They have lots of vegan gelato here. Hazelnut is definitely my favourite!!
As for non vegan flavours, the pistachio and salty macadamia are also winners.
Love the gelato here as they’re not as sweet as other popular ones in the area.
Warm and toasty inside the shop even when it’s freezing outside.
Will be back to try more flavours.

GELATO that is as honest as it can get... @gelatocompa features simple house made artisanal flavours through ingredients sourced locally from farms in the Yarra Valley, no artificial colors or flavours used and a vision to capture the hearts of each and every Melbournian that offer a variety that would cater to every one out there....

They also have a giveaway going on with a twist...🍬🍬 Give them a new flavour to create and if your flavour wins, your Gelato will feature on their Menu.. check the giveaway post at @gelatocompa ... 👌👌 while you think of new flavours, I am still buzzing from the ripe red berry gelato I had that I just couldn't get enough of. 🌟🌟
#mojolevel 5/5
Such an overlooked gem. I hear everyone speaking of Pidapipó, Messina, Piccolina... but never have I heard any hype about this place. Even the reviews reflect this - 12 reviews (only!) so far for Compá, but really we should only pay attention to the 5 that actually have a proper review and ratings - and so far they give 5 out of 5. The other 3 gelaterias have heaps of reviews... heaps !
So why do I like this place so much ? The gelato is just as good as the others' - creamy, flavoursome, sweet but not overly so. Some beautiful flavours - I had orange infused ricotta and cinnamon, but it was a struggle to pick with so many good flavours. I noticed as well that the gelato was stored in canisters set in the table (like Pidapipó and Piccolina) so for gluten free diets, I think it's fairly safe from cross-contamination.
And crazily enough, there were gluten free cones !!!! It's been a while since I've had gelato, but I don't recall having the option of a gluten free cone at the other gelaterias the past (numerous) times I've been there.
The server was super friendly too, and indulged my two friends and I as we had samples of nearly all of the gelato there. I know that's not uncommon for a gelateria, but I'd be singing a different tune if we couldn't...
So if you're looking for great gelato AND you're gluten intolerant/coeliac, this may be the place for you !
