About Scoop Gelati

Scoop Gelati churns dense, authentic gelato artigianale on James Street, earning national awards and a devoted following. Churned slowly to build a rich, velvety texture, every scoop leans on balanced, natural ingredients. Connoisseurs head straight for the signature Pistachio—smooth, deeply nutty, and full-bodied. For added crunch, the Himalayan Salted Caramel with White Chocolate delivers crisp contrast, while traditional Swiss Chocolate, Hazelnut, and Rum & Raisin satisfy richer cravings. Fruit fans can pivot to refreshing sorbets like Pina Colada and zesty Lemon. Counter staff happily offer sample tastes before you commit, helping narrow down the lineup before you step out onto the Burleigh pavement. With just five seats inside, most visitors grab a cup or cone to stroll the street as the evening cools down.

  • Award-Winning Scoops: Ranked among the country's top ten and frequently recognized with Gold Coast awards.
  • Signature Pistachio: A dense, full-bodied staple widely celebrated for its rich, authentic nut profile.
  • Decadent Variety: Features sweet, crunchy Himalayan Salted Caramel alongside classic hazelnut and rum & raisin.
  • Pre-Order Tastings: Friendly counter staff let guests sample gelato and sorbet flavors before ordering.
