Pitango Gelato & Coffee, Penn Quarter

I was strolling through Penn Quarter after a late happy hour with colleagues when I spotted Pitango Gelato DC, a cozy artisan gelato shop tucked right in downtown. I thought I’d just peek at the flavors out of curiosity with no plans to actually get anything. Well… that plan didn’t last long. The menu featured some of my favorites like passionfruit, mojito, and a floral hibiscus combo that immediately caught my eye. I figured a few taste tests couldn’t hurt, right? After sampling a few, I was completely sold. I planned to go with passionfruit and hibiscus until Grace, one of the amazing staff members, suggested I try the golden kiwi. It was bright, refreshing, and so unique that I changed my order on the spot. Shout out and thank you to Grace and the Saturday night Pitango team for bein

We stopped here last year during a trip and knew we want to come back. 1 year later we walked the extra mile passing several coffee and ice cream stops knowing what a great place this is. Best cappuccino and gelato in town! Kudos to the owner! He knows customer service and has an amazing personality and spirit.

My friend and I found this place before we left to come back to Detroit tonight. The sipping chocolate is something I have not seen since I visited Barcelona and it was wonderful. The gelato and sorbet were all delicious. The service was top tier too. Appropriately priced compared to quality. Highly recommend

Great place before and after going to the Arena or even being around DT. Gelato and uniquely roasted coffee. Staff was kind and efficient - worth a visit!

Friendly, professional service. That said, gelato was served in a very soft melting state where it was messy to eat. Also, although the dish size was the same as other D.C. gelato places we visited, the serving size was significantly smaller.
