Jason’s Bakery makes a unique affectionately pastry labeled the “doughssant” which as the name hints, is a combination between a doughnut and a croissant.

The TOFFIFFE is a particularly indulgent treat as it is filled with salted caramel pot de creme and toffee, as well as topped with even more toffee, hazelnut ganache and toasted hazelnuts.

It’s back! Our Italian thick hot chocolate finally made it to our gelateria at 165 Long Street. Don’t expect just milk and a bit of cocoa… Our hot dessert is rich in melted Belgian chocolate ?, which makes it extra thick. The options are many: dark chocolate, white chocolate , or half half (white and half half are available only at @ozcfarm market day every Saturday ) ,and you can choose to have it with home made whipped cream or with your choice of gelato. ??

Rich, thick and piping hot, Moro Gelato’s hot chocolate is a chilly day dream and served with homemade whipped cream.

If their life-changing hot chocolate wasn’t good enough, it’s perfect for pairing with their decadent ice cream and wafer biscuits dipped in chocolate.
