San Lorenzo Gelato Brings One of the World's Top 50 Gelatos to Coral Gables
Coral Gables is officially a gelato destination now. San Lorenzo Gelato picked The Plaza Coral Gables for its first U.S. location, and this is not your average scoop shop: their gelato has been ranked among the top 50 in the world, and one taste explains why.
The quick take: world-ranked gelato and stunning pastries by Master Gelataio Brenno Floriano at 128 Sevilla Avenue. My two must-orders are the Coco and the Chocolate Lovers, and yes, there are non-dairy options.

Why San Lorenzo Is a Big Deal
San Lorenzo was created by chef and Master Gelataio Brenno Floriano, who trained at Carpigiani Gelato University in Bologna, the Harvard of frozen desserts. The brand has been ranked among the top 50 best gelatos in the world, and Coral Gables landed its first U.S. shop. Along with a dozen-plus rotating gelato flavors, the case of pastries is dangerous in the best way.
What to Order
- Coco: a coconut pastry with a chocolate outer shell, coconut mousse, a chewy coconut caramel center, and coconut cake. Light, and that caramel center is amazing.
- Chocolate Lovers: hazelnut praline at the bottom, then salted caramel and chocolate ganache. For serious chocolate people only.
- Non-dairy options: yes, they exist and they are genuinely good.
