Once again we decided to venture here on our way home from a car show.
Line up was out the door,parking was streets away but well worth it.lots of shops on the walk,back lol
We lined up for gorgeous gelato and drinks.
Even tho the line was out the door they had 3 staff serving that one line so it wasnt a long wait and they got thru us all pretty quickly
I had bundaberg pineapple and coconut drink and a cup,of cherry ripe and raspberry gelato,partner had pistachio and salted caramel which he couldnt stop raving about. Mum had strawberry white chocolate.
The food we saw getting served looked wonderful.service was fast,tables were cleaned fast,the place was packed.
They have a small cheese room facing the street to entice you in.
Prices are reasonable. The decor is nice ,all their ekka winning certificates and trophies for the gelato are on display on the walls. atmosphere was a buzz. Try to go on a day thru the week to get a much more laid back experience. Love the place and standards are still superb.great stop on country drives. Ooen 9-5

Mostly we come here for the ice cream. Well I personally only ever come here for the ice cream. Some friends buy some of the gourmet delights such as cheeses that are available here, but what can I say except "Ice Cream".

Now by ice cream I am using that would generally. They have ice cream, gelato and sorbets. They won an award for their chocolate ice cream, and I am of course biases as I have a preference for chocolate ice cream, but my friend swears by their tiramisu ice cream (not so sure about that though).

Place was packed on a public holiday and I can see why. We only wanted gelato this time but they have sit down eating,gelato,deli and a cheese room. Open and bright.bit cramped at the counter on weekends lol
We bought 2 flavour cup gelatos. I had cherry rioe which was absolutely divine and blood orange which tasted citrusy. Partner had passionfruit cheescake which I had a taste and damn it was good ,had the passionfruit tang and was like eating the fruit and He had banana with galliano which was very smooth and had a full taste of banana. Cost was $6:60 each. Drinks fridge has lots of different drinks. The cheese room at the front of store looked amazing with all dofferent varieties. The guys and girls serving were friendly . Place is very clean.parking outside on the street is hard to find but there is a parking area down the alley at the back ,entrance from the st at side of store. Will go back and try other things .

I was staying near Maleny for two weeks and I came across this coffee and ice-cream store, the coffee was amazing and the tiramisu ice-cream was superb, probably the best ice-cream I have ever had.

We were staying a few nights in Maleny and asked a good friend where he would recommend to go for good coffee. "Colin James, I think it is called. It is like a little deli and cafe". So we were off to find some good coffee. We weren't disappointed! The staff were friendly and efficient. There were only a few choices for cakes, although the one we chose was delicious and made on site. What we noticed plastered all over the walls were the many many awards for gelati. In the half an hour we were there we noticed many people came in and purchased gelati, despite it being winter! I dragged my husband along the following day to test it for myself (along with another good latte). The Mars Bar gelati was delicious. This cafe would be the first I would visit next time I return to Maleny!
