Poco Artisan Icecream - PORT FAIRY

Of course the world’s most liveable town needs to have its own artisan ice cream. Victoria’s Port Fairy was awarded that accolade in 2012 – heritage seaside location, lively arts scene, great restaurants and cafés. And the town’s Poco Artisan Ice Cream produces its signature frozen treats in-house from quality ingredients.<br/ <br/ The tiny shop has just 12 flavours but they change every day. Great flavours and generous serves.<br/ <br/ Poco is very popular, but check opening hours before you visit – outside the peak holiday season it may only be open on weekends and it is closed over winter.

When visiting Port Fairy, this restaurant is a must-visit. They offer a great variety of flavors that are very creative. I enjoyed all the flavors, but it would be improved if they used a larger cone, as it became messy when the ice cream started to melt. The cone was too small for 2 scoops of ice cream.

Line was out the door five minutes after they opened. Super popular place with amazing ice cream. All ice cream is homemade. You can never pick more then one flavour so they do cups up to four scoops. Great flavour and great quality.

'Just get a tub from IGA for $1.99, ' said my father-in-law, half jokingly. He was not the type of man to wait for anything, especially if there wasn 't an ice cold beer in hand. So needless to say he didn 't wait with us as we queued for some ice cream. <br/ <br/ We waited about 20 minutes for the ice cream but was the wait worth it? Yes, yes it was. <br/ <br/ There was only one man on duty when we went, presumably the owner. He had a gentle smile, kind eyes and generous scooping. One scoop from Poco is the equivalent of 1.5 scoops from the likes of Messina.<br/ <br/ There were a wide range of flavours inside this bright and rustic shop. On the day we went there were vanilla bean, 'old salty ' salted caramel, blueberry meringue, banana and milo, strawberry, choco classic, rose lemonade, bounty, hazelnut, salty macadamia and chocolate, and nectarines. There was also pannacota but it ran out. <br/ <br/ We had the blueberry meringue (5/5), banana and milo (5/5), rose lemonade (3/5) and salted caramel (4/5). <br/ <br/ The man with the kind eyes also quietly rounded down the price of our ice creams, giving us a discount. Will definitely come back again next time we 're in Port Fairy.

Delicious ice cream with a range of unexpected flavours not just the usual chocolate and vanilla. Especially loved the chai flavour. So yummy!
