They had a wide variety of flavours, but lacked the simple stuff.
They didn't have plain strawberry, or plain lemon; only strawberry & banana or the lemon with mint. They had plenty of vegan options too, as well as a wide variety of extras you could sprinkle on.
The overall flavour was good, the iced cream waffle cones weren't as good as I had hoped.
If I had to be nit picky, I'd say my biggest issue was the lack of a place to wash hands. It is iced cream and tissues just don't cut it.
We paid $21 for 3 cones. The Bueno cream was amazing. I always used to get white chocolate & cookies and cream. The lemon mint is great, I personally did not like the strawberry banana.
The lack of English with the staff members is kinda upsetting, I mean we're in Bondi, hire at least 1 Aussie local.

Ice cream all year round, definitely ok with me.
Anita has such a big selection and it is delicious, they also have waffles/milkshakes and frozen yoghurt with a topping bar (you can load anything with what you like).
This location is perfectly paired with Bondi beach across the road, again perfect all year round.

Gelato, Waffles, Frozen Yoghurt, Shakes..you name it, they have it. Display cabinet of different gelatos is fantastic. Almost hard to choose because you want to get them all. They always give you a little taste if you are interested, “so try before you buy” option is awesome. I am loving gelato even in the winter, perfect anytime of the year!!!

Despite a cloudy, windy day, I headed on over to Anita Bondi Beach for some of the best gelato!
We asked the amazing team to surprise us with gelato flavours but also requested that they include the two limited edition Christmas flavours.. ‘Gingerbread with Caramel Cookies’ and ‘Pecan Pie’ because they just sounded amazing! The Pecan Pie was my definitely my favourite.
As well as their famous gelato, they also serve frozen yoghurt. This was so light and refreshing. The fresh fruit gave it a little tartness which I love, as it can break up some of the sweetness. Highly recommend trying it if you haven’t before!
Another surprise were the waffles. These were just delicious. Not too dry and they were perfectly paired with with nutty chocolate drizzle, fresh strawberries and of course, gelato!
We were also given a trio of sorbets which was the winner for me. Every time I go for gelato, I always order the sorbets. The lemon/lime with mint was my favourite. This was super refreshing and it would be the one to order if you’re visiting after a big feed at one of the many surrounding restaurants in Bondi Beach.
The gelato here is truly a work of art. They’re all finished beautifully with amazing detail on some of them. It doesn’t stop there though.. walk on over to the toppings bar down the end and choose anything from delicious sauces to fresh fruits to candy and take your gelato to another level.
I can’t thank the team at the Bondi Beach store enough for such an amazing experience. If you’re heading out that way, be sure to swing by for some delicious gelato and say hi. They’re a super friendly bunch!

Friendly staff and a great selection of gelato flavours. The inside seating has a great vibe with spacious tables and chairs. Ice cream was a bit too sweet for my liking but overall great experience.
Matthias Mar
Anita’s Lemon and mint flavour is a real winner.
The staff are happy to accommodate tasting and I feel like the serving sizes are bigger when it’s less busy.
Go Bondi Anita’s!
Lorelei Carneiro
Super delicious and creamy gelato. Interesting flavours. The staff are friendly and the space is also very nice. Oh and in addition to the yummy gelato the spoons are edible chocolate biscuits!
Sami Run
Taste like heaven! One of the best desert places I have been. Staff was absolutely beautiful
Baz Juan Pablo Sanchez
Fantastic flavors to choose from sure to please the entire family. If you can put up with the long lines, you will be pleased with what is on offer

My Fave flavour would be Cookie Man, Ferrero Roche and Kinder Bueno. Their Yogurt’s amazing too especially when it’s unlimited toppings.
Yanan Zhang
mixed berry， cookie are good
Swati Kamra
One of my favourite dessert cafes in Sydney! I have tried many flavours but my favourite is chocolate, almonds and caramel. I liked the pistachio flavour too. Absolutely in love with their icecreams!
Wenzy
I always loved the cookieman but for some reason recently it has tasted strange, the milk/cream tastes very different from before and overall lacklustre... I also think there are less crunchy bits.<br/><br/>Something has definitely changed about it!
Aimee.
One of the best gelato places I’ve been to. They offer such an unique variety and selection of flavours ranging from fruity ones to more creamy chocolate ones. I got the cookie man one which had bits of biscuit- it’s a must try. Also the Oreo which tasted exactly like Oreos.
ChangEatsCheap
Definitely up there as one of my favourite ice cream places. I love Anita as it's made from 100% natural ingredients and it's bloody delicious every single time. Always fast service too. This place is always busy when I go which says a lot about the quality of the ice cream!
On The Food Hunt
My favorite gelato in Sydney ! Love their flavors, particularly cookieman, kinder bruno and their range of white chocolate flavors. The only thing is their service is pretty slow but you can sample as many flavors as you want. Would really like to try their frozen yoghurt next time!
Manz
The ice cream definitely taste great, creamy & indulgent. The service was bit average. Obviously very busy given it's location opposite the beach, there was no order or system to the madness. Seems like the staff behind the counter serves whoever they like next instead of who's been waiting longer.
Kriti
Visit this place whenever am in Bondi.They have a variety of gelato and frozen yogurt for the health conscious.You can select a variety of flavours/toppings and fruits to choose to add to the yogurt.

