Review:

Frozen Yogurt is very in at the moment, with stores popping up in every suburb. The perfect snack, dessert or breakfast (if you want, I guess), Froyo, as the cool people say, is delicious, and depending on toppings, healthy. If you haven’t had frozen yogurt before and are worried about the protocols, I would recommend going with someone who has been before so they can let you know how it works (although it’s very easy, it may be a little overwhelming).

Yogurberry is a quickly growing franchise that has serve yourself frozen yogurt. With a changing selection of toppings including the usual fruits, chocolates and lollies, Yogurberry is a cheaper and more individual experience of frozen yogurt. Depending on the size of the store, there will be a different amount of flavours, usually four different ones including the standard original and changing other flavours including mango, strawberry, passionfruit, taro, green tea, chocolate, pomegranate to name a few. They also offer coffee, smoothies and milkshakes. The quality of the frozen yogurt isn’t as good as Noggi and Moochi in my opinion, as it is icier rather than smooth and the original flavouring just… isn’t as good. But I still go there all the time, love a good Froyo Friday.

Coffee & Ice Cream Lovers...

Venue: Bay Vista

Location: 83 The Grand Parade, Brighton-Le-Sands

Cost: $3+

Dress code: Depends on Weather!

Review: 

Bay Vista makes such awesome waffles and has the best Iced Caramels...YUM!! I come to this place often, we usually get a seat by the window downstairs and it's actually always a nice experience. I have never had too much of an issue with the staff however they do come across with a lot of attitude and like they can't be bothered. I think it's just the nature of how young most of the staff are, some of the girls and boys that work there look like they are no more than 13-14 and it's mainly the girls that have the bad attitude. The waffles are too good to resist so we keep going back for more!

Review:
Gelato Messina is the busiest and best gelato in Sydney, if you ask me.

Two scoops - Chocolate Chip and Lemon Sorbet
I arrived at the Darlinghurst store at about 4pm on a Sunday afternoon. The line was out the door (but don't worry because 5 minutes after I bought mine, there was no queue). I hadn't been before, so I was overwhelmed by all the flavours. I opted for two scoops for $4 so I could try some different flavours. I had Chocolate Chip and Lemon Sorbet. I would definitely recommend checking out what combinations they recommend here before you go. However, if you can't before you get there, try something different, perhaps a special. I wish I'd tried something different when I went, as I opted for the safe flavours that I knew I liked. Now I have an excuse to go again and again to try all the different flavours!

The Darlinghurst Messina is located on the busy Victoria Street. If you're driving, I would highly recommend parking in Womerah Avenue, three blocks east of the shop. It is hour-limit free parking and there are some spots, even if you have to drive around the block a couple of times. Practise your reverse parking skills before you go! If you're catching public transport, Messina is only 145 metres from Kings Cross train station, or catch the 327 bus from Elizabeth Street in the city. I would highly recommend the trip to any of the above locations, for the perfect Spring snack!
