Gelato Messina
Nestled in Darling Square, Gelato Messina is not just an ice cream shop; it's a phenomenon. Bold statement? Absolutely, but once you've tasted their creations, you'll understand why. Their secret?

This isn't just gelato; it's a masterclass in flavour and passion.
Gelatissimo
At Gelatissimo, located in Darling Quarter, the philosophy is simple: gelato equals happiness. Freshly made daily, their gelato is a blend of the finest ingredients with no artificial colours or flavours. It's a promise of a smile with every lick, a celebration of the simple joys in life.
Andersen’s of Denmark
Andersen's of Denmark transcends the ordinary ice cream experience. With dairy from Australia, Belgian chocolate, and Danish flavours, each scoop is an international journey. Their award-winning ice cream, based on traditional Danish recipes, is more than just dessert; it's a heritage served in a cone.
Dopa by Devon

Famous for its Tokyo-inspired donburi and desserts, Dopa offers an exciting twist with desserts like Shibuya French toast with matcha ice cream. This is where East meets West in the most delicious way.
