Jigsaw AKA Goodberries Belconnen CLOSED DOWN

Or you can move to
North Carolina

is it true that the belconnen jigsaw has changed hands and will become a rubees store?

I can assure you, as one of the owners of the Woden store, that we’re not selling ice cream. Last time I checked, Belconnen were using the exact same mix that we are, and it is very much frozen custard. I’d be happy to sit a tub of ice cream next to a tub of our frozen custard any day so that you may see how much better frozen custard (sold at Jigsaw, and yes, at Rubees too) tastes.

There is a small difference in the way that Rubees and Jigsaw prepares their concretes. Rubees mix theirs more after adding flavours, which creates a ‘slushier’ concrete – not necessarily a bad thing, depending on your taste. Jigsaw concretes are more like the old style Goodberry’s in that they are thicker in texture.

I saw the guys at Rubees Dickson that is

Cameron I have been to Belco Jigsaw and Dickson Rubees and they are nothing alike. Jigsaw seems to be selling Ice cream while Rubees seems to have old school frozen Custard, the only similarity I see is that everyone is still selling concretes. And I saw the Goodberry’s guys off the ads there behind the counter so I’m guessing that it’s the closest thing to Goodberry’s I’m gettin.

update: I went to goodberries Dickson on friday night, as I was in the area.

verdict: Tastes just like home-made icecream mix (I had the vanilla base)

Triple bottom line: I would take other peoples children there for a sugar hit in preperation for giving them back.

its as if its bizarreness is its attraction.

bonfire, they should put you in the television commercial advertising goodberries.

I’m going to pop in (I’m a goodberries virgin) based completely off your summarisation there.

My image is of course of norman gump walking into a 50’s style diner, and melodromatically ticking off a bizarre checklist of requirements in order to meet his equally bizarre sense of tastes, but that’s what I want to go check out.

After getting out of work late last night i stopped by goodberries on my way home.

Although it had been closed for urgent maintenance, i couldnt see any change inside.

Pink cushions – check.
Screaming TV’s – check.
Identical interior – check.

i asked for a concrete and sat down. i noticed lots of girls wearing hijabs. i guess that after fasting all day, a hit of frozen custard does the trick. ramadan during daylight savings must suck.

no newspapers! that must be the radical change.

My concrete arrived and i slurped away. service was at normnal speed, no slower than usual. i dont believe frozen custard should be rushed. i think its part of the slow food movement.

the flunky making mine must have had an accident as there would have been 20 complete glace cherries in it! there were adequate pineapple and lychee flavourings.

The kids at the table next to me were getting into their nachos. They look tasty, and use the round corn chips. i didnt try them though.

Next time i think.

Peterb – any chance of making the chili dogs have some bite to them again?
