About Fresko Gelato & Waffle House

Marrickville locals head to Fresko for on-site churned gelato, made-to-order hot loukoumades, and freshly pressed waffles. Counter scoops lean inventive—think baklava, watermelon and feta, or a dairy-free coconut charcoal—paired alongside light, fluffy waffle plates piled with fresh fruit. In the evenings, batches of honey-drenched loukoumades leave the fryer with a crisp crunch and pillowy bounce.

  • On-Site Production: Gelato is churned in-house alongside freshly pressed waffles cooked to order rather than reheated.
  • Greek Specialty Flavours: Traditional Greek dessert heritage shapes the menu with fresh loukoumades, baklava gelato, and watermelon-feta scoops.
  • Dietary-Friendly Variety: Offers certified halal selections and dairy-free, gelatin-free vegan scoops like black carbon.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big are the waffle portions and can you customise them?

Waffles are generously sized, thick, and freshly pressed, making them substantial enough to share between two people. You can top them with your choice of gelato flavour, such as smashed pavlova, chocolate, or Nutella.

What kind of Greek specialty desserts are available?

Yes. Fresko features distinct Greek-inspired creations including baklava gelato, watermelon and feta ice cream, and freshly made hot loukoumades (Greek honey balls) served crunchy and sweet.

Are there vegan or dairy-free dessert options?

Fresko offers multiple vegan and dairy-free options made without gelatine, including their popular black carbon / coconut charcoal flavour, alongside fruit sorbets.

Is there enough seating to dine in with a group?

Seating is limited, with around 10 to 15 indoor seats and small outdoor tables. Large groups may find it tight to sit together, especially during peak evening hours after dinner.

What are the parking options around the shop?

Street parking can be scarce right in front of the shop on Victoria Road, so you may need to park a short walk away. Free street parking and a free parking lot are available in the surrounding area.
