The Scoop On Where To Enjoy The Ekka’s Famous Strawberry Icecream

Kuhl-Cher Coffee’s Ekka Strawberry Sundae Waffles.

For well over a decade now, the sale of strawberry icecream at the Ekka has raised a huge amount of money for valuable medical research. The delicious, creamy icecream, made with real fruit, is one of the show’s most iconic treats – it’s one of the things we love best about the show!

With the Ekka cancelled this year, another victim of Covid, how can we manage without our annual treat? Well, the good news is, we don’t have to. There’s a whole list of venues around Brisbane that have put this exquisite icecream on the menu, for a limited time.

Thanks to a resale initiative by medical research charity, The Common Good, Brisbane City Council (via Brisbane Economic Development Agency), and these legendary local businesses, strawberry icecream fans can still get their fix, with the same great Ekka taste.

Some are serving it in the classic format, others have given it their own twist, but whichever you choose, we guarantee you’ll love it. Best of all is that with every bite you take, you know you are helping The Common Good.
