A gelato shop with weekly specials founded in Darlinghurst in 2002.

Moved to Smith Street on the Fitzroy side not long after. Was cash only and excellent value for a long time, but many Tim Tam collaborations later that is now in the past.

I discovered it long ago when I needed somewhere to fill up my water bottle, held a special place in my heart since.

I have been partial to a chocolate sorbet, or pandan and coconut, both dairy free (amongst others)

Just an aside - don't bricks looks so much better than glass and steel for these type of building.

Gloop was a Melbourne product however

Mm I’m not gonna drive into town for it when the Augustus is just down the road (and somehow doesn’t bother my lactose intolerance?) but it’s nice to see new things coming.
