The beloved ice-cream makers at The Nice Company have opened their first outlet in the Bo-Kaap, in Rose Street. The Nice Company has produced artisanal ice cream out of the Westlake factory for about 20 years, which is available at local delis and stores across the city.

I know we’ve been a little quiet of late, but we’ve been busy working on something special. Can you guess where? ?

Lloyd Becker, one of the owners, told us that they chose the Bo-Kaap for its vibrant and colourful surroundings and that, as the area is now regarded as a must-see destination for locals and tourists alike, it’s a great spot for small food businesses. He explains: “It is best to explore the Bo-Kaap on foot, as there a lot of small cobbled roads, and we thought an ice cream in hand would be a great combination.”

At the store they’re scooping up a wide range of delicious ice creams, sorbets and frozen yoghurts. All are made with the highest-quality ingredients, and flavours range from the classics – like dark chocolate, vanilla and salted peanut butter – to the experimental, like raspberry and rosewater and apricot cheesecake. There are also plans to expand the offering to include new ice-cream flavours unique to the Bo-Kaap store, baked treats to accompany the ice creams, and proper milkshakes.

Should you not want to walk and eat at the same time, the shop has a small seating area where you can enjoy your ice cream. The Nice Company is open Mondays to Sundays from 10.30am to 6.30pm.
