Just Dessert Me is a dessert cafe at 113 Cambridge Road, Hillcrest, Hamilton. It holds a 4.8 Google rating from 479 reviews. The website describes hand-rolled ice cream made on a frozen plate in front of you, waffles and pancakes made to order, milkshakes, cookie pies and loaded cookies, with build-your-own options and a specials board in store. Customers most often mention the rolled ice cream and enjoy watching it being made, and one reviewer praised the generous portions.
Rolled ice cream is made by pouring a liquid base onto a very cold plate, mixing in toppings, then spreading it thin and scraping it into rolls, so a visit is part dessert and part show. It is best eaten soon after it is made, before it melts, and building your own lets you balance flavours, such as pairing a rich chocolate with a tart berry. Warm desserts, such as waffles or crumble, are good with a cold scoop for contrast. Sweet shops are busiest after dinner and on weekends, so a visit earlier in the evening may mean a shorter wait.
For Hillcrest and wider Hamilton locals, this Cambridge Road dessert cafe is a fun place to finish an evening with rolled ice cream, waffles or a milkshake.
