gelato messina

*3.5/5

i walked into the store thinking of the amazing gelato i had in melbourne, and was sadly disappointed. maybe i expected too much from all the hype, but the gelato just wasn't that good.

i tried the apple pie and the tiramisu. i'm not a fan of tiramisu in general so i can't really make a judgement on that. however, the apple pie, while tasting very much like apple pie and containing nice chunks of pastry and apples, was sickly sweet and thoroughly mediocre.

so, not bad, but not fantastic either.

never meet your heroes.

edit: went again and tried the yoghurt and caramel, milkchocolatewith choc peanut fudge and passionfruit cheesecake. really liked the yogurt one, peanut was good and passionfruit was too tangy and didn't have enough cheesecake flavour.

great selection of ice cream. decided to try the non-conventional flavours and got the weekly ice cream (mine was whitechocolatechip cereal and milk ice cream) and it was bloody good with chunks of caramel bites. a little on the pricey end just a single scoop but i definitely think it’s worth it, coming from someone who doesn’t eat desserts in general

the best ice cream place ever. any time i am around the area, i always stop by for a scoop of ice cream. there are so many amazing flavours and there are tonnes of vegan options available. too scared to buy a tub of ice cream incase i eat the whole thing.
definitely recommend this place again and again to all my friends and family and their reviews are always great too!
p.s. my favourite flavours (vegan) are thechocolatesorbet and pandan-coconut.

one of the best gelato in town. they are quite generous by giving a large scoop of ice cream. i had two flavours (i forgot the name of the first one whereas the other is gianduia). gianduia is a good choice if you like the combination ofchocolateand nutty flavour. hazelnut flavour is strong. there is also enough space for people sitting and enjoying their ice cream. great place!

love the variety of flavours and the gluten free options! the good thing is that they let you try/taste before you buy. usually i go for at least 2 or 3 scoops since it’s more for value but i find myself not being able to actually eat all of it so 2 scoops is honestly the most i ever need.

i love the choc mint flavour! but that might just be because i’m a choc mint lover. their choc pieces are on the bigger side though.

also tried their vanilla nougat and the nougat pieces were imo also a bit on the bigger side. i guess it does give that authentic feel but i don’t enjoy crunching through whole bits while my ice cream is melting away :”(

theirchocolateflavours are sooooooo rich. definitely wouldn’t recommend grabbing more than 1 scoop ofchocolatein one go. best to break it up with less rich, refreshing flavours like grapefruit sorbet (fave!!)

my cousin's hubby told me that there was a rather newly opened gelato place with a long queque. so out of curiosity, we drove there at night around 9 pm and i could see there were still some queque till out the shop. so while we in line there a staff giving us the menu and they definitely had different flavours from other gelato places. i picked a strawberry sorbet and giandujachocolatemeanwhile my cousin chose poached fig in marsala and her husband chose the limited edition flavour which i forgot the names.
honestly for me i did not really like it cause even it was soft in texture, the gelato itself was too sweet and also i couldn't really find the flavour that i really liked such as almond cherry or amaretti. well, if you are a fan of sweet you might like it better than me.

if you are after a rich, bitter, not-so-sweet kind ofchocolategelato, then you have to try theirchocolatefondant! it is soo rich and the texture is incredible ! otherwise , they have up to 40+ options of gelato & sorbet , including those on special menu ! i also recommend the pandan coconut, the flavour is amazing, definitely worth coming back🤤

the meatballs family visited gelato messina following a lovely meal at julius. despite all the hype, our expectations weren't overly high as we sampled their gelato at the pop-up shop next to goma earlier in the year and found it to be overpriced and above average at best.

we ordered three cones, including tiramisu ,chocolatefondant and vanilla. $4.80 for a single scoop and $4 for the kids was a very fair price.

thechocolatefondant was a bit too sweet and i didn't love the hint of cinnamon, but mini meatball was quite happy with it. the tiramisu and vanilla were both very good. thechocolatefondant rated a 3.5 and the others a 4.

not my favorite gelato in brisbane (la macelleria is the overall best and the darkchocolateat gelato milani is perfect) but better than our first experience and we'll be back.
