“Coffee and gelato - simple”

Boardwalk Gelateria and Espresso
Ranked #6 of 15 Quick Bites in Merimbula
Restaurant details
Reviewed 31 March 2018

Plenty of seating to choose from. Dining on the waterfront is so very pleasant.

I ordered a coffee and personally found it a little bitter - but that could just be me.

I did however also have an ice cream, mango coconut in a waffle cone, and was not disappointed.

Service was fast, even though they had quite a lot of customers at the time.

They do often baked goods, small cakes, toasted sandwiches, but nothing substantial.

Lots of Australian coffee shops offer gelato and I wanted to try this one to see how authentic it was. Having been to Capri in Italy last year and eaten the most wonderful gelato ever I can say that nowhere else has offered the same standard. This is apparently because in Italy there are very strict laws governing how much fruit/nut puree and other ingredients are used. This doesn't apply anywhere else so I don't think I will find true gelato in many places outside Italy. However, the gelato here was quite good, soft in texture and a good flavour, about 14 flavours on offer if I remember correctly. The place is very small, you can sit in but we opted to take out.

We came for a few scoops of gelato! Gelato was delicious. My partner saw that they had cheap waffles too, so we settled for one as an early lunch- this was very tasty! Great value for money. The staff (young man & lady) were very friendly and efficient. A very relaxed atmosphere.

Pleasant spot for the morning's first - looks over the lake (a much more pleasant outlook than its neighbours), serves excellent coffee and really well made brekkie jaffles.
