It’s that time again when fruit ice cream goes from being a pleasant possibility to a beach-day imperative.
Thomas Bros Ice Cream and Cherry Stall has opened its doors for the season, with its four ice cream machines already being put to delicious work.
Their Earlise cherries are currently topping the ice creams, soon to be followed by Rosan, and the Sambas should be ready for Christmas. Thomas Bros uses only new-season cherries in and on its ice creams, which could be why this is the business’s best-selling flavour.
Motueka’s other ice cream outlets – some permanent, like Toad Hall, Delicious and Top of the Town dairy; some temporary, like the seasonal fruit sellers on the southern and northern outskirts of town – have also opened their gates to serve the queues of sun-soaked locals and tourists.
