The Hat Trick: Unique Flavors
Why “Hatmakers”? Because every scoop is like trying on a new hat. Some days, you want to keep it classic with Madagascar Vanilla. Other days, you might feel bold and reach for the Matcha Green Tea or Lychee Sorbet. The ever-changing menu keeps things interesting, so there’s always a reason to come back and try something new.
Sweet Surprises and Seasonal Specials
An’s Hatmakers doesn’t just stick to the basics. Seasonal flavors pop up throughout the year, inspired by fresh fruits, holidays, and even a little whimsy. Think Pumpkin Spice in the fall or a Zesty Lemon when the sun is out. Keep an eye on the menu board or ask the team what’s new—they love to share their latest creations.
Not Just for Kids (But Kids Love It)
Gelato at An’s Hatmakers is for everyone. Kids can’t get enough of the bright colors and fun flavors, while grown-ups appreciate the quality and the occasional boozy scoop (yes, there are flavors with a splash of liqueur). Grab a cone, a cup, or even a pint to take home and share—if you can resist eating it all yourself.

The shop’s location in Del Mar Plaza makes it easy to drop by, whether you’re exploring the coast or meeting friends for a treat. There’s plenty of seating, both inside and out, so you can enjoy your gelato with a view of the ocean or while people-watching in the plaza.
