About Swan River Gelato

For a proper post-dinner passeggiata in Freo, Swan River Gelato churns dense, authentic scoops that easily outperform the usual chains. Stretchy classics like roasted hazelnut and Baci anchor the counter, balanced by dairy-free fruit sorbets—watermelon mint and dragonfruit lime cut through a heavy meal with clean, sharp brightness. Staff patiently offer tasting spoons before you commit, and regulars know to look out for the warm Nutella tap running right beside the display.

  • Herb-Infused Sorbets: Signature herbal and fruit infusions like watermelon mint and dragonfruit lime offer a tart, light alternative to dairy scoops.
  • Rich Italian Classics: Traditional churning yields a dense, stretchy texture across staples like roasted hazelnut, Baci, and Mars.
  • Warm Nutella Tap: An in-store tap dispenses warm Nutella directly over cones and cups.
  • Accommodating Tastings: Patient staff guide guests through extensive options, readily scooping samples and highlighting allergy-safe, dairy-free flavours.
