Welcome to Mangiamo Gelato Caffe!
At Mangiamo Gelato Caffe on Main Street in Huntington Beach, they
make fresh, delicious, Italian style ice cream and coffee right in their
store every day, using only the highest quality ingredients. They also
offer catering! For those that haven't had the pleasure of trying Gelato, it
is an Italian frozen dessert that differs from ice cream in its
ingredients, consistency, flavor and calories. In fact, our Gelato has up
to 70% less fat than regular ice cream! They open on the 4th of July....
