Absolutely Delicious. Coeliac Heaven. Staff were all so friendly and welcoming. And the Death by Chocolate Waffle was amazing. Highly recommend. The whole menu is gluten free.

Love this little tucked away gem! We booked a table so we didn't miss out during the busy school holiday time. The staff were all lovely! The food was delicious (mine was the brunch waffle - omg delish)!! Even the butterbeer latte was yummy!! There was about a 40 minute wait on food, but as I said before, they were getting smashed with school holiday customers. Will definitely be coming back here again. Thanks for the delicious lunch!!

Ice cream here taste illegal but police cannot catch it. I ask for one scoop, they give me ball of frozen happiness bigger than my head. I bite it, my dentist send me text ‘thank you for business.’ Staff look at me like I never see dairy before. Atmosphere colder than my ex but sweeter than her sister. Price so cheap I check if it counterfeit. Cone stronger than my family bond. Flavor slap me harder than my dad ever did. Honestly, this place need to be investigated for sorcery. 11/10, would let it ruin my diet again.

The ice cream was really good. The price per serving size is unbeatable. My boyfriend and I shared a double size and struggled to finish.

The best dessert spot in Launceston! The owner and employees are the most wonderful people. They encourage every customer to try all 13 flavours of their ice cream and each flavour is truly one of a kind. They’re homemade from quality Australian ingredients unlike any store bought ice cream. I loved their honey macadamia and apple guava. Also their choc mint hot choc was yum as well! My partner and I came here 3 days in the week that we stayed in Launceston. I’ll definitely be back to try more flavours if I have the chance. Their brunch waffle was also delicious. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
