Overview
You know how they say that good things come in pairs? Someone said that, sure. Well, if you live near East Brisbane and like sweet treats of the frosty variety, then you're about to double your sweet tooth satisfaction. The suburb might still be in the thick of Mister Fitz fever, however ice cream sandwiches are no longer the only frozen dessert available on Lytton Road.
Located a mere two blocks away from the popular, just-opened, Doughnut Time-adjacent parlour, Yum Gelato is giving the inner-eastern area what it needs: Italian-style cold confectionery in mouthwatering flavours such as chocolate peanut butter and brownie batter, obviously. And sorbets, milkshakes and cakes, too. And yes, squeezing your favourite scoops between a couple of cookies is an option here as well.
The hole-in-the-wall-style establishment is an offshoot of the Coolum hotspot of the same name, so if you've enjoyed a tasty waffle cone while walking along one of the Sunshine Coast's best beaches, then you know what you're in for. Well, maybe. Given that the new Brissie store is run by pastry chef Nicholas Waring, expect a few surprises among its ever-growing gelato lineup.
Find Yum Gelato at 11/17 Lytton Road, East Brisbane. Check out their Facebook page for more information.
