Dulce Gelateria is a family-owned and operated gelato shop located on Main Street, Greensborough. Owner Daniel moved from Argentina in 2001 and had dreamt of opening a gelato shop ever since, and has 20+ years of experience making it under his belt. 🇦🇷
Initially, the family planned to open a cafe that could hire people with Down Syndrome, providing them with meaningful employment opportunities. During the COVID pandemic, they discovered an ideal location for an gelato shop and decided to pursue that venture instead. Today, they employ three individuals with Down Syndrome. 🫶🏽
There are a whopping 130 rotating flavours - 26 scooping at a time (swapped every week) and 80 available for takeaway in the freezer. Everything is made on site and from scratch, with vegan, gluten free and nut free options. Their most popular flavour ever was actually their liquorice (surprisingly as it’s so polarising) but these were my top 5 that we tried! 🍨
💚 Pistachio - pistachio paste with the nuts through it.
🤎 Dulce de Leche - the dulce de leche used is actually imported straight from Argentina (their top brand - Havana).
🥥 Coconut Lime - coconut gelato with lime rind throughout.
☕️ Mocha - same as their coffee flavour, but better, with choc pieces. Essentially a coffee straciatella!
💜 Mascarpone and Fig - fig ripple throughout.
They also have a selection of cakes, icecream for dogs, waffle and cookie sandwiches and house made toppings. We took home a couple tubs of Biscoff and Chilli Chocolate gelato. Pop in next time you’re around!
