Connoisseur Tub

Connoisseur gelato pistachio is quite possibly the worst I have ever had. I grew up with proper pistachio ice cream from Mowenpick. When you open this it is not a deep green but grey! Grey pistachio ice cream. It barely tastes of pistachio. When you compare it to mowenpicks pistachio content Conniseur is half! that. Tastes awful. The designer of this should be made to eat it all as capital punishment. Show details

Something has changed. My once fav icecream now gives me bad acid reflux pain. 3 times this last month I've treated myself and each time I've been experienced pain. First time I felt terrbly nauseous, hanging over the toilet bowl coupled with extreme discomfort in my upper stomach, but I didn't connect it. Then last night I had a cookies and… Read more

cream on a stick and it happened again - although not as bad. Today, I've just had a salted caramel on a stick and the discomfort started within 30 mins. It's now obvious it's not a coincidence. I shall never purchase this brand again.

Peters "Connoisseur Pistachio Gelato" ; Oh how do I love thee! Thy luscious smoothess, thy delicate flavours, thy appeal to both eye and body are reminiscent of matters of youthful passion best not mentioned in the prescence of minors. In the words of my favourite Sri Lankan, "Do Try It". Show details

New Honeycomb and Australian Honey flavour a winner – The new Honeycomb and Australian Honey flavour is a winner. I think they've nailed it. Takes me back to my childhood when Golden North did amazing honeycomb icecream. That's fifty odd years ago, and I've tasted some really bad ones since, with very fake honeycomb pieces. This is addictive! Show details

Requesting rum and raisin ice cream back – I love their chocolate custard brownies ice cream but I’m very upset why they discontinued rum and raisin ice cream

Used to be my favourite ice cream. Quality has deteriorated lately and my favourite hazelnut and salted caramel is no longer available. It appears many are missing this flavour. Has ownership changed? Are they cutting costs on ingredients? Pity, I was a loyal fan. I’m switching to another brand.

Vanilla flavour. This company has reduced the cream content and now uses more cheap and unhealthy ingredients! Just when you think the public cannot be ripped off more, stuff like this keeps happening. No longer what it used to be. Won’t be buying again. Show details

I saw their new pistachio gelato and grabbed it as a must to try. I love all things pistachio. However boy, was I disappointed. It tastes more like dry milk powder! Hardly any pistachio flavour at all. What a disappointment. Show details

One of my favourite Ice Cream is Connoisseur Cafe Grande 1 litre tub, but nowadays I found very few coated chocolate almonds in it. Just like eating plain ice cream…‍‍need to be reviewed, improved and add more almond in it! Show details

Horrible. Way too sweet and the chocolate is only tiny sand-like grains that give an awful texture. It is going in the bin. The vanilla is 100 times better although also a bit too sweet. Show details

I had the vanilla. It was terrible. Connoisseur used to be decent but now it’s no good. It’s very gummy and you can’t taste vanilla, it’s watery and metallic. Last time for me. Show details

This has been our favourite ice cream, until our purchase last week. It has lost it's unmistakable punchy coffee flavour, and the almonds no longer have a chocolate coating that we could taste. Very disappointing, and we have 2 tubs to get through! When I opened the tub, the consistency was also different, a bit icy. The product was not thawed, straight into the freezer within 10 minutes of purchase, packed with other frozen items. Show details

ice cream was as hard as a rock. Had to defrost it before it could be spooned out. Rang up their customer line and was told someone would contact me. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REPLY! Show details

What happened to the Cointreau swirls & taste? – This used to be my favourite icecream but it has really slipped in the past few years. The coffee flavour is still great, but the Cointreau swirls that made it incredible have become less all the time, to the point where you can't taste or see them anymore. So disappointing. If they're not going to put Cointreau sauce in any more, they should… Read more

delete it from the description. Another example of manufacturers cost cutting but still charging premium prices for something that is no longer a premium product.

Connoisseur cookies and cream – Simply the best Connoisseur icecream, nicer than magnum & maxibone. My favourite ice cream. It's basically chocolate flavoured icecream with cookie pieces. I found a new favourite icecream in the freezer isle.

Cafe non-Grande! – Had been a fan for decades but this brand is a victim of shrinkflation. Id say it has about half the choc almonds you used to get and they are poor quality and very small. The ice cream is not how it used to be. I refuse to pay $12 a tub for this sub par product. So disappointed.

A fall from grace – Used to be great and the only ice cream we would buy. Now is full of junk ingredients and doesn't taste near as good. Will not buy again. Show details

No longer worth it – Used to be good, now it's just fancy packaging with fake premium looks. Nah, it's almost flavourless goop. So fake tasting using cheap ingredients, just like eating sickly sweet binding agents. I keep falling for it on special, never again. Just chucked the tub down the sink, if I'm gonna splurge on ice cream either get the expensive stuff that… Read more

actually delivers or go cheap. Though I personally think Bulla Murray St tastes better and is a similar price

A Fall From Grace – Not even close to being worth their marketed price. These things were an absolute killer 7-10 years ago. Now these are really just a 1L tub of lard and paste. Calling this a "gourmet" product is comically lowbrow. You can get more for less from other brands. Sad to say this will be the last tub I buy. Show details

Changed product to cheaper ingredients – Gah, changed product. It’s all air now. So much lighter, melts quicker, more sugar, less quality chocolate ingredients. Will now be moving brands Show details

Poor ice cream for a supposedly premium product – I bought two tubs today - Vanilla and Caramel Honey Macadamia. I've been eating Connoisseur for years and today was the last time I'll ever buy it. It seems like it's been going downhill step by step but honestly it's now pretty bad. For the vanilla, it is sickly sweet and barely tastes like vanilla. There are no vanilla seeds in it (but I can let… Read more

that slip). The texture is kind of airy and watery, it was not creamy at all. Recently had Murray Street, and THAT is creamy and delicious, at a similar price point. The caramel one was slightly nicer but had a similar consistency.

Happy to get low quality ice cream for a cheap price, but this is supposed to be a premium product. Ten years ago it was, but now it's really no better than a home brand product.

I've given it one star because of the polar opposite between branding (and expectation + price) and the actual product you get.

Changes to the product disappointing – Too many cheap fillers eg peanut paste, cookie dough et al. For the price I expect straight icecream. My favourite is cafe grande. Show details
