Best Gelato in Gold Coast

"The gelato is made in-house with love, and you’ll go weak at the knees for their 40 different flavours. While they’re renowned for their salted caramel with white chocolate chip gelato, other flavours you might like to try to include pear and rhubarb, salted coconut and mango salsa, apple pie, and mint choc chip made with fresh mint leaves. Always check out the specials board too where you’ll find five new flavours every week, like DR. Evil – chocolate gelato with peanut butter cookies and dulce de leche."

"No list of frozen treats anywhere is complete without Messina, so it’s only to be expected that the gelato gods would make ours. With new flavours every week that always get our jaws dropping in astonishment, we just wish they’d hurry up and open their South Brisbane store. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!"

"Don’t you dare think about visiting the southern end of the Gold Coast without putting a visit to Gelato Messina on your itinerary. I simply won’t have it!. Proclaiming themselves the makers of Australia’s best gelato, I have to whole-heartedly agree with the Messina team."

"Gelatissimo might be a chain but that doesn’t mean their ice cream and gelato isn’t made with love and creative flair. Themes are all the range at Gelatissimo, and celebratory flavours have included Vegemite for Australia Day and Liquorice Scream for Halloween. They’ve also teamed up with Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in the past to create an animal series complete with zebra, snake, giraffe, clownfish and leopard-flavoured scoops."

"If you don’t feel like a whole meal, we found this amazing deal for one ice-cream for only $4. You can get it right here"

"South East Queensland’s second location for the breakthrough dessert bar and the ultimate venue to treat yo’ self, Cowch certainly knows what they’re talking about when it comes to ice cream. To construct your creamy masterpiece, you’ll need to choose one, two or three scoops (from flavours such as crunchy peanut butter and caramelised condensed milk) and then pick one (or as many as you like) of their tasty toppings. Who says you can’t put a price on happiness?"

"Double down on the decadence at Cowch Dessert Cocktail Bar in Broadbeach. This vibrant venue features bright pops of neon, comfy banquette seating where you can relax with a whole posse of friends and a menu to make your mouth water. Dessert pizzas and sundae bowls can be customised to your taste and the cheese board is an excellent option if you’re not such a sweet tooth."

"Cowch Dessert Bar in Pacific Fair is an absolute must for those with a sweet tooth. With its visually unique interior and sickeningly-sweet menu, you’ll be coming back for more at Cowch. Try out local favourites such as the toasted waffle sandwich, cheat day pancakes or fruit tingle crepes."

"Amy and Holly Prosser’s addictive frozen treats have formed a solid following and locals flock to Heven-Yah’s 1950s-style corner building on hot days. The most charming gelato place on the Gold Coast, it’s the only venue that uses a traditional “pozzetti” for storing its frozen products. Flavours include orange and poppy seed, chocolate almond (vegan-friendly and made on almond milk), mascarpone with cherry, and refreshing sorbets like strawberry, mango, rockmelon and apricot – all of which use fresh, local ingredients."

"If you’re not sure whether you’ll ever get to heaven, fear not, because we’ve found heaven on Earth. Sisters, Holly and Amy Prosser, opened the doors to this industrial-style gelataria after a dessert-filled sojourn through Europe. They came back to their home base, rented a cart and traveller with it for 18 months, then realised a standalone shop front was worth the investment."

"The newest addition to the Gold Coast’s gelato scene, Heven Yah, have added their own heavenly (yes, we went there) touch to gelato as we know it. Their fresh flavours featuring honey fig and pear moscato (who knew that would be a match made in heaven?) sorbet are enough to have you asking ‘why has no one thought of this combo before?"

"If you get overwhelmed by choice then The Gelato Shop isn’t for you. With chocolate fudge brownie, rocky road, sticky date pudding, peanut butter cup, crunchy lemon cheesecake, banoffee pie, jam doughnut, caramelised fig and mascarpone, you’ll never be short of choice. In fact, there are 96 flavours (many award winners) and the flavours keep on coming."

"We can’t get over the fact that the Gelato Shop is stocked with over 90 mouth-watering flavours!. Winner of multiple food awards in Queensland, all cakes and gelato creations were made in-house to ensure the best quality. This only means that you will have a difficult time getting your kids to leave the shop!"

"Positioned on popular foodie strip James St, Scoop offers a staggering 37 unique and refreshing flavours for locals and tourists to enjoy (we’re talking Ferrero Rocher, strawberries and cream, and musk just to name a few). Another locally owned and family-run business, it provides an appetising and irresistible option for dessert or really, for any time of the day (who are we kidding? We’re always screaming for ice cream!)."

Its two main beaches - Greenmount Beach and Rainbow Bay - are the Gold Coast's only north-facing beaches which helps to provide excellent, sheltered conditions that are ideal for swimming. A stroll around the point to nearby Snapper Rocks can also give you an increased chance of seeing whales passing on their annual migration throughout the year's cooler months."

"A beautiful clean white sand beach away from the madness of the main Gold Coast strip, come here to relax and get away from it all. This beach is not crowded, the waves are less fierce, and with lifeguards present this beach is ideal for families. Coolangatta Beach Gold Coast Australia"
