Ciccone & Sons

This place is my new, favorite neighborhood ice cream shop (we are truly spoiled for choice here in Sydney). It’s in Redfern’s funky/​gentrifying part of town, which means it’s still kind of a secret spot. I have been here at least six or seven times and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the crazy lines you see over at some of the other more well known shops.
The ice cream here is made with the highest quality ingredients. In fact, they even sell the Jersey milk at the shop. My son swears it’s the best milk he’s ever had in his life (and this from the boy who grew up drinking organic, bottled milk back in Northern CA… so he knows what he is talking about).
The have a small (ish) selection of ice creams, written by hand on a sheet each day. When they run out of a flavor, they run out, but I can always find another ice cream to try. My favorite is the Crème Brulee, but I haven’t had anything here yet that I did not love. It is creamy and made by hand, and the boys that run this place are really, really nice.
Give it a try, Inner Westies, you won’t regret it.

Let me start by saying the fit out here is gorgeous. I love the way they’ve styled this place with the handwritten menu out the front advertising the flavours of the day.
The great news is the gelato is excellent as well. I tried the stracciatella which had a delicious milky flavour with nice chunks and chips of good quality chocolate throughout.
Other flavours on offer included gianduia (with lovely nutty pieces mixed in), almond (unusual huh), honeycomb and more.
Definitely recommend giving this place a go and you get a nice large serving for $ 4.
