Ah, The Bean & Cone in Bunbury. A place where dreams are churned, and frozen fantasies become a reality. This is not your ordinary ice-cream shop, my friends. No, no. This is a whimsical wonderland where every lick and every bite takes you on a journey through a symphony of flavors and textures.
As I step into the vibrant and quirky space, I can't help but be captivated by the playful decor. The walls are adorned with colorful murals depicting swirling ice cream cones and dancing spoons. The air is filled with the sweet scent of freshly made waffle cones, their warm, sugary aroma enveloping the room like a comforting hug.
I make my way to the counter, my eyes wide with anticipation. Behind the glass display, a tantalizing array of frozen delights awaits. Each scoop is a work of art, meticulously crafted and bursting with creativity. From classic favorites to daring combinations, The Bean & Cone has it all.
I decide to start my ice cream extravaganza with a scoop of their signature flavor, the Bunbury Bliss. This delightful creation blends locally sourced honeycomb, swirled through creamy vanilla bean ice cream, and crowned with a sprinkling of crushed macadamia nuts. It's a harmonious symphony of sweetness and crunch that instantly transports me to the pristine beaches of Western Australia.
Next, I venture into uncharted territory with the Mango Tango sorbet. This vibrant, tropical delight is a burst of sunshine in a cone. The tangy sweetness of ripe mango dances on my taste buds, refreshing and invigorating. It's like a mini vacation to an exotic island, where the sun kisses your skin and the breeze whispers stories of faraway lands.
Feeling adventurous, I take a leap into the unknown with their experimental flavor of the month, aptly named "The Wild One." It's a concoction that defies convention, combining unexpected ingredients like lavender, chili flakes, and dark chocolate. The first bite is a revelation. The floral notes of lavender intermingle with a gentle kick of heat, all enveloped in the velvety embrace of rich, bittersweet chocolate. It's a flavor rollercoaster that leaves me breathless and craving more.
As I indulge in these frozen delights, I can't help but reflect on the cultural significance of ice cream. It's a universal language of joy, a treat that transcends borders and brings people together. Whether it's a scorching summer day or a cozy winter evening, ice cream has the power to ignite smiles and create shared memories.
In The Bean & Cone, I've discovered not just a place to satisfy my sweet tooth, but a haven of imagination and creativity. It's a testament to the human spirit's ability to turn something as simple as frozen dairy into a canvas for innovation and expression.
So, my friends, if you find yourself in Bunbury, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to The Bean & Cone. Let your taste buds embark on a fantastical adventure, where every lick is a moment of bliss and every flavor is a story waiting to be savored. Trust me, you won't be...
Read moreStopped in for coffee. They open at 10am however I would leave it for a bit longer, as they were still taking out furniture at this time. Still setting up and putting out icecream well after 10am.
There is outdoor seating with no cover and indoor seating but its up a set of stairs. There is a table downstairs but the seats are very low.
Parking non existent, so you’ll have to park at the shopping centre and walk.
Coffee was good and waffles had a large scoop of icecream, but with inly a small amount of syrup, they were a little dry. When we were ordering, most of the icecream flavours weren’t in the cabinets, but there would be a few to choose from, once filled.
A lot of lollies and strap things on display. Was surprise to see out of date stock on sale but it was marked as such.
Staff friendly.
We went to check it out, but with the parking and seating issues, we probably would find a more suitable venue for people with...
Read moreDo not trust this place when purchasing gift cards. We had a $20 gift card pre-purchased and went in to redeem the voucher. Apparently the store 'just throws out that kind of thing' (information of the gift card) 'after awhile', Manager was absolutely useless and advised could not do anything about it. I guess it's easy not to care when you already have taken the money!
Disgusting to think supporting local is supporting these type of people stay in business to rip off other locals.
In reality, the shops owner stole stealing $20 dollars from a customer, as there were no goods received for this money nor no intention to return the money.
Shame on you!
On a side note at least the young girl had the decency to attempt to rectify it by...
