Comments of Mapo Newtown

P. B.

This must be close to the best gelato in Sydney. Super smooth and creamy. All the flavours were distinct and delicious but not overly sweet or overpowering. Tried the ricotta with lemon zest, peanut butter and nectarine. Peanut butter was a standout with a bit of smokiness to it. Highly recommend you give it a try.

J. Q.

Really nice gelato and decent prices! The store itself is quite small, not really anywhere to sit - but it’s not really necessary anyway! The gelato here is nice and smooth and there are a good range of flavours available too. Service was decent and efficient. I also liked how there were a lot of options that were non-dairy, including both fruity and non-fruity flavours. You can also have two flavours as one scoop, for $6!! I had the macadamia flavour. It wasn’t overly sweet and it had real macadamia chunks in it! I also got to taste the pistachio, the gianduja (like Nutella), and the salted caramel. The gianduja was pretty rich, but definitely nice if you like Nutella. The salted caramel flavour was also really good! The pistachio flavour was a bit strong in my opinion - definitely wouldn’t be able to have a whole scoop of it, but it wasn’t bad. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area :)

We spotted the pop up gelato truck on Pitt Street one weekday night serving the same luscious ultra smooth, rich, buttery and creamy gelato that sets it apart. If you haven't tried their gelato and want some decadent ice cream, you should get yourself some.

A. L.

Such a lovely ice cream place in Newtown. There’re many flavours to choose from, and all of them are very nice. I’ve been to this place many times in the past few years, and every visit was enjoyable. Service is quick and staffs are super friendly. Will definitely come back again. Highly recommended.

O. Y.

Best hazelnut ice cream I've had in my life. Definitely worth a visit. There were sooo many interesting gelatos to pick from.

H. M.

It wasn’t my fav gelato maybe it was too buttery. I had a pistachio flavour however wasn’t my type of flavour. I like simple shop design!

A. K.

I did try two flavours ( Tiramisu x Hazelnut), They both were yummy but it was too sweet for me 😂 Cold brew was sold out so I would like to go back and try that one x

E. H.

I ordered three flavours, hojicha, pistachio, and Nutella. Hojicha is my favourite. The staff is generous about the quantity. However, the ice cream is way too watery( not creamy enough). The cup was broken and leaking ice cream all on my hand.

H.

Avocado/lime and caramello ($6). Caramello is a classic and must try. Skip the avo unless you really like avo. Pt. 2: cacao mass, matcha with roasted rice

E.

Gelato doesn't get better than this. Absolutely authentic ingredients on the creamiest base of gelato. Perfection.

K. O.

Very nice artisan style gelato shop in Newtown that offer a range of gelato from the traditional and classic flavours like Pistachios, Stracciatella, Caramello, nocciola to special flavours like Genmaicha, matcha, hojicha, hot cross bun. The flavours is strong and unique. Love the Caramello, Hojicha, Genmaicha and their special Truffle & Bush honey gelato. Would recommend this place to people for its unique, strong flavors that taste good.

C. K.

Easy 5 stars because of the quality, taste of the gelatos. Place and staff had a good vibe and aura which made it even more enjoyable. So far we’ve tried: -Caramello -Cioccolato -Stracciatella -Hojicha -Nocciola All good flavours! I think there’s a difference between the gelatos in tin can covers over the exposed ones really.

A. C.

This place is an artisan style ice cream shop offering strong flavors that are intense and unique. I ordered the roasted green tea and pistachio on a cone. The roasted green tea was great however a little too sweet. The pistachio was amazing and had strong nutty flavors. The scoops however are a bit sloppy and dribbles everywhere. I would recommend this place for its unique and strong flavors that taste real.

M. S.

The BEST gelato - and with all the competition in Newtown that's saying something! Great array of flavours and great variety to cover lots of different dietary needs too. (love the clear cut allergen labelling system!). Everything I've ever tried has been super tasty and I've never once had bad service - the team are always friendly and happy to suggest a flavour pairing. The 2-flavours-in-one-scoop is a great option for those times you don't want a huge serve but simply can't decide! (Or if you're like me and can only physically stomach smaller portions/servings)

N. N.

favourite gelato place in sydney! fantastic seasonal selection of flavours (lots of fresh fruit flavours especially 😍) and friendly service!!! I can’t recommend mapo enough ✨✨✨

S. S.

One of the best gelato places I've been to. Rich taste with texture. What seemed like a long line to wait in moved quite quick as credit to the servers for being quick and accurate with their output. Great range and variety. Need to try their milkshake next time.

X. C.

Best ice cream I’ve ever had and it’s not even close. Unlike other ice cream brands, Mapo is just the right amount of sweet, rich and real in flavor, interesting in flavor creation, and addictive! Been coming every other weekend since I found out about it.

A. i.

Super good, not too much choice so it's easier to choose. It's perfect the ice cream is very soft, very silky but does not melt quickly. I really enjoyed the ricotta one 👌

Y. Z.

Nice ice cream in Newtown， but it is a bit hard to find，hahaha. Full of flavour，with smooth texture，not too sweet. Limited flvour is available for festivals or special occasion. Accessories includes cap，t-shirt and tote bag. Location： 10 mins to Newtown station， on the main street Price ：$5-10 per person， cone and cup can be chosen， toppings are also available. I chose the hot cross bun，which has the cinnamon taste， unique icecream taste in my life. Staff is welcoming， she has recommended me the hojicha flavour that is popular.

R. H.

The best gelato place so far in Sydney. Their gelato really reminds me of the one in Italy. Very soft, fluffy and taste very natural. Their fruit base also consist of 60% fruits. Make sure to try the pepe saya butter and the pears flavours. Our favourite for now!

A. C.

The best gelato in Sydney! Has dairy and non-dairy options which are equally as delicious. They always have funky experimental flavours but the classics are also amazing. The salted caramel is to die for. Matcha is also delicious, should make it a regular item on the menu.

L. M.

Genuinely my favourite gelato in Sydney. Never disappoints! Particularly love the seasonal fruit options and always keen to try out their newest collaborations. Must visit!

Y. T.

Delicious gelatos! We tried their Gianduja + Pistachio and Nectarine + Raspberry. The nectarine used real fruit chunks, raspberry was so refreshingly tangy, and pistachio was creamy with strong pistachio hit. Our favourite was Gianduja flavour - they say it’s “a bit like Nutella, but better” which we totally agree with.

m. l.

