There’s Something Sweet About Bathurst… 🍭

From scoops of handmade gelato at The Lucky Bean Cafe, to decadent waffles at Interesting Things, and thick, dreamy shakes at the Pink Lady Milkshake Parlour — Bathurst is a sugar lover’s dream. Don’t forget a slice of the famous lemon meringue at the Historic Pig and Whistle Inn, a treat that has stood the test of time.

And if you’re really up for a sweet challenge…

The Big Pink Shakedown is back at the Pink Lady Milkshake Parlour!
Think you can conquer 5 milkshakes in 25 minutes? Choose 4 from the menu and brace yourself for the mystery shake. 🥤
Finish in time = free entry. Beat the record = your name on the wall.

Then I'll make some other reels as well, but for now, this is the Oreo flavour churning. Ready tomorrow for your pleasure!

Yup! We got pineapple sorbet!

Only fresh fruit, no artificial colours or flavours.

Two out of the three ingredients are locally sourced, the third one I guess comes from KZN 😉

Keep it local and simple, and delicious! 👌
