LUST OVER THIS The CBD just got a little sweeter, thanks to the opening of Wonderlust, the latest dessert shop on High Street. It’s the first to bring liquid nitrogen ice cream to the city, along with ‘crazy floss’ and other desserts such as flavoured eclairs, brownies, and more. Wonderlust also gives you the unique experience of your ice cream being made in front of you, with clouds of liquid nitrogen. Come for the ice cream, but stay for the show! Wonderlust’s flavours are ever-changing with combinations that are weird, wonderful, and absolutely worth getting brain freeze for. @wonderlust_nz
