Okay, I admit it, I had Ice Cream as my 'second breakfast' today. I am a bad. bad person…read more As a child I recall Royal Copenhagen as being the ultimate treat - delicious ice cream in a wide array of flavours, topped with cream and your choice of caramel or chocolate fudge. Not much has changed, except the cream is no longer complimentary - but I think I'm okay with that. My boyfriend is a huge fan as he loves the caramel fudge - often we'll stand there and add more and more to our ice creams as we eat it, without any judgement from the staff. There are some delicious flavours, today I had the white choc and caramel and a nutella but in the past I've always loved the jaffa choc orange - they lose a star because last time when I had this choice, I only got one Jaffa in the whole scoop *sad face*. Jaffa's aside, the waffle cones are great - and they offer to dip the top in chocolate for free if you' like! Open til late, if you drop by later in the day, the fudge station tends to be a bit messy but apart from this, the ice cream is great!

Royal Copenhagen has to be one of the slickest looking Ice Cream shops in the Bay area. It has a…read morelarge selection of amazing flavours that are actually made on site. I also know that they use real quality ingredients in their flavours, the Nutella has real Nutella in it, Cookies and Cream is made with Oreos and Jaffa Orange with whole Jaffas. The staff are always fresh faced, usually female and attractive, in their trendy black shirts. I think George, (the owner) must pick the staff to entice the males of the community to come and buy ice cream. For the children and young at heart, there is a self serve topping bar which is very popular, personally, I like my ice cream unadulterated. My favourite flavour here would have to be the name sake: Royal Copenhagen, it is a sheer delight for the taste buds; honeycomb and butterscotch - yum! They also do really good shakes, one of my favourites being Old English Toffee flavour. For entertainment while waiting for your ice cream you can often watch one of the staff sitting at the large waffle making machine preparing your fresh cones.

It's great that this store exists. The only issue I have is that when a popular item is sold out…read moreit can be weeks before it returns. As a customer it drives me elsewhere in search of regular supplies. I understand there have been supply chain problems lately, but why haven't I been able to get a tube of toothpaste or a painkiller for 3 weeks when I can get it elsewhere anytime? Or a pack of muffins? Or kitten food? etc, etc If they fix their stock management situation they might find an increased regularity of customers. With the Coles up the road now closed, a lot of potential trade is going begging for lack of regularly available product.

For those who have lived in the thriving metropolis that is Adelaide as long as myself, you come to…read moreknow that some supermarkets offer a little more than others. Some are bigger, have a more expansive range of bog roll (I like the tripple ply, quilted with Dolphins) or have super hot check out chicks filling your bags....yep. Hyde Park Gourmet Grocer is on a different scale all together, and of those that claim to be 'Gourmet', this one is definately deserved of the title! Don't feel like cooking, but not keen on an offering from the local fat burger? Drop on by the Grocer and grab one of the many pre-made din-din packs that will taste like someone who can cook whipped it up! As always I am drawn to the cheeses and cured meats and the odd pot of Pheasant Farm Pate.....goes well with a stubby of Pale, I'm all class!

Have you ever noticed that when you run out of something at the weekend, you always end up visiting…read morea really daggy grocery store and paying $10 more than you normally would for your toilet paper? Well you may still pay more for the loo paper at Hyde Park Grocer (let's face it weekend grocers are always more expensive than Coles and Woolies) but at least it won't be a daggy experience for you - in fact I predict you'll probably enjoy it. And I predict you will come out with much more than just the look paper in hand! Of course, Hyde Park Grocer stocks toilet paper and plenty of other every day items like milk, butter and cereal but where they excel is their selection of gourmet goodies. With a focus on South Australian produce, they stock gourmet breads and cheeses to die for and a range of cakes and pastries to make your mouth water. I've been known to be quite partial to their fresh chocolate brownies from the deli counter. Don't know where they come from and don't care - they just taste damn good and are a chocolate and a cake hit all in one. They also stock a range of ready made meals for those who either don't cook or are having a night off from the meat and three veg and, they have a range of gourmet products that work well as presents. These guys are open every day of the year except Christmas Day from 8.00 in the morning till 9.00 at night so if you do run out of toilet paper, pay them a visit. They're on King William Road just back from the Hyde Park Tavern towards the city.

What sets this grocery store apart from the others is: firstly, the incredible variety of different foods they have in store and; secondly, the fresh vegetables they stock for use in Asian cooking. When you first walk into the store, you'll notice that the entire front area of the shop is occupied by large tables displaying a variety of vegetables, roots and other ingredients. Best of all, it all appears to be very fresh. The thing I really like about this shop is that, in addition to an assortment of Asian foods, they also have a huge range of cooking utensils at the back of the shop. There are hundreds of wooden steamers and other utensils ideal for Asian cooking, which is convenient if you happen to require any of those things in order to turn your groceries into an oriental delight for dinner.

Everytime I'm here I get a cheese and bacon roll, and it's always softy-soft, and seems to have been freshly baked that morning. I'm not the only one who thinks so as last time I was here at 11am, and lucky to get the last one. The staff are also very friendly (almost a little too friendly, they might just chew your ear off yapping). In a nutshell - support the non-conglomerates!