What a great place we walked past it on the way to eat at restaurant on Friday night and the line was way out the door always a good sign. <br/>A bit after 10pm we went in and there were still plenty of people but the lineup was not to bad.<br/>We tried the chocolate, dragon fruit, salted cashew, pavlova all outstanding nice accomodating staff great layout ticks all the boxes.

On the outside, this place is inviting even on a chilly night with its dark, chocolatey theme. However, most of the flavours are classic and/or nutty such as Vanilla, Chocolate, and Pistachio, and it was limited in terms of fruitier flavours. The service was lukewarm as we were trying out the flavours, and lacked the friendly trademark that always associates an ice cream parlour with happy memories. We had the Banana with Lotus Cream & Dark Chocolate. The Banana with Lotus Cream is somewhat refreshing, while the Dark Chocolate is really rich in flavour. High quality ice cream but a little excessively sweet. Seemed like a place that appealed to a younger crowd - it was packed with high schoolers on a Saturday night. However, this place is great for both a sweet finish to a dinner date, or a pleasant treat during a group hangout.
Co. L
The pistachios ice cream 🍦 taste amazing!<br/>Price is acceptable, two scoops of ice-cream on a cup costs $8.80.<br/>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐<br/>The staffs are friendly and quick too!<br/>
Rakelg
just tried this place and oh myy it was such a struggle choosing a flavour! they have sooo many heavenly combinations. we got the Hershey’s (which tasted exactly like the cookies and cream bar), the Cookieman tastes exactly like a biscuit, and I got the Panna Cotta and Lotus Cream which was absolutely amazing. It was a flavour of caramel biscuits and the texture is so creamy. <br/><br/>Their service was also really good because I asked to try four flavours before deciding and the guy was very nice about it. Can’t wait to go back!
Hansi Dissanayake
So many gelato flavours it was so hard to pick! All displayed beautifully and there are so many unique ones. Ended up going for a Snickers and Ferrero Rocher. Both flavours tasted exactly like the chocolates but Ferrero Rocher was my clear favourite because it was so chocolatey and had Nutella running through. Snickers was great because it had peanuts and bits of chocolate too, not as rich so it’s good if you just want a creamy treat. Overall loved it and wish it was here in New Zealand but happy to have tried it!
Pam
3.5 in reality <br/><br/>Tried cause of the hype <br/><br/>It’s creamy and flavourful. Enjoyed cookieman and the little bits in it. Honestly was a lot of icecream. <br/>$8 for 2 scoops (not that bad). Personally a lil too sweet for my liking. <br/><br/>Friendly staff. <br/>Recommended.
Alice Le
Cooooooookieman! 😍😍😍<br/>The joint is always busy and lively, and views are great as it’s next to the beach. I ordered 2 scoops of gelato, and the staff member who served me was quite stingy on the first flavour (cookieman), but gave me heaps of the second. <br/><br/>The Cookieman flavour is always a winner, best one there in my opinion! Ferrero rocher was nice when I tried it, but a whole scoop is a little overkill - too sweet and chocolatey for me.
Mistermister
Best gelato in Bondi. Awesome selection with hidden chocolate syrup additions. Plenty of seating and service is friendly. Highly recommend the almond chocolate ice cream
Tortuguita Comiendo
Lots of flavours to pick from. Friendly service.<br/>I had mochacinno this time. The coffee flavour wasn't strong and the chocolate with syrup on top was a bit sweet for me.
Hayley
The place looked extra glorious with its interior design. There are more chocolate/creamy options then fruity options, i happen to like fruity flavours. <br/><br/>I tried lemon and mint but sticked to my usual go to- coconut. There’s desiccated coconut in it, and very rich. The lemon would have been more refreshing. <br/><br/>Would be happier if they provide more refreshing options especially when it’s a hot day at bondi beach.
Victoria Dinh
OMG, it's not an overstatement that this place is the best gelato shop I've EVER had in Australia!! <br/>The staff were smiley and nice all the time! They made great suggestions for me too! I had Ferreror Rocher ice cream at that time and my friend had berries with cheesecake (i'm not so sure). <br/>I have to say that my ice cream cone tasted like heaven (c'mon I used to finish one box of Ferreror Rocher in two days)!! I can't believe that someone can actually turn it into an ice cream flavour!<br/>Plus we went to this shop last summer when Sydney was hot like boiling oil so the ice creams were absolutely heat-rescuers for us 😍<br/>Definitely come back next time when I go to Bondi beach!
Maureen Livingstone
