The tiramisu ice cream is out of this world!! The cone tastes delicious too! I’m sad I didn’t get two scoops!!
The Messina located in Bondi is an amazing location and the ice cream is perfect after a swim at Bondi. It is refreshing on a hot day at the beach. Messina is the perfect place to go for Ice-cream.
Always busy and now I can see why. They have a large range of ice creams and sorbets decent size scoops that taste amazing. My favourite would definitely be the chocolate sorbet. It’s tastes almost exactly like normal ice cream. 100% would recommend to anyone!

Shocked by how delicious the ice cream was. I tried their salted caramel white chocolate and macadamia ice cream. It melts perfectly in your mouth. the balance of flavor was just perfect. I am in love with the salty and sweet combination of salted caramel, and you can really taste the white chocolate! Macadamia flavor was my sister's favorite. It was really nutty and paired well with the salted caramel. truly the best ice cream I have ever had in my life. It was affordable too, 2 scoops for 6.8 dollars.

While not exclusive to Bondi, there’s no better place to slurp some of Sydney’s favourite gelato than on the grassy knoll at Bondi Beach. All of our favourite Messina flavours are here on Hall Street: pistachio praline, salted caramel and white chocolate, and tiramisu, plus 37 other concoctions of deliciousness.
Love, love, love messina. I used to live up the street from the Bondi outlet and often got a one litre tub in summer. It’s a great dessert for when you have people over or just craving something sweet.
Delicious! We ordered hazelnut and pistaccio praline. The praline was really really good. there's so much good flavours to choose from and I didn't hesitate to try and taste 3 flavours hahaha. I ended up buying the praline because its so unique.
what a variety of ice creams, i felt like a child again! just pure hapiness and forget about the ice creams on specials some with a touch of rum and crazy flavour that make you never want to put the cup!!
One of the best thing in Sydney is Gelato Messina and tasting my favourite pistachio or salted caramel flavours. Rich, creamy and refreshing, it is a perfect companion for anyone taking a stroll along Bondi on an hot afternoon 😋
perfect！I love the low sugar chocolate！not too sweet，but still smooth and good taste. located near the bondi beach，enjoying the beautiful view with delicious ice cream
Fabulous gelato. I tried their choc chip, which had decadent chunks of rich chocolate pieces. The hazelnut was equally as good, creamy and satisfying.
Consistency is 🔑 and Messina is consistently delicious ! One of the few dessert bars that is actually worth the calories. The specials are always a great treat, all time favourite has to be the coconut almond ! Keep it up guys !
Perfect way to beat the heat! These gelatos are to die for, so flavorful, not tooooo sweet and so worth to try! Good thing we were able to see a branch while strolling in Bondi. We got 3 junior scoops less than $15 in total. Can you please branch out MNL?
Incredible ice cream with both fresh sorbets and delicious creamy options. Also have the most amazing combinations and specials full of flavour. I love the raspberry sorbet and the white chocolate salted caramel especially. Quick location from Bondi Beach and quick service. A standout in the Bondi area!
Don't miss out on their HONEY I'M COMB and HALO HALO gelato! So good 😍 Perfect for the sunny beach weather. Not too sweet and with a nice consistency.
So happy when GM opened in Bondi Beach. All the more reason to now see Bondi as a major foodie destination in Australia. Love all the traditional flavours and gelatos however you've got to try the specials and every time I'm standing in line FOMO kicks in! Can't go past the Oreogasm (peanut gelato with Oreo custard and crushed Oreo biscuits). Maybe I'll take a tub home too. You never know when it will return!

