Melt Gelato and Crepe Cafe, located in the Town Center area of Virginia Beach, was the recent location of chat fest with my friend Brandi. Neither of us have ever had crepes or gelato before so this was a completely new experience for the both of us.
We both ordered sweet crepes with a scoop of gelato. At Melt, you can sample the gelato before making a decision — but we both decided to order the first thing we tasted! I ordered a Nutella crepe with a scoop of toasted coconut almond fudge gelato (as pictured on the left). Brandi ordered a Strawberry Royale crepe with a scoop of strawberry cheesecake gelato (pictured on the right).
It was sooo delicious! My crepe was soft and thin, and really, who doesn’t love Nutella? The gelato was wonderfully creamy and dreamy. The almonds added a nice texture, since everything was soft. The coconut flavor was deep and satisfying and didn’t taste artificial at all. Brandi gave her meal a thumbs up as well!
We each paid about $10-12 (we ordered coffee as well), which was well-worth it. The staff was very friendly and the service was very quick. Before we left, we were already planning what we were going to order next time! Perhaps one of the savory crepes!

I love Melt! I always order the Nutella crepe + a gelato sampler. I sound like a huge heffer but I also have yet to try their savory crepes. Mmm, might just have to swing by this weekend!
I can’t believe this was your first visit to Melt. I’ve been a big fan of crepes since the family trip to Germany 2 years ago. Can’t go wrong with nutella and some kind of fruit, but the savory ones are delicious as well. The Norwegian and Parisian crepes from the menu are good but you can always custom your own with a nice ham and cheese.
I’ve got a club melt card burning a whole in my pocket, 1 away from a free gelato and 3 away from a free crepe! Why do I have to live so far away!
