Gelly's Jardin was one of the highlights of our one week stay in Atenas. We went every day and order 2 grande gelatos. The customer service was extremely friendly and the gelato was excellent. The gelato was as good as I have tasted in Italy. You must stop at Gelly's multiple times during your time in Atenas!

Many different delicious flavors. They also have fruit ice creations and sugar free options. Wonderful! And very reasonable around $1-3 for small-large.

We are Gelato Maniacs, and this place has the real deal. I spoke with the owner ( who also does magic tricks)....as I matter of fact, he made my money disappear quickly once we started tasting the goods! He has a real Italian guy from Italy, who makes the gelato in San Jose. The flavors vary from week to week,... More

When we first moved to Atenas over three months ago, Gelly's quickly became our haven. Perched a half a level above the street and overlooking Parque Central, it is one of the best spots to watch life happen in our little town. The ice cream and sorbets are deliscious, as are the cafe con leches and chocolates calientes. The food... More

Gelly's is a godsend to our little country town of Atenas. They make their gelato fresh with fun and delicious flavors, like Bailey's (as in Bailey's Irish Cream), Oreo cookie, fudge brownie, mango, passionfruit, coconut, lemon pie, strawberry cheesecake ... and on and on. They usually have at least 2 dozen flavors to choose from, which is difficult because they... More

This is the spot to go for a break from town heat and busy-ness. Free wifi, wonderful coffee and ice cream. It's where we go for lite fare. You can sit back and people watch as it is right by the park. Family owned and operated, and a wonderful family to visit. True Costa Rica charm.

Gelly's is located across the street from the park on the east side. It's on the upper level so you have a great view of the street and park. Perfect for people watching! My husband had the chicken lasagna and I had the molettes. Both were very tasty. The menu is diverse so you're sure to find something to fit... More

The people who own Gelly's are truly unique and wonderful. The husband is a world class magician, his name is Alex. The way that his artist wife, Roxana decorated this place and the personal touch that they give are the BEST. They have some unusual things that are hard to find...a great variety of EXCELLENT Italian Gelato (at a surprisingly... More

Especially my daughter loves to visit Gellys - for her Pizza (Personal - 1.200 Colones / $2,40 and exactly the right size for a small girl) and 'her' Nutella ice cream. While she is playing with recently met new friends at the attached green area I prefer to have a cup of Capucchino ( 800 Colones / $ 1,60 )... More

This is one of the greatest spots in Atenas, with its specialties that are the coffe, awesome capuccinos and lattes but If you´re looking for something to eat, one of the things you cannot miss trying are the "molletes" very delicious and filling. This is a great place to seat and read or also enjoy the view and the wi-fi... More
