    Classic bun
    Rosalyn L.

    Saw this had opened up where Famoso used to be and decided to come try it for dessert! We ended up splitting the classic bun, which came with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. It came fresh and I liked the contrast between the warm bun and the cold ice cream. It's $12+ for a bun depending on what flavour you pick, which I found a bit high. I was also hoping to see some more Asian inspired flavours since the base is a deep fried bao. The employees were very friendly and let us know which flavours were the most popular. The space seemed a bit empty, although I loved what they did with the pizza stove. Will definitely be back if any new flavours pique my interest!

    It's pretty much a donut with ice cream on top. The bun is kinda of more like bread. Real good ice cream, and it's a decent size. 16 without tax for one, it is pretty expensive, but it is still real tasty. Dude at the till was nice took 3$ off each $25.10 total with tax.

    I finally managed to stop by to try the Strawberry Nutella bun and it did not disappoint. The deep fried milk bun was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The warmed bun paired perfectly with the Nutella spread, scoop of cold vanilla ice cream and strawberry slices. The different textures and flavours mixed together nicely. The portion size was good for sharing. Service was friendly and efficient. The store was bright with ample seating. Price was around $15 which was okay to try once in a while.

    This is our 2nd year of getting these @ Richmond Night Market. So warm & delicious! I miss the Pistachio flavor they had last year but Ube flavor was really great too! The workers are greats & always singing & having a great time!!

    The warm buttery bun will just melt in your mouth. I love how it's paired with fresh mango and a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Tried this at the Dumpling festival. I would love to try the other items at the restaurant!

    Ok I know y'all love the Richmond Night Market and there is tons of awesome dessert places, but this place must go on your list. I loved their stuff soo much that I added this business to Yelp! The basic idea is ice cream on top of a fried mantou bun. This bun is crispy - even after sitting with ice cream for 10-15 minutes. The combination of ice cream, drizzled condensed milk, and fresh mango slices (for the Mango Paradise) js literally heaven on earth. Add to that ability to order online and the people being very friendly, and making fun of their name - it's no wonder this place has a healthy business there!

Gelato: Overall average except Tiramisu one I tried tiramisu and Nutella, and both were decent. I also tasted Ferrero Rocher, which wasn't great, and crème brûlée, which was too sweet for my liking. The orange blossom with cardamom tasted a bit like eating a jasmine flower--very floral, not really my thing. I've definitely had much better gelato elsewhere. That said, I would still give the tiramisu a special mention--it was really good and probably the highlight. Overall, it's a decent place to try once, especially because of its location near the beach and variety of flavors.

    Oh my gosh. I've never had gelato like this before. The rich, deep-flavoured authenticity of…read moreEuropean Gelato places, couples with fun Eest Coast twists on flavours. The Orange Blossom Cardemon Pistachio is out if this world. Layer after later I'd unique flavour. The vanilla...how do u say this? This vanilla is to most other vanilla as Pearl Jam is to Nickelback. You can't fake the kind of work and care this woman outs into making gelato, and her training by an Italian Gelato maker is like an unforgettable icing on that cake. And speaking of cakes, if you see the woman who runs the place baking one...it's COS SHE PUTS A WHOLE CAKE IN THE BIRTHDAY CAKE GELATO. Take a stroll one block off the main Crescent Beach Strip, skip the lines at the other places (until this one's discovered by the masses), and go here.

    It can be a real challenge to be someone who is dairy free but lovesssss ice cream cake. Rocky…read morePoint Ice Cream takes that challenge completely away. I was able to order a custom dairy free, and gluten sensitive cake for a birthday in no time. With a week's notice and a short form filled out, I was given the most perfect cake for my event. One of the things I love most about Rocky Point Ice cream is that the plant based flavours are almost undetectable from regular dairy flavours. They are delicious, creamy and packed with flavour. I make a point of buying pints from this location now rather than getting non-dairy ice creams from the grocery stores because I love the quality and service I get each time I visit. This place is great to hit up if you want to go for a walk in the park and then head for a sweet treat afterwards in their cute little shop. I highly recommend!

It's always flooded with people especially on weekends but the service is pretty fast as there is ample staff to address your order while you are tasting many other flavours. The ambience is okay. Pricing and quantity and quality is nice and I guess that's why it's popular. I loved the blueberry cream cheese flavour a lot. I also tried plant based coconut which is also gluten free. It's okay in taste. Their cookie and cream is also good. We were in hurry so could not taste other flavours. Staff is very friendly. It's definitely a must try place to visit if you are in the area.
