A high end ice cream shop that s located near the CBD with easy access from downtown. It s a luxurious experience from waiting in line to get in the store, to the full tasting experience, to the payment and collection at the end.

The line seems quite long but when I went late during the weekend, there were 20 people ahead of me but it only took 15-20 minutes to get through the line. They hand out chocolates and explain the tasting process as you wait.

Once they bring you inside the store, they do it by groups of ~6 people where they bring out a small cup of each flavor they offer and they give everyone around the table popsicle sticks to scoop out from the cup. One stick per flavor, no reuse allowed to keep everything sanitary. No flavor remorse and you can even try a flavor twice to double check.

The offer the flavors in a variety of cones from octopus to selfie frames. I came after dinner and wanted a relatively small bit of ice cream so ordered the kissing lips which has the flavor loaded around a solid block of dark chocolate in the shape of a lip. Loved the dark chocolate outside and the filling inside. A little messy but nothing a couple napkins couldn t handle.
