About Augustus Gelatery + Acai Geelong

Augustus Gelatery delivers generous scoops of creamy gelato and acai right in the heart of Geelong. Post-match footy crowds and moviegoers pack the counter after dark, sampling through heaps of rotating tubs—from rich mascarpone and hot honey to plant-based chocolate brownie and tangy pineapple-lychee sorbet. Guests with dietary needs get real peace of mind here, thanks to vigilant allergen sheets, tucked-away gluten-free cones, and servers who gladly open a fresh tub with clean utensils. Snag a seat along the wide bay windows or out on the curb to dig into a stacked cup before it drips.

  • Strict Coeliac & Allergy Care: Staff consult dedicated allergy sheets, use separate utensils, and scoop directly from fresh tubs alongside safely stored gluten-free cones.
  • Dedicated Plant-Based Cabinet: An expansive cabinet features dairy-free options like chocolate brownie alongside vegan fruit sorbets like raspberry and pineapple lychee.
  • Late Post-Event Hangout: Spill out onto the curb or linger by the open bay windows after dinner or an evening footy match.
