This Dairy Bell is not really suited to the area, sadly. The area has a lot of quality restaurants, and with that, people are after more gourmet-style ice cream.

Dairy Bell, however, is your classic variety of ice cream, and hits that market perfectly. As a Dairy Bell fan for the best part of three decades, I'm happy, but can note why others may not be.

This place is a nice place to enjoy a nice ice cream by the water on a summers day. Dairy bell sells high quality / tasty ice cream and reasonable prices. I went and the ice cream and gelati was fresh and delicious and the prices we good.

Approximate cost: $5

Dairy Bell is one of those businesses that just hasn't kept up with the times. There are infinately more options for high-quality Ice-cream/Gelati these days yet Dairy Bell is still selling the same products as 20 years ago. We had dinner at a nice restaurant in Docklands and went to this outlet for some dessert. The range of options was very poor and the flavours didn't look particularly enticing. The girl behind the counter talked us into trying the Choctops, which looked exactly like the ones you get at the movies and unfortunately tasted like the ones you get at the movies. Definately not acceptable for the prices they are charging.

We were really annoyed because we'd had a great dinner at The Steakhouse and then on the way back to the car we walked past a new Gelato Bar that had amazing looking "home-made" style Gelato and we were eating our trashy icey Dairy Bell!

Approximate cost: $5

To me it didn't seem like the ice cream tasted all that different from the stuff you can buy from a supermarket. If you stop here, definitely make it a sundae to make your ice cream more of a treat.
