Book NowAbout Geloso Gelateria
Tucked inside Queen Victoria Market’s F Shed, Geloso Gelateria churns cold fuel straight from neighboring fruit stalls. Market shoppers steer newcomers here for generous sample spoons and cups scooped side by side rather than stacked in a column—so salted caramel and mandarin hit cleanly in one spoonful. A deliberate mantecatura keeps the texture dense without weighing you down. When afternoon fatigue sets in, the move is an affogato, pulled with house beans through a manual press over gelato. Portions easily split between two while pacing the aisles.
- House-Pressed Affogato: Espresso is extracted from custom house beans on a manual press, melting hot over cold scoops for a rich balance of bitter and sweet.
- Side-by-Side Scoops: Dual orders arrive placed side-by-side rather than stacked vertically, letting distinct flavors be enjoyed simultaneously.
- Market Stroll Refreshment: Generous portions and patient sample spoons offer an invigorating recharge right beside the active market stalls.

Side-by-Side Scoop Presentation

we like how the flavours are served side by side instead of on top of each other.
Ursa Bear House-Pressed Dedicated Bean Affogato
Affogatos avoid automated pod extractions by pairing gelato with freshly pulled espresso from dedicated house coffee beans and a manual press.
Using their own beans and press makes the espresso sooo much richer too.

James Clarke Creative Gelato Coffee Pairings
Patrons are encouraged to veer beyond traditional vanilla affogatos to discover inventive pairings like house espresso poured over fruit and strawberry gelato.
The default is to have vanilla ice cream with the espresso. But try the strawberry one instead. It’s mind blowing.

Choose a Cup for Side-by-Side Scoops
Geloso serves scoops side by side rather than stacked vertically. To keep melting gelato from dripping down your hands while navigating the market stalls, choose a cup over a cone.
Plan to Share the Generous Portions
Servings are noticeably generous and easily fuel two people. If you are snacking your way through Queen Victoria Market, plan to share a single order between two.
Customize Your House-Pressed Affogato
The house affogato extracts espresso from proprietary beans using a manual press. Vanilla is the standard scoop, but staff happily pour hot espresso over fruit gelato like strawberry for a balanced bitter-sweet treat.
