Gelato,as produced in Italy, has a much higher fat content, than American "ice cream", and therefor, is known for its richness! So, for the real vote, on this wonderful treat, is to make sure that it is actually gelato, and not, ice cream!!! Easily done, by "mouth feel!"

My favorite fall treats are at Graham's 318. Not just the apple cider gelato but the apple pumpkin bread, etc. There's always something there for me!

Oh my!! Just "thinking" about that short 45 minutes trip to 318 makes my mouth water!!! Fall = apple cider gelato.....

For any holiday treat, Graham's 318 is ALWAYS my favorite! Apple Cider Gelato... YUM!!

Graham's 318 is THE BEST!

318 is way better all around! Atmosphere included!

Graham's 318 is all around great. Apple Cider is a great gelato, but there's always at least 3 or 4 that are really amazing.

Graham's 318 is the BEST!

EVERYTHING is great at Graham's 318! One of my favorite places in Geneva, i love the patio, sitting in front of the fire, or hanging on the porch with friends. Geneva charm at its best!

Graham's 318 has the best gelato around. Their apple cider gelato is to die for. A must try. Everything at 318 is awesome!

318 has the best EVERYTHING, food, staff AND gelato. The Apple Cider is out of this world!

Graham's 318 and the original Graham's are the only stop when it comes to sweets!! There is NO comparison!! :)

I vote for Pumpkin Spice Gelato at the All Chocolate Kitchen

Its gotta be Grahams 318!!!

Grahams 318's gelato is the best!!! I wouldn't have it anywhere else

The pumpkin spice gelato at the All Chocolate Kitchen has to be my favorite! It is like a party in my mouth tasting like a creamy spiced pumpkin pie!! :)

Grahams 318 is amazing! The apple pie gelato is so good!

My husband, Tomas Morales, is one of the Gelato Chefs at Graham's 318.
Kudos to Rick and Matt too! ;)

Grahams 318 is the best! They are the masters of gellato and chocolate. I have been a 318 fan since the day they opened! I vote for Grahams 318!

Love, love, love it at Grahms 318!!!!

The gelato at the All Chocolate Kitchen is the only gelato that I've ever had in the States that can bring me back to my trip to Italy. The pumpkin spice is just one of their most mouth-watering flavors!

Graham's is Geneva's Best.

318 gelato is hands down my favorite!

nothing beats the true gelato from the all chocolate kitchen, the best in town! i am instantly transported to milan where i first experienced gelato.

Gelato at 318 is the best-but so is everything at 318!! Graham's has my vote!

Graham's gelato is amazing! Authenticity is so important and Graham's 318 is as authentic as it gets outside of Italy. Apple Cider Gelato all the way!

All Chocolate Kitchen, often imitated, never duplicated!

Graham's 318 rocks! Why would anyone go anywhere else?!? :-)

This is a snide and petty article overall. Its hard for me to believe that there are gelato "masters" working at Graham's, as opposed to The All Chocolate Kitchen, owned and run by world renowned Chef Alain Roby who has been in the business for more than 35 years and started his culinary career in France. Furthermore, Chef Roby's wife and business partner is a native born Roman who certainly knows gelato from "gelato". Comparing two such completely different flavors is as pointless as directly comparing the two establishments. Comparing like flavors would have created a much more accurate poll, especially considering the wide array of products offered at each location, one a cozy coffee house, the other, an elegant European dessert bar. Each vendor has their own unique ambiance, product selection and accolades. Siting wikipedia, REALLY?!?!?! Why not reference bona fide culinary resources such as "The New Food Lover's Companion" for example? To further dispel the misinformation from wiki, gelato is dairy based and sorbeto is water and fruit puree based. This article only creates animosity. The All Chocolate Kitchen and Graham's each have plenty to offer, both residents and visitors. By the way, I prefer the All Chocolate Kitchen's Pumpkin Spice Gelato for its authenticity, texture and fresh ingredients.

LOL I JUST LIKE FOOD

I absolutely love Graham's 318's apple cider gelato! Another great seasonal gelato that they offer is pumpkin gelato.

Spoons down! All Chocolate Kitchens Pumpkin takes the Golden Gelato Cup!

There's plenty of room in Geneva for both All Chocolate Kitchen and Graham's 318. Sometimes the decision is as simple as which establishment you're closer to at a given moment. Vive (and by golly, enjoy) la difference!

Graham's 318 for me! Best part of our year in Geneva: Graham's!

To be honest. there is only one place i go for the best Italian coffee and that is All Chocolate Kitchen. But Their Pumpkin Gelato Kicks butt too! It is so authentic its un real.

All Chocolate Kitchen is the reason I wake up in the morning! I love their Pumpkin Spice Gelato!

This is such a stupid reason to make tension in the community but I will have to say that All Chocolate Kitchen's Gelato is great! It really has made the Geneva Area a destination.

How is this even a question? We have the honor of having a famous chef in our town and he creates the best Gelato ever! But i am disappointment that this would be something it came down to. All Chocolate kitchen and Grahams should not have to "Battle" to claim their talents. This is just another way media messes with peoples minds. Anyway. I vote All chocolate Kitchen's pumpkin spice Gelato.

