NOW UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP!
Gareth and Sarah Eddy are now proudly at the helm of this 122-year-old institution, taking on the guardianship of a much-loved tradition while keeping everything that made Ice Cream Charlie, well… Ice Cream Charlie.
​
The original old-fashioned vanilla ice cream you know and love hasn’t changed. What has changed is the accessibility.
​
Ice Cream Charlie is now open seven days a week, giving you more excuses to duck into the city for that famous cone or sundae. And yes — there’s more. We’ve opened a second site in Kaiapoi, tucked into the block of shops behind McDonald’s, near the old Kaiapoi Woolworths, between the SPCA Op Shop and Phone Cloud. If you don't know where, pop 77 Hilton Street, Kaiapoi into your GPS and you should be well on your way to tracking us down.
​
For summer, we’ve also extended our hours! Both sites are open daily from 9am to 9pm until 28 February. Early risers, night owls, and everyone in between — we’ve got you covered. Please remember to check our social stories, as the Victoria Square van may close early in cases of genuinely terrible weather.
​
So come say hello and rediscover the original Ice Cream Charlie — the same nostalgic flavour, now easier than ever to enjoy.
THICKSHAKES
Our thickshakes have quietly stolen the spotlight for some Charlie fans. We hear things like “I’ve never had a thickshake that tasted this good” — often from the same people who are back again the next day.
​
Available in Charlie Raspberry, Charlie Vanilla, Chocolate, Spearmint, Banana, Caramel, and Strawberry.

FLAVOUR OF THE MONTH
Caramel
​
Caramel topping is a new one to our range since our new ownership as it's one of Gareth's favourites. The buttery richness of the caramel is downright delicious.
