OTTIMO - Gelato & Coffee

Ottimo sits on Marine Parade at Coolangatta, at the southern tip of the Gold Coast right by the beachfront. A gelato-and-coffee spot in a prime seaside location, it's perfectly placed for a treat — quality gelato and a good coffee with the sand and surf right there, capturing the relaxed Coolangatta mood.

The appeal is that combination of well-made gelato, good coffee and an unbeatable beachfront setting, ideal for a treat after a swim, a stroll along the foreshore or a warm coastal afternoon. In a beach town that runs on sunshine, a quality gelato spot earning this kind of reputation really stands out.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 400 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark with locals and visitors alike. Flavours, opening hours and offerings change, and a popular beachside spot gets busy on warm days and weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a casual scoop or a coffee, you can usually just wander up and pick from the day's selection while enjoying the Coolangatta beachfront.