The best gelato I've ever had in Australia. The owners and staff are so nice and so passionate about their product! You can taste everything is made with the best ingredients and no short cuts. Favorite flavors include fior di latte, licorice, and all the vegan fruit flavors which are so inexplicable creamy and delicious. 100% the best

B. L.

Ever changing selection of interesting flavours (Earl Grey, houjicha, kiwi, charred wheat are some of the standouts I've tried so far), and efficient, pleasant service, despite frequently long lines. The consistently velvety texture is top notch. It's pricey and melts quickly, but so worth it.

J. H.

We had the green tea and brown rice flavour and it was actually really good! The flavour combo was quite unique however it seems to work really well together. The texture of the ice cream is also perfect :)

C. R.

It’s a tough call but these guys make my favourite gelati in Sydney. There’s only ever like 12 flavors at a time - whatever’s in season - heaps of them are vegan and they all taste amazing. The mandarin and mascarpone flavour is particularly incredible <3

H. H.

What a cute and charm gelato shop in newtown. I quiet liked it. I had a scoop of Condimental flavor with raw honey comb. If someone have sweet tooth, will like the raw honey comb. I will try another flavors next time in a cone. The cup was cute but should be carefull with holding. Because the water droplets formed around ice cream cup, and ink was spreading all over the place.

L. T.

💕 I am obsessed with MAPO. We go there at least once a week. Everything is fresh and delicious with PERFECT texture.

Q. M.

One of the best ice cream (or should I say gelato?!) I have ever taste. Simply amazing, creamy, few bits of the flavour you took in them, service is quick and friendly staff. I took the single or chocolate and the smoked macadamia and partner took the hazelnuts and "better that Nutella" (very nutty!). You can tell the quality and freshness of the products used. Strongly recommended if you are in the area!

C. F.

Some of the best gelato in Sydney. The non vegan flavours are great, super flavourful and creamy but the best thing about Mapo is their vegan flavours. You really wouldn’t know they didn’t have dairy in them. By far the best vegan gelato/ice cream I’ve ever had.

D. M.

Matteo has done extremely well in setting up this fantastic store in King Street! It’s always busy and once you try the flavours on offer, you’ll understand why! It’s really delicious and is definitely better than Messina which is just down the road! Welcome to Newtown, we are happy that you’ve opened your store here :)

C.

Seriously delicious ice-cream! Have tried the Caramello (Pepe Saya Sea Salt Caramel), Fiordilatte (creamy milk), Stracciatella (milk and dark choc chips), Nocciola (hazelnut) and Burro di Arachidi (peanut butter) - can't fault any of them and will be back to try the rest of the flavours on the menu! Note - they do have weekly changes in their menu which are on their IG :)

L. F. A.

Best Gelato in Sydney!! Both spectrum of flavours are done well so there's something for every gelato lover! The texture is so velvety and smooth that any other gelato I've had doesn't compare. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

T. S.

Great settings and very convenient location. So many choices of flavour, picked pistachio and salted caramel for the first time to test out. Recon pistachio is a bit too sweet, can be a bit extra creamy texture would be much better. Salted caramel is quite nice. May come back try other flavours.

P. N.

Mapo Newtown is AWESOME! The Nutella is unbelievably delicious and irresistible. The staff are kind, cheerful and caring. This place is an asset to the King St community 🤎 Thank you for getting me through lockdown. The line is 100% worth the wait and yes you should get a take away box. Treat yourself!

A. P.

This the real deal!! Loved the cold brew and pistachio flavor, left me craving for more!

R. H.

Waiting for lockdown to end so I can come back here to eat again. Their gelato are so good and they are not cold to the point to freeze your brain 🤣 texture was too smooth, I was in awe.

J. L.

Came in here after work before peak hour and it was quite. Which gave me plenty of time to decide without being rushed. The gelato / sorbet was lovely and smooth. Very natural in flavour, but some may think that it’s lacking the kick compare to other places. Overall the smooth and creaminess of the deserts was great for us.

S. J.

I'm a big fan of supporting businesses that are doing their best to keep their environmental footprint small. Mapo is one of them. And their gelato is amazing. Totally worth a visit.

E. R.

Fave gelato of all time, such a good business to support with their values and tastes amazing! Vegan options are the best ever. Highly recommend!

N. Z. (. O.

This icecream place is a hot contender for the best icream in Sydney. No joke. Rivarino and Cow & Moon are amazing and I think Mapo is better. It is creamier and the flavours are both rich and fresh. 5/5

S. c. (.

Mapo is a small artisanal and sustainable gelato shop at the Northern end of Newtown towards Sydney University. The fit out is minimalist, with a long bench, plywood clad walls covered in a list of the daily offerings. Gelato flavours made using natural, raw and organic ingredients without artificial additives. The colours and flavours come from the ingredients used in the gelato. The gelatos are super creamy and really tasty. The quintessential Italian flavour is fior di latte, their creamy milk which they always have, as well as plenty of fruit based (60% fruit) like watermelon, honey dew melon, and plum and their rotating specials. Other flavours include roasted macadamia, caramello, giandujia, matcha, stracciatella and pistachio. They do have some vegan options. One of my favourites is the Pepe Saya Butter with sea salt caramel and a natural raw honey and sea salt caramel sauce add on. Be sure to check it out sometime.

A. K.

The best gelato in the world starts and ends at Mapo Newtown. Every gelato sampled is next level. Their pistachio gelato is made with pistachios sourced from Sicily resulting in a gelato that is as good (if not better) than any I've had in Italy. You won't be dissapointed!

H. R.

One of the absolute best (if not the best) gelaterias in Sydney! Their flavours are so fresh and intriguing and I love the collaborations they do with local eateries. The service has never been less than friendly and helpful. Plus their tote bag is one of the sturdiest totes around, a huge plus!

H. F.

Smoothest and most beautifully flavoured gelato. Love the almost soft-serve texture. Definitely adding to high rotation along with the other neighbourhood faves Ciccone & Sons and Cow and the Moon!

J.

I don’t know what to say other than that I love this place. I spend my week thinking about Mapo_. I continually want to go there and shove their perfectly-textured, burstingly-flavourful gelato into my face. You can’t find more authentic gelato outside of Italy- this is as real and as tasty as it gets.

