Pitango Gelato & Coffee

Pitango Gelato & Coffee is an ice cream shop in Alexandria, VA. The business specializes in authentic Italian gelato, sorbet, and coffee, serving the local community with products crafted from simple, natural ingredients. They also offer custom gelato cart services for events.

Founded in 2006 by Noah Dan, this family-owned business is inspired by the flavors of Trieste, Italy. Pitango utilizes organic milk from grass-fed Jersey cows and prepares sorbets using whole, fresh fruit rather than prepared mixes. Every batch of gelato and sorbet is churned on-site at each shop to ensure peak freshness, and all products are free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. In addition to gelato, the shop features custom espresso, drip, and cold brew coffee blends created in collaboration with Vigilante Coffee.

Located on S Union St, the shop is situated near Waterfront Park and King Street Park at the Waterfront. It is a short walk from the Torpedo Factory Art Center, the historic Carlyle House, and the public artwork known as The Ship Builder, within the Captains Row neighborhood.

Pitango Gelato & Coffee is recognized for its commitment to quality and its use of premium, imported ingredients, such as Italian nuts and single-origin chocolates. The business maintains a reputation for excellence through its dedication to honest ingredients and meticulous attention to detail.

With a focus on authentic flavors and fresh production, Pitango Gelato & Coffee remains a premier destination for dessert and coffee lovers in Alexandria.
