Julietta Gelato is expanding into Jersey City Heights, with plans to open a small cafe and move its gelato production to 413 Central Avenue. The cafe will serve gelato, coffee, and pastries, and the gelato itself will be made on-site in small batches.
According to Hoboken Girl, Julietta confirmed it is expanding with the new Heights location, where the team plans to move its gelato production and open a small cafe out front. No opening date has been announced for the new spot yet, the outlet reports.
A Second New Jersey Address for the Italian Gelato Brand
The Jersey City Heights location will mark Julietta's second New Jersey location, following the brand's Hoboken shop, which soft opened at 423 Washington Street on February 20, 2025. That Hoboken debut was Julietta's first foothold in the Garden State, after the brand got its start in New York City with locations in the West Village and Midtown. Julietta has also shown up at local Hoboken events and festivals, including Hoboken Girl's women's networking event.
The move to 413 Central Avenue will shift production into the Heights while keeping a retail presence up front. The same account notes that gelato will continue to be made in small batches on-site, consistent with how the brand has described its process at its existing locations.
What's On the Menu
Julietta is known for small-batch gelato made with Italian recipes and locally sourced ingredients. On its website, Julietta describes its gelato as crafted in small batches using authentic Italian recipes, locally sourced ingredients, and the freshest dairy, with classic flavors like pistachio and stracciatella alongside vegan and seasonal options.
Beyond gelato, Julietta's menu includes coffee, pastries, affogatos, gelato milkshakes, and other cafe favorites. Those offerings are expected to carry over to the Jersey City Heights cafe, which the Julietta team has said will serve gelato, coffee, and pastries out of the storefront while production moves to the same address.
