Are you after a two-person tub, a pint built around less usual flavor combinations, or a freezer-ready box with cones included? These five Dubai gelato makers and parlours answer different versions of that question. The guide compares what each listed price actually buys; it is not a blind tasting or a claim that one style beats another. Prices and menus were checked on 7 October 2026.

| A flavor-led pint | Gelato Del Mar | 16oz (385g/487ml) for AED70; a flavour of your choice | Green apple-ginger, sour cherry with dark chocolate and smoky s’mores sit beside classics; the menu says it carries at least five vegan options. |

Five ways to make the order
Cremeria Opera — a small tub with room to mix
Cremeria Opera’s 500g tub costs AED110 and lets you choose up to three flavors. The operator calls it “ideal for two people,” which makes it a more useful starting point than a vague family-size label. Its current chooser includes vanilla, pistachio, tiramisu, Dubai Chocolate, mango, lemon and passion fruit, among others. The fruit flavors are described by the seller as lactose-free; that is a product claim, not a guarantee of an allergen-free kitchen or cross-contact control.
If two people want different things, choose three flavors and split the tub. If you already know you want more, the 1kg tub is AED195. Cremeria lists shops at DAMAC Maison Canal Views in Business Bay and Golden Mile Galleria on Palm Jumeirah, and offers delivery within Dubai with an address and delivery-slot check at checkout. The flavor selector also includes seasonal options, so check the live list before ordering.

Gelato Del Mar — when you want a flavor beyond vanilla
The Umm Suqeim 2 Deliveroo menu lists a 16oz pint (385g/487ml) for AED70. Its more unusual combinations include green apple with ginger, sour cherry with dark chocolate, smoky s’mores, mascarpone with raspberry and roasted pistachio, and gianduja, alongside vanilla and milk chocolate. The menu also says at least five vegan options are available; ask which flavors those are when ordering, since the live selection can change.
For a group, the same menu lists 0.5kg for AED85 with up to three flavors, or 1kg for AED175 with up to four. Those are different formats from the pint, so choose the portion and flavor count that fit the occasion rather than comparing price alone. The listing says the branch opens at 1pm and was closed when checked; delivery availability depends on the address and live ordering window. A temporary selected-item offer appeared on the page but is not counted as a regular price here.

La Famiglia Gelato — cones included for the group
La Famiglia’s half-kilo box is AED80, with up to three flavors and three large or eight mini cones. Step up to the 1kg Family Treat Box at AED155 for up to six flavors and six large or 16 mini cones; the 1.5kg Party Box is AED230, while the 2kg bundle is AED299. If you are serving several people, the included cones and the wider flavor allowance are part of the offer, not extras to remember after choosing a tub.
Its current site gives a Nad Al Sheba address and separate delivery-service links for Sobha Hartland and JVC branches, each with listed delivery areas. Choose the correct branch and confirm your map pin before relying on a delivery estimate. The seller’s flavor descriptions include Sicilian-pistachio gelato; ingredients and allergen details should be checked on the product or with the operator, especially when ordering for someone with a dietary restriction.

Gelateria La Romana — a take-home box that arrives with accompaniments
The current Dubai delivery menu lists its “Medium Discovery” vascetta at 600g for AED110 with two flavors, two small waffle cones and two “coninis” (the listing’s term, without a description). A 1kg box is AED170 with four flavors, four cones and four coninis; 1.25kg is AED200 with five flavors, six cones and four coninis. That makes La Romana useful when you want the gelato and a few ways to serve it together. The extras are included in these listed box products.
The operator’s Dubai locator confirms its Nakheel Mall shop and also lists Dubai Festival City, Nad Al Sheba Mall, First Avenue Mall, Dubai Hills Mall, Bluewaters and Mirdif City Centre. The AED prices above come from a delivery menu labelled JBR, not a universal in-store tariff; check the branch and address selected in the app before checkout. If you are visiting, use the official store locator for the current outlet details.

Gelatocraft — a dessert for someone counting protein
Gelatocraft’s protein line makes the nutrition figure part of the product choice: each 150g tub is advertised as containing 30g of protein. The current page lists the 5-tub starter pack at AED175 (AED35 per tub); orders between pack sizes are AED40 per tub, and direct orders have a five-tub minimum. Flavors currently listed include hazelnut chocolate, pistachio chocolate, tahini latte, karak, vanilla and strawberry cheesecake. Some flavors are marked unavailable, so confirm the selection before paying.
This is a specialized purchase, not a low-calorie or dairy-free substitute. The ingredient panels list milk, buffalo whey and egg whites for several flavors, and the operator says the protein gelato is halal certified while its wider menu is still being phased into certification. If you want an unusual flavor without ordering several tubs, its separate Bella Tahini bonbons are four-piece gelato-filled boxes from AED80; they are a different product and price from the protein range.
The brand says direct delivery is available across most of Dubai, with availability and timing checked after sending an address. Its current Deliveroo menu lists single 150g cups at AED40 and a five-cup bundle at AED175, so that is the clearest route to try one; direct orders have a five-tub minimum and a lower pack price. Both routes depend on the selected delivery area and live stock.

Before you order
The most useful comparison is the unit: a 487ml pint, a 500g shared tub, a cone-inclusive party box and a five-pot protein order are not equivalent servings. Check the live flavor list, branch, delivery area and total at checkout. Menu stock and prices can change, and the dietary claims above describe only what each seller publishes; ask the operator about ingredients and cross-contact if that affects your order.
