An's Hatmakers is a handcrafted gelato shop at 1555 Camino Del Mar #115, Del Mar, CA 92014, tucked inside the ground floor of the historic Del Mar Plaza. Founded by Kris Warren and friends as the sister location to the award-winning An's Dry Cleaning in North Park, this dessert destination was named one of the top 10 ice cream parlors in America by USA Today and has earned recognition from Forbes, Zagat, Lonely Planet, and Thrillist. The executive chef brings nearly two decades of gelato-making experience across France, Italy, and Spain, and every ingredient is made completely from scratch each week in the shop's own kitchen. Visitors exploring Del Mar Plaza often pair a scoop here with an ocean-view brunch upstairs at Pacifica Breeze Cafe, making the two a natural Del Mar Plaza afternoon. The entire concept pays homage to Del Mar's racetrack heritage, where extravagant hats have been a tradition since Bing Crosby's era. Every flavor is named after a hat, and the space is designed like a haberdashery atelier by Los Angeles-based designer Sormeh Rienne, with cast-iron worktables, marble-topped cafe tables, and a European-inspired aesthetic. Signature flavors include Canvas, an olive oil and rosemary gelato, and Leather, a brown butter and chocolate chip cookie creation. The rotating monthly menu has featured standouts like Midnight Chocolate made with rich Brazilian cocoa powder, a pistachio gelato blending nine pounds of pistachios per batch, and a cold brew hazelnut flavor using locally roasted DropKick coffee. Vegan sorbets are always available, including a strawberry version loaded with 12 pounds of fruit per batch and a mango passion fruit option using 19 pounds of fresh mango. An's Hatmakers also sells ceramic jars designed by an Amsterdam-based firm and double-fired in Vietnam, functioning like gelato growlers that unlock access to secret flavors and private tasting events. The shop maintains a customer flavor suggestion board that the chefs review regularly, and past customer ideas have been turned into actual menu items. Just blocks away along the Del Mar Village corridor, Seaside Yogurt provides another frozen treat option for anyone exploring the neighborhood on foot. An's Hatmakers is a dedicated gluten-free facility, open seven days a week from noon until 10 PM Sunday through Thursday and until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday, with one hour of free garage parking at Del Mar Plaza.
