Gelato Messina Crows Nest

Overview

Gelato giant Messina has opened its third store north of the bridge, and its 37th store nationally, in Crows Nest. The new store will be open seven days a week from noon until late, set to become a community hangout for after-school scoops, weekend catch-ups, or late-night dates. 

Since its inception in 2002 at the Darlinghurst site, Messina has grown into a nationally adored brand, with each of its inventive flavours crafted from unique, made-from-scratch recipes. Each Messina store pumped out 35 classic flavours daily, plus five weekly specials. 

The newest outpost, located in the bustling Willoughby Road Precinct, is inspired by mid-Century American diners, boasting a jukebox menu board and retro booth seating. The design is warm and nostalgic, making you want to linger a little longer over another scoop. Of course, if you don't have time, grab a take-away tub or signature ice cream cake to enjoy at home. 

To celebrate the opening, the team will be slinging a limited-edition opening special: Crows Before Bros. The indulgent flavour features baked maple cheesecake gelato studded with pecan praline and maple caramel. Use the Messina App to score double points between June 12 and 21, and if you're one of the first 50 customers, you'll get to take home a reusable Messina spoon.
