Best gelato I’ve had in Syd so far! I had the Japanese green tea and passion fruit flavour. Both flavours were well balanced. One wasn’t overly sweet and the other wasn’t overly sour. Not overly creamy and rich. It was smooth and very refreshing. It’s a shame they only do 6 flavours at a time but I believe with expansion they’ll be able to make more flavours
Got the pistachio flavour here and really enjoyed it. Strong pistachio flavour and the texture was so smooth and amazing although it did get a bit sweet towards the end
Tried their Mandarin and Truffle flavour. Their gelato is not as thick, creamy yet flavourful. Not as dense as other gelato more smooth in texture. Amazing place to try.
I had heard very good things about Mapo and I couldn’t wait to try. I was not disappointed. It’s definitely the best gelato I have eaten outside of Italy. The gelati are made with natural raw ingredients on a daily basis using just one machine that both pasteurises and churns the gelato. Their gelato is so creamy and my favourite flavour was definitely the pistachio. I will be returning time and time again! #mapo
Best Gelato in Sydney!!
Both spectrum of flavours are done well so there's something for every gelato lover! The texture is so velvety and smooth that any other gelato I've had doesn't compare.
The most amazing smooth and creamy gelato. We loved the Pepe saya caramel and macadamia
This is a really nice gelato shop in Newtown. The texture is really smooth and the flavours are pretty good. So far, I like hojicha (roasted green tea), genmaicha (green tea and brown rice) and pistachio best. The Pepe Saya butter and ea salt caramel one was a bit too sweet for me. Happy to come back and try their other flavours!!
I came here on a sunny afternoon, looking for something to cool myself down with. I ordered 1 scoop with pistachio and almond. I love nut flavoured gelato. My friends have been telling me to visit Mapo because of the smooth consistency of the gelato. They were not wrong! My favourite flavour was the pistachio because it was very clearly pistachio. The almond on the other hand, was disappointing because it was too watery.
I think it's great to have 1 scoop 2 flavours because it means you can try more flavours. I love how they do seasonal flavours with high percentages of real fruit. I will be back to try different flavours!
First time trying vegan ice cream - hojicha was lovely, strong flavour. Hazelnut was tasty too. Used to ice cream with heavier texture but this was nice for a change. Service was friendly.

Probably my favourite icecream place in Sydney right now. Friendly staff, good range of flavours and the icecream is so creamy unlike other stores around the area.
Might be my new favourite gelato parlour
Absolutely delicious
Ever changing flavours and made fresh each day, although I was slightly disappointed not to see lemon on the menu. I guess I’ll have to keep coming back until it arrives. Sacrifices, sacrifices.
All very reasonably priced to top things off.
Very yummy gelato! Melts slightly quickly, but the flavours were good. Very clean and neat place. Will definitely be back if we happen to be around.
The milk flavour was a but ordinary but the banana flavour was strong and the boyfriend loved it.
Super creamy ice cream and flavours are really rich. Top flavour by a mile is the pear and ginger as it’s light compared to the heavier sweeter flavours like the rich chocolate and salted caramel 🍦🍐
This must be close to the best gelato in Sydney. Super smooth and creamy. All the flavours were distinct and delicious but not overly sweet or overpowering. Tried the ricotta with lemon zest, peanut butter and nectarine. Peanut butter was a standout with a bit of smokiness to it. Highly recommend you give it a try.
Delicious. I'd go back to try more flavours. The chocolate is like Nutella only better. I tried the banana and rockmelon. They use real fruit and create their ice cream on premise. They offer takeaway tubs as well.
Soft, smooth and creamy. The flavours aren't too heavy nor dense - just right. Only downside is the gelato can sometimes melt too quickly on a warmer day so you'll try to eat it quicker and before you know it, you're wanting seconds. 🍦
Really nice gelato and decent prices!
The store itself is quite small, not really anywhere to sit - but it’s not really necessary anyway! The gelato here is nice and smooth and there are a good range of flavours available too. Service was decent and efficient.
I also liked how there were a lot of options that were non-dairy, including both fruity and non-fruity flavours. You can also have two flavours as one scoop, for $6!! I had the macadamia flavour. It wasn’t overly sweet and it had real macadamia chunks in it!
I also got to taste the pistachio, the gianduja (like Nutella), and the salted caramel. The gianduja was pretty rich, but definitely nice if you like Nutella. The salted caramel flavour was also really good! The pistachio flavour was a bit strong in my opinion - definitely wouldn’t be able to have a whole scoop of it, but it wasn’t bad.
Would definitely come back if I’m in the area :)
