Our baby girl had her first strawberry ice cream cone here! She loved it & we loved ours too. I got the latte flavor and salty caramel. It was so flavorful and creamy. I also tried the Latte as well, so good! Our boys got birthday cake (the blue one) they didn’t leave anything behind. Owner was super friendly and very helpful. We really loved this old house and the character it has, you even have a place to sit outside. You won’t be disappointed, lots of flavors to choose from, coffee and nice place to hang out.
Love this place! Great gelato and great coffee! Always a good stop when going through Charleston! All quality and amazing. Mario is an awesome guy and fun to talk to!
Mario is so very talented & friendly..my husband & I feel blessed to find a place like this,we were warmly welcomed & got to enjoy the most amazing coffee & Gelato EVER!..We will come back every time we travel to Charleston..the chestnut & cinnamon gelato are definitely favorites ❤
Delicious little Gelato spot! The person working was super sweet and helpful with suggestions! We ended up so pleased with the affigato with amaretto and the kettle corn, pumpkin and cinnamon flavors. The tiramisu was a close runner up when we tasted it. Lovely place, can't wait to visit again soon! ☕️🍨
We almost stayed in after a long day at the state science fair, but my son wanted "ice cream" to celebrate his achievement so we went back out. Best decision ever. Everything was terrific. Mario, the owner, was wonderful. We talked and tasted several flavors of his amazing gelato before selecting our favorites. We're all extremely sad to be back to almost 5 hours away. If we find ourselves back in Charleston, we'll be back to Cafe Romeo as often as possible. Even if you don't know you need Cafe Romeo, trust me, you do. Just go.
Staff is always super friendly and helpful, the gelato is always amazing (some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had) and the prices are reasonable. My only complaint is you never know what flavors they will have on a particular day but I’ve never had a bad one and variety is the spice of life so it’s not that big of a deal.
We didn't know if we really wanted to go originally - it was late and we had already tried to go to a different ice cream shop only to find it closed. 😢
But, we are so glad the other shop was closed so we discovered Caffe Romeo instead. The gelato was delicious! It was adorable and well presented. Also parking was easy and free unlike anywhere else we had been that day.
If you are looking for great gelato, this is the place! If you are looking for good (or even mediocre) customer service, look elsewhere! We were clearly an inconvenience to the girl that was working here. I was very disappointed especially given all the rave reviews about the customer service, even my kids commented about how incredibly rude she was.

A charming little Cafe where you can have Coffee, pastries and many flavors of Gelato. Very cozy atmosphere with indoor and out door seating.
