Best Ice Cream Parlors to Hit When It Gets Too Hot in Sydney

If you’re looking for the best ice cream and gelato in the world, Sydney can impress you with its selection. The perfect time for an ice cream parlor tour is in summer, which arrives in December and dwindles by March. (Don’t you just love the idea of enjoying a cone by Bondi Beach or while taking a stroll around the iconic Sydney Opera House?) But prepare to double up on the scoops even outside these months. Ice cream parlors are almost everywhere, so naming the best ice cream and gelato in Sydney would be tough. If you don’t know which frozen treat to try, here’s a list of the best ice cream parlors to hit in Sydney when it gets too hot:
