Gelato By The Scoop

Gelato is what people write home about, pistachio, almond, lemon, dark chocolate and more on the counter. There is coffee too, along with toasted sandwiches, pastries and cakes.

A Warm Welcome

It is a small room, and you tend to be greeted the moment you walk in. Customers mention the friendly owners, the mini galleries of work by local artists on the walls, and toys for children.

Start With The Pistachio

The board changes, so there is usually something new next to the regulars. Pistachio, almond and lemon all have their champions, and the sorbets are worth a look. Ask the counter what is fresh and we will tell you.

I tried the almond gelato at Two Little Giraffes and it was absolutely delicious smooth, creamy, and full of that rich roasted almond flavour without being too sweet.

Delicious homemade gelato. Really fresh, a nice range of flavours - their lemon one is amazing and they support local artists by having mini galleries on their walls.
