Churned fresh on-site daily with Italian ingredients, this Broadbeach staple is built for post-surf strolls. Regulars point newcomers straight to the Ferrero Rocher or the Snickers scoop—packed with thick chewy caramel and crisp chocolate shards. The counter staff gladly offer tasters before you commit, and you can split two flavours even onto a single serving. Grab a cup and head out to the sunny footpath tables on Surf Parade.
