Cafes

Duo Duo Ice Cream

Duo Duo Ice Cream is the highest calibre of the icy stuff here in Sydney, as far as we’re concerned. Having started as a food truck some three years ago, the concept was a win from the get-go. A mobile dessert truck that churned out the likes of sea salt caramel popcorn balls with butterscotch sauce, or pandan and coconut ice-cream scoops topped with a salted coconut glaze and toasted coconut.
