Hi everyone.. this is a difficult one hence the long post. Please take a second to read it if you have time.
In light of recent events, we have already increased health and safety measures with regards to hygiene, preventing cross-contamination, more frequent sanitisation and more. Not only are we doing this in stores but also in our HQ / production facility to help protect our staff, our families and of course our customers. We have extremely strict policies in place already (HACCP and AQIS accreditation requires it) but we’ve stepped things up a notch just to be sure.
Almost everything we sell is produced in-house, in a highly controlled environment. As such, we can confidently keep supplying our stores, and customers with gelato.
- Almost all of our products are made from raw materials in our highly regulated factory in Rosebery. Even before COVID-19 was a thing, our compliance requirements are such that we maintain extremely high levels of hygiene and cleanliness. To be safe, we’ve reviewed these processes and have already stepped things up where required.
- All of our stores have also stepped up extra hygiene and sanitisation practices, and have implemented ways to ensure that customer service is almost entirely ‘contactless’. Please try to avoid cash payments where possible. Pay by the Messina App and you don’t even need to tap your card!
- Stores are still open, and we encourage you to come get your fix. We are obviously encouraging customers to steer clear of stores if you are feeling unwell or have flu-like symptoms.
- Don’t forget, as a last resort home delivery is available via Deliveroo which means you don’t even need to leave your couch!
It's actually a very safe environment to buy food. So don’t just hide away and hoard bog roll!
Please help us uphold a high level of hygiene, cleanliness and do your best to practice social distancing when you visit. By doing so, we feel that everyone will be able to enjoy their Messina (unless everything gets shut down entirely!).
Stay safe.

Gelato Messina on Crown Street in Surry Hills is a must-visit for anyone who loves gelato. With a range of flavors that change regularly, there is always something new and exciting to try. The Gelato Messina team are constantly coming up with creative combinations such as the CARMS-A-SUTRA - white chocolate and strawberry gelato with macadamia crunch or the SHAZ-MATAZZ - earl grey tea gelato with condensed milk cheesecake and vanilla shortbread. The TWIXED - milk chocolate gelato with shortbread and caramel is so delicious that someone should make it into a chocolate bar! For those who love coconut and lime, the 3 6 9 COCONUT & LIME baked cheesecake gelato is a must-try. And if you're feeling adventurous, try the FAT CLEMENZA - ricotta gelato with cannoli shells, citron & chocolate chips, which is the head chef's favorite flavor. Gelato Messina also offers limited edition flavors like the Neapolitan Messinetta which was sold out quickly but can be ordered online at their website. With its constantly changing menu of unique and delicious flavors, Gelato Messina is definitely worth a visit for any ice cream lover in Sydney.