M. C.

Best gelato ever, so delicious! I’d travel from the other side of the city just to get Mapo - but unfortunately Mapo is outside my 5km zone during lockdown. Luckily I’ve found a local restaurant near me (Glorietta) that stocks Mapo gelato. Yum!

m. h.

Wonderful gelato. Such great flavours all totally delish. The gelato is unbelievably creamy and they have a lot of vegan options too which is great.

S. B.

If you are looking a real Italian gelato this is it! All ingredients are natural and can be tasted in every spoon. This is different from Messina as they stick with simple flavours that are made of seasonal. Stracciatella and Nutella are phenomenal. Gelato is very creamy and soft, I loved it so much that I was thinking about getting one more cone after I finished mine!

P. N.

Sustainability and natural flavours are great things but first and foremost the taste and texture is what makes this such a great place. I had lemon and basil sorbet, which was good. Also, the hazelnut (Nocciola del Piemonte) which tastes beautifully natural. But best of all and most surprising for me was the Motor Oil, a seasonal offering from Young Henry's Hoppy Porter - an intriguing mix of sweetness, maltiness and then the hops start coming through - so good!

K. S.

One of the best gelato shops in Sydney. Stracciatella is my absolute favourite - a great classic that never gets old. Such smooth gelato.

L. A.

I got the panettone gelato and it was delicious.

S. B.

Mapo pistachio gelato is the best gelato I've ever had. There's nothing better! Please open a store on the Northern Beaches.

E. B.

Best gelato in Sydney, and oh how I miss it! Check out their insta stories for latest flavours btw (but genmaicha will always be my one true love)

A. L.

My favourite gelato store in Sydney. I esp love their hojicha, salted caramel and chocolate ....🤤 One of the many places I'll visit once lockdown is over

D. F.

The best gelato in Sydney. There, I said it. It somehow manages to be both creamy and light at the same time. The classics are all exceptional - think chocolate, fior di latte, pistachio and salted caramel (with pepe saya butter, mind you). That being said, the seasonal fruit and other flavours are often the stars. You'll see the line down the street, take a photo of the menu and choose while you wait. You won't be disappointed.

K. R.

Delicious, love that flavours change regularly and you can accommodate different dietaries.

V. M.

Delicious fresh gelato with so many original and new flavours that change with the seasons. There are many classics that are vegan friendly that taste just as good, if not better, than the original recipe. Some flavours are more savoury than others, so people that don't quite enjoy desserts can still like these gelato. Have a taste of the licorice if it's available - super interesting and tastes like molasses and aniseed.

C. N.

Best gelato in sydney! Have loved every flavour we’ve tried and the service is always friendly. A must go for gelato lovers!

S. L.

I ordered my first tub online after reading so many good reviews. Have to say they make the most delicious, creamiest gelato in Sydney! So in love with the Bolivian chocolate flavour, can’t wait to try more. And visit the store in person :)

L. N.

‘Pepe butter and salted caramel’, without a doubt the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I have a severe gluten allergy and the girls last night were super duper helpful. Without asking, they scooped my ice cream from a new tub with a new scoop to avoid cross contamination. Seriously exceptional service with excellent ice cream. Will absolutely be back (maybe later today).

S. S.

Smooth gelato with intense flavour. Favourite was the salted caramel but they were all so good. Also tried the chocolate, honeydew, coffee and hojicha. Must try if you're a gelato lover!

A. G.

Excellent gelati. With both artisan flavours and something new. The pear and ginger was so well balanced and I could really taste small chunks of both. That's not easy. Also the florri di latte was excellent! Creamy, milky and subtle. Perfection. I'll come up from Melbourne again soon.

L. D. V.

Best Gelato in the Inner West! So glad it's in my 5km. Highly recommend the salted caramel and the gianduja!

J. T.

Refreshing, simple, delicious gelato. You cannot fault this small operation. Great selection of flavours made from local ingredients. The serving sizes are on the mark. Not generous but not stingy either. Staff are friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be back.

A. W.

Love Mapo ♥️ Lots of vegan/lactose free options. I've never had a bad flavour and I've tried a lot!

N. L.

Ahh gelato! Mapo’s fluffy, yet densely delicious pistachio is unparalleled! — Whilst I normally love avocado shakes, the avocado & lemon sorbet wasn’t quite my style....

A. M.

First mouthful was WOW then more OMG as I kept eating and 15 minutes after I had finished I was still thinking how good that gelato was. With 'fior di latte' flavour it simply has to be of superior quality as there are no added flavours and they nailed it. I will be coming back again before I head back to London.

H.

Come here at least once a week, best ice cream I have ever tasted. Caramello, Stracciatella, and Chocolate are my go-tos.

G. B.

The best chocolate gelato in Sydney. A softer style then Cow and Moon but equally as good.

T. R.

The ice cream is a crowd winner! Such passionate customer service. Let's support great businesses like these!

J. C.

THE best artisanal gelato in Sydney. A gelato that is within the top world ranks. The vegan selection is spot on given the times. The flavours are wildly natural. Nothing else to say.

K. V. G.

Fantastic Italian Gelato, so smooth. Best Gelato I've had. Try it, you won't be disappointed, all natural no nasties🥰

S. S.

Hands down THE BEST gelato in THE WORLD!!! Just do it! And don't bother getting a scoop, do yourself a favour and just get a tub! You'll thank me later ;-)

E. E.

Kinda get annoyed if my friends suggest getting gelato anywhere else. Fantastic collabs and always down-to-earth service. 10/10 would recommend.

R. A.

Great ice cream however the store has the same flavours everytime we go unlike Bondi store which always has more variety and options.

A. C.

Amazing flavours and so creamy. Feel free to go to the over-hyped gelato joints with flavours that border on the absurd...or come to Mapo for simple delicate flavour combinations that actually make you want more and not sick. Kiwi. Milk. Melon. No brand name sweets required. No collaborations with influencers. Just pure artisanal gelato.

S. W.

Best chocolate ice cream I've ever tasted hands down. Consistently delicious

E.

Superb, natural and delicious. Sunday music in store is a lot of fun. The best gelato in Newtown, true artisan gelato!

