For the former, choose from familiar flavours such as Cookies & Cream, French Vanilla, and Minty Chocolate. If you’re feeling fancy, their Turkish Hazelnut ($4.70) and Ferrero Roche ($5.50) will hit the spot.

The gelato is freshly made on-site daily, so each mouthful is smooth and creamy. Should you wish to have yours in a cone, it’s $0.80 for a plain Waffle Cone, or you can get the Charcoal Cone ($1) for the ‘gram. There’s also a Nutty Cone ($1.50) available if you wish to zhng up your dessert.
