STAYING OPEN AND KEEPING IT SAFE

To our loyal Gelato Paradiso community,
During this uncertain time, Gelato Paradiso wants our guests to know that we will remain in service to our guests as an open take-out and delivery venue. We take the health and well-being of our customers and employees very seriously.

The following practices are in place at each of our locations:
⦿
Guests will be asked to follow the 6 feet of social distancing in the store.
⦿
Our employees are implementing extraordinary sanitary practices in addition to our already strict standard cleansing practices. This includes wiping and sanitizing every touched surface after every guest transaction.
⦿
We have canceled samples temporarily. Rest assured our gelato is fresh and delicious. Our recipes are free of artificial ingredients, so our flavor profiles are truthful.
⦿
Our patio seating is temporarily closed to ensure we remain a truly take-out and delivery venue.
⦿
We will offer delivery through Uber Eats and Grubhub.
⦿
Our touch screen loyalty screen and credit card swiper will be either solely operated by our baristas or will be wiped down with sanitizing solution after every transaction.
⦿
We are limiting our hours of operation. Please visit gelatoparadiso.com for our latest local shop updates.
⦿
We would like to thank you for your continued loyalty and patience at this time. We appreciate our customers and we hope we can bring a little joy through gelato to each of you.