M. L.

Cute lil spot, with the creamiest gelato ive had in a long time! Very good vegan flavours also. Staff are always friendly, patient and worried about customers. We had an incident where someone rather rough come in, stood right at the doorway holding something (What I assume to be a bottle of liquor) in a brown paper bag, farted rather loudly, yelled/mumbled that there was nothing wrong with standing there when the staff went by to tell him that he can sit at the front on the crates, but not to stand at the doorway where customers were enjoying food. I didn't get a chance to thank the staff member that did this, but thanks!

N. M.

I love ice cream. Mapo has a unique range of traditional ice cream to die for. They have a large enough range to satisfy without it becoming average. It’s smooth texture and consistency is delightful. Unfortunately I have to try and limit myself to one visit a week (perhaps two). Mapo night has become a fixture on our calendar. I love Mapo.

J. T.

Great tasting ice cream! For once, an ice cream which doesn't freeze your brain and can be enjoyed thoroughly! Great quality for a reasonable price! We look forward to coming back and trying new flavours.

A. W.

Fave gelato in Sydney!!!

L. A.

This is real italian gelato! Amazing ingredients, amazing taste and great customer service at both sites!

F. W.

Great tasting gelato can tell they use quality ingredient and done very well. Not way too heavy for me.

Y.

Sydney I guess the hot weather gives you good gelato masters making EXCELLENT GELATO not ICE CREAM Was told to try MAPO in Newtown and I must say it was very very good. I decided to have Gianduia and Piemonte nocciola which is a perfect combo if you love Nutella The gelato was soft and cream like gelato should be I like the open concept as you can see the gelato masters at work when they work there magic. Try this place if you want great gelato. Bravo GELATO MASTER DI MAPO8

l. n.

Was so overwhelmed by the variety flavours but the staff was so friendly and went through all the flavours and suggested their favs. Cute shop would def be coming back!

O. R.

Creamy sticky kind of ice cream with a clean true taste. Inventive flavours. Feels authentically artisenal. Will come back to try gelato on a bun.

C. C.

Gelaterias are a dime a dozen on King Street, but Mapo's fresh and unbelievably creamy flavours are in a class of their own. Their sea salt caramel - made with Pepe Saya butter - is much more refined and nuanced than the equivalent offerings by the other joints down the road. The nutty caramel flavour isn't hard-hitting, and doesn't taste burnt, as is often the case. Rather, it lingers on the palate in a scrumptiously satisfying way. Just try it, and you'll understand.

A. A.

First time trying it. Has the yummiest gelato in Sydney; try and mix Caramel with Milk Chocolate 😋 soo good. Has a good customer service too, Simona was great. She helped me pick up the flavours. I will absolutely go there again. Great service and superb gelato flavours

N.

Awesome!!! For my shot time in Australia with about 10 gelato shops this is best of the best. 100% recommend.

s.

One of the best ice cream parlour in Newtown.

V. S.

Caution! You can addicted from the first spoon! I love 😍 Mapo ice cream 💗 Every time when I came in Newton - Mapo in my list! I have brought almost all my friends in this place. 100% natural, high quality and always fresh because they make it every day. Also they have vegan options.

E. C.

Cute store, cold staff. Was only allowed to try sample two flavours unlike every other gelato store around. Had the Caramello, and the hazelnut. Flavours were good and exactly what was described, icecream texture nice but not as creamy as others.

E.

One of the creamiest gelatos I’ve had in Sydney and it’s hard to believe that some of them are vegan despite the creaminess. Their pistachio and hazelnut flavours are so flavourful - all time faves. Portions are quite inconsistent though. There has been a few times recently where a triple scoop servings was so little, it was basically equivalent to the size of a double scoop - not impressed. Would’ve loved to give a higher rating but inconsistency in this area is quite unfair for consumers, which has tarnished my experience.

P. F.

A bit sweet fot my taste, but very good. Chocolate and the hazelnut.

B. P.

Great flavour. I’ll say it’s one of the best ice cream shop in Sydney!!

A. v. d. S.

Seasonal, all natural, preservative free, artificial flavouring free. Do I need to say more? Comes with a really cute backstory that explains why the ice-cream is so delicious

K. C.

Incredible! Salted caramel is an absolute winner. Tastes like authentic Italian gelato, with that creamy stretched milk texture that melts in your mouth (and in your cup too haha). The chocolate one tastes like melted lava cake, and the honeydew melon one is extremely on point (so only get it if you love honeydew haha). It's gonna be hard for Messina/Cow & Moon etc to keep up with this one!

T.

Hands down most creamy and favoursome gelato in Sydney! This is my absolute favourite gelato place and it caters to vegans too. Honestly, their vegan pistachio and nutella gelato is so good you can't believe it is vegan. I also go for their fruity sorbets which are creamy and fresh. Their milk-based flavours are also to die for as well. I often buy a tub so I can indulge the goodness at home but because I have to store it in the freezer it does not retain the heavenly texture but the delicious flavour is still there. The flavours change on a weekly basis but there is always something for everyone! Keep up the amazing work, I am a big fan!

P. L.

New favourite gelato in Sydney (and there's a lot of competition) - the Pepe Saya sea salt caramel is incredible, as are the fruit flavours made with lots of fresh seasonal fruit.

V. M.

Good selection of some great quality ice cream. Vegan options are available too!

M. N. J.

Smooth, creamy gelato! It's deliciously good!

H. W.

Unique flavours and smooth gelato. Worth trying!

M. J. V.

Really good icecreams!! yum! And the owner is a Italian really nice! The place is beautiful as well

W. A.

My best gelato in Sydney. Try their hojicha flavor!

J.

This is definitely the best ice cream in Sydney! It is now my weekend ritual (rain or shine) to drive 30min for the ice cream. My favorite is the milk ice cream and Bolivian chocolate. Yesterday there were special flavor - Pandan and Mandarin with Mascorpone and I fell in love instantly. They are now my new love. I couldn't resist and called Mapo this evening to see if Pandan was still available as I was willing to drive there for the fix. Unfortunately it was not!! Bring it back plssss 20/5 Last night I drove to Mapo at 9pm and was so excited to see Pandan is back! I was so happy! I had the Pandan and Mandarin masporne. Absolutely divine. Thanks guys!

