i-Creamy Artisan Gelato

I can finally get a flower gelato in Sydney without going to Europe! I see so many photos of people with super pretty ice creams and gelato from Europe, but too bad I can't go on exchange or holidays there...

2 flavours flower: black sesame (centre), young coconut (outside)-$6.90

2 scoops-coconut and lychee sorbet, tiramisu-$6.90

Decided on the black sesame without trying it first, but I knew I would like it. The flavour is quite (not as much as Aqua S), and also maintains a creamy texture. The young coconut (award winning flavour) tastes like a sweet baby coconut flesh, and also had some little bits of texture inside

The coconut and lychee sorbet was actually the sweetest of the four, and not really icy. Normally you expect a sorbet's acidity or sourness to cut through a creamy gelato. Here you get the super sweet lychee with lychee bits and pieces, then an after taste of coconut. This particular ice cream was also well balanced with the bitterness from the tiramisu. The coffee flavour is a lot more prominent then the chocolate.

They also put ice-cream inside the cone, they put the flower or scoop of gelato on top. The cone is longer than competitors, and decent crunch without being too sweet.

I got the flower because of aesthetics, so obviously needed more than one photo. Quantity wise it's probably 1/3 of a normal scoop (their scoop are relatively big, for now...), but the effort and time to make it is around 10 times as long. Normally first up I go with the good looking stuff. like for Aqua S, after getting the fairy floss topping, I never bought any toppings for over 10 Aqua S ice creams.

There were 24 flavours (I ended up somehow trying half of them-thank you haha)

I could go on forever describing them but going to try to keep this short and sweet. The durian does taste like durian, but with a sweet after taste, and Pinky Milky taste like pink sweet flavoured bubblegum (there is also a blue bubblegum flavour), green tea isn't that strong compared to other places, whilst mango is pretty intense. Baileys taste like it sounds, creaming soda (new flavour) was kind of like flat creaming soda (I'm that weird person who doesn't mind that stuff, but it's weird in gelato). I normally love salted caramel, but this one was a bit sweeter, and the Maple Toffee Nut was also a bit sweet. 

Most flavours you would have had before (well the ones available for today seemed to be 'conservative'), so it'll be interesting to see if they keep coming up with new flavours. They have flavour descriptions on their website as well which is pretty handy.

Amazed at how the gelato doesn't really melt when they make the petals, and after a million photos. Probably the winter weather also helps). Also, this place actually provides some seating! (Well more than most other ice cream places). There's around 6 seats inside, and they have around 3+ couches outside plus additional seat.

Overall, this place is definitely worth trying and a new contender with all the new ice cream/gelato craze in Sydney. I'm a bit biased towards Messina for their never ending flavour combos. Never too cold for ice cream!
