About Shiro Gelato & Snack @Southport, Gold Coast

Southport’s Japanese dessert counter pairs artisan gelato in chewy mochi wraps with fresh onigiri. Regulars steer straight toward the Goma Marble—nutty black and white sesame gelato enveloped in a soft daifuku skin. Behind the counter, the team whisks rich matcha lattes and pours toasty hojicha alongside scoops of Hokkaido Milk and Hojicha Oreo. Savory rice balls balance the sweetness, leaving just enough room to finish with a cold yuzu soda.

  • Mochi-Wrapped Gelato: Dense scoops like Goma Marble and Hojicha Oreo folded to order inside tender daifuku skins.
  • Matcha & Tea Pours: Whisked green tea lattes, toasty roasted green tea pours, and chilled yuzu sodas.
  • Handmade Onigiri: Fresh Japanese rice balls packed with savory fillings like karaage to balance the sweets.

  • Savory Handcrafted Onigiri Pairing

    Savory freshly prepared onigiri rice balls complement specialty lattes and desserts for a satisfying stop.

  • Nostalgic Japanese Cafe Ambiance

    The store's atmosphere and menu recreate the charm and nostalgic flavours of a classic Japanese cafe.

    Love them, esp when I miss home. Proper matcha, can always trust an Asian shop for good grade matcha.

  • Southport Neighborhood Respite

    A welcoming community stop in Southport offering a calm setting to enjoy specialty desserts and teas.

    We stayed a while at one of the few tables available to enjoy our dessert and soak up some of the Japanese vibes from the shop.

Signature Japanese mochi-wrapped scoops and handcrafted tea lattes

  • Matcha Latte

    The premium matcha latte was delicious, and the matcha gelato is a must-try.

  • Black Sesame Mochi Gelato

    the absolute star is the black sesame ice cream wrapped in mochi (daifuku). It’s smooth, nutty, and not too sweet, with a soft, chewy mochi that makes every bite amazing.

  • Hojicha Latte

    I ordered their hojicha latte and it tastes exceptional! The roast and nutty flavor of the hojicha is not that strong and complements well with oat milk.

    Angelica Nario

  • Hojicha Oreo Gelato with Daifuku

    we decided on a hojicha Oreo gelato ($7) with the daifuku (mochi wrap) option (+$1). This was skilfully made into a spherical shape that was just the right size to fit in the cup.