E. L.

One of the best gelato I've had. I love tea flavored, ricotta and fig, ricotta and chili, cascara, etc. The flavour of the ingredients pair really well with the signature creaminess of mapo gelato.

K. W.

The most amazing matcha gelato I have ever had in newtown. The decoration is simple but attractive.

J. K.

Have been a few times to Mapo, always walked away more than happy and wishing I bought more! Can always and will always recommend!

L. R.

So delicious! Whether you like yours full strength dairy or want a dairy free version, you will be supremely satisfied. This is a bonus for vegans and those with dairy allergies, as we usually lose out on a satisfying gelato experience (unless a fruit sorbet is your desire). Pure, creamy, and decadent. A taste of silken sweet cool creaminess is guaranteed.

P. C.

Delicious. Staff are excellent and the gelato is the best is Sydney by far

g.

absolute best gelato in sydney without a doubt. can’t wait for lockdown to be over so i get more

e.

honestly not my fave. i think maybe because theyre less sweet and have a more realistic flavour? so its probably not for me but im sure others love the authenticity behind flavours.

a. g.

Its another gelato place. Ice cream is a bit better compared to others in the other shops nearby. Only marginally better but still marginally better. I would go back to them because of that small difference though, but im more of a berry flavored gelato person than a chocolate and dairy flavored gelato. So if you prefer non fruity gelato, go here since the chocolate and milk ones are really good. if you like fruity flavors then maybe you should go somewhere else.

S. M.

I love this place, best gelato and best use of seasonal produce! Keep up the good work!

J. H.

Top notch ice cream in Sydney. The texture is very nice and creamy and plus they are vegan-friendly. Usually there is a long queues if you visit on the weekend but lemme tell ya, its really worth it

V. W.

Amazing texture and flavours. Best artisanal gelato in sydney by far.

K. N.

Great selection of seasonal flavours made with local ingredients. Also like that you can get a one scoop portion with 2 flavours for a little bit extra

F. S.

Delicious and creamy ice cream. Best I've ever had, so I keep going back for more. Seasonal and also a great variety, so always something new to try

L. P.

Best ice-cream in Newtown! Absolutely gorgeous. Recommend getting the 1 scoop 2 flavours for best experience

J. J.

This was THE BEST gelato or ice cream Ive had in my whole life! I had salted caramel - it was crazy good! Also didn't feel nauseous afterwards or like I anxiously wanted more sugar - it was perfectly satisfying

J. Q.

Very smooth texture, high quality vegan gelato

N. G.

Wow the tastiest gelato I ever did have ! the hazelnut is to die for!!! Everyone needs to check this place out.

G.

Smooth ice cream yummy flavours, good rotation of flavours. Lactose free options!

Mapo is exactly what gelato should be. Delicious flavours! I’m a huge Nutella fan so was very happy with their take on (better than) Nutella. My partner got lemon and banana and a little taste goes to show that it certainly tasted like real banana (a rarity for banana flavour anything). Best gelato in Sydney!

A. V.

Divine gelato! Small batch & made with raw, fresh, local ingredients. Vegan friendly best of all. I had the Gianduja aka “like Nutella but better” made from single origin Ecuadorian Chocolate & Piedmont Hazelnuts. Deliciously creamy & the perfect amount of sweetness. I was surprised to learn there is no soy or almond milk used, just water & the raw ingredients

M. M.

Tjhe Piedmont hazelnut gelato could be the best thing I've ever eaten.

B. K.

Legit better than Messina. These guys do some wicked sick gelato! They know their flavour profiles and everything is made fresh. There’s a reason there is always a line out the door! Worth the walk, worth the wait... they’re worth it.

R.

Ice cream is always great and the servings/prices are reasonable given the quality. Just wish they would put up a menu in their window rather than right inside the shop so you have time to decide what you want before having to order.

J.

Probably my favourite ice cream in the world. I've been to some excellent places, but It'll be hard to find better than this! Half of the 14-flavours-selection is dairy-free (vegan), and the taste is sublime! Just sit in to watch the guys make the ice cream in front of your eyes - a mesmerising experience.

Y. T.

Simple flavours, perfectly executed. Best gelato in Sydney for me, 10/10 would recommend!

B. K.

They have the best vegan ice cream we've ever tried. The vegan Pistachio ice cream is unbelievably amazing, & the vegan Almond is so addictive I just couldn't stop eating it. We ended up getting a 1.5L tub of it takeaway.

M.

Really great new ice cream parlour to enter the inner west. It did truly taste like the flavour and isn't artificial at all. They have the option to get two flavours in one scoop. Loved all the flavors I've tried so far. This is definitely my new go to ice cream spot.

T. C.

Probably the best ice cream ive ever had

C. R.

Honestly my new favourite icecream shop in Sydney. The owner is a friendly guy and the range of flavours is great. You can really taste how much effort Mapo puts into their icecream by how creamy it is. Always tend to take my friends here whenever they're around the area.

H. B.

The Green tea matcha is the best flavour oh my!!! Please never stop making

A. S.

This is probably the best ice cream I've had in years. One of the best in Newtown. The salted caramel is AMAZING. The ice cream is also soft and it melts in your mouth. I was initially skeptical about trying this place out but I'm glad I did! Definitely coming back!! This and Messina are my top!

M. L.

Their creamy/chocolatey flavours are great but the point of difference is the fruit flavours. I have found nothing like it anywhere else. When the person scooping the gelato jokes about how hard it is to juice the fruit for the flavour you're about to enjoy; you know it doesn't get any fresher than that.

M. S.

The best ice cream I never had .. also the owner/chef is absolutely nice..must try

E. D. M.

Best gelato in town!! Real artisan made and the owners are from North of Italy. 4 stars only for the portions, a little too small when comparing to other places.

M. K.

Never have I ever tasted gelato as amazing as this, so creamy and tasty! Wish there were more flavours, but definitely will be back to try them all! Exceptionally friendly service as well. :)

b. b.

New kid on the block; which I am excited to try more flavours at. I wasn't too impressed with the smoked Macadamia, too sweet and unbalanced. However, Bolivian chocolate was spot on, beautifully creamy and delicious. Pistachio is also on point. Passionfruit is intense and just as it should be. Definitely stop by.

P. G.

Love this authentic gelateria with some classic & innovative flavours! The texture is fantastic & staff are very friendly!

