La Gelatteria is well-known for its gelato, but MMC-TV got the scoop on everything the Kensington cafe has to offer. Owner Elias Montilla, following world travels and many years of working in coffee shops, brought his passion for food and coffee together when opening his cafe just off Knowles Avenue. Montilla and his family currently reside in Kensington and knew it was the perfect place to open his dream business.
La Gelatteria has all day brunch, a full coffee menu, and of course, gelato. Montilla recently received a liquor license and now also proudly serves boozy drinks and cocktails. It has become a place for gathering while feeling at home—whether meeting a friend, bringing family, or coming to work (and dine) remotely. The lower seating level of the cafe is also sometimes used as an event space.
