Chicago · Belmont Cragin

We make gelato the way no one else does.

Small-batch, daily-churned, and rooted in Italian technique — every flavor at Marin is a study in restraint and craft.

The menu

Rotating flavors, constant standards

We change what we offer based on season and ingredient availability. What doesn't change is the quality in every batch.

Dolce & Salato

Rich dark chocolate paired with sea-salt caramel. One tells the story of the other.

Seasonal Fruit

Sorbet made from whole fruit, never concentrate. What the season gives us, we use.

Cold Brew & Coffee

Single-origin cold brew, poured over our house-made espresso gelato. The pairing we're most known for.

Classic Vanilla

Madagascar vanilla beans, whole milk, and a patience most shops don't have. Simple doesn't mean easy.

Pistachio

Bronte pistachios, ground fine. Real nuts, real color, real depth — not a single artificial note.

Signature Cones

Hand-rolled waffle cones, baked fresh each morning. The vessel matters as much as the gelato inside.

Our story

Craft isn't a buzzword here — it's the whole point.

Marin Ice Cream Shop was built on a simple conviction: gelato deserves the same attention that restaurants give to a fine wine list. Every batch is made in-house, every flavor is tasted before it hits the case, and every ingredient is chosen with care.

We've been part of the Belmont Cragin neighborhood for years, and our regulars know us for the flavors they can't find anywhere else. We don't follow trends — we follow what tastes right.

That's why we keep the menu rotating. When a flavor isn't at its peak, it's gone. It's that simple.
