Frequently asked questions

It’s not uncommon for people to use ice cream and gelato interchangeably, however they are quite different. Gelato, the Italian word for ice cream, is made with more milk than cream and therefore has a lower fat percentage. It also is made differently, less air is churned into gelato giving it a richer flavour. 

The age old battle of frozen yoghurt versus gelato rages on. If you’re a fan of frozen yoghurt, there’s a high chance you’ll thoroughly enjoy our gelato flavours. We’d recommend opting for flavours with a more tart taste like our popular Yoghurt & Strawberry. 

We have a wide range of gelato and sorbet flavours available, including classic flavours like Vanilla Bean and Augustus specialities like Cookies and Cream. For our full range of flavours and specials, check out our menu here.

We try and rotate our specials on a monthly basis. Our new creations are made with our customer’s requests in mind and flavours that we know everyone will love. You better get in quick though! They run out fast 🏃‍♂️💨  New specials are announced on our social media platforms.

Our cakes are available to pick up in store without pre-ordering, or you can give your local Augustus a call and they will put one aside for you.

Everyone should be able to enjoy gelato so we offer a range of delicious plant based flavours. To find our plant based options, you can filter the menu or ask us when you’re ordering a scoop. 

Our gelato is made with a bovine gelatine which is Halal, so all of our products are halal-friendly. Our friendly staff are happy to answer any questions you may have in store.

We want everyone to be able to enjoy our gelato and sorbet flavours. Our allergen guide will provide you with a comprehensive list of which flavours include potential allergens.

We do consider our gelato safe for pregnant people. All of our gelato is made with milk that is pasteurised twice. Our products that are made with egg have it cooked into the product – however we would suggest avoiding the Bombe Alaska if you are concerned about raw egg.

Whilst we understand that knowledge of the KJ value of foods is important to many people looking to monitor and/or balance their energy intake, it is not possible for us to list the KJ content of the products as they are served within our stores.

Accurate and meaningful KJ data requires precise measurement of KJ content of each flavour per scoop in combination with any cone or serving accompaniment – as our products are sold in varying scoop numbers, in different flavour combinations and served within cones or cups, our products are not considered standardised in terms of size or content and we therefore are unable to provide meaningful KJ data within our stores.

All of our store hours are listed on our locations page.
