Visit websiteAbout 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.

Practical advice for visiting Scoop Gelati on James Street
Sample Before Ordering
If you are undecided among the award-winning sorbet and gelato selections, staff readily offer sample tastings at the counter before you commit to your order.
Plan for Takeaway
The shop has very limited seating with just five chairs, so plan to grab your scoops in a cup or cone for a stroll along James Street toward the beach.
Opt for Multi-Scoop Sizes
For better value and variety across the artisanal menu, consider ordering a double or triple scoop, or sample multiple distinct scoops in one cup.
