In any case, this one here offers a range of conventional and a few more creative gelato flavors, competitive prices, and sorbets for those who can't or won't do gelato. I ordered my go-to mint chip, supplementing it with a hazelnut flavor (this place seems to be big on nuts). The mint was the perfect combination of sweet and minty. The hazelnut one was respectable, though not enough to dissuade me from wanting more mint. I would add that the cone was tasty too-not some cardboard kind of thing-and it did not cost extra (which some gelato places do). What I've found on repeat visits is that their flavor selection is rather limited and very focused on the nut flavors, which are good but are not always what I want. It's got a pretty nice Teneriffe location near some respectable restaurants, many of which offer their own perfectly good looking desserts. I'd call that a first world problem.

I was on a post-gym, pre-groceries hunger busting mission and frozen yoghurt took out the grand prize. YoFlo has newly opened in Gasworks in the space where Gurts used to be. They hail from Byron Bay and focus on the healthier side of yoghurt with additional breakfast options like paleo Bircher bowls. Those in the froyo know will take to the set up like ducks to water. 1. Pick up your cup. It's a one-size fits all affair. 2. Fill cup with your selected yoghurt. There were 5 or 6 flavours when I visited and range from fat free, dairy free and all are gluten free. Flavours included coconut, strawberry, mango, choc-hazelnut and plain. I made a healthy yogurt version of the Aussie neopolitan Classic with the strawberry, coconut and choc-hazelnut. While you'd easily stop me and say, "But isn't it just another frozen yoghurt place?" and I'd be inclined to agree, I also feel it's important to point out these guys yoghurt did taste far less sugary sweet than others I've had. 3. Select your toppings! YoFlo's toppings do stand to be healthier than most. Fruit, seed and nut mixes take precedence over the very limited sugary toppings like brownie squares and M&Ms. 4. Weigh and pay. It's $2.90/100g.

So as it was, I found myself in between meetings a few Friday afternoons ago and when faced with the decision to sit in one of the new casual bars along Oxford Street or try Nom Nom, I opted for the lure of freshly made on-site gelato. A regular cup with two flavours of salted caramel and coffee to be precise. There's not many aires and graces in store but who needs fanciful distractions when the product is this good. The gelato is made on-site daily and is the result of the owner's study of gelato making in Italy and desire to bring what he'd learnt back home. The fruits of his labour show in a well-edited range of flavours from classic vanilla bean to more trend-driven combinations. Either way, given the high quality ingredients you don't need much to enjoy this gelato. Take a small cup, fill with your favourite flavour and wander down to perch yourself in the park. It's the perfect antidote to a busy day and certainly brings you back down to earth!

With 8 flavours and counting, you can choose your authentic korean bingsu flavours like injeolmi (soybean), misugaru (mixed grain), matcha and black sesame or your western flare of Nutella brownie, Oreo & chocolate. Each bingsu is crafted behind the scenes and looks magnificent when it is carried out! The portions are very generous and to devour a bingsu bowl, you need at least 2 to 3 people. Also, I love how the owners have great attention to detail. They freeze the bowls before piling the shaved ice and toppings on it. The shaved ice remains cold and powdery during the consumption duration and not a melted mess like other bingsu shops. The average price of the bingsu ranges from 14 to 15.5 AUD. My favourites are ranked from top to bottom: 1) misugaru with red bean, almond flakes and mochi 2) black sesame with red bean, mochi and a blanket of grinded black sesame powder on top of the shaved ice 3) matcha: scoop of tangy matcha froyo, red bean and a generous blanket of matcha powder on top of the fluffy shaved ice A side of milk is served to drizzle into the bingsu. Don't forget to eat your toppings or create a well in the bingsu because the milk will not absorb into the bingsu! Seating is limited! So for large groups, prefer to wait or walk a couple of circles to active your tummy for some delicious bingsu

NEWS FLASH: BRISBANE IN FROYO EXPLOSION…read more It seems January 2013 marks the month Brisbane opened its arms and embraced the FroYo trend that's been so prolific abroad. Similarly, it seems just as some of my fiercely dedicated froyo friends have overdosed to a point of no return, I'm launching into an all-consuming rose-coloured-glasses love for FroYo. Yep, I'm *that* late to the band wagon. Nominom (pink branding) is the second froyo chain to swing their doors open and share their self-serve frozen yoghurt goodness with Brisbane punters. Unlike it's friend up the road, Noggi (green branding), Nominom is DIY service. It was a rather non-conventional late lunch but who was I to argue with their twee bubblegum pink branding? Your path to FroYo enlightenment at Nominom is the standard self-service routine: + Pick your cup (one size - large), fill it with as many flavoured frozen yoghurts that you think you can handle (they'll be rotating their flavours and when I stopped by there was original, chocolate, blueberry, taro, green tea and a few others) + Shuffle along to the toppings station. They've set their toppings out into good (fruit), treats (candy, jelly bubbles and biscuits) and cereals. + Your final destination: weigh-in and cash register. The moment of truth to see just how well you've decked out your FroYo cup. I had put chocolate and green tea with watermelon and blueberries and it came to $6.38 for what I'd guess was about 300grams. They're running a 50% offer for the opening week so for $3.15 I was ready to take my cup of froyo home. The flavours of the yoghurt didn't pack as much punch as I'd want. The yoghurt could have been a little more tart and the flavours more pronounced. This is 100% personal preference, but I like the idea of being able to select the size of cup I'd like rather than a one size fits all and maybe this is something they'll introduce as they find their groove. It's great to see Brisbane embracing a new "food trend" and I hope people love it for a long time, not just a good time.

Max Brenner Hamilton is always very busy but you get served very quickly. Your chocolatey delights come out within 10-15 minutes which I was surprised at because of how busy the place is. I am loving the ice cream sundaes they have through summer. A great place for dessert if you are a local or even an out of towner. Good quality chocolatey goodness! The only negatives I can think of is that it is a ittle pricey ($38.50 for two sundaes and 2 hot chocolates) but for ggod quality, it is worth it. Also, the tables could be cleared a little quicker but still a great place to go.

With the humid days hanging around Brisbane, I've been fast coming to enjoy a combination of salted caramel, coconut and red velvet topped with strawberries and shredded coconut.
