Flavours for the ice cream include chocolate, mint, vanilla, caramel, coconut, strawberry cheesecake, tiramisu, rum raisin, Turkish delight, caffe latte and even more exotic options. They also offer sorbet, vegan and sugar free options. For the cookies, there are an equally huge variety of flavours.