M. L.

I went here with a foodie friend who said that the quality and taste of the gelato here was better than what she had tried in Italy, which is saying a lot! I ordered the Pepe Saya caramel and the creamy milk and they both tasted amazing! Super creamy, and full of flavour. Would definitely go back to try all of the flavors. What I loved most is that you can request for one scoop but two flavours in either a cone or cup, but the vendor is so generous that I felt like we both received more than one scoop. The shop is small and cosy but not at all cramped. They offer a small selection of flavors with the menu printed on a sheet of paper stuck on the wall behind the counter. There are some indoor and outdoor seating, with a small bench towards the back overlooking the open kitchen so you can watch the magic happen. 100% would recommend to all of my friends and family!

T. M.

Excellent! Have been a few times now and will keep going back as all the flavours are delicious and use real ingredients; no artificial flavours. All flavours are also clearly labelled for allergens and they have lots of vegan and gluten free options.

O. W.

Creamy but not heavy. Loads of fun flavours that they play around with (the Young Henry’s Newtowner is still my fav). They even let you know which flavours contain gluten on their menu!

A. M.

Highly recommended, well done Mapo. Best ice cream in Sydney... OK, definitely Newtown... OK, definitely North Newtown... anyway if you like ice cream you need to check out Mapo, if you don't like ice cream, well, check out Mapo, you might just like it once you do. Simple flavours done perfectly with beautiful texture that leaves you wondering if it's possible to eat too much.

K. A.

I can't rate this place highly enough, it is truly incredible. Great range of interesting flavours including sugar free and dairy free options, and the creamiest texture I have ever encountered in Australia, perhaps even in Italy. It's even an ethical business. Is it possible to give eleven stars??

D. S.

This place is worthy of the hype. Deadset the best gelato place in Sydney. Fior di latte, Bolivian Chocolate and Ricotta, Blueberry and Thyme are amazing. Thank you Mr Mapo my friend.

E. H.

The ice cream was tasty but a tad pricey for what it was! I would have loved to see more fruity flavours (personal preference) there was about 4 variants of chocolate and 2 fruity ones!

J. F.

Hands down the best gelato in Sydney. Made the authentic Italian way. Notice that the galato is hidden deep in the metal tubes not excessively pouring out over the top like other gelato shops - that’s because it’s the real deal. Some chef in Italy taught me that years ago. Mapo’s flavours are delicious and the texture is rich and creamy. Outstanding gelato. Simply the best around.

K. L.

Great gelato. Have been a few times already and drove all the way here on Saturday night with a bunch of friends but found they were already closed about 1 hour before the advertised time :-( Edit: 1 star for the incorrect opening hours displayed. 5 stars for the actual gelato I've previously had there.

J. P.

Honestly the best gelato I have ever eaten outside Italy (sorry RivaReno!). I like that the gelato is all stored inside the counter instead of being on display. You can tell how authentic it is from the silkiness. They have a great range of flavours and always updating with new ones. Only one SMALL complaint I would have - when buying a 0.5L takeaway tub I was only allowed to get two flavours, instead of three. Not sure what the rationale is (they didn't want me to try all their flavours too fast?), but it seemed a bit petty and left a little bit of a sour taste (metaphorically of course). That issue notwithstanding, I will definitely be back many times again!

K. A. W.

If you think Messina, Gelatissimo etc are good, you’re in for a treat here. Without doubt the best gelato I’ve had in Sydney (and I’m from Rome). Fresh and original flavors with the creamiest texture, lovely people and healthier than most. Try it!

W. K.

Excellent gelato. Love the creative selection of fruity flavours, though it’s hard for me to not pick the divine fior di latte everytime.

S. L.

Delicious creamy ice cream. They offer mostly traditional flavors with a very high quality. The focus is on the ice cream itself and not on add Ons like chocolate chips or cookie dough in the ice cream (different to Messina). Natural ingredients make the taste unique and not too sweet. I loved it (although the stracciatella could contain more chocolate pieces)

K. M.

It's a vote little place. Their fruity flavors are pretty good. But if you say something is better than nutella than it has to be better.

L. S.

Literally the best Ice cream I have ever had! You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. The staff is also super friendly and Matteo is quite a funny guy! Well done guys

N. M.

The restaurant was quite close to where we were staying and is in a busy part of the town. Unfortunately there is no parking around there, so we had to go there on foot. The restaurant was quite crowded, bit service was very good and the food quite tasty. The price was quite reasonable as well.

P. F.

Best ice cream I have tasted in Sydney and trust me, it is better than many that I have tried (all the famous ones you can think of!)

D. S.

I don't have words to describe how good this ice cream is.

A. T.

First visit today and I officially have a new favourite Sydney ice cream place. The stracciatella was gorgeous and creamy with the perfect amount of chocolate chips, and the raspberry marscapone was almost too good for words. Freeze dried raspberries?? Genius! Will be back, and back, and back. How there’s not a line out the door, I don’t know.

m.

Super tasty and creamy gelato, absolutely love this place! I got their salted caramel which just melted in my mouth and my bf got the pistachio and matcha which were so flavourful and creamy as well! New favourite gelato place in Newtown!

B. M.

salted caramel is on par with some of the best ice cream I've ever had.. a must try!! however the non diary options though are not better than the real thing as advertised 😅

S. A.

It's one of the best places to indulge in an icy scoop of gelato on a hot sunny day ☀️. This Italian gelataria makes its gelato fresh daily using natural raw ingredients without adding any flavouring or colouring agents 🌈. Almost, half of their gelato menu is vegan including their pistachio gelato (yes pistachio!) 🍃 ————————————————————— (Check my profile bio for a description of the 🍽️🤩💵 emojis) 🍽️ - Surprisingly, even a single scoop of it was quite filling 😮. Make it 2 scoops and a cone 🍦 and it just might be a meal. 🤩 - This might just be the silkiest and smoothest gelato you'll ever try (maybe even smoother than that smooth af friend of yours 😉). Honestly, considering this is a water-based gelato, the creaminess it offers is insane. The seasonal fruit flavours actually taste like fresh fruit 🍉. Their signature flavours include the Fior di Latte 🥛, Gianduja (Nutella, but better), Stracciatella , Pepe Saya Sea Salt Caramel 🍮(their best seller) and my personal favourite, the Organic Pure Cocoa Mass 🍫(featured in this post). 💵 - $5.5 for 1 scoop, $7 for 2 scoops ————————————————————— ***PRO TIP: You can try 2 different flavours in a single scoop for $6😋. There's really no excuse not to 🤷.

