MADE WITH LOVE IN AUBURN BAY

From chasing the ice cream truck on a hot summer day, to grabbing a scoop after your first soccer game of the season, to having your faces and hands covered in melted chocolate goodness, there is nothing more reminiscent of childhood than indulging in ice cream.

That’s where our fondest memories were built and we are now proud to bring this sense of youthfulness and wonder, as well as exclusive products to the bustling new community of Auburn Bay.

Taking cues from ice cream parlours of the past, XO Ice Cream & Waffles is the modern-day interpretation of the mom-and-pop shop – nostalgic, lighthearted and oh-so-unforgettable! We see XO as a place where new memories will be formed for many generations to come.
