Pitango Gelato Cafe - Calumet-Norvelt

The Gelato is really good. The space is fairly distressed and has limited seating. Bathrooms had no toilet paper. If you are a 20 something college kid this is probably right up your alley. My suggestion is they clean the place up a bit it doesn't have to be distressed to have character.

Great coffee, sorbet, ambience! Heads up they do not accept cash.

The outdoor seating area would be wonderful if they didn't let selfish smokers (to make a distinction between courteous ones) ruin it.

I visited Pitango in mid day on Tuesday.I had the best time enjoying very solid cappuccino, galato and Breakfast croissant .Maybe unusual mix for 1.30 pm :)Cappuccino is just wonderful!Strong and creamy and just perfect size.The ceramic mug was just big enough for me to enjoy the sunny spring day and not to big to make me feel like I consumed buckets of caffeine. I had a small cup of Gelato with it.Now, consistency was just amazing.Super creamy and thick. My chocolate-hazelnut was just to die for although I didn't enjoy raspberry flavor as much.When first flavor was just packed with aroma, cream, nuts and chocolate, raspberry was pretty uneventful. Rather flat without any strong flavor I could hang my taste buds onto it.Very mild, indistinguishable when I was looking for tangy, rich raspberry extravaganza.I will say it was easy flavor what didn't hit the spot.Breakfast croissant on another hand hit the spot double time!First of all, size is out of this world.I had to open up the sandwich, so I could manage without getting my dress into dry cleaning mode.Croissant was super crispy and beautiful, inside flaky and doughy. Egg cooked to perfection with thick, deep yellow yolk spilling into croissant and thick bed of arugula. Amount of prosciutto was very satisfying if not overwhelming.I also think there was a pesto or some sauce in the sandwich, however it could be the yolk mixed up with goodness of all.Swrvice was very kind and relaxed as well.I couldn't be happier with the meal.Giving 4 stars only because raspberry Gelato fall short. Otherwise it would be solid 5 stars. Parking: I was able to find street parking due to time of the day . 1.30 pm)It is very hard to park on the street after 5pm.There is a paid parking lot around the corner if needed.

High prices, tasty food, sluggish staff. Tables rarely wiped down, garbage overflowing.
