SubZero Gelato(Busselton)

SubZero Gelato is the artisan gelato maker inside Origins Market at 86 West Street, Busselton, where Dutch-trained maker Janneke spins the batch fresh daily. The market's alfresco areas welcome dogs, so a scoop here slots neatly into a warm afternoon loop of the market with the dog on the lead.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating and alfresco common areas around the market, but the enclosed indoor market hall is restricted to registered assistance dogs. The practical play: one person holds the dog outside while the other hits the SubZero counter, then you claim an outdoor table. Keep your dog on the lead and bring your own water bowl to be sure, since bowls are not guaranteed across the market's shared seating.

Pepsi: grab a shaded table, the deck bakes in the afternoon sun and hot timber is no fun on the paws.

Worth knowing

The gelato has taken Champion Gelato at the Perth Royal Food Awards in both 2021 and 2024, plus Champion Gelato at the 2024 DIAA WA Awards, and the cabinet covers rich classic flavours alongside unusual ones like yuzu and pandan, with sorbets and gluten-free cones in the mix. Trading runs with the market: Thursday 10am to 8pm, Friday and Saturday 10am to 9pm, Sunday 10am to 5:30pm, closed Monday to Wednesday. Check the market's updates before a special trip, as seasonal trading shifts.

Getting there and parking

Origins Market sits at 86 West Street in Busselton with free parking on site. The Busselton jetty foreshore is a short drive away, with grassed areas and paths that suit a leashed stroll before the gelato or after it.

Close by with the dogs

Poppy & Pip Cafe covers the morning coffee run in town, and for a proper meal with the dog, Burger Bones is the casual option or The Vasse Tavern handles the pub-meal end of the day.
