Pappalecco Gelato Lounge is an eclectic café near Little
Italy in San Diego. It is not a large place but seems to be popular with local
people. There is a few tables inside but an abundance of seats street side. People
pile into the café and make their way to the sidewalk to enjoy the California
sun. All types of visitors and locals make their way to the café in an attempt
to get their morning shot of caffeine or a quick bit to eat.
The storefront may be small but the menu is large. Ranging
from breakfast to evening meals one is sure to find what they are looking for. In
the morning one could opt for Mare, which is eggs, mozzarella, smoke salmon,
zucchini or mixed green salad, or could come in the early evening and walk away
with a pizza. They also have a large selection of cakes, ice cream and other
snacks.
My visit was pleasant. With book in hand, a cup of coffee,
and a Pollo (type of sandwich) I made my way to the street where tables were
easy to find. It is possible to sit, socialize, read, and watch the street
traffic move through. The area is full of people walking around the sidewalk
and locals appear to be friendly and outgoing.