M. G.

Pistacchio Is probably the best flavour there and the best I've ever had (even when I lived in Italy). The other flavours are a bit bland to be honest but still enjoyable.

R. M.

What can I say? AMAZING! I discovered this place by chance while I was walking past. I was attracted by its simplicity. I tried a few different flavours (omg the figs one was incredible!). Their gelato was tasteful without being heavy or artificial. In the end I had a pistachio and hazelnut cup. So good! Really recommended!

S. A.

Probably the creamiest, smoothest gelato I’ve ever had! Not a hint of iciness. My colleagues and I enjoyed a tub after a long day at work. Thanks Matteo!

S. N.

Nice decor but the icecream itself wasn't anything special. I'd rather eat cookies and cream connoisseur but that's just me :)

O. L.

Love the flavours here! A bit of refreshing experience in comparison with other brands!

S. M.

Yummy unusual flavours..yum yum.. caramelo was awesome, you can skip the sesame one

A. M.

First mouthful was WOW then more OMG as I kept eating and 15 minutes after I had finished I was still thinking how good that gelato was. With 'fior di latte' flavour it simply has to be of superior quality as there are no added flavours and they nailed it. I will be coming back again before I head back to London.

C. H.

Hooray for Liquorice flavoured gelato! It's been years since we have found it in Sydney (RIP Gelato 2000!). And this is a great one. Intense flavour of liquorice and molasses, and a great consistency. We will be back to try other flavours!! Easily now the best gelato in Newtown.

M. D.

Compostable spoons, cups made from plants not oil and, most importantly, one of the best Gelato in town. It's not a franchise, it's authentic flavor and unique creamy taste. Gianduia and Sicilian Pistachio are my fav, with no milk. Strongly recommended 😋👌🍦🍧

V. W.

Phenomenal taste, unique flavours and a smooth, creamy texture. I have returned time and time again and am always pleasantly surprised by the vast range of flavours to choose from. Love the fruity flavours, so refreshing!

R. R.

It was pretty alright, only a few flavours to choose. Enjoyed pistachio and hazelnut flavour.

A. H.

Came here to try out their gelato and I found it to be okay. Hojicha flavor was good but apricot wasn’t that great. Cute looking store but prefer Messina for ice cream. Room for improvement

C. M.

Oh my gosh! What a great find. Me and my housemates LOVE ice cream & now this will be a regular for us. Truly the best ice cream I've had. The hazelnut is to die for. YUM!!!! 😍😍😍

M. C.

How can I put it... Matteo and his staff are on top of the ice cream game in Sydney. Time, wholesome ingredients and a passion for both the craft and food are the foundations for Mapo ice-cream. Absolutely amazing

L. L.

No.1 Gelato in Sydney!! Creamy, smooth, yummy

L. H.

I’ve had the Sicilian pistachio from Mapo and it was so amazing! This is definitely the best place for ice creams in Sydney if you really wanna hv a good gelato !

C. E.

This is now my favourite gelato shop in Sydney. Every flavour I have tried has been delicious, after half a dozen visits... and an uber eats drop off haha. Special mention for the sea salt caramel with Pepe Saya butter. Mapo reminds me of Pidapipo in Melbourne in the best possible way - minus the huge lines (though they must be inevitable given how good this is!). Service is always friendly and lovely, and they let you try the flavours before committing - though you can't really go wrong! Also love their commitment to environmental sustainability.

M. E.

It lives up to the hype. Gelato is very creamy and tasty. My favey would definitely be the sea salt caramel. If you want something refreshing and different, get the watermelon & mint.

D. W.

Their matcha and stracciatella flavours were delicious. I really appreciate small batch ice cream/gelato shops as you get a silky smooth product! There was an interesting range of flavours without being overly whacky.

N. C.

The best ice cream of Sydney!! 👏 Real and tasty natural flavours. They offer different and innovative flavours every day. Very recommendable!

R. V.

Outstanding gelato. Highest quality ingredients are expertly handled to produce silky, creamy, flavoursome and well balanced gelato. Some of the best in Sydney.

l. p.

New artisan gelato place at the city end of newtown. Some interesting flavours to try but recommend the pistachio and cacao flavours. Friendly service. Better to grab and go as there is little space to sit inside. Woth trying all the flavours.

S.

This is real artisan gelato. They have dethroned the Roman franchise Rivareno and Cow and The Moon as the best gelato in Sydney. How can you tell? Well 1. They use pozzetti for a start. The metal cannisters designed specifically for the storage of gelato (the only other place in Sydney that does it is Rivareno). 2. The gelato is not stacked to the moon like in other ice cream shops that pretend to sell gelato but really sell ice cream (the scientific reason is gelato doesn't use as much cream as ice cream so there's less fat and less air that gets in when churning partly because of less fat and partly because the churn is slower). 3. They make it fresh and use real ingredients, you can tell the ingredients are real because of the colours, hazelnut is the colour of a hazelnut etc. They also only make what is in season. You won't be finding lemon gelato at the moment (even if you really want it) because lemons aren't in season yet. 4. It tastes exactly like the gelato you can find in all the small towns across Italy. Not the tourist shops in Rome but real artisan gelato. Bravo!

C. K.

Impressively creamy ice cream for those who prefer to avoid dairy in their diet.

S. S.

Hot Cross Bun is 👌🏻 great gelato place

T. K.

The greatest gelato you will ever eat. Awesome traditionally made deliciously creamy ice cream that melts in your mouth. Would highly recommend!

E. L.

What a delight! Clear flavours and beautiful silky texture.

B. K.

This is our new go-to for ice cream. Dropped in yesterday, amazing chocolate & caramel, and the vegan options with red plum, watermelon (!) and pistachio meant we had to carry more ice cream home than we had hands to carry with.

C. W.

The best gelatteria in the inner west, it doesn't get better than this. Fantastic product, well priced and dairy free options galore.

M. A. G.

Best ice cream I’ve ever had in Syd.

