⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re in Southport and don’t stop at Rossi’s for a doughnut, you’re missing out on pure happiness in pastry form! Fresh, fluffy, perfectly sweet, and always made with love! they’re hands down the best doughnuts in town. The kind that make you “just one more” your way through the box. Friendly service, irresistible smell, and a Southport gem you’ll keep coming back to.

Went in there with my partner yesterday , honestly the best decision ever, you could tell all icecreams are homemade what the girl mention to us too! Service was kind, quick and we got talking to the girl there called Paula, telling us about plans they’ve got doing waffles, crepes and shakes, even got complimentary waffles so they can hear our opinion on them! Couldn’t recommend more !

5/5 – Absolutely Fantastic Homemade Ice Cream! I can’t say enough good things about this ice cream shop! Their homemade ice cream is on a completely different level—rich, creamy, and full of real flavor in every bite. You can tell they put genuine care into every batch. They offer a great variety of flavors, from the classics to creative seasonal specials, and each one tastes authentic and freshly made. On top of the amazing quality, the prices are truly unbeatable. It’s rare to find homemade ice cream this good and this affordable. The portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
