I have tried all the icecream shops in town and this one is head and shoulders above the rest. SO WHY IS IT ONLY OPEN ON WEEKENDS. The flavours are strong and enduring, portion size is generous, the selection size is not large, but they have proven that what they do have will draw in the crowds. Just see the queue to understand how good it is. People are prepared to wait 15mins to be served rather than going elsewhere and being served immediately.

Anyone who holidays or lives in the gorgeous town of Port Fairy knows this ice cream joint. They are incredibly famous for their hand crafted and wildly delicious recipes that are like none other! With new flavours daily, made by the locals themselves only a few hours before it being served, it is an experience truly like none other. The people are lovely and it is the most wonderful environment!

Absolutely delicious ice cream in Port Fairy, Victoria! They had great dairy free options including blueberry and dark orange chocolate. I had the vanilla and my partner chose the dark orange chocolate and both were beautiful. You can really taste that it is homemade and the texture was just lovely. The staff were very friendly and welcoming as well. A solid 5 star experience!

Poco is well worth the trip to Port Fairy. It doesn’t open for long but time your trip and you’ll be rewarded. Ice cream made on-site and you can tell they love what they do as it’s the best gelato I’ve had for a long time. Do the simple things amazing and that’s what they do!

Insanely delicious ice cream at great prices. Poco need to franchise and expand their artisan methods to bring their ice cream to the rest of Australia. You will probably need to queue. You should try more than one flavour. You will likely go back for more.

Super popular ice cream spot in town - expect a queue any time of the day. Queue moves very quickly. Great selection of flavours, some standard ones and some quirky ones too. Delicious ice cream! Friendly service and highly recommended!
