… BUT they said, of course! and presented me with a bowl of water AND a doggie biscuit. When I went to order a kid’s vanilla gelato he knew it was for our dog and offered a mini one. What a guy.
We sat on the patio and all really enjoyed our treats, me, my son, his GF, and my fur baby.
Thanks!

I can only say
If you’ve never tried Matteo’s fresh fruit gelato, you don’t know what fruit-​flavored gelato is!

Not the best location — the smell of burned diesel on the patio isn’t great — and they lack options besides ice cream (some sandwiches would be great).
That said, they have a plethora of available flavors. You can mix and match and all. They taste good, albeit a bit fatty.
Still a good place to go once in a while.

Awesome flavors! Awesome service!

Good gelato and espresso. Services is good eventhough they’re busy. Will head back there again.

We LOVE Matteo’s! Totally worth the drive … and their current Groupon is enough incentive to get us in the car to make a special trip.
Wonderful family run café.
We have gone for lunch, snake but mostly we go for dessert.
Gelato is delicous and I really appreciate how great they are with my indecisive or overly decisive child (depending on the day) … they will even let him put 3 flavors in his cup (–8
Highly recommended!

The gelato here is awesome. I’ve tried the lemon sorbetto and the chocolate and raspberry gelato. It’s hard to pick a favourite. I hope to work my way thru the varied choices. The selection is amazing. The customer service is excellent.
Last night I tried the chocolate mint and chocolate peanut butter flavours. Dellish.

Fantastic little Coffee Shop and Gelato Parlor. Nice selection of yummy gelato, reasonably priced and very friendly staff. A definite gem in downtown Port Coquitlam.
