Gelatys, Italian Gelato on a Stick Review



Fro-yo girl here. I recently walked into Pavilions in South Pasadena, CA, and spotted two freezers near the entrance. One freezer had macaron ice cream sandwiches and the other, Gelatys gelato on a stick. Remember when gelato pop places were popular? Popbar, Stick Station, and Enjoyer were gelato pop places in the Los Angeles area back in the mid-2010s. All three of them offered a froyo pop.

Anyway, Gelatys reminds me of those gelato pop shops only it’s a freezer in a supermarket. The gelato pops are $4.99 each and they come in different shapes, like a cat-shaped pop and a paw-shaped pop. One bar is 2.6 oz. Flavors include Passion Mango, Very Berry, Pistachio Chocotella, etc. There’s only one froyo pop, Yogurt Blueberry.

The pops are made in Miami and are all-natural and gluten-free. Gelatys claims to have created “the first gelato pop in the US.” Their recipe is creamy and doesn’t melt as fast as other pops.




Yogurt Blueberry gelato pop: The pop looked as nice as the picture on the packaging. The blueberry sauce is in the center and drizzled lightly on the front of the pop. It’s not blended into the yogurt gelato. The pop mostly tastes like yogurt gelato but it’s really good yogurt gelato in terms of texture (thick and creamy) and flavor (tangy). It didn’t melt quickly. The blueberry sauce added a bit of tang and flavor. It was better than the yogurt gelato pops that I’ve had in the past from Popbar, Stick Station, and Enjoyer. The pop was 3.5 inches x 2 inches x 1 inch.




One pop is 130 calories, 6g total fat, 17g total sugars, 2g protein, and 19g total carbs. It’s made with whole milk, yogurt, and heavy cream.

You can also use the Product Finder on their website to look for Gelatys near you. They're available at most Pavilions locations.

I hope they come out with more yogurt gelato pop flavors!

5 out of 5 stars.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
