Casa Dolce Gelato & Chocolate
Casa Dolce Gelato & Chocolate has been a neighbourhood favourite in Port Moody for over a decade, known for intensely flavoured gelato and handcrafted chocolate treats. Walk in and you’ll first notice the display case of vibrant gelato, small-batch pints stacked beside rows of truffles, and the smell of freshly tempered dark chocolate. They specialise in traditional Italian-style gelato made daily on-site, with authentic recipes and real ingredients you can taste.
Their menu covers more than scoops. Expect 16 rotating gelato flavours, from classic Stracciatella and pistachio to seasonal creations like honey-lavender and roasted fig. They also sell gelato cakes and semifreddo for events up to 40 guests, single-origin chocolate bars (70% cacao from Ecuador), hand-dipped chocolate bars, and 12-flavour macarons filled with ganache. Coffee is from a local roaster, available as espresso, cappuccino, and affogato. Pints and 500 ml tubs are available for take-home, and they offer allergen-friendly options clearly labelled, including dairy-free sorbets and nut-free cones.
The team at Casa Dolce are makers first. Owner and head gelatiere Marco has 15 years of experience making gelato and trains staff in small-batch production, temperature control, and flavour balance. Staff will happily walk you through flavour pairings, recommend portion sizes for kids, and assemble custom gift boxes for weddings or corporate gifts. The shop itself is cosy, about 800 square feet, with four small tables and outdoor seating facing Moody Centre station, perfect for people-watching.
Locals choose Casa Dolce for honest flavours, predictable quality, and a friendly welcome. They cater neighbourhood birthdays, supply several nearby cafés, and support local events like the annual Port Moody Night Market. Drop by after a walk along the waterfront or call ahead for party orders.