I'll say it once and I'll say it a thousand times. I love icecream and I've tried all kinds from around the world but I still reckon that Gelato Messina is the best and will never be beaten. I've tried most of the flavours but efinitely have a soft spot for Apple Pie, and Pannacotta and Fig jam with amaretti biscuits.
gday. what a deliciously creamworthy experience this was for me and my tastebuds. I purchased the bloody orange supreme cream in a single scoop cup. bummer I didn't get a second scoop as a party in my mouth occured. the man who served me was quite tanned and made the experience unforgettable. just to add quickly. i had to mortgage my house to purchase a scoop of ice cream from this joint. so start saving
Very, very, very, very good. The salted coconut with mango salsa is just absolutely, delicious. Actually no, it's heavenly, angelic and flat out creamworthy. Don't reckon I've ever been so satisfied tucking into a sorbet in me life. The sorbets are just insanely good, (passionfruit, raspberry😩) however a few of their creams do tend to let them down. The lack of a simple chocolate is not good to see. The rotating 5 special flavours each day is revolutionary, and very exciting for an individual like me to see the menu being continuously spiced up. Although Darlinghurst has better quality, this was quite a treat, I was happy to eat.
I'm probably going to sound like a weirdo but I never quite understood the fuss over Messina. But how wrong was I!! It all comes down to the fact I had never tried their pandan & coconut sorbet. Hands down the best sorbet I've ever had. Actually, I think it's the best ice cream/gelato/sorbet ever but then again my pool isn't very big. And it's dairy free. How much better can it get!
Messina is incredible. Everyone who has been knows that. We used to go about twice a week but have cut down. There's the usual staples of sorbet fruits, and popular flavours as well as some pretty random and interesting specials each week. We went for the traditional favourites; tiramisu, chocolate and salted caramel and white chocolate. The best! Unfortunately someone ate it before the photo damn. Bondi is a good one because the lines aren't nearly as long! Too many health nuts around 😜
The swans lost the AFL final and so this bloke was in need of a good cream. Insert gelato Messina here. Quad scoop waffle cone with three of the weekly specials and salted caramel with white choc chip. Amazing. Every time.
Delicious ice cream ever. Come here twice on my holiday. The important thing is the ice cream is not too sweet ... So kinda healthy i think. Hahahah
Another branch of the ever popular Gelato Messina - the Bondi store is always bustling and serves up the same delicious ice cream that we all expect. The Salted Caramel White Chocolate still reigns supreme.
Rich delicious creamy fresh what more can you want in an ice cream. This place is always busy and I can see why. House music pumping out the door gives it a party vibe which is odd but I guess it's their style.
I'm so happy Messina has opened just a few streets down from my place. My favourite flavors are coconut & pandan, coconut & lychee, salted caramel, mango. I've had chocolate sorbet & chocolate fondant - I'm a huge chocolate lover but I can't stomach these flavors. Chocolate fondant tastes like what it is - texture is thick af.
Note: there's always a long line when I go which has me to believe this place is always busy. I've been at 12 in the afternoon, 3, 8pm and they've been busy 😅
Berry/marshmallow flavor was amazing. Chocolate chip was also very good. Fresh tasting, creamy, and a huge variety of flavored. Also, very unique looking cakes.
A consistent outlet of Messina. The gelato is pretty much same as other outlet, which are mostly great (there are a few that is more of an acquired taste...). Tried a couple of the specials, but they were bit sweet for me. Stuck to one of my trusty go to, the blood orange sorbet, which was perfect for a hot sunny day, and great refreshment from a beach-side walk. Minor downside is the lack of seats.
Messina can honestly do no wrong. The flavours of the week always pull me in without fail. Tonight I had the "Gay Ol Time" and I was singing with happiness wth each and every lick.
I don't know how they keep re-inventing the wheel with their flavours but they do a bloody incredible job at it. Only downer is the lines, but the ice cream at the end makes it so worth it!
Gelato Messina is one of the big gems you can find down in Bondi, as the queues will prove. Messina stocks full of ice cream not only of great taste and quality, but of a magnificent range of flavours. Be sure to ask for a taste test to try them out. A personal favourite of mine is the apple pie- a nice, creamy blend of Apple and cinnamon, totally complimenting each other in a delicious swirl of cold ice cream. The salted caramel is also a definite no-brainer. Perfect for kids and adults alike.
This place always has a line but gosh it's worth it. My go to flavours are the yoghurt and caramel and the gianduia bianca. If you haven't been to Messina you need to go!
This place is always packed, but oh well I know why! They have many dairy free options that are certainly unusual. Their coconut with mango salsa gelato is just de-li-ci-ous! Messina is my place to go for icecream.
What a discovery! Happened to just walk past this place and entered since I had a bit of a pang for something sweet. Totally blew my mind. The salted caramel with white chocolate is to die for. Make sure you try a few flavours before ordering.
Interesting flavours and quality ingredients lead to this being my favourite place for ice cream in Sydney. Plus you can't beat the view as you stroll on the beach. Open late too which is great for when a craving hits after supper :)

The Messina is located around 150 meters from the beach front... an uphill walk too. We finished dining at Hurricanes and decided to cure our sweet cravings with some infamous ice cream from this place. If you're hoping to sit down and enjoy your ice cream here then you're out of luck. they only had two seats and a table when i went. The large counter allowed and catered for large groups to look at the ice cream and choose their flavours. They were very welcoming of trying out flavours... and we had a group of 7 people too. After sampling a large array we settled for 5 cups. I choose Oreogasm flavour which was the one of the special ones. It tasted fantastic... especially since the night before we were having the battle of Messina vs Cow and Moon. Glad my relos from the US got to sample both... to which we all agree... Messina has better, strong flavours but Cow and Moon is smooth as! Keep up the great customer service here! I'm glad with all the customers that you get... the friendly customer service is always top notch!

