C9 Chocolate and Gelato Wollongong

C9 Chocolate and Gelato is a dessert bar at 2/222 Keira Street in the Wollongong CBD, doing house-made gelato, waffles and chocolate. The standout for dog owners is its Pup Pops, a dog gelato made for visiting dogs, served at the footpath tables out front.

The dog setup. Dogs join you at the outdoor footpath seating, not inside (indoors is generally service dogs only). The big draw is the Pup Pops dog gelato, so your dog can have a treat alongside yours. Outdoor space is limited and gets busy on weekend nights, so come early for a table.

Good to know. The menu is built around fresh house-made gelato, decadent waffles and crepes, chocolate fondues, plus coffee and hot chocolate. It is a dessert stop rather than a meal spot.

Getting there. C9 is on Keira Street, a main dining hub. Street parking runs along Keira and the side streets (check meter times), and the Wollongong Central car parks are a few minutes' walk away.

Nearby with the dogs. The Keira and Crown Street strips have plenty of dog-friendly footpath seating for cafe-hopping, and the foreshore paths are a short walk towards the water. Coniston Dog Beach, the nearest off-leash sand, is a short drive south.
