Celcius Icecream Bar, Chatswood

Within the Chatswood Bus Interchange, there are a few unassuming cafes disguised as metal boxes from afar - if it weren't mentioned in online reviews, I would never have noticed these stores.

Amongst these cafes is the Celsius Dessert Bar, which offers liquid nitrogen ice cream:

Is Happiness Really Found Here?
Surely Yes if You Are Barricaded by Lollies!

The few ice cream desserts on offer have quirky names (e.g. Queen of Priscilla, Spotty Dog) so unless you're a regular, you won't have a clue what each of them are - fortunately there are menu boards with their descriptions and pics available. With each ice cream, you get to pick three candies from their vast selection. I ended up choosing a grape cloud, a pink choc ball (meant to be "like a malteser" but not) and a red white-choc freckle:

Big Hero (R: $6.50; L: $7:50) - Rich Ovaltine Malt
Chocolate with Ovaltine Crunch Topped with Chocolate Pariya
Fairy Floss, Celsius Candy and Chocolate Wafer Stick

Personally, I thought the addition of sparse fairy floss on top made it look like the ice cream grew hair (ha!). The lollies weren't of good quality - like the ones you get from discount stores - and definitely there more for the novelty/look factor.

As for the ice cream, the one I was served as not good at all. There was ice particles throughout the ice cream that was either caused by insufficient/inadequate mixing in the stand mixer, or potentially from the mass that the person scooped out of a plastic tub. Overall, I was disappointed by the quality of the ice cream given the price, as well as the fact that the ice cream wasn't made from scratch like at N2 Extreme Gelato in Haymarket.

There was a lack of tables or seating outside the store so I ended up sitting at the seats outside Chatswood Station - not exactly the best view ever but it's better than standing around in a somewhat abandoned bus interchange. This place has potential but didn't cut it for me.
