Best Gelato in Newcastle

"Estabars has for as long as we can remember supplied some of the best gelato in town, but with Bec wanting to serve only really seasonal and local gelato the challenge was put to the team. Sourcing their flavor inspiration from the seasonal fruits Bec explains, “The chocolate and vanilla are made using cream and milk from the Little Big Dairy Co., and they're the basics and will always be on the menu.
