French vanilla, summer berry, pistachio, hokey pokey – oh my! Who doesn’t love a sweet, cold, creamy scoop of top-quality ice cream from the local ice creamery?
If you’re on the hunt for the best cones and cups in the Canberra region, you’ve landed in the right place. We took on the oh-so-sweet task of asking Canberra locals to share their favourite ice cream shops in the region. Now, the results are in.
In this article, we will share the top three ice creameries in Canberra according to you. Let’s get started right away.
What makes an excellent ice creamery?
The most essential trait of an excellent ice creamery is – of course – extremely delicious ice cream. But what else should you look for in a local ice creamery? Start with this:
- A fantastic flavour selection. Are you more of a salted caramel person? Or a mango sorbet person? We all have our own unique flavour preferences when it comes to ice cream. And the best ice creameries cater to them all.
- Friendly staff.Getting ice cream is fun for the whole family. The last thing you want is a disgruntled, rude staff member ruining the upbeat mood.
- Fair pricing. Gourmet sorbet and artisan gelato are great. So, too, is good old-fashioned ice cream. Whatever you choose, expect to pay a fair price.

Mr. Frugii
This family-owned and operated business is committed to one thing, and one thing only: seriously good ice cream. Mr. Frugii is a small-time operation that creates some of the most uniquely flavoured ice creams in Canberra: think black truffle, jackfruit, musk stick, and milk choc cereal. They also serve up great coffee, tea, and too-cute-to-eat sweets.
Goodberry’s Creamery
The team behind Goodberry’s Creamery believes that fresh, all-natural ingredients result in the very best ice cream – and when you sample their delectable range of ice cream, you’ll see why. The ice cream at Goodberry’s is rich, smooth, and much creamier than conventional ice cream. Why? Because it’s made the old-fashioned way: by freezing decadent custard. Drop into their Erindale and Belconnen stores and taste the difference yourself.
Gelato Messina Braddon
Gelato Messina may be a nation-wide chain of ice creameries, but their delicious gelatos and sorbets are anything but ordinary. Using the best quality ingredients they can get their hands on, the team behind the Gelato Messina store in Braddon create an exciting array of flavours, as well as their iconic, quirky gelato cakes.
