Cold Rock

If you haven't tried Kiwi Ice Cream chain Cold rock, whats been stopping ya? The shops logo and layout screams appeal and demands you have some; hot summer days particularly. The beauty of this ice cream is its super creamy and super smooth, without being overly sweet. 
For $7.70, this review choose a large container with three flavours - chocolate, rum and raisin and white chocolate. The white chocolate has a lovely texture, and doesn't fall into 'sickly sweet' white chocolate territory. The chocolate ice cream is smooth and really rich, but lacks just that extra 'wow' factor of, say, Movenpick, while the Rum and Raisin is delightfully delicious, plump, juicy raisins adding something special, although a little bit more rum flavouring wouldn't go amiss. 
The service from the staff is, as usual, excellent, covering all options well and polite in the process. There are all sorts of options from toppings such as Cadbury's chocolates right through to spectacular ice cream cakes! Theres over 15 choices of ice cream too - so give it a go, pronto!

The Cold Rock Clayfield store is situated amongst a few other fast food places on a busy intersection in Clayfield. The good thing is there is ample parking and there seems to be a good turnover of car parks as people come and go to buy ice cream. It's the middle of winter and people are happy to by large containers of ice cream to take home and enjoy. I rock up with a mission. I want to try some milo ice cream. When I get in the store, the staff are all smiling and appear happy, albeit, busy with lots of customers to serve. The process of ordering and making up the orders appears to be efficient and friendly. My turn comes up and I ask for milo ice cream and ask what would be a good mix in. White Tim Tams are suggested and I go with it. It turns out milo ice cream and a white chocolate Tim Tam crushed in it is amazing. I loved it. I'd do it again and again I reckon. As I eat my ice cream from a cup, I'm amazed at how busy this store is in the middle of winter. Albeit, a Brisbane winter isn't like a Canberra winter, but still, it's winter. I'm happy to keep coming here.

Cone and love ice cream here! Great array of Flavours in ice cream and at least 5 or more sorbet flavours- all excellent. Mix in fav lollies.... sooooo good! Service always consistently friendly
