Rollickin Gelato (new Regent St)

A recommendation from my cousin, who is a Christchurch local, brought us to exploring New Regent Street and trying out Rollickin Gelato. I was pretty excited to try it out, especially after seeing the long queue waiting to get their hands on some tasty iced treats. Even though there was a crowd, and it was a clear tourist hot spot, I loved the community feel upon entering the little shop with the hand drawn A4 signs depicting the really funky menu, and the signage regarding the fundraising for various aspects of the community. The gelato flavours are so fun! We found a brownie take, one with anzac cookie, something with lemon and the Kiwi classic the Hokey Pokey! Staff is here lovely, and they are super helpful with the decision making too. If in town, I highly recommend checking out the delicious treats at Rollickin!

There are two locations of this ice cream dessert cafe which is an indication of its popularity! I enjoyed the Anzac bikkie special flavour, delicious chunks of cookie against creamy ice cream.

Finally went to Rollickin after 'years ' of contemplating visit (blame parking ! My favourite ice cream shop from when I visited onwards. They offer free sample and the flavours are great. They open late nights too which is a plus! Lines were surprisingly long for a late night but I guess that 's just people trying to sober up. Seats were limited but the outdoor is an option (a little chilly but made the experience even better! . Loved my brownie and my dulce de leche ice cream! Will come back for sure Staffs are also very kind. I feel sorry for them having to work that late but nonetheless they were superb all throughout. You all rock!

Definitely a must try. All the items we tried were very good. But one word of caution, as tempting it is to try many items, don't order too many items, as they are very filling.

Very unique and vibrant ice cream store. Warmly greeted from staff, offered some free tasting of the most popular flavors. Very rich and delicious ice creams. Reasonable prices, Plenty of seating Excellent range of ice creams Recommend this place to anyone looking for a cheeky delicious desert.