D. W.

An Artisan and Sustainable Gelateria in Newtown, Sydney. A little Laboratory where gelato is made everyday from raw and fresh ingredients.

A. H.

Love the Nutella ice cream and the stracciatella.

A. W.

A terrific addition to this end of King Street. So tasty, so transcendent, that I am surprised it has not been made illegal. Matt has mastered the art of crafting smoothly-textured gelato from the freshest, best quality ingredients. Fig, red plum, nectarine, fior di latte, salted caramel (made using Pepe Saya butter) and hazelnut have all been clear 10/10s. The style of the gelato served here is unique, in a class of its own; it stands out compared to contenders in the area (in a good way). In terms of freshness of taste and fruit-based gelato offerings, Mapo eclipses its long-established rivals in the inner-west, which is quite a feat. I intend to keep returning for at least a thousand more scoops!

M. P.

Re: re view We keep coming back here and By far our fav gelato in Aus , and can rival the best in Roma Milano and Torino! Bottom line u Must come here and try as many flavours as u can!! A lot are seasonal and rotate. Thx guys for your passion and hard work we love u Mapo !!

S. J.

The vegan options are great. The Sicilian Pistachio is a clear standout. Very delish and wonderful ingredients. Will be back for more treats 🙂

Z. Z.

Very authentic texture just like gelato in Italy. Good flavours available.

A. L.

Awesome new gelato place in newtown on King Street. Simple and tasteful decor. The gelato tastes very light and fresh using real fruit in their gelato receipes. My girls loves it! Friendly service. A must try when you are in newtown.

R. K.

My No.1 Ice cream in Sydney ♥️

V. A.

The gelato is really good and creamy. I really appreciated the composable spoons and cups, everything is organic. Matteo was really kind in letting us try different flavours tonight.

T.

This is my favourite spot for gelato in the inner west

E. M.

Outstanding freshly made gourmet gelato, unique flavours that are refreshing and so so addictive! Not as heavy as Messina icecreams, and are open just as late! A must try.

A. L.

If you want good ice-cream, look no further.

J. Q.

Easily a top gelato place in Sydney. I always go hojicha if it’s available but even if it’s not there’s always some other delectable flavour to indulge in.

M. Y.

Undoubtedly the best gelato in Sydney. The team here source the freshest, seasonal ingredients and turn it into luscious gelato with their culinary wizardry!

B. B.

Authentic Italian gelato, incredible. Favourite is mango or gianduja! Much better than Messina

L. B.

GOAT. Greatest. Of. All. Time.

Y. S.

Love their ice cream! their matcha is especially amazing

M. C. S.

Hands down the best gelato in town!

N. S.

Half their gelati are dairy free. The only place I know to be able to eat 3 scoops of different flavours gelati without making my stomach queasy.

M. C.

A hole in the wall ice cream parlour but delicious flavours. Choose the black sesame is my personal recommendation

C. K.

Very soft and rich in flavor gelato 🍧 will definitely come back to try the new truffle ice cream

S. D.

Best gelato in Sydney by a mile

N. E. B.

Amazing vegan options! Everyone should try this ice-cream. New favourite gelateria!

M. R.

Jubilee is the best ice cream gal in the whole world. Ti amo jubilee you're the best xx Oh and the ice cream isn't too bad either 😉😉

H. M.

Damn, the ice cream is good. If you basic like me, get the Creamy Milk flavour. Staff are very lovely too.

I. P.

Amazing gelato. Way better than the rest. You can really taste the quality and fresh ingredients. I've become a regular!

R. T.

While I was there he was preparing his Honeydew melon to be made into gelato onsite. Tried the apricot (obviously made frpm the trays of apricot on the shelf) and the matcha, fantastic. Highly recommended.

M. L.

Here for ice cream, the texture of the ice cream was very soft, and smooth. My pistachio and bolivian choco was delicious.

S. J.

Best gelato! I always get their single origin chocolate flavour and it never disappoints!

D. S.

Great selection of flavours. They keep their favourites in stock and cycle through new ideas and flavours. All cups and spoons composted.

A. L.

Thickest, creamiest and one of the most insane chocolate gelatos I've had. Would definitely recommend a look in!

A. M.

My favorite gelato in the world

M. E.

you can try different new tastes you have never tried before. i really enjoyed the creative flavours

P. C.

The nicest pistachio gelato I've ever eaten. Didn't realise it was vegan until the second time I came and never would have known otherwise. Unbelievable 👌

J. Q.

The gelato is incredible. The texture is creamy and smooth, almost on the verge of melting. Best gelato in Sydney. Totally unpretentious.

K. N.

The salted caramel flavour is delicious!!

J. B.

The best gelato in Sydney. Hazelnut and Pistachio are the best flavours.

J. W.

Best icecream I've ever had, highly recommended the mango. Not sure how a vegan ice-cream is so creamy!

C. F.

Amazing vegan options. I couldn't even tell that I was having a dairy free ice cream. it was so creamy!

B. J.

Absolutely love this place. Their Ice cream is not sweet and feels like having real ingredients not artificial flavours or colour.

S. S.

Awesome little gelato bar on the quiet side of king st. Reqlly unique flavours. Would recommend

P. R.

Matt and Emma are so friendly and the ice cream is very smooth and tasty. Best gelato I've had in Sydney!

P.

After dinner visited with my friends, this single scope two favors looks like two scopes 😉

N. C.

The No.1 gelato place in Sydney. It is so good. Not too sweet like many others. Great store too.

L. M.

I tried pistachio and houjicha. Both of them were so good and beautiful. The shop will be our new favourite gelato shop.

K.

Delicious creamy smooth gelato served up by one friendly staff member. Had the 100% chocolate gelato. Delicious!

F. S.

New favourite gelato place in Sydney 😋

Great flavour(s)!

N. K.

Overall my top two gelato in Sydney. Don't miss this jewel and their original flavours.

J. H.

A fairly small selection of ice cream flavours, but they're extremely fresh and creamy.

M. -. C. M.

Great gelato, really wonderful, a great expirience, worth going to Newtown just for the icecream,

F. N.

Nice flavours, but ice cream is super sweet and quite soft.

C. L.

Yummm! They serve soft gelato made of fresh ingredients - absolutely loved it 👌

Best gelateria in Newtown by far!
