Two more are a short drive south, in Gerringong and Berry. Hours change with the season and the weather, so check before you go.

It is family run, with more than 60 flavours of ice cream, gelato and sorbet, plus sundaes, shakes and a lolly room. If you cannot decide, spin the wheel of flavours and let it pick for you. It is also the one to visit with the dog: Destination Kiama lists gelato for pets, and its Google listing says dogs are allowed at the outdoor tables. The shop is near the Manning Street end of Terralong Street, so Blowhole Point and the harbour are a short stroll downhill. ### The Original Ice Creamery Kiama Shop 9, 106 Terralong St, Kiama Ice cream, gelato, sorbets, sundaes, shakes and confectionery, with gelato for dogs.

Destination Kiama lists 50 flavours of ice cream, sorbet and real Italian gelato, old-school banana splits and sundaes, and extra-thick shakes, iced coffees and iced chocolates. It also suits a mixed group. Some can order hot waffles, pancakes or a warm chocolate brownie with a scoop on the side, while others have Vietnamese street food such as banh mi and rice paper rolls. It stays open into the evening, so it works for dessert after dinner in town. ### Cafe Kiama Scoops Ice Creamery 60 Terralong St, Kiama Ice cream, sorbet and Italian gelato, sundaes, banana splits and thickshakes, plus coffee and Vietnamese food.

It makes cheese, yoghurt and artisan gelato from the milk of its pasture-raised cows. The Pines Gelato Bar on Collins Street is where to try that gelato in town, and the business describes it as the only locally made gelato in Kiama. Collins Street runs off Terralong Street past a row of heritage weatherboard terraces, so it is an easy detour on the way to the harbour. The bar keeps shorter hours than the Terralong Street shops and is closed on Monday and Tuesday, so plan for Wednesday afternoon or Thursday to Sunday. ### The Pines Gelato Bar 26 Collins St, Kiama Gelato made by The Pines, a Kiama dairy farm, plus coffee, to take away. Its Google listing shows 2pm to 5pm Wednesday, 10am to 5pm Thursday to Saturday and 11am to 4pm Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday. Phone 0400 602 966.

Destination Kiama lists gelato made from local milk among the stalls, alongside fruit and vegetables, cheese, sourdough and street food, and says The Pines sells its products at the market every week. The market is a 23-minute walk from the apartments. More detail is in our [Kiama markets guide](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/eat-and-drink/kiama-markets/). ### Kiama Farmers' Market Manning St, Kiama A weekly produce market every Wednesday from 3pm (2pm outside daylight saving), with gelato made from local milk on Destination Kiama's list of stalls.

Missi Moo Moo is a boutique ice cream and sweet treat shop on Fern Street, the main street. It describes its scoops as handcrafted, with locally made flavours. Pair it with a swim at Werri Beach or a coffee in town. See our [Gerringong guide](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/towns/gerringong/) and [Gerringong cafes and restaurants](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/eat-and-drink/gerringong-cafes-and-restaurants/). ### Missi Moo Moo 104 Fern St, Gerringong Handcrafted ice cream and desserts in locally made flavours.

The Dairy Bar sits in the historic Central Creamery precinct beside The Treat Factory, and its own website says its gelato is handcrafted and made on site. It also serves Devonshire teas, coffee and cafe meals, so it makes a good morning tea stop. Plan the rest of the day with our [Berry day trip guide](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/towns/berry-day-trip/). ### The Dairy Bar 5 Old Creamery Lane, Berry Handcrafted gelato made on site, Devonshire tea, coffee and cafe food, next to The Treat Factory.

Kiama Council lists a playground, barbecues, undercover picnic tables, toilets and a rock pool on the reserve, and the lawns under the Norfolk Island pines look over the sea. From the apartments it is about a 35-minute walk (2.9 km). - Black Beach: the small beach between the harbour and the town centre. Destination Kiama describes a large grassy reserve, a picnic area, public toilets and a granite ping-pong table, with [ocean pools](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/beaches/kiama-rock-pools/) on either side. It is about a 30-minute walk (2.5 km) from the apartments. - The harbour: watch the fishing boats in Robertson Basin from the grass. Read more in our [Kiama Harbour guide](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/landmarks-and-walks/kiama-harbour/). ## Plan an ice cream stop with kids Photo: AlphaLemur, [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ice_cream_in_cones.jpg) A few things make an ice cream run with children easier: - Plan for summer crowds. Searches for Kiama ice cream peak in the December and January school holidays, so allow time for a queue on warm evenings. - Ask for a cup. Cups suit little hands and windy days on the headland better than cones. - Pick a shop with seats. Cafe Kiama and Scoops has seating inside and out, so it works when the weather turns. - Finish at the playground. Blowhole Point Reserve has a playground and toilets, a short walk from the shops. - Check the day. The Pines Gelato Bar and Missi Moo Moo are closed on Mondays, so choose a Terralong Street shop early in the week. If you are heading to [Jamberoo Action Park](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/things-to-do/jamberoo-action-park/), it has its own ice cream outlet, Bombora Scoop, inside the park. For more ideas, see [things to do in Kiama with kids](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/things-to-do/things-to-do-in-kiama-with-kids/). ## Stay a short drive from the Terralong Street shops Photo: Steven Foster (via Unsplash), [CC0](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kiama,_Australia_(Unsplash).jpg) The town centre ice cream shops are about 3 minutes by car from Kiama Ridge Waters, and [Easts Beach](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/beaches/easts-beach-kiama/) is a 15-minute walk the other way. Each of our three-bedroom apartments at 2 [Surfleet Place](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/explore-kiama/live-and-own/kiama-ridge-waters-location/) sleeps six, with a full kitchen and garage parking for two cars, and groups can book several on the same site. See [family accommodation in Kiama](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/stay/families/). Most of our apartments take pets on request, with a $200 cleaning fee, so the dog can share the gelato too. See [pet-friendly stays](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/stay/pet-friendly/), browse the [apartments](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/apartments/) or [check availability](https://ridgewaterskiama.com.au/book/).
