This ice cream bar had such a good selection of gelato and sorbets my wife and I went here every day that we stayed in Port Douglas. The service was good and prices were very reasonable. Personal favourite was the pistachio, walking distance from all the good restaurants means it can provide an alternative for a late night desert.

We stopped off here for a naughty treat. I highly recommend the coconut and lime sorbet. The sorbet was very refreshing and tasty. The service was quick and good value, a good find!

Fantastic Italian-type gelato. Friendly staff. Great range of interesting flavours, including gluten-free and dairy-free. Cute bandicoots in the garden, too. A little further to walk towards the beach, but the reward is well worth it.

I was dreaming of the toasted coconut from a trip to Port Douglas in 2007! Well it is still on the menu AND it was as good as I remembered. I go to many ice cream places and this is up there with the best of them!

Good collection of flavours, especially fresh sorbets. Great for grabbing a cone and wandering down to Four Mile Beach.

Four sorbet options for the dairy intolerant; the mango is amazingly good. The ice cream is sweet, creamy, and flavoursome. Cannot walk past this place without a purchase!

Love this place, after a long day at work it is nice to come and get a lemon sorbet shake or anything else. I think I am a regular as the lady behind the counter knows what I want, she is very nice and lovely and friendly. I went to the Wicked Ice cream shop as Shakes was on holiday... More

Pannacotta and caramel gelato. Enough said. Ok I have to say a little more since there is a 100 character minimum. It was really really good.

Popped in for ice cream late one night: good, fun range of flavors, ice cream tasted excellent. There are many ice cream vendors on Macrossan, all were really pretty good, we felt Shakes was the best.
