Gelato making and serving requires a few accessories. There are gelato spatula, cups, gelato spoons, and containers.

Special spatula are required for serving gelato, whether at your home or gelato shop. Unlike ice cream, gelato is not homogenized, and so the product melts faster. A regular ice cream scooper will not hold the softer gelato in a uniform consistency. A spatula, on the other hand, will maintain the gelato in a good serving size.

If you are planning on selling gelato commercially, you will also need serving cups and spoons. The serving cups are usually provided in three sizes and in a wide variety of colors. Spoons, whether for eating with or just tasting, also come in a wide variety of colors. Both the serving cups and spoons are made of plastic.

You may also obtain small styrofoam containers for customers who wish to purchase additional gelato to take home. These containers are made entirely of insulating styrofoam, with a top lid onto which you can fasten your store logo or the gelato nutritional information.
