Started in Darlinghurst and became the yardstick for gelato in Sydney. The cabinet always holds dozens of regular flavours alongside weekly specials, from sharp passionfruit sorbet and pistachio praline to dessert-in-a-cup flavours loaded with cake. The Circular Quay store is handy before or after a ferry; take your cup to the benches outside the Museum of Contemporary Art and eat it facing the Opera House.
