The Coast’s hottest gelato? It’s at Spoonys, the freshly launched sunny scoop shop by Spoon Bay Gelato, right next to AB Antiques on Avoca Drive. The shop may be new, but the Spoon Bay story goes way back to owners Dan (formerly a chef at Three Blue Ducks) and Julia Hughes churning gelato at home in Bronte under the name Mr Goaty. The pair won accolades for their creations, before relocating to the Central Coast in 2016 and relaunching as Spoon Bay Gelato, specialising in pop-ups and markets out of their retro-styled van, plus cart hire for events.
The shop is a more permanent chance to get around the breadth of their flavours, including cult favourites like matcha mint choc-chip, salted caramel cheesecake and from-scratch Bellbird Farm hokey pokey. (And who can go past Aperol Spritz sorbet on a summer day?) Fruit cups topped with sorbet and inventive sundaes (go the Dubai chocolate topped with crisp kaitafi and pistachio butter) seal it.
