Please stop ringing your bell at almost 8pm at night whilst my kids are trying to sleep. You have just woken up my baby who is very hard to get to sleep. I normally love home ice cream and buy it most times it comes down my street at a reasonable hour but not anymore. You have lost yourself a loyal customer because of your idiotic loud bell ringing at night!!! from a person in Warwick.

Interstate company with local franchises (the drivers you buy from usually). Great idea, friendly service and good product delivered to your street. kids get excited when they hear the bell knowing it means icecream. Some of the product is similar to what you get in the supermarkets but they to change the product lines and try to vary so not to be too similar to what supermarkets offer in terms of icecream types and flavours.

tks for this. I often hear the bell in my suburb but as yet haven't tried Home icecream. your review has tempted me somewhat! may consider now instead of supermarket.

Their head office is in Queensland, but we deal with the driver who has the franchise in West Footscray, Victoria. I think their Melbourne base is in Tullamarine.

Without fail the excitement mounts as you hear that ice-cream jingle being played by the truck - doesn't matter how old or young you are.

There's a great range of products and all quality ice-cream, either on a stick, in a cone or a tub. You can book a particular day and time for the driver to visit you on his round if you're a regular customer.

Our particular favourites are Jelly tops - 15 for under $10 - choc coated with a milk ice and a yummy fruity section. And the Mint Cones (like a Drumstick) are 8 pack for just over $10. Big saving on name brands and I think it's better icecream.

They also have seasonal Christmas items and tubs of other flavours, milk ices, and for summer, 30 Pack Koolsticks (various flavours) for $9.50.

The driver was always obliging, and stayed to have a yarn and a joke with us. He has change also if you don't have the right money.

A great service which makes me with I had a bigger freezer.

This is the best i cream. Whenever we are in Brisbane it would be delivered and it was such a great service. Wish they delivered around us in Melbourne. The mango bars are our favorites and we miss them!

I love Home Ice-Cream. I do have 2 complaints though...

It doesn't come near my home and I'm in the middle of town, and the jingle on the TV commercial gets stuck in my head.

In all seriousness, the Ice-Cream is delicious (especially their butterscotch) and it's very affordable.

great concept of truck going driving through your neighbourhood selling ice creams, you just listen out for the music and then go outside and make your purchase

you do not need to worry about your ice cream melting as you would if you were to buy ice cream from supermarket and taking it home

the quality is very nice and a good variety of flavours

the price is economical too

its a nice treat to have

Delicious ice cream that comes to your door on the days that suit you! A great idea for summer holidays, when you don't feel like going out to shop for a cold treat. They are delicious and can come in big and small orders. My favourite home ice cream was their heart shaped chocolate coated vanilla ice cream- see how amazing they get?

I am gluten free and Home icecream is fantastic as most of their products are made with natural ingredients. They have more choices for me than with the regular icecreamsl ike streets.

I tried ordering from Home icecream when we had the flyer in our mail box.

It was quite difficult to locate a near by franchisee, required a multiple phone calls but, after our initial purchase, it was all smooth.

Great buy lots of flavours, it's better to buy bulks imo.
I prefer to receive the goods in person than to have their special cooling packaging.

Quality local ice-cream at a very affordable cost. The Home Ice Cream van stops conveniently right in front of my house, so I don't have to go far to buy premium ice-cream treats for my family. Whenever my children and grandchildren visit, they love to open my freezer to help themselves to the assortment of Home Ice Cream flavours I have stocked up for them!

Nothing better than standing outside on a Monday morning when the bell starts ringing, the kids know the ice cream man is coming. Fantastic ice creams and very affordable.

Home ice cream is really nice, I love the mango ice cream, the owner is nice and helpful, the water ice blocks are nice too and really cheap

Love the concept of bulk-buying the delivered icecream, at cheaper costs than a lot of other services. There are no well-known brands on offer, but the private brands are very good themselves. Great service.

Staff on the trucks are always very friendly, also.

well done home ice-cream great value for money and you can rely on them coming around your area at least once a week so you can keep a steady supply and never run out yummmm!

what a great franchise everybody loves it and the world needs more icecream!

Love to hear the music, as the home ice-cream truck comes driving down the street. Yummy ice-creams & value for money. The taste is great, & the boxes are filled with ice-creams.

Home Icecream is great value, especially in the summer holidays when the kids like an icypole nearly every day. Love that I can buy in bulk to last the fortnight and that they have healthy options (and the nutritional info is available on their website).

Their icecreams are smaller than those you buy at the shops but that's much better for portion control - I don't feel so guilty having a smaller icecream. I hate paying $3 or more for an icecream when I'm out now when I know I've got some at home that cost a fraction of that price.
Even better now they offer the option to order online and deliver to your door on delivery day (once per fortnight) or deliver to a Cool Cube (esky with special freezer blocks to keep cold 8+ hours) if you're going to be out.

I love that they come around regularly or you can order online and they'll come when it suits you. Very nice ice-cream especially the Bowen mango. Not so keen on the creamy low fat ones, they're a bit powdery textured.

C123 02 Jul 2012

Completely agree- low fat ice cream takes away from the quality! If you want to enjoy ice cream you should eat it as it is!
