Best Gelato in Manly

"​This little shop off a Chatswood side street offers big flavours and gondolier-inspired decor (owner Luca Zanini is originally from Venice) with a pretty interesting point of difference: a vertical gelato machine (the only one in Sydney) that makes a tiny six litres per churn. So while there are fixed points on the menu (chocolate-lychee, blood orange-choc chip!), the small batches gives the ex-chef room to experiment. Pass the macadamia panna cotta."

"Bringing a little bit of Venice to Chatswood, Gelateria Gondola has taken form in a humble side street and stolen the hearts (and stomachs) of locals. The artisan gelato and sorbet bar dons an open kitchen for customers to see the creation in action and boasts twenty rotating flavours. With staples like lychee and cacao, banana and nutella, arance rosse aperol and hazelnut delle langhe, we’re making weekend plans already."

"Don’t be fooled by its humble exterior for this slightly kitsch gelateria certainly punches above its weight in terms of quality. Producing gelato fresh daily, day after day, Gelateria Gondola excels at combining unique flavours and textures, like their Gelato Panettone Xmas special and their ‘Gondola’ – a blood orange and Aperol offering that’s been described as an Aperol Spritz in dessert form."

"The interior is decorated with innovative decor and blue walls. Aqua S is well known as an ice cream parlor with a strong soft serve game. Their menu includes the delicious ice creams with elderflower, blueberry, watermelon pear, Kinder Bueno, red velvet, mango passionfruit with sea salt, rum raisin, pineapple flavor, strawberry flavor, mango flavor, minion flavor, and hazelnut and pomegranate flavor."

"With a nod to its name, the ice cream here is blue in flavour and sea salt in taste. Yes, the sea salt soft serve has made this eatery a destination where desserts are done differently. Fairy floss envelopes signature blue ice cream, while toppings are the main game."

"Bringing sea salt soft serve from Okinawa, Japan to the heart of Sydney, this delicious spot has some of the most unique ice-cream mixes around (and crazy toppings like fairy floss and popcorn, too)."

"This gelato mecca has been around for 17 years and they're always trying something new, whether it's a new flavour, new healthy range or a mash-up you didn't see coming, like the new Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea gelato. This limited edition flavour is made up of organic Assam tea, a robust, black tea with notes of malt, which is brewed and infused with the decadent creamy gelato, and finished off with a swirl of rich brown sugar syrup. Each scoop of Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea is then topped with extra soft and chewy tapioca pearls for an added layer of texture and to remain true to its dessert inspiration."

"A post shared by the AU review (@theaureview) on Nov 18, 2015 at 9:52pm PST. Beaches and ice cream are an undeniably appealing combination and Gelatissimo at Cronulla treats this winning formula with all due respect by serving up over 30 flavours of freshly made gelato, including truly tempting salted caramel, peanut butter fudge and macadamia nut. Alongside the superb scoops, there are also plenty of incredible eat-in dessert options like their heavenly gelato doughnuts."

"After developing a gluten and dairy allergy back in 2017, Yu Ozone refused to give up on her love of food. Instead, she created Comeco, which is serving up gluten (and dairy) free sourdough doughnuts and vegan sushi to the Newtown masses. The signature sourdoughnuts are made using an organic brown rice sourdough starter, which gives the doughnuts a crisp exterior and a wonderfully chewy inside."

"NewtownComeco Foods is a vegan and gluten-free cafe baking all your favourite sweets, but plant-based, including doughnuts and sweet potato brownies. Although the sweets are a popular choice, Comeco Foods also makes vegan sushi platters so you can entertain your vegan friends too. The platters are filled with an assortment of nigiri and rolls in all kinds of flavours."

"The Artists’ Paradise, or TAP for short, is one of Sydney’s longest-running artist-run spaces, also set in the Surry Hills area of Sydney. Established in 1989, it’s been at the heart and soul of Sydney’s burgeoning art scene for three decades, with regularly changing exhibits and the chance to talk to the artists about their work. Its entirely uncurated approach means that it’s open to artists of all genres to exhibit or perform their work, making it one of the most exciting galleries to visit in Sydney."

"One of the most loved art spaces in Sydney is definitely Tap. It supported a number of Australian artists such as Andrew Logan, Carlos Barrios, James Powditch, and Mark Hanham, among others. Tap is also the place to be for Sydneysiders who want entertainment, as Tap operates as a performing and visual arts center, alongside the exhibitions that occur at the space."
