Chocolate soft serve ($2.20) x mango ice lolly ($1.20)!

A little afternoon cool-down with BB: a chocolate soft serve ($2.20) for me and a mango ice lolly ($1.20) for him. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ˜‹

What we had ($3.40 total):

The chocolate one was a proper swirled soft serve, piled into a chocolate-coloured wafer cone, the kind that starts dripping down your fingers the moment you step back into the heat. It had that easy milk-chocolate flavour, cool and creamy rather than rich, exactly what you want when you are just trying to beat the afternoon sun.

His mango lolly was the bright counterpoint: a deep golden, glassy ice pop on a stick, frozen hard and tasting cleanly of sweet mango. Less creamy, more refreshing, the sort of thing that turns your tongue cold in a couple of licks.

Two very different textures for $3.40 between us, the soft, melty chocolate against the icy, fruity mango. Nothing fancy, just a cheap, happy way to walk off the heat.

Overall: 4.3 / 5. ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Creamy chocolate soft serve and a clean, icy mango lolly, a sweet $3.40 cool-down. Would re-order.
