Anita Gelato

Overview

If you like having plenty of choice, Anita Gelato has you covered with over 150 delicious ice cream flavours on offer. Even better, it has a mix of gelato, vegan, sugar-free and frozen yogurt options — so no-one misses out. Anita Gelato originated from a 'cosy Mediterranean kitchen' almost 20 years ago. Owner Anita and her son, Nir, developed recipes for their family and friends using house-made jams, which eventuated in Sydney stores in Bondi in 2013 and, later, Chippendale.

Here, you're encouraged to mix and match flavours. Tiramisu and hazelnut mousse, pavlova and salted bagel are some of the winning scoops, though the Cookieman — a vanilla based loaded with meringue, biscotti and Nutella — is by far the most popular. For those that are dairy-free or vegan, Anita offers more than just the simple fruit sorbet – try the soy-based Oreo cookies, or the rich dark chocolate. For something lighter, go for green apple or watermelon and mint sorbet — or give sugar-free coffee a try. If you're really leaning into this treat-yourself moment, you can opt for your scoops to be served atop a crispy handmade waffle or beside a hot chocolate souffle instead — or blended into a decadent thickshake.
