Artisen Gelato

About

Artisen Gelato is the dairy free gelato shop in downtown Matthews, co-owned by Manolo Betancur of Manolo’s Bakery. Everything is made with coconut milk, so the entire shop is vegan and gluten free. Sorbets, baked goods and coffee sit alongside the gelato. The shop is a place with a mission as much as a menu. The shop is small and bright, and downtown Matthews around it is worth a wander once you have finished your cup.

Betancur gives tours explaining how dairy free gelato gets this rich.
The gelato is also served at Manolo’s on Central Avenue.
