Artisan gelato by the Broadwater, Labrador
Home of the mini scoop. A different flavour in every one.
Made here in Labrador in small batches, with a cabinet full of classics, unexpected combinations and plenty of reasons to try something new.
- Dairy free & vegan — usually 8 or more in the cabinet
- Champion Flavoured Ice Cream or Gelato of Show, 2026
- Free underground parking at the Aqua Complex


The Wonderland Way
Why choose one?
At Gelato Wonderland, we scoop things a little differently.
Our mini scoops let you explore more of the cabinet in a single serve. Choose three flavours in a Piccolo, six in a Medio or nine in a Grande — or choose the same favourite more than once. It's entirely up to you.
Not sure about something? Ask us for a taste. Finding a new favourite is half the fun.
What's scooping?
Typical flavours
Our cabinet changes as we make and rotate flavours. Take a look before you visit, discover something new, or start choosing your mini scoops.
- Tea Time Dream – TiramisuDairy
- Golden Crunch – BiscoffVegan
- Wonder Zest – LemonSorbet
- Nutknockle – SnickersDairy
- The Green Queen's Delight – PistachioVegan
- Crimson Wonderland – Blood OrangeSorbet
- +18 more in the cabinet
Ask us about allergens before ordering.
About a third of the cabinet is dairy free
Not one lonely option on the end of the tray. Creamy plant-based gelato and fruit sorbets together are usually about a third of what’s in the cabinet — enough to fill a whole Piccolo, Medio or Grande without touching dairy at all, and enough that the choice is a real one.
They are judged, too: silver in Class 10, Non-Animal Milk, and silver in three of the four sorbet classes at the 2026 Royal Queensland Awards.
Vegan & dairy free Fruit sorbets
A little Wonderland. A lot of gold.
We entered the Royal Queensland Awards Ice Cream, Gelato & Sorbet Competition to find out how our gelato measured up beyond our own cabinet.
In 2026, Pear & Ginger won gold in Class 6 and was named Champion Flavoured Ice Cream or Gelato of Show, alongside gold medals for Chocolate (Class 2), French Vanilla Bean (Class 1) and Strawberry (Class 3).
We love making playful flavours. We’re equally serious about making them well. See our awards →
Made here. Chosen carefully.
We make our gelato here in Labrador in small batches, using carefully selected ingredients including Maleny Dairies milk and cream and premium Italian gelato ingredients.
The result is the part that matters: gelato we’re proud to scoop for you. Behind the scenes →
The idea that followed us home
Years before Gelato Wonderland existed, a little gelateria on the Venetian island of Burano changed the way we thought about gelato.
We ordered two flavours. Finished them. Looked at each other — and immediately went back for two more. Not because we were still hungry. Because there were too many interesting flavours left to discover.
That feeling eventually became part of the idea behind Wonderland. Our story →

“Blown away by the flavours, the young assistant sold me on the fact that their Gelato is made onsite, this is by far the best I have had on the Gold Coast. Very creamy and smooth, not grainy at all. We had the White Rabbit, pistachio and the passion fruit. So much to choose from. 10/10”

“What a fantastic experience! 3 scoops in a mini cup!!! I didn’t have to choose ‘just one’! And I’m Gluten and Dairy free too! Delish 😋”
Tina Rothlisberger · Review on Google ★★★★★
“Absolutely delicious! Tried a few gelato flavours and they were all really creamy and full of flavour. I like their way of scooping; as one scoop you get three slightly smaller scoops of three different flavours. Excellent! The owner (Kyle) is very friendly. I’m very happy to support small local businesses like this one!”

“Best gelato on the Gold Coast! Great range of dairy free options, the Biscoff one is the top pick”
Abac Klemno · Review on Google ★★★★★
“Such a treat to find an ice cream shop that actually takes vegan options seriously instead of offering one sad sorbet! Gelato Wonderland has not 2 or 3 but 8!! vegan flavours and they were ALL amazing (yes, we tried them all thanks to mini scoops ). You can tell real care goes into the recipes because usual dairy options like chocolate, pistachio or biscoff were super rich and creamy in their vegan options. Staff were super friendly and happy to help with the choice, which was already made easy as vegan flavours are grouped together on one side of the freezer and well labelled, which makes a big difference when you're used to double-checking everything. They were also kind enough to check (and even show me!) ingredients for the cones and turned out these are vegan too! Highly recommend for vegans especially (but not only of course) - Gelato Wonderland has the best ice cream I've had since going vegan, definitely best in Gold Coast, and I'm sooo happy to find this gem of a place! We'll be back FOR SURE!”

“10/10 Best vegan gelato on the Gold Coast! Gluten free options and 8 vegan flavours to choose from. Vegans, tell your mates!”
Letitia [Teesh] Weir · Review on Google ★★★★★
“We had a fantastic experience here, the gelato (made with local Maleny Milk) was out of this world! The staff were so friendly and even had a chat with the store owner. We loved that even a small tub, you can select 3 different flavours. Pricing was very reasonable, the range of flavours made the decision difficult but appreciated the taste testing. This should be a MUST TRY! Support this local family business, we look forward to stopping in every time we come visit the Coast!”
Larissa Kingston · Review on Google ★★★★★
“Gelato wonderland is awesome! They have amazing flavours to choose from and cater to gluten and dairy free too. The best part about this shop is not just the delicious icecream but instead of one scoop of icecream you can choose three baby mini scoops so you experience 3 flavours at once in the price of one scoop! Customer service was the best too!!!We will always go back!”
Nicole Saleh · Review on Google ★★★★★
“OMG, this gelato didn't disappoint! I was drawn in by the great reviews and I usually don't order chocolate gelato, but it was so smooth and velvety. The licorice was also amazing and the balance in flavours was spot on, it wasn't overpowering and I kept on going for more. Wishing the owner the very best. Do yourself a favour and visit this new gelato gem!”
Kylie Bovill · Review on Google ★★★★★

Emma Warner · Review on Google ★★★★★
“Gelato Wonderland is hands down the best spot for ice cream in Labrador! The flavours are incredible and they’re always changing things up so there’s something new to try every time we visit. The quality is amazing and you can tell a lot of care goes into what they make. The service is just as good as the gelato, always friendly and always welcoming. My kids absolutely rate it and always insist on going back!”

