Best of Canberra - Ice cream

13 January 2015 | Sophia Carlini

Ice cream is an all occasions food. Whether it’s a hot Summer’s day at the pool with your friends or you need comforting after you just broke up with your boyfriend (forget him, he was a loser anyway!). There just never seems to be a wrong time for ice cream.

As a kid, vanilla was my go to flavour. ALWAYS! But as I got older, I decided to be a little more adventurous and branch out to chocolate. And well now, now I appreciate all of the flavours; cotton candy, banana, coffee, caramel, choc chip, double choc, strawberry … the list goes on.

My favourite ice cream at this very moment is the new Kangaroo Island Honey and Pistachio Magnum. Oh Em Gee! It is amazing!

So tell me, where is and what is Canberra’s best ice cream?

Stripey Sundae at Gold Creek do some beautiful flavours…..never considered Rosemary as an Ice Cream flavor until I tried it…to die for!

Stripey Sundae stock Mr Frugii ice cream 😉

Does Goodberry’s count? Because not much beats Goodberry’s with cheesecake and Oreo. mmm

Goodberry’s? Really!

I think you need to read the other suggestions here and broaden your horizons. 😉

Hopefully, your taste buds will thank you for it. If not, then I’m afraid you can’t be helped.

Just because I enjoy something so ‘low brow’ as Goodberrys doesn’t mean my icecream horizons are narrow. I just enjoy the taste of chocolate goodberry’s custard with as much calories as I can shove into it.

Occasionally I prefer my icecream with a bit less hipster than is standard these days.

Sometimes you just need a cheap delicious sugary treat. And if Goodberry’s were so terrible I’m sure it wouldn’t exist anymore. Every time I go it’s packed though.

The best was Lic Gelato in Braddon, but when the chook shop opened, they didn’t last long in the other side. No idea whether they set up elsewhere.

Second to that, I’d say the one in Mitchell behind the carwash, can’t remember the name.

I went to Frugii last night to taste this salted butter caramel I keep hearing about. It was good, it tasted like toffee. But controversially I still prefer the coconut rough ice cream at Ethiopia Down Under.

John would probably have a crack at a Golden Rough ice cream if you asked him.

His gin & tonic sorbet is cracking.
