This ice cream shop comes with a twist, though. Instead of the standard scoop, this ice cream is served in the form of a rose. Don’t forget to ask for melted Nutella inside the cone either! And if it’s not ice cream you’re after? You can choose from a selection of fine macarons and Instagrammable cupcakes. It’s so perfect you won’t want to eat it – well, not until you get the perfect shot!

Great Market Hall
