The Gelato Lab wasn't born from a business plan. It was born from a belief — that people in Round Rock deserved real gelato. Not a chain's version. Not a premade base poured into a machine. Authentic, handcrafted gelato made the Italian way: from scratch, in small batches, with ingredients you can actually name.
We're a family-owned shop. We run every part of this business ourselves — the recipes, the sourcing, the scooping, the community relationships. That's not a marketing line. It's just how we work.


Why Ingredients Matter to UsWe source our chocolate from the Ecuadorian Rainforest — one of the world's finest cacao regions. Our pistachio gelato is made with real pistachio paste, not flavoring. Our dairy-free sorbettos use real fruit, not concentrate.
We don't use premade bases. Every recipe is built from the ground up in our Round Rock kitchen. We do this because we believe the difference between real gelato and everything else is precisely this: the commitment to starting from scratch.
Authentic Italian gelato is churned slower than American ice cream. Less air. More density. More flavor. That's the technique we use — the same one perfected in Italy over centuries — because it produces a better result in every scoop.
We're not a gelato-themed ice cream shop. We're a gelato shop.


We're proud to be part of the Round Rock community. We believe a great local dessert shop should be more than a place to buy a scoop — it should be a gathering place. A neighborhood staple. Somewhere you bring your family after a Little League game at Dell Diamond, or on a slow Sunday afternoon at Old Settlers Park.
We're here for the long run, whether you call it gelato or ice cream — we just call it the best scoop in Round Rock. And we're grateful for every customer who has supported us since we opened.Why Ingredients Matter to UsWe source our chocolate from the Ecuadorian Rainforest — one of the world's finest cacao regions.
