About Us
We’re a locally owned Christchurch dessert spot with three stores across the city - New Regent Street, Cashel Street and Riccarton. All built from a schoolboy dream (yep, Jed was just 17 when he opened the first store!) turning a side hustle into one of the most recognisable gelato cafés in Christchurch.
You’ll spot our NEW Riccarton store from a mile away - just look for the big bright orange café on Rotherham St!
Specialising in premium artisan gelato, hot desserts, and seriously good coffee (we’ve even been voted one of the top 3 late-night coffee spots in Christchurch)!
Inside; our cosy booth seating is made for long chats, loud laughs, and serious gelato taste-testing sessions. Up front, our street-side seating lets you soak up the Riccarton buzz while you work through your favourite Rollickin flavour.
Outside; A huge outdoor courtyard perfect for late-night dessert in Christchurch - comfy couches, big-energy catchups, and the kind of atmosphere that turns “just one scoop” into making new friends and planning to take over the world.
If you’re searching for the best gelato in Riccarton, late-night coffee in Christchurch, or a fun dessert spot near Westfield Riccarton - you’ve just found it.
