Well, why would one go down to a beachside town and not go and buy and icecream? Actually, there…read moreare probably quite a few reasons, but then again I'm not one to let a bitterly cold day get in the way of trying a new store (though it wasn't actually all that cold when I came here - it was just not swimming weather - but then again that is entirely subjective). Well, this place was quite nice and it certainly had a decent selection to chose from, but unfortunately there was more chocolate/caramel flavours than the ones that I generally prefer (such as the fruity ones). They also had quite a large selection of toppings, including small, bite sized cholocate bars. I guess the only thing that I didn't like about this place was that the staff really didn't seem to want to be there.

My tour bus stopped in this town for lunch during a day-long trip along the Great Ocean Road. The…read moretour guide gave us an oral run down of the options for lunch, and she was super enthusiastic about Dooley's for dessert. And OMG, was she right on point. She mentioned that they had won awards for their ice cream, and I believe she said that included an award for best chocolate ice cream in the region or maybe even in the country. After grabbing pizza elsewhere, my niece and I walked over to Dooley's. The wall was full of awards for all kinds of flavors. They let you taste the ice creams, and even though the chocolate was supposed to be the best, I saw they had passionfruit ice cream -- one of my favorite flavors of all time, so I tasted that. It was AMAZING. So much so that I ordered the passiongruit instead of the choolcate. I could eat that every day. My niece had blackberry ice cream and really liked it too. There wasn't much of a line when we were there around lunch-time on a Monday. Service moved quickly and with a smile, even when some people wanted to taste multiple flavors. If Dooley's were in my home town, I'd probably be at least 10 pounds heavier.

After dinner, we walked over to Dooley's Premium Ice Cream. They've won many awards for their…read moreflavours, which they proudly display all over their shop. Apparently, the count is at 378 awards and 30 trophies. We dropped in on a Wednesday evening (around 8:15pm). The inside is small but there's four seats outside to sit at. There's about 40 flavours to choose from (sorbet and gelato). Some unique ones were Vegemite and champagne sorbet. Price is a bit on the steeper side. $5.00 for 1 scoop, $8.00 for 2 scoops and $11.00 AUD for 3 scoops. The tubs are more on par with other ice cream shops ($12.00 AUD for 500ml and $22.00 AUD for 1L). Service is friendly and patient. They let us sample quite a few flavours; love how you can sample two at a time. - 500ml tub ($12.00 AUD) - their tubs are small pints of ice cream so when you get three flavours, they're layered on top of one another. Different from all the other ice cream/gelato spots. We went with chestnut (fantastic), lychee (fresh and fruity) and blood orange (a tad too sweet for my tastes). Definitely worth a stop on your GOR drive. Tasty, unique flavours.

Timboon Distillery is one of my regular stops when I'm heading down the Great Ocean Road. Their…read morefood is great, and have a wonderful selection of Timboon Ice Cream to try, and have lots of local food items to purchase. As for their liquors (which is the other part of the business). They are great! My favourites are the Coffee Liquor (amazingly good and if anyone says its at all similar to Baileys or Kahlua I will punch), and definitely can appreciate their limoncello, and strawberry schnaps. They make an amazingly smooth scotch which is distilled on site, and casked on site, but is a bit too expensive for what it is (in my humble opinion)

Underwhelming. I…read morehad been to this place before back in 2016, and the shop had more souvenirs and other food and cheese items for sale. I came here last weekend and the shop had a small selection of stuff and not much cheese. Most of it you can buy at the supermarket. The sandwich was alright, but the coffee was a little bitter. There wasn't a great focus on cheese, considering it's called Cheese World. I thought the menu would have more cheese dishes, but it was the same as any other cafe. This place is also cashless, so it is something to bear in mind when coming. I wouldn't recommend coming to cheese world though or the museum, which looked more like an antique shop. The menu and the venue could use a modern update.

I was so excited when I saw there was a Cheese World at the end of the Great Ocean Road cause…read morewell.. I love cheese! What a good way to explore some local Australian cheeses! We made the drive, about 30-40 mins or so from our last stop along the Great Ocean Road, The Bay of Islands - and this was going further from where we needed to be that night (which was in Melbourne). Now after actually going here, would I go out of my way to come back?! Probably not! It wasn't worth the detour before heading back to the city! We parked and there wasn't a whole lot of people there. They do produce all of their cheese right across the street, so you can see the dairy farm/cheese mills. There is a very very small cheese museum that they advertise, but no one was actually in there when we came. It looked like a cabin with old cheese machinery. Meh! As you enter the main building, I guess I was expecting a shop with lots and lots of cheeses.. I was expecting everything decked out in holiday fashion with cheese tastings and various jams, cheeses, and charcuterie you can try. But this place was just dead and definitely not festive. There was maybe a group or two sitting and eating lunch, looked like some older locals. The cheese section was literally two small fridge areas with pre-packaged cheeses that you would likely find at the grocery store. No amazing displays of blocks and blocks of cheeses that you could point out and try! They had a selection of maybe 10 cheeses all cut up into cubes that they'll let you taste. I really wasn't impressed with any of them that I tried. I was expecting so much more. The other section of the main building was a dining area - with a cafeteria style counter where you could order hot sandwiches, ice cream, or milk shakes. They had already closed the hot food area around 2pm (the place didn't close until 5pm). I ordered two cheese boards cause I was so disappointed with cheese world and needed my cheese fix anyways. Cheese was ok - boards weren't great - definitely don't expect your selections of fine salami/prosciutto! The sandwiches were ok as well - nothing seemed to wow me here. A lot of the store (like 90% of it) was definitely a gift shop selling random items such as sweets and honey, etc. I wouldn't recommend stopping here and I definitely wouldn't come back if I knew what it was! Not worth your trip or money!