Can't get enough of gelato! Every time I go into an ice cream shop I would say to myself I want to try a different flavor and be more adventurous, but I always end up with my fave - caramel and hazelnut. 1 scoop of salted caramel & white chocolate, and another scoop of Tiramisu & hazelnut creme. I just had to have it LOL. I like the place because it's spacey and they have tables and chairs where you can eat and enjoy your gelato.
Anna
So many different flavours to choose from! Perfect location just opposite Bondi. I love the texture of the gelato. I got the salted caramel & white choc. The white choc had big chucks which slightly overpowered the salted caramel but I still enjoyed it. Had a taste of the pistachio which was also nice. <br/><br/>The place is very busy, and the places to sit are not very clean. If only everyone cleaned after themselves or someone to spray and wipe the sticky tables once they're done.
Maurice.lim
excellent service, friendliest staff, generous servings and great selection of ice cream. we loved cookie man the most! soo good it's worth getting even when you're freezing.<br/>
Hayley
Interesting and cool looking gelato with a decent range of sorbets; unfortunately I chose passionfruit which was too sour but the strawberry was lovely. Boyfriend had a chocolate milkshake but wasn't overly impressed.
Molly Eaton
If I could review this place a million times I would. I have been here over 70 times and have never had a bad ice cream. Staff are always friendly and scoops are always a great size 😍 I've never been so excited to buy ice cream. Open more stores!!!! And see you tomorrow ;)
Yan
The staffs re so nice ,the ice cream flavors are too good to choose from.they even let me add the toppings for free!♥️♥️there's one flavor without that u hv to ask the staff for more detail !fantastic
Kay Cee
Delicious gelato! So many great flavored to choose from. Place is really cool for an afternoon treat. <br/>Great that there are coffee and tea options as well.
I_like_pickles
What a treat! This place is gelato heaven! So many flavours and so many options! <br/><br/>You can taste test flavours before you buy. It is an absolute dream looking at the mountains of fluffy and colourful gelato.
Andreea
Amazing gelato and decoration that I never saw before but also frozen yogurt with unlimited toppings,great customer service,the staff let us try as many tastes as we want.my favourite are chocolate almond and caramel,strawberries and guava and Ferrero rocher,they are all creamy and not to sweet it is a real boutique with Italian gelato🍦❤️
Katia Veggian
Best gelato in Sydney and excellent customer service! 🍧🍦 sometimes you have to wait for a bit, but it's totally worth it. Chocolate with almond and caramel and ferrero rochè are my fav ❤️
Culinary Artist
The best flavour I found was chocolate, Almond and caramel by far from this gelato.<br/>Serving size was generous and they are lots of glamour to choose from.<br/>Did try also marscapone and cherry flavour, it was good also.<br/>Will be back to try different flavour
Lien Nguyen
The gelato flavors here taste authentic and very fresh. There's also some very unique flavors and plenty of options to choose from. I really enjoy the gelato at Anita's and really think this place deserves a lot more credit for their gelato. The service may be a bit slow because so many customers want to try all their flavors but aside from that, everything is great.
Jay Contor
This place is insane! Looks the part from outside (and it's right on Bondi Beach), and you're greeted with over 20+ of the most incredible flavours. Staff were more than willing to let us try a various number of these, including Coconut, Kinder Bueno (yep this is Kinder surprise!!), Marscapone/Ricotta and Berries, Ferraro Rocher and Mint.<br/><br/>The Kinder was the pick of the bunch, I'm kinda spewing she gave me too much as i just couldn't stop. Very generous with the scoop portion, fantastic fit-out & the perfect treat for a sunny day at Bondi! 🍦
Stef.
I am absolutely in love with Anita's gelato, I think is delicious, full of flavor and they've got plenty of varieties. But there is a but and I think is quite disappointing. Last time I've been in the bondi store with some friends and we sat in front of the yogurt counter, we noticed that two of the girls serving, used their hands to put back the topping for the yogurt that had fallen down in their respective containers. Now, I understand that "one time" episode when no one is watching it can happen, we are all humans, but in an environment where you manage money and food, I am<br/>sorry but is not acceptable. It is such a poor and un respectful customer experience, that left me with such a huge concern on how this girls are trained. I am sorry Anita but the quality of the service need to respect the same standard that you have for your gelato, otherwise it won't compete in the market.
Sophie 👑
Really good ice-cream and the workers willingly give you tastings before you choose your scoops! Similar to the outlet in Chippendale, it is conveniently located across the road from Bondi Beach (a very close walk) and is extremely refreshing in cool beach weather :) My all-time favourite is still the Cookieman flavour but I am willing to try their huge range of unique flavours
