About The Gelato Shop

Churned fresh on-site daily with Italian ingredients, this Broadbeach staple is built for post-surf strolls. Regulars point newcomers straight to the Ferrero Rocher or the Snickers scoop—packed with thick chewy caramel and crisp chocolate shards. The counter staff gladly offer tasters before you commit, and you can split two flavours even onto a single serving. Grab a cup and head out to the sunny footpath tables on Surf Parade.

  • Made On-Site Daily: Churned fresh daily on-site using authentic Italian ingredients, with dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free choices.
  • Split Scoops & Tasters: Friendly counter staff happily offer taste tests and let you split two flavours into a single scoop.
  • Custom Gelato Cakes: Custom multi-flavour artisan gelato cakes layered to order for birthdays and celebrations, including dairy-free batches.

  • Cherished Holiday Rituals and Traditions

    Visiting becomes an anticipated ritual during Gold Coast trips, creating lasting holiday memories year after year.

    Our holiday rule is to have at least one gelato a day while away, if you haven't tried this place or the snickers, do yourself a favour

  • Seaside Strolls and Post-Beach Treats

    Conveniently situated in Broadbeach with sunny outdoor dining, it offers an effortless post-swim or late-night stroll treat.

    The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s a great little spot to cool off after a beach day.

  • Inclusive Family and Dietary Options

    Thoughtfully catering to varied family budgets and needs with $5 kids scoops, dairy-free sorbets, and gluten-free choices.

    The best part was they had $5 ‘smaller’ scoops for kids which is handy when on holidays and having icecream every day!
