Spoon Bay Gelato (formerly Mr Goaty) is the food baby of Dan and Julia. Married to each other and to the serious job of making gelato.

The concept is inspired by Dan and Julia’s childhood and travel adventures. Dan grew up in rural England and Greece, and Julia in Bondi Beach. After meeting in France where Dan was a private chef and Julia a hungry traveller, they moved across Europe and the UK before settling in sunny Sydney.

The first batches of (Mr Goaty) gelato were churned in a tiny home kitchen in Bronte Beach. In between working long nights as a chef at the Three Blue Ducks and running around after a new baby, Dan perfected his signature flavours, testing them out on family and friends (they didn’t mind).

A few months on, in the midst of a Sydney “winter”, the first scoops were sold at Bondi Markets.

In 2016 more room for their growing family and uncrowded surf breaks, Dan and Julia moved to the Central Coast and never looked back.

Spoon Bay Gelato is a proud Coastie product, made with locally-sourced ingredients and often found at beachside markets and pop-ups.

Thanks to our incredible team of gelato makers and scoopers you can hire our Gelato Bikes for weddings, parties and events across Sydney, Newcastle, the Hunter and beyond!
