Aqua S Ice Cream Parlour Opens in Sydney CBD

Overview

Sweet tooths looking for the ultimate summer treat should look no further, brand new CBD ice cream parlour Aqua S is bringing your candy-fuelled search to an end. Opened just two weeks ago on George Street, Aqua S is a new Sydney 'soft-serve specialist', according to Good Food — and one that could give Messina's Dessert Bar a run for its money.

They've unleashed $8 soft serve cones for the summer, a price point which may steer any punter toward McDonald's. But hold up a second, this little ol' dessert escapade comes filled with sea salt-flavoured soft serve, topped with fairy floss, sweet popcorn, popping candy and a grilled marshmallow. And looks like an actual cloud.

If you're not down for sea salt soft-serve, you can choose from two others on tap — changing every two weeks. Right now, you can take your pick from biscotti soft-serve (!) or a lemon tea flavour, made from real tea bags of the good stuff. Keep things simple with a single soft-serve 'scoop', or blend up those flavours with mixed 'scoops' — and you can pick and choose from those ridiculous-sounding toppings.

If you're keen to try the fairy floss-topped cone with the lot, you might want to think of a fitting name for such an ambitious confection. According to GF, the working title is 'All You Can Eat', so team are running an Instagram competition to name the cloud-like creation. The prize? Free ice cream, legitimate bragging rights and an excuse to eat this thing:

Find Aqua S at Shop 27, Level 10, 501 George Street, Sydney. They're open Sunday to Wednesday, midday-10pm, Thursday to Saturday, midday-10.30pm.
