Welcome to Spoon Bay Gelato

There’s no roadmap for a little Aussie gelato business. Making it up, mixing it up, trying new stuff, experimenting, imagining, growing, paring back and refining. That’s how we create our product and service and how our business continues to evolve.

Way back in 2015 we had an idea. On a whim and with the memory of eating goat’s milk yogurt, honey and lavender in Turkey, we started making goat’s milk gelato.

Mr Goaty was a hit at Bondi markets and cool enough to get the write ups in Broadsheet. Things were happening, you could find our tubs in us in shop freezers and IGA.

Then we moved to the Central Coast and found our place. Sunny and slower. A place you can live and work and still feel like you’re on holiday. Where nature is everything and everywhere. We found our people, a earthy community of fun and food lovers.

Our lives changed and broadened, so did the business.

We weren’t making gelato with goat’s milk anymore.

Julia (ie. Mrs Goaty) was also running the show alongside Dan. And we were having babies, buying a vintage ice cream van and four gelato bikes, opening a gelato bar and cafe then selling it, and scooping gelato at thousands of weddings, parties, pop-ups and events.

We outgrew our space, bought a warehouse and built our dream gelato kitchen, with fior di latte tiles and a pistachio colored floor. Cow’s milk was the prime ingredient but still the name stayed.

So much of the business seedling is still there. Quality, taste, texture, adventure, freshness. But in big and small ways we’ve shifted. This is why we changed our name to Spoon Bay Gelato.

It’s one of our favourite places. It’s small and special, a bit wild, changing form with tides and seasons.

Gelato is fun, but we take our product, sustainability and inclusivity very seriously. Whether you buy a $6.50 scoop at a farmers market or book a $1,650 wedding package the experience is essentially the same. A delicious treat, made by real people with love and care to the highest standards. 

One of the best parts of our story is the people we have worked with and befriended over the last nine years. Customers who invited us to their most important and meaningful celebrations. Companies and charities who trust us to deliver the goods. And the lovely folks and families that follow us and appear so often at markets and pop ups to buy our stuff. We see you. Even if Dan doesn’t seem to remember your name.

Place is important. It links our senses, our experiences and our feeling of connection.

We are in our sweet spot. For now.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
