Cafe Frutta Fresca Gelato – Authentic Artisanal Gelato & Italian Treats in Sneads Ferry, NC

This establishment is a gift to all that visit or taste the treats produced by the owner. She is classically trained Gelato maestro and she is a master of her craft. We have been enjoying her treats for 10 years and e en though we don't live in the area anymore, we still make special trips to visit the shop in Sneads Ferry and even make special arrangement to get our hands on some of that delicious Gelato. Our favorites are Pistachio, Chocolate Hazelnut, Coconut, Chocolate, also Mango Sorbet. In shop, we recommend the chicken and waffles and the macaroons. Crepes are great. She also offers classes for those who want to learn to make pizzas and sorbets.

Nice little place that's just getting off the ground. Location is interesting. Staff was nice and it's the only place around to get stuff like gelato, macarons, and biscotti, which were all excellent! The display case is one of a kind. Didn't try any hot food; not sure if they were serving any at the time.

The blueberry cheesecake was amazing as were all the flavors. This is off the beaten path but worth the trip. The Gelato is made there and they have different flavors that you will not find at most ice cream shops.

I have been waiting to go and test the gelato for a while. It was worth the wait! The gelato tastes the way I remember it from Italian ice cream parlors, flavorful and creamy. I had the plum balsamic, and it was great, and of course, the chocolate was equally wonderful. The owner, Lisa, is super hospitable and takes the time to really give you a little insight by sharing her story. Both the owner and the gelateria are worth the visit. See and taste for yourself!

Excellent customer service, very nice people. Amazing Gelato as well as homemade pizza and crepes! A must go to place if your in or around Sneads Ferry N.C.

Cafe Frutta Fresca was literally the most immersive and exquisite scoop of heaven during my brief stay in this quaint beach town! I ordered the Fig pizza and it came out crafted in the shape of a heart drizzled with in house balsamic glaze. Organic Figs and arugula and the medley of cheese was the perfect blend for me! I also ordered a large Gelato with the watermelon sorbet paired with the papaya gelato the perfect treat to combat the summers relentless heat. The flavors are so vibrant and tropical I see why they give you small spoons so that you can savor each drop of the gelato! The Selection of Gelatos are hand Crafted artisanal marvels with eclectic and classic flavors sure to soothe the pickiest eaters! All the staff is so knowledgeable about the array of products! They recently had their three year anniversary and the owner Was there actually hand spinning cotton candy as a part of the celebration! It feels incredible to know that this is a establishment backed by its community! The Service, The Cleanliness, The Flavors! Everyone greets you with a genuine smile that is welcoming and inviting! (You can feel the smile behind the Mask ) I heard about Cafe Frutta Fresca through a friend and despite it being in the opposite direction of my intended destination it’s far surpassed my expectations! Cafe Frutta Fresca makes Surf City one of my favorite travel destinations hands down!

The food and desserts were amazing!!! I'll definitely come again. The people are super nice and awesome!!!!!!!
