Handmade daily from Canterbury milk, cream, and seasonal fruits, this lively dessert parlour scoops a lineup of fifteen rotating gelato and sorbet options alongside baked treats. The menu pairs twelve house staples—including gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan sorbets—with three limited-edition weekly specials, backed up by freshly baked brownies, cakes, and an in-store chocolate tap. Visitors particularly single out the Hokey Tokey Pokey for its crunch of cookie pieces and honeycomb, with the dense brownies, berry sorbets, and matcha flavours earning steady praise alongside friendly counter service and an upbeat soundtrack.
Set amongst the heritage pastel facades of New Regent Street in Christchurch Central City, it trades seven days a week, opening from 10am on Saturdays and 11am every other day, with late scoop sessions running until 9pm Sunday through Thursday and 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Desserts can be ordered ahead online for next-day pick-up, eaten in the cafe, or taken out for an evening walk down the pedestrian mall. Our pick in the central city for a lively late-night sweet treat after dinner.
