Remember the frozen yoghurt craze of a few years back? It’s made a stylish comeback—only this time, it’s grown up. Freo, the “Frozen Atelier” that first turned heads at Town Hall, has since expanded to Chatswood Chase and Darling Quarter, offering a world of flavours and textures that go far beyond the average froyo experience.

What sets Freo apart? It all starts with the mastermind behind the flavours: Federico Zanellato, the acclaimed chef who helms Lumi Dining and Lode Pies & Pastries. Surprised? Zanellato himself admits initial scepticism. “It wasn’t something that initially appealed to me,” he says, referring to the sometimes artificial world of frozen yoghurt. But after delving deeper, he saw the potential to create something truly special. The result is a commitment to quality that’s evident in every detail.

Freo’s frozen yoghurt and gelato are made fresh daily using premium, 100% natural ingredients. The base for the yoghurt starts with Australian natural pot-set yoghurt, ensuring a rich and creamy texture. Flavours like Japanese strawberry, hojicha (roasted green tea), and mango showcase a focus on fresh, natural notes. The gelato selection boasts equally enticing options, with black sesame, matcha, and vegan choices like dark chocolate offering something for every palate. Each flavour can be served as its own individual swirl or combined with another for a completely custom creation – because sometimes one flavour just isn’t enough.

But Freo isn’t just about the base. Here, the toppings take centre stage too. Fresh, seasonal fruits nestle beside house-baked crumbles and decadent treats from Zanellato’s own Lode bakery. Premium sauces like Callebaut chocolate and Italian nut creams elevate your creation further. The topping bar allows for endless customisation, letting you create a dessert masterpiece that reflects your individual taste.

Each store reflects Freo’s refined approach – sleek marble counters, soft lighting and a sense of calm indulgence. Whether you’re grabbing a quick treat at Town Hall, taking a break in Chatswood Chase, or catching up with friends at Darling Quarter, the experience is consistently elevated.

Freo isn’t just another froyo store. It’s a testament to what happens when culinary expertise meets a beloved frozen treat – and with three locations and a growing cult following, it’s clear that Sydney’s love for frozen yoghurt is well and truly back.