Too cool. Iconic is a word that gets splashed around a lot but Bondi Beach is certainly deserving of that status. A trip to Bondi is one of those things that you just have to do, whether you're a tourist, a local getting some early morning exercise or a visitor from other parts of Sydney. Once you have had your fill of sea, salt and sand, Bondi Beach now offers some really great food experiences, and Gelato Messina is certainly near the top of that list. I mean, come on, what could be more perfect on a hot summer day?
GM is set on Hall St, a short walk from the beach, so has a different vibe from the beachfront cafes. There's certainly no less buzz though, given the crowds of people that are usually gathered outside, eyes shining in anticipation. While the queues are long, the service is efficient so they move fast The staff are always happy to provide tasters, which is fantastic, given some of the flavors are challenging to the imagination to say the least.
Once you've made your all important choice, you will find a gelato that is rich and creamy and delicious. The perfect topping to a perfect Bondi day.
Fantastic ice cream. Rich, smooth and creamy and an ever changing array of flavours. The staff were super friendly and explained the set up with all the different flavours and specials. We went for the salted caramel and white chocolate and the milk chocolate and fudge. Absolutely superb!
Delicious gelato and a great range of flavours - i like the classics but the more interesting flavours are amazing too. Cakes are wow!; really creative and good value for money all round.
Next, we jumped out of our seats to go the famed Gelato Messina. Claim to fame? Voted best gelato in all of Australia. Honestly, if you haven’t heard of this place, then you are not even Australia. If you are a tourist and you leave without trying it then go. This place is not meant for you.
The flavouring was quite sweet because of the pieces of white chocolate, but I loved the salted caramel taste to it! Just wished it was frozen a bit more as it was a bit runny when we purchased it. Tiramisu My gelato. It was a choice between green tea and tiramisu but Mr C and I always have green tea ice cream so I went for the tiramisu this time! I was super happy with mine, I loved the pieces of tiramisu cake inside, and it was freshly made fr
Excellent Gelato. Gelato Messina is always packed at Bondi Beach... and it's no surprise why.
Their gelato is always delicious, well-priced and they mix the flavours up regularly too to keep it fresh.
Nothing bad to say about this place at all.
Their newest shop in Sydney is small and has no seating area but that doesn't stop the crowd who come to have their delicious gelato. I tried their banana split and my favourite white choc and salted caramel which were both nice.
Gelato Messina in the heart of Bondi. Some really interesting flavours - but more ice cream than gelato. The Pistachio Praline was nice, but sort of like Connoisseur ice cream, rich and heavy.
Cookies and Cream similar story. Ice cream. Nice but rich. Milk Choc with peanut fudge also nice, rich.
Nice place to visit.
One of the finest gelato parlours we've ever visited. Ok, it's expensive but you have to pay for quality, fresh ingredients and perfect serving temperature. The serving size is generous so you're still getting value for money. The queues show we're not alone commending this regular occasional treat! Highly recommended.
One of the best gelato places in Sydney. There was a variety of flavours and sorbet as well. I recommend the raspberry sorbet, bounty and chocolate and pistachio ice cream as they were delicious.
Outstanding icecream and service. They have a variety of icecreams and sorbets, and also offer cakes you can purchase. Interior is designed nicely, quite small and no seating, however this isn't an issue. Would highly recommend for people at Bondi wanting quality and delicious icecream to purchase and consume while exploring.
I can not NOT recommend this place enough. The ice creams here are to die for. If there is one shop (well maybe two) outside of Italy to go for gelato it would be here.
Haven't had the chance to try their thick shakes though. There's an excuse right there to make another trip to the land down under.
This is worth lining up for. It would be nice if the changing flavours could have more vegan options! Otherwise the permanent vegan options are delicious enough.
I love this spot! I was only in Sydney for 24 hours and my friend gave me the grand tour. When in Bondi Beach, I wanted sorbet and this place looked amazing. We stopped in and it was the absolute best. I ordered the Blood Orange Sorbet and it was AMAZING.
One of the best gelato place in Sydney, friendly staff and quick service, would definitely recommend.
