Lick It Gelato's a somewhat recent addition to the Queen's Quay neighbourhood. They have a few flavours that are fairly consistent but I've noticed that they're always trying new ones. At a previous visit, for example, I had the pleasure of trying their Earl Grey gelato for the first time. With flakes of what I presume to be tea leaves, I ordered a scoop without sampling it first. It was amazing. It was like someone had taken all the flavour from a hot piping London Fog and infused it into an amazing frozen treat.
Asides from Earl Grey, I've been back several times now and have been able to try many of their flavours. These are some of my favourite:
- Earl Grey (rating: A) see above, it's like London Fog in a gelato form
- Banana/Avocado (rating: A+): sweet and creamy. They both complement each other exceedingly well
- Chocolate Mint (Rating: A-): Chunks of chocolate and real mint leaves! Really refreshing
- Orange (Rating: A-): It's like a meaty sorbet with real chunks of orange.
- Peach (Rating: A-): Same as the orange, the peach is refreshing with chunks of peaches
The downside is that the availability of the flavours is inconsistent because they're always changing. It's like playing the lottery every time I go, although at the very least, you feel that you've won the Encore when they don't have the flavours you want.
Lick It Gelato is what it is: a consistently good gelato place with decent prices. I haven't tried their sandwiches or pastries but perhaps on another visit.
