Kind words from ice cream lovers

  • Damn can you make gelato, everyone was raving about it. And a few friends who didn't get to you on the night (busy dancing) were really regretting it. Luckily we were at room for a pony having dinner last night and we saw they had your gelato so they still go to try it. The choc mint honeycomb was divine.

    Abbey Fancourt

  • I'm so happy with my order. I got two tubs of Dairy Free, Vegan Gelato. The Chocolate Raspberrie is so addictive and the Lemon Curd is like taking a holiday in a bowl!

    Kimberley Mandonca

  • For Christmas I got a pair of binoculars so that I could spy when the pink cart was down at the beach.
