Gato Dates
Los Angeles, CA
Gato Dates began with a literal dinner date. Gabi, seeking a dessert that was indulgent yet clean, created stuffed, chocolate-covered dates that struck the perfect balance of satisfying and simple. When lifelong chocolate enthusiast Tonya tried them, it was love at first bite. She knew instantly—these needed to exist in the world. Combining Tonya’s business savvy with Gabi’s wellness expertise, they launched Gato to redefine indulgence. Their mission is to create treats that taste as good as they make you feel, starting with their signature nut-butter-stuffed, chocolate-drizzled dates. For Gato, it’s about enjoying food without compromise—making health feel luxurious and pleasure feel intentional.
