48 Flavours Adelaide — Restaurant in Adelaide

Never in my entire life have I had an experience like the one I had at 48 flavors. For a bit of background, i enjoy Ice cream. Always have. I particularly like eating the cone once the ice cream has been sufficiently depleted. What I hate is the 'having a sticky face and hands' bit. To remedy this I developed a method of eating ice cream that satisfies all of these criteria: cone n a cup. I order my ice cream in a cup and put a cone on top like an edible party hat. This way I'm able to eat the ice cream out of the cup with my tine sample spoon (for longevity) ant nibble the tip of the cone at my leisure. No wet napkins. No mess. The ice cream is free to melt safely in the confines of the cup. I always order ice cream this way because this is the best way. I never had any problems ordering it this way until I went to 48 flavors. So there I am. Chinatown, summer night, unemployed but cashed up. Life is good. We're at the counter sampling things and comparing notes. The smiley man behind the counter is waiting patiently. I'm torn between fruity sweet or chocolatey sweet. I opt for a double scoop of hazelnut in a cup and a cone. The smiley man firmly says "No". I say "What?" He says "We don't do cups and cones" I say "Why" he says, I shot you not' "Company policy, because then people might share." ... First of all, what??? I'd understand if it was needles or prescription drugs but ice cream? And what business of yours is it if I want to share my ice cream with someone?? I bought and paid for it, I could give a lick to anyone who passes by as I skip home if I wanted to. Second, giving me just a cone or just a cup wouldn't do anything to keep me from sharing it if that's what I wanted. Spoons are the oldest and most common eatin utensils in the world. If i wanted to share, I could make it happen. And three, ice cream is happiness in it's frozen form. It's how we reward little league baseball teams after they win. It's how we soothe little league baseball teams after they lose. What kind of joyless gremlin believes sharing joy is a bad thing?? It's absolute madness. At the time of this post , there are over 220 photos of people happily eating ice cream together in medium to large groups. You expect me to believe those people didn't share? How much money are you losing if I go halfsies on a mango sorbet with my best friend?? I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO SHARE!! But because of "the implication" I was expected to compromise. Which i refused to do.

Anyway, I didn't get ice cream and I haven't been back to 48 flavors. The man serving the ice cream was very...

Don’t even bother going. The service was atrocious. The mature looking lady did not want to serve us after we patiently waited and lined up outside the store to get in. She looked around and asked other people if they were being looked after when the girls behind us in the line was being served first. I voiced out to her and she was really rude to me and I explained to her that we waited for a long time to be served. She cut me off and looked around, wanting to serve other people. This is the type of service that leaves a bad impression on customers. Goodbye 48 flavours, you’ve lost a customer who enjoys your ice cream but not...

Celebrated my two special occasions, birthday and Mother’s Day, with a truly special ice cream cake. The base layer was Salted Caramel, the family’s favourite, followed by a Rum and Raisin layer, which has always been my all-time favourite. The finishing touches reflected my son’s favourites: topped it with three scoops of Raspberry Sorbet, decorated with mixed berries, and finished with a chocolate drip around the edges. It truly made his day and brought joy to all of us. With 18 people, this 8-inch cake disappeared in the blink of an eye....
