La Macelleria's King Street Opening Weekend

Overview

Brisbane's love of authentic Italian gelato just keeps going strong, and La Macelleria just keeps opening new stores to serve up its delicious desserts. After expanding from Teneriffe to West End and then Coorparoo, the artisanal ice creamery has now set up its fourth shop in King Street in Bowen Hills — which, to the delight of frosty dessert fans, means more icy sweet treats in more places.

Even better — across the weekend of Saturday, March 16 and Sunday, March 17, the new King Street location will be in celebratory mode. Stop by on Saturday for a range of specials, with $2 coffees on offer from 12–2pm, $1 gelato tempting your tastebuds from 4–6pm and $3 gelato shakes ready to be slurped up from 6–8pm.

Then, if you're in the neighbourhood on Sunday, La Macelleria will be scooping up  a 'beermisu' flavour. It's made with beer from Green Beacon, because that's how a gelateria marks St Patrick's Day.

For those fond of tasting something fresh out of the freezer, Brisbanites will be able to try three other new flavours that'll be joining the La Macelleria menu. Catering for all diets, they include a ruby chocolate variety created in collaboration with New Farm Confectionary, a dairy-free earl grey and yuzu sorbet, plus a vegan oat and chai gelato.