“This is the best gelati on the Gold Coast. We have been coming back weekly and bringing friends who are also so impressed. My personal favourite is passionfruit, rum and raisin and salted caramel. Highly recommend. Well done on your amazing products.”
Nicholas Ellis · Review on Google ★★★★★
“Just had to rave about Gelato Wonderland after my latest visit – this place is an absolute gem on the Gold Coast! Tucked away in the Aqua Complex on Marine Parade in Labrador, it’s a cozy, family-run spot where everything feels handmade with love. They churn their gelato fresh daily using top-notch ingredients like Maleny Dairies milk and cream, and it shows in every scoop. But let’s talk about the star of the show: Rumbeliciousious (Rum & Raisin). Oh. My. Goodness. This isn’t your average rum & raisin – it’s next-level creamy perfection. The base is unbelievably smooth and velvety, like the creamiest custard you’ve ever dreamed of, with that rich, luxurious mouthfeel that just melts on your tongue. It’s not overly sweet, which lets the subtle rum warmth shine through without overpowering. And those plump, rum-soaked raisins? Generously scattered throughout and dotted right on top – they’re juicy, boozy little bursts of flavor that add the perfect chewy contrast to the ultra-creamy texture. Every bite feels indulgent yet balanced, gluten-free too, and dairy-free options are clearly marked if needed. I couldn’t stop at one scoop – the creaminess is so addictive that it makes you want to savor every last bit. Friendly staff, fun vibe, and flavors that actually deliver on their names (this one’s truly “Rumbeliciousious”!). If you’re on the Gold Coast and craving something special, swing by Gelato Wonderland – this rum & raisin is worth the trip alone. 10/10, will be back for more! 🍨✨”

“How good is this. Myriad of flavours with others being introduced all the time. Latest is Green Apple. Sorbets and Gelati. Flavours all delicious. Strawberry a stand-out. Kyle is a great guy who knows his stuff. A great customer experience. Great location, water views. Very much recommended.”
Lisa Stubičan · Review on Google ★★★★★
“The gelato is absolutely delicious! There is always a huge range of dairy-free and vegan flavours. As someone who can’t have dairy, it’s honestly so rare (and so appreciated) to have this many options that don’t feel like an afterthought — and that taste incredible. You can tell a lot of care goes into what they make, and the atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. We’re so lucky to have this place locally!”
Craige Moritz · Review on Google ★★★★★
“I'm so glad we stopped in here. The sorbet flavours were intense and so fresh. For the mini, which comes with 3 small scoops, you can get three different flavours! I'm a sucker for value and that is a win for sure! Friendly staff and such a cute little store. Do yourself a favour and make the effort to come here. Well worth it for an amazing treat! I can't get over the flavours!! Give me another now! Heads up you don't buy scoops here, you buy the size. The piccolo (small) comes with three mini scoops, each a different flavour if you want. Totally up to you.”
Maggie Anoya · Review on Google ★★★★★
“My review is a bit delayed from when I last visited, but I promised myself to always share a great experience because I’m the type of gal that trusts someone that takes the time to leave reviews. The gelato is absolutely delicious! I tried the pistachio and the Ferrero when I visited and my mouth is watering just recalling the experience. Keep in mind that they rotate flavors, so if you have a favourite - it may or may not be available the next time you go. It does encourage you to try new flavors though! Highly recommend 🤍”
mike wilson · Review on Google ★★★★★
“I’ve just left this gelato place and I already wanna come back. The gelato here is actually so good. The biscoff gelato, for example has a very rich “biscoffy” like flavour and the peach one tastes like if peach and ice cream had a baby, it’s incredible. I would highly recommend coming here!!!”
Phil D · Review on Google ★★★★★
“We were leaving the Gold Coast to return to our home west of Brisbane. Used Google to find Gelato and wow! What a find! Gelato Wonderland by far exceeded our expectations. The young staff were so polite and helpful and the product was amazing, made on site from Maleny Milk and Cream. It was seriously the smoothest, creamiest Gelato we have had anywhere. So good we bought seconds! We’ll definitely be back!”
Rebecca Schneider · Review on Google ★★★★★
“Absolutely obsessed with this ice cream shop! I’ve honestly never had ice cream this yummy and full of flavour anywhere else. Every scoop tastes like heaven! 😍 Highly recommend for all Gold Coasters who love ice cream — you definitely don’t want to miss this place. We feel so lucky to live nearby because we can pop in almost every day… and trust me, we do! 😝🍦✨ If you’re an ice cream lover, this is your new favourite spot!”

“J'ai demandé au Butter Bodega à côté, pendant que je prenais mon café, s'ils avaient une recommandation pour une bonne glace. Et elle m'a conseillé de venir à côté. Franchement, la serveuse était adorable, le prix est plus que raisonnable et les glaces sont vraiment excellentes. Je conseille vivement. Je reviendrais avec mes enfants!!”
