Sydney’s west is serving some seriously cool treats, and Penrith now has its own sweet gem 🍦😋! If you’re craving the ultimate gelato experience, Gelato Messina Penrith is a must-do. What makes this spot extra Insta-worthy? Their bright orange and yellow MESSINA box stands out against the modern glass-walled exhibition hall vibe — super photogenic for those travel snaps!

Must-Try Spot:
Gelato Messina Penrith – Shop 60a/585 High St, Penrith NSW 2750. Open from late morning till late night (usually 12pm to 10pm, but check trip.com for the daily schedule). The menu features original Messina classics plus seasonal flavors, and here’s my tip: try their specials, like the weekly rotating “creations,” and don’t miss pandan coconut or the famous salted caramel & white chocolate! Messina always nails creamy texture and punchy flavors, plus the takeaway boxes keep it cold (I took home the orange/yellow box, which is a total statement piece).

Getting There:
Penrith Station is a 10-min walk away, so hopping on the train from Sydney CBD is fuss-free. If you’re driving, there’s heaps of parking at Westfield or along High Street.

Extra Tips:
Buy more than you think — these flavors disappear fast, especially on weekends! Take pics inside; the architecture is sleek and contemporary. Bring cash or card (both accepted); and if you’re doing a food crawl in Penrith, add Messina to your dessert finale. Weather-wise, gelato is a win year-round, but the outdoor seats are best enjoyed in late afternoon sun.
