Free cups at LUMA Gelato from 1pm
LUMA Gelato is handing out complimentary cups from 1pm on opening day, according to The Urban List. Giveaways are announced on its Instagram, with weekly drop dates, and more are planned across the first four weeks.
Build your own, with 12 flavours to pick from
The Newstead shop serves 12 gelato flavours made fresh daily in-house. They include fior di latte, Italian pistachio, salted caramel, Biscoff cheesecake and mango sorbet, plus rotating specials and limited-edition collaborations.
Customers choose their own gelato and toppings, from roasted nuts, mini wafer cones, fresh fruit and Italian jams to a finish of Nutella, white chocolate or Kinder Bueno. Opening hours for Newstead were not listed, so check LUMA’s Instagram before you go.

From the Sunshine Coast to Skyring Terrace
The original LUMA Gelato shop is at 23/13 Mooloolaba Esplanade, which owner Andreea Corban told Sunshine Coast News opened in early December. It is billed as Australia’s first self-serve gelato concept, and Corban said it has more than 300 five-star Google reviews. The Mooloolaba menu also lists dairy-free options in chocolate, mango and mixed berries.
Corban said LUMA was never meant to be a one-store idea and that there is more to come.
