I didn't notice…read moretoo much sweetness at all, as I was too busy reveling in the delicious chocolate mudcake ice cream, with a generous scoop of cappucino icecream on top. Oh. Yes. Ohyesohyes. Ice cream and the beach are inextricably mixed. You can't be near a beach without icecream. I don't care if I'm wandering up and down the street, chasing seagulls on the shore front, or sitting on a nice patch of grass in the median strip - icecream makes the Semaphore experience perfect. Especially chocolate mudcake icecream. And I always love supporting a local and long standing business. I have nothing against Copenhagen across the road (I have nothing against anywhere that provides me with ice cream!), but this place will always get my business.

I think most of us Adelaide born and bred Yelpers would have some memories of grabbing an ice cream…read morecone with our parents (when we were young or just the other day for myself) and walking along the shore looking at all of the hot chickys in their bikinis.....I mean watching the sunset on a warm Summer evening. Well for me that shore was Semaphore and that Ice Cream shop was Take 2 Ice Creamery. I am not sure if it is the same name as the shop we used to go to countless seasons ago, but it definitely served the same Ice Cream. There really is something nostalgic about Golden North, especially the Honey flavour and I mean this in a completely non-sexual way.....well, mostly. I was Yelping down Semaphore Road just last week and had to partake in a cone. They have competition now, with Royal Copenhagen just across the road, but for the purists like me the choice is easy!

I think this is the best gelato/ice cream shop in Adelaide. They have 48 flavors as the store name…read moresays and it takes forever to decide what I want. My absolute favorite is black sesame. If you like Asian taste in your ice cream, you cannot go wrong with sesame. Lychee is refreshing, and caramel fig and rum raisin are also my favorite as I can taste a little of pick me up (wink wink). My sister's favorite is gorgonzola pear and fig but we were told it is only seasonal as they want to keep their ingredients authentic as possible. The Asian male staff was very helpful and he even mixed flavors for us to try something new and creative! Highly recommended.

It's weird because I always walk past 48 Flavors on Gouger Street when I want icecream...and go…read moreacross the road to Gelatissimo. Not anymore. Not that anything is wrong with Gelatissimo but damn 48 Flavors had me really impressed. Because they have flavours that other icecream places do not have. Actually, for me it's just 3 flavours in particular. Durian, Taro and Black Sesame. With durian, it's probably one of the most divisive foods I can think of. People either absolutely love it or hate it. It has a custard-like texture with a rich creamy quality. However the people who absolutely despise it will point out it's pungent aroma, and pungent it putting it very politely. Basically it smells like rotting fruit mixed with other things. It's considered the Kind of Fruits in SE Asia and it's definitely one of my favourites. I wasn't going to get anything...until I saw the sign saying 'Durian Icecream- Tasting Available.' I think my eyes widened a bit and I immediately went to buy a scoop. I tasted before buying and then changed my mind to 2 scoops!! It's that good. The icecream's flavour 100% matches that of ripe durian, and I was kicking myself that it took me so long to discover it. I'm definitely coming back to try a few more flavours, and to get the durian a few more times. However I may need to sit a bit further away from my friends, because they kept pointing out the smell!

Prior to that - Jamaica Blue was the busier of the 2. The service here is excellent it must be said. The staff have smiles on their faces and (mostly) seem happy in their work. The variety of food has always impressed me though. It's displayed to show the fact that it's fresh and tasty. I had a ham and cheese croissant this morning - and was very impressed. The amount of crumbs later found on my shirt was testament to its freshness! All in all - worth seeking out on your next visit!

Attended the official opening today of the new Big Shed venue on Port Road. Great venue and…read morefriendly staff. What let it down was the ridiculous price charged for the "craft" beers. Having grown up in the UK and enjoyed real ale for many years through CAMRA and such like it's disappointing that a new venue like this should charge $12 for a "pint" of beer for this can be best described as a metric pint, aka 375ml, whereas an imperial pint is about 550ml. In the UK you would pay around 4 pound for a 550ml pint of real ale - which is about $9. Why then do we have to be ripped off like this at the Big Shed - especially on opening day where you would think at least they would be offering specials. Shame on you - it's pure profiteering!

Happily, their standard large comes with 4 shots so I don't have to explain too much to the lass taking our order and risk sounding like something out of "LA Story". Sadly, on a 37 C degree day, my order isn't as straightforward. I love cold drinks on a hot day but without all the ice cream and whipped cream that make up the great Aussie iced coffee. Basically I like what The Guy likes but on ice (minus the 'extra hot' bit obviously). Here's the great part... They got it! It was perfect. The coffee was good. The price was good. The server was friendly, helpful and not easily fazed. It's dog friendly and close to the beach. Awesome.

It might be biased to say that I'd rather pay an extra $2 and get some more maple syrup and maybe a better blend of coffee. The view and the staff are spectacular.

I got the Chilli & Cinnamon Dark Hot Chocolate. Just how I like my men! Hot, sweet, spicy, exotic and dark ;) Ohh Em Gee, truly rgasmic!! I was constantly saying "oh oh OHH this is SO good"! Even better that it was a large mug of this divine sweet elixir, which had just the right bite from the chilli. I also ordered a salted caramel macaron which was delicious with it's subtle bursts of saltiness. My friend ordered her pregnancy fix yet again, another Iced Chocolate. This was in a league of its own compared to the one she ordered at Hawker Street Cafe earlier that morning. This was decadent with plentiful swirls of Belgian milk chocolate. She kept mentioning that it needs to be on tap and that she wished her tongue was long enough to lick the chocolate on the inside of the glass. That's how good it was! Would I return? In a heartbeat!