Having lived in France for most of my life, I understand the concept and authenticity of Gelato. I think that All Chocolate Kitchen's gelato brings me back home to France. This is the real deal! I vote Pumpkin spice All chocolate Kitchen

WOW. this is just so pathetic this is splitting the town apart. Can people each have their own favorites without creating a divided community? All Chocolate Kitchen is a great addition and grahams is nice to. All Chocolate Kitchens quality surpasses Grahams but it doesnt mean that we have to be judging them like this. All Chocolate Kitchen gets my vote. But Patch really should be cautious prior to starting something like this.

mmm I LOVE Graham's 318!!! Wish I could have some of their amazing espresso and gelato now!!

I became a fan of affogato (gelato with espresso poured over it) at 318. I'm an affogato regular. Just tried one at the All Chocolate Kitchen for the first time, and I'm a convert. The gelato was creamier, I got a larger scoop, and the espresso was more plentiful (2 shots; most of the time at 318 I get one).

Geneva is lucky to have both Grahams and All Chocolate Kitchen. But All Chocolate Kitchens atmosphere and products are absolutely delicious! I really do enjoy having my cup of coffee and their Gelato on a sunday morning.

I'm a huge fan of all things Grahams! Everything they make is truly the best I've ever tasted, including their gelato! Grahams is also very involved in the community, and has had roots in the area for decades. My vote goes to Grahams!

Im ACK fan to the end! This place has made such a large impact to the Geneva Area with their amazing products and customer service. Gelato is good but All Chocolate Kitchens Gelato is the best I would say in the Chicago Area! Steve dolinsky from channel 7 apparently came their as well, that must be saying something!

hahah saw this one coming from a mile away. Just a matter of time for a poll like this to come out. I hate to pick sides but All Chocolate Kitchen has stepped up to the plate and really hit a home run. Adding such a great asset to Geneva. Love their Pumpkin spice gelato!

Grahams-- You had me at Gelato! This place takes the prize in my book. Keep up the good work!

Oh my gosh, such an easy one!! Apple cider gelato at nowhere other than Graham's!!! Love this time of year!

I love me some Graham's gelato! Especially that apple cider one! Fo sheezy

The 318 apple cider with the salted caramel is the best!

Hello ACK Fans, and Grahams 318 fans I am sure you are aware of the recent poll posted by Geneva Patch regarding ACK and Grahams 318. The poll is called “The Battle of Gelatos”
We ask that you do not vote for us because we do not want to participate in something that is dividing the community. Patch.com having an inaccurate and biased polling system will not prove anything regarding who has the better product or store.
Battling for Gelato? Life is to short to battle for dessert. Geneva as a community battles the tough economy, battles cancer, battles child heart defects, and battles negative media. What benefit does a poll like this produce? Nothing, instead it produces animosity towards each other and an unneeded rivalry. I do not need to have a web blog determine who has what and who is better. Grahams is a family business and so are we.
Patch.com should not have created this tension and rivalry just to have “hits” on the page. The media is turning everyone against another. Take the time to just enjoy a cup of Gelato from either end of town. There is plenty of space for the both of us.
We just want to ensure everyone enjoys our product in the community we live in. 

So ACK fans we ask of you to no longer Participate in the “Battle Of Gelato” and let Grahams take the win. We do not want to take part in this involuntary poll and wish them the best in their future.
We thank you for your support
I mean I just want to make some Gelato guys....
Merci
Chef Roby

Love, love, love Graham's 318 coffeehouse gelato! The apple cider gelato is a fall must have. Just thinking about it I can taste the perfect combination of apple, tart, sweet & cold... and the texture is so smooth and creamy!

Me like gelato, Mr. Roboto. And I hear he's serving at Graham's.

Graham's makes the best gelato, in Geneva and elsewhere!

Graham's 318! has the best apple cider gelato. along with other great fall treats!

I love Grahams 318 Apple Cider gelato in the fall and their Lemoncello in the spring.
Divine :)

Graham's 318 is where it's at! I attended a wedding where the dessert was catered by Graham's and it was incredible.

First world problem.

Dear Chef Roby.......You clearly missed the point on the opportunity for some free advertising! Our little town is not so petty that we could possibly be divided by something as silly as Gelato! Take a big deep breath and relax and enjoy all the foot traffic you will be enjoying due to the fact that the name of your establishment does not reflect all the great things you have to offer.....such as your amazing gelato! Grahams is an institution in town and also has those fabulous windows that outsiders can glance in to while strolling by and see that they make chocolate. Your establishment isn't as fortunate, but just as good. So calm yourself down and enjoy the publicity!

Some of those comments are a bit weird. Either which way... the poll isn't really fair seeing as G318 is an institution here. Rightly so, Katlyn and I are there all the time. We like the relaxed ambiance and the coffee is always delish.

I think the quality of chocolate and coffee at ACK is very high. That said, and we were just discussing this... they should have put in leather booths along one side and then had some additional bar area.

Anyways, all said and done... both are fun places that offer their customers something different. I have my favorite location (and likely always will), but have enjoyed both.

I haven't tried ACK's pumpkin gelato so I have to refrain from voting :)

Graham's gelato is amazing, as is their chocolate (and their attitude)
