Been here a few times the last few years & they’ve been consistently good. Good customer service, a taste test when you’re not sure what the flavour is (rainbow is & should be bubblegum btw, other review was wrong about that lol). Great pricing imo & some indoor and outdoor seating too!

Overwhelming amount of Flavours, but all definitely on the more sugary side. The ice cream was quite nice and I believe to be reasonably priced in comparison to other ice cream / gelato establishments. The portion sizing is on the smaller side and they have a limit on how many you can try. I believe this was only 1 flavour, which really needs to be looked at as buying a double scoop of something is quite popular. The layout and the lighting draws in from the streets. A wonderful late night treat.

I love how you can find some very fun & creative flavours to choose from! I especially love that vegans are just as well catered too. The vegan peanut butter chocolate flavour was fantastic! So were the Ferrero Rocher & Biscoff! All in all, a fantastic treat to share on holidays after a long day at the beach!

I came in Sunday afternoon st 1.10pm and there was 1 girl working alone. The shop was super busy, but the girl serving was A-mazing. She was calm, worked quickly, was very polite and even apologised for the wait. She should be congratulated on a job well done. Thank you
