Right on the Scarborough Esplanade, Dumbo Gelato churns fresh batches of gelato artigianale built for sunset walks and coastal heat. Queues spill onto the pavement on warm evenings, but scoops move fast. Regulars make a beeline for the Aussie Salted Caramel—spiked with a savory kick of Vegemite instead of sea salt—or Gorilla Biscuits for crunch folded into banana. Take a cone, claim a beachside bench to watch the world go by, and catch the sea breeze.
- Inventive Signature Scoops: House-churned scoops featuring unconventional signatures like banana-packed Gorilla Biscuits and Aussie salted caramel with a hint of Vegemite.
- Fresh Daily Churns: Crafted on site every day using genuine fruit and local ingredients for pure, punchy flavor.
- Esplanade Coastal Setting: Perched right along The Esplanade, ideal for outdoor bench seating, people-watching, and sunset beach strolls.

Before you head over
Helpful tips on managing weekend lines, flavor availability, and coastal visits. Check the website to plan your sweet stop.
Expect Peak Lines to Move Quickly
Lines can spill onto the street during warm weekend afternoons and evenings, but the staff keeps the counter moving swiftly so the wait stays manageable.
Visit Earlier for Full Flavor Variety
Because flavors are churned fresh, high-demand options can sell out by mid-afternoon on busy days; head in earlier for the widest selection.
Mind the Coastal Sun and Secure Seating
Warm coastal sunshine melts cones rapidly—order a cup if you plan a slow walk, or grab one of the Esplanade benches to eat comfortably.
