C9 Chocolate & Gelato Shellharbour

C9 Chocolate & Gelato is a dessert bar in the Stockland Shellharbour precinct, trading in handmade Belgian chocolate, gelato and croffles. It opens late into the evening, which makes it a handy after-dinner stop, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, where the shop even makes its own Pup Pops for them.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor, unenclosed seating area, in line with NSW food rules. Ask for a Pup Pop, a dog-safe frozen treat the shop makes in-house. Bring your own water bowl in case one is not on hand, and keep your dog leashed on the busy shopping precinct pavement.

Good to know. The gelato is the drawcard, with rich Belgian chocolate flavours, gelato cakes and signature croffles. It is open daily until late evening, so an after-dark walk with a treat at the end works well here.

Getting there. The shop sits inside the Stockland Shellharbour complex, so on-site parking is easy and plentiful, with accessible bays near the entrance.

Nearby with the dogs. Shellharbour Village and its coastal walkways are a short drive away if you want a proper stroll to go with the gelato.
