Why it's worth checking out
Popolo Gelateria sits on King Street in the heart of Newcastle. With 652 reviews behind its 4.5 rating, it's a genuine local favourite.
The appeal is quality gelato with a devoted following — a lovely spot for an indulgent scoop, a cool treat and a sweet pause, the kind of place that keeps Novocastrians coming back. Its central King Street location, close to the city's shops and dining, makes it easy to fold a visit into a wider day or night out.
Menus, flavours and trading hours change over time, and it gets busy on evenings and warm days. If you're after something particular or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly before you head over.
