Gelato Messina has made a triumphant return to the Gold Coast with a new store located on the ground floor of Paradise Centre on Cavill Avenue, just metres from the beach. A trip to Messina will have you picking from 35 signature flavours and five rotating weekly specials. Don’t expect it to be an easy decision with flirty fruit gelatos, indulgent caramel affairs, praline-packed scoops and creamy chocolate licks available for your pleasure. If your stomach has been struck with the burden of intolerance, you’ll be happy to hear that Messina also offers up a range of egg-free, gluten-free, nut-free and vegan flavours to ensure you don’t miss out. Finally, if you’re planning a special occasion (or need a sweet treat to help drown your sorrows), it’s hard to look past one of the eight gelato cakes. Not only are these cakes beautifully presented with whimsical themes, but the flavour combinations inside are bound to make your heart skip a beat.
