Meet Ray, our Gelato Maker and GelatoLove Server

At GelatoLove we feel like the Ocean and Nature itself shaped Ray’s positive attitude and unique way of thinking. We also discovered that he’s passionate about Marine Biology and that’s what he studies at Mira Costa College.

At GelatoLove Ray immediately absorbed the art of scaling and mixing our fresh ingredients to make all the countless flavors we offer at GelatoLove. Ray’s eclectic personality can also be enjoyed at the store, where anybody can meet him serving the homemade gelato he previously prepared.
