    After dinner, we headed back to New Regent Street to grab dessert at Rollickin Dessert Cafe. It's got a cafe vibe and layout to it but everyone comes here for their gelato. We dropped in on a Monday evening (around 7:15pm). There's a spacious upstairs area to lounge about along with the main floor and outdoor seats. Chill place to study (that cafe vibe I mentioned earlier). There were 11 flavours to choose from with three options: one scoop ($5.00 NZD), two scoops ($8.50 NZD) and three scoops ($10.50 NZD). Pricier than most places. FYI: the waffle cones aren't homemade. If you aren't feeling gelato, they have a small selection of pastries and drinks. - Two scoops ($8.50 NZD) - we went with pomegranate and berries for the top flavour, the girl next door (yogurt whipped with pomegranate gelato, sweet lemon and passionfruit curd) for the bottom. Don't see much pomegranate often but it was a winner. Sweet and bursting with fruity flavour. I wasn't a big fan of the girl next door but B liked it. Solid spot to grab gelato. Bonus, it's open everyday and late for after dinner dessert.

    Delicious beyond belief. The quality of the cream is the best I have ever had. Smooth, silky, sweet, fresh cream. Vanilla beans. It was almost a divine experience. There is always a line going all the way outside to get their orders in. I wonder why. I would give this ice cream store ten stars if it is possible. What a cute little store with outdoor sitting, in addition to comfortable chairs inside the store. Interesting gorilla sitting outside on the bench and the hand-written menu items on the board. I could eat this everyday.

    OH EM GEE. Do not be deterred by the line outside. It does move quickly and you will be rewarded with very tasty, creamy gelato. I am blown away and will continue to dream about the Breakfast of Chamipns - yogurt flavored gelato with blueberry and crumb topping. The yogurt gelato is outstanding. I came back two nights in a row and could've just had the breakfast of champs, but we also got a scoop of the lemon, lime and bitters and the salted caramel. The salted caramel is probably my least favorite of the three as it lacked depth of flavor. The caramel could've been caramelized longer. However I did love the mouthfeel of all - The gelato has just the right density and has a creamy mouth feel without feeling rich in a fatty way. Seriously, that gelato is so effing good. I contemplated getting a scoop to put in my hotel freezer and having it the next morning. I mean it is called breakfast of champions and it's yogurt-based right? Service is friendly and there is ample sitting outside to enjoy the Christchurch weather and ambiance. Blankets are provided at the door if it gets chilly. One scoop starts at five dollars, two for eight and three for $10.50.

    Scooping.

    This dessert restaurant has a nice atmosphere, in one of the remaining older neighborhoods in Christchurch. Popular, the line moved quickly. I had a mint chocolate chip cone, which was excellent with really good mint flavor. My wife was a bit disappointed with her Hokey Pokey as it didn't have much of the honeycomb crunch, making it basically a vanilla cone. We'd probably pay more attention to the scooping if we came back. There is more seating upstairs on the first floor.

    Did not get a lot of gelato for the price, flavour was good though, presumably the rents are high in this area.