Nozaira Sultana
Yumm ... yummmmn... yummmmmmmm.... this might just be my favourite gelato place. I tried the Black Forest and the dairy free dark chocolate. It's been long since I have actually liked a chocolate gelato. But Anita does it just right. Recommend for anyone who loves gelato and definitely recommended for the ones who doesn't!
Nadiaargh
AMAZING GELATO! Great flavours, lovely mood uplifting staff, and...... AMAZING GELATO!!!! I had the kinder bueno and I was left dying, craving for more. Can't describe how great my experience was, love it!
MisterFood
Top notch gelato. Go for the waffle cone you get more than in the silly cup. But if you like the cup I'm sorry I said it's silly, in truth it is a delightful and good fun cup.
Perdii
The Bueno gelato is one of my favs! 🍦<br/>Quick to melt when it's hot tho 😐<br/>Otherwise pretty good 😉<br/>
Miffy7
After having dinner nearby, we decided to check out Anita as i have tried their Chippendale location. They didn't have my favourite chestnut gelato but we were able to try a few flavours before deciding. I got 2 scoops in a cup and went for pannacotta and fig and pistachio. They were both just average and all of my family members who also got gelato commented that they preferred Messina instead.<br/>Oh well, we at least had to give this place a go.
Ilana Bueno De Mesquita
Living in Bondi is dangerous with this establishment. I couldn't recommend them enough. Their unique flavours are exactly what they are called, and their servings are generous. If you're after ice cream, you won't be disappointed.
Issac_eatsalot
Hazlenut waffle and pistachio gelato on Bondi beach for $8 👌 very creamy...flavours were recognizable but quite sweet. I prefer my pistachio a little saltier. Not as crazy as competitors but a good range 👌
Mat Roy
The gelato is so good I keep going back even though the service is always rude and slow. Please avoid the dreadlocked female staff member.<br/>Please try the black forest gelato!
Zach Kutlow
The gelato was tasty, but the girls behind the counter really didn't know much about the flavors (which is an issue when you have so many). The really annoying part is that they don't accept any sort of card. Next time I'll probably just head one of the other 45 gelato places in Bondi that do take them.
Justin Jervies
Rude as staff, was stocking up the already well full piles of cups while the line was out the door and when she did eventually serve us the woman was so rude, clearly didn't want to be there.. find a new job if you hate customers so much<br/>Nice gelato though
Ernesto Vinagre
Worst service ever!!! Very rude employees!! Tiny scoops..a complete disaster!!! I will never ever go back again..I can't stand a bad service. If you don't to work then don't do it or do something different
Princess Greedy Guts
I love the gelato from here, it reminds me of Italy. Not too creamy, not overly sweet & full of the flavours it says its supposed to be. And the scoops are generous which I love. You can go crazy with toppings here or frozen yogurt, but I can never go past the gelato. Usually I try to stop myself at 2 scoops but occasionally I have to give into temptation & have a 3rd. Yes greedy guts for a reason!
Anna
Really great gelato. It was extremely busy on a weeknight yet staff were still attending to everyone as best they could and even being the first to offer trying out different flavours. Took the opportunity to try Ferrero rocher which was far too rich and chocolatey for me, and the kiwi & banana sorbet which I too passed on. The flavours I did end up getting were so good, especially the Belgian waffle! I would definitely get this again. The mascarpone ricotta blueberries and meringue was also another great one, and they even went wonderfully together. I had passed the Chippendale outlet a few times, but now I know how good they are so I'll be sure to pop back in if I have the chance.
Vanessa
One of the best gelato places in Sydney. The gelato is really tasty and there is a great variety of flavours. While 9 dollars for three scoops is pretty pricey, it's in line with most of the other gelato places in Sydney. The scoops are pretty big and they let you try as many flavours as you like.<br/>They also have a couple of tables if you want to eat your gelato there.
Butternut Muncher
Best gelato I've ever tasted! I came here late at night and got two flavours that really stuck out to me: the kinder Bueno and the Ferraro rocher. I was shocked that just two scoops was $8, which I must admit was a massive rip off. Despite this, the taste was kinda accurate for the kinder Bueno, yet still lacked a lot of flavour. but the Ferraro? Hmm... It was just regular chocolate ice cream, nothing special. However, the gelato was very high quality, I must admit. It was very light, fluffy and smooth. Despite the taste inaccuracy, I did enjoy the gelato and the service: they let you try basically any flavour.
