Each of their locations features memorable design details like colorful penny tile, playful neon signage, custom ice cream scoop artwork, custom wall graphics to create the perfect balance of youthfulness and refinement.
Gelati Celesti: Town Center
The beloved ice cream shop’s first Hampton Roads location features a custom metal central scooping station and point of sale, helping to create an easy flow of traffic throughout the space. The line for ice cream strategically passes by the brand merch peg wall and take away item fridge, while the dining area stays connected to the staff on the left side of the scooping station.
Glass storefront connects a custom carved out patio section for enjoying cool treats on a warm day and brings in ample natural light. Playful brand colors, pops of neon, and blonde wood tones combine to anchor the Gelati Celesti brand perfectly in it’s Coastal home in Virginia Beach.
Gelati Celesti: Mechanicsville
What originally started as a successful short term pop-up, quickly turned into a permanent location for Gelati Celesti. The Mechanicsville location takes advantage of high ceilings in an entrance atrium space and ample natural light to highlight signature brand moments like the large scale ice cream scoop, milk jar pendants and vibrant pink and blue accents. Take home pints, pies, and cakes are strategically places along the waiting queue and branded merch is front and center as you navigate to the point of sale. Warm wood tones, pink penny tile, and colorful chairs combine to make you feel as delightful as the ice cream tastes!
Gelati Celesti: The Truck
Supporting events and catering all year long, the Gelati Celesti Ice Cream Truck can be seen from blocks away. It combines beloved brand language with signature graphic details to create a vibrant experience that’s nearly as immersive as being inside one of Gelati’s brick and mortar shops. Operable windows and menu signage was a key consideration so the truck looks great when it’s open for business or parked and waiting for it’s next adventure.
