OUR STORY
where it all started
Capri Gelato & Coffee Bar was born on a little island off of the Amalfi Coast called Capri. It is a land of fragrant lemon trees and the perfect coastal breeze as well as the best gelato in the world.

Our mission
We set out to bring a taste of Capri to California. The first Capri Gelato was served at the 2019 Golden Globe Awards. We returned to serve the stars again at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards where we launched our espresso cart. We continue to cater for clients like Amazon, Snapchat, and Gucci.
​
Once our events business grew, we decided to open our first Capri Gelato & Coffee Bar in Marina Del Rey. Despite the pandemic, we grew to be a favorite spot for locals to grab a coffee or treat themselves to our delicious gelato.
