French Riviera Icecreamery

Looks can be deceiving! My wife and I were meandering down the streets of Double Bay one hot Saturday afternoon and we thought it would be a great time for an ice cream. After looking for a local place we found French Riviera. From the outside it looks like a store from the eighties but we took a chance! And we were so glad we did. The ice cream took me back to my childhood, delicious, well portioned but doesn’t leave a sick aftertaste. I find some of the chain gelato and ice cream places do! On top of this, really well priced and the owner was the cutest guy ever! He may have been the owner but even if he wasn’t his generosity and warmth were evident. I rarely write such long reviews but this was such a fantastic find I had to let the world know. We can’t wait for our next visit to this French Riviera ❤️

I have been coming to this place for many years with my family, and my parents have been coming since over 30 years ago when it opened. The home made ice cream is absolutely delectable. John Paul is always there with smile and he enjoys talking to anyone who visits his shop. Highly recommend this place if you enjoy ice cream.

Sydney is packed with great ice cream and gelato places, but this is definitely one of my favourites! The ice creams here are so yummy, they have flavours like Tim Tam, Mars, hazelnut and lots of other classic flavours (choc, vanilla, mango sorbets etc). And most importantly: the owner is generous and super friendly! This place is legendary!!

Stumbled across this little shop in an alley way, the owner was extremely kind and welcoming. We had asked to try 2 flavours before making a decision and he gave a generous amount. He gave both of us an extra flavour to try with our purchase and gave 2 scoops of each flavour for both of us and it was only $10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND his service was 10/10 and the ice cream was even better !!!

A little bit of nostalgic experience here. Used to go here back in uni days, about 10+ years ago and they were a really great place, buzzing with people and great stacked ice creams. And I remembered that the ice cream was great and delicious. Unfortunately, it wasn't the case nowadays, still good ice cream, but there are plenty of better competitions lately. The owner is still very friendly and energetic. Will still come back for the nostalgic value.
