Chicho Gelato
Described as “Perth’s original gelato shop’, Chicho Gelato is a must visit. While it may look like a trendy bar, but instead of cocktails and DJs, you’ll find a vibrant and varied palate of gelato and sorbet with 20 flavours on rotation! The moody blue gelateria is sprinkled with colourful neon and silver inspired ’80’s Devo-esque’ gelato lids. All the gelato is churned daily and made using the freshest ingredients to ensure the best gelato in Perth possible.

Whisk Creamery
Whisk Creamery doesn’t simply stop at delicious traditional gelato. They also offer soft serve gelato, Unicorn Ice Cream and Mermaid Gelato. Curious? So were we and we weren’t disappointed. The Italian family business first opened in Subiaco in 2014, however stems back from a small town in Italy called Aosta. Making all of their menu items in store – from the meringues to the sauces, toppings, cronuts, gelatos, waffles, gourmet milkshakes and ice-cream fish cones complete with unicorn cones – Whisk Creamery do it all. We recommend giving the award-winning London Fog – Earl Grey Vanilla a try. And definitely grab a crunchy fish cone – simply for the novelty!
