'The Dubai chocolate flavour is really popular, as well as Oreo and Biscoff.'
Antonio is originally from Sicily. His heritage shines through in his new business.
He said: 'Because I'm Italian, we also have gelatos. This comes straight from Italy.'
Since opening, YoGood has become a local favourite for its unique flavours and fun twists like 'FroYo ice cream spaghetti.'
Whilst at YoGood I tried out a large cup of frozen yogurt topped with Ferrero Rocher a wafer and chocolate sauce.
It was everything I needed and more on an extremely out of character hot Welsh day!

I would definitely recommend this for chocoholics.
This came to a total of £5.95
My friend on scene also grabbed a Vanilla milkshake topped with mango sorbet sauce.
She said the mango sorbet and vanilla milkshake was 'really refreshing' and was nice if you enjoy fruit style desserts.
This was priced at £4.95.

Small business owner 'gutted' as vandals target shop
Small business owner 'gutted' as vandals target shop A Welsh business owner faces being hundreds of pounds out of pocket after finding his shop 'smashed in' A Newport-based business found itself the target of a vandal (Image: Jay's Barbers ) An independent barber has been left counting the cost after his shop window was smashed in with a brick in a targeted act of vandalism. Jamie Cork, owner of Jay's Barbers in Newport, arrived at his shop on Saturday, July 5, to find the front window shattered and a brick left inside. The small business has been running for just over a year, without any previous issues. "I have never had any problems at all, so it caught me off guard," Jamie shared. "Since this has happened, I have been made aware that another business has had similar problems and it has been said on social media that some homes have been targeted in the area too." Jamie had closed the shop as usual at 6pm on Friday, July 4. When returning for his shift at 8am the following day, he discovered the damage. "My cousin had picked me up as I was cutting his hair. We drove past and I noticed that the window was smashed in. "I was just gutted," he said. "It's a small business and I work alone - it's just not something you expect to turn up to." Never miss a Newport story by subscribing to our newsletter here Article continues below He added that the window had played a key role in promoting the business. "I don't have a sign above the shop, so the window displayed all my details - the name, logo, contact, Instagram - and was a way to welcome people in. I've been leaving my window open now, just to show people that I am open." The cost of the damage, in addition to having the window boarded up, is estimated at hundreds of pounds. Despite the incident, the shop remains open for business as police investigate. The damage to the window, in addition to the temporary board will likely cost Jamie hundreds of pounds (Image: Jay's Barbers ) Article continues below A spokesperson for Gwent Police, said: "We had a call on 5 July reporting criminal damage where a window had been smashed. It happened sometime between 6pm on 4 July and 8am on 5 July.

Welsh language conference to take place in Cardiff
The conference, taking place in Cardiff on July 8, is focused on promoting the Welsh language in the workplace and is jointly organised by the Welsh language commissioner and the National Centre for Learning Welsh. Osian Llywelyn, deputy Welsh language commissioner, said: "In our five-year strategic plan we have identified the development of the Welsh language in the workplace as one of our three priority areas. "We see this as an area that could make a significant difference to the usage of the Welsh language and make it a natural language for day-to-day use in organisations across Wales. "As we look ahead to the coming years, it is more important than ever that organisations put the Welsh language at the heart of their plans." The event, held at Cardiff City Stadium, will feature speakers from across the public and private sectors. Dona Lewis, chief executive of the National Centre for Learning Welsh, said: "The centre specialises in language learning and acquisition, and has seen huge growth in the numbers of people learning Welsh. "One of the centre's strategic priorities is to support employers to increase the use of Welsh, and it does this through its Work Welsh/Cymraeg Gwaith programme, which was established in 2018." Manon Humphreys of Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales, one of the speakers at the event, said she 'very much welcomed the opportunity to contribute' and hoped it would lead to 'new partnerships or opportunities.'

Controversial 'tourist tax' gets green light in historic first for Wales
Staying overnight in Wales will get a little more expensive from 2027 after the country's new visitor levy – dubbed a tourist tax – was green-lighted. The levy is the first local tax for more than 500 years to have been designed and legislated in Wales. In two years time, anyone staying in hotels or Airbnbs will have £1.30 per night added to the cost of their stays – plus VAT in many cases. People overnighting in hostels and on campsite pitches will pay 80p per night. The earliest the levy can be introduced will be in April 2027. With Plaid Cymru's support for the Bill, it was voted through with 37 Senedd Members in support, 13 against and no abstentions. The Welsh Conservatives immediately vowed to scrap the tax if the party wins the 2026 Senedd election. They warned an unlimited levy premium could be added by councils, further inflating costs. In the Senedd today (Tuesday, July 8), North Wales Tory MS Sam Rowlands said the tax was 'bad for Wales and bad for the Welsh tourism sector'. His party was accused by finance secretary Mark Drakeford of trying to 'catastrophise this very modest measure'. 'You really would think that nobody would ever travel to a holiday destination in Wales again,' he told the meeting. Join the North Wales Live Whatsapp community now Noting that visitor levies were now common worldwide, the minister added. 'Our research tells us unequivocally that the revenue generated has significantly contributed to environmental protection, the enhancement of facilities and infrastructure, the preservation of natural beauty, while supporting the visitor economy – all without deterring tourism. We want the same for Wales.' The plans have been changed slightly since they were first announced following calls to exempt children and young people. The revised plan, now agreed, is for all under-18-year-olds to be exempt from the lower tier accommodation – campsites, hostels and outdoors centres. This has resulted in higher prices for others (up from £1.25 and 75p respectively). The cost is still 'less than a sausage roll', Mr Drakeford has insisted. Officials hope the tax will raise up to £33m-a-year to improve tourist destinations – but that's only if all local authorities in Wales choose to implement the levy. Already there are signs some will baulk at the idea: in South Wales, Swansea, Newport, Caerphilly, Vale of Glamorgan and Rhondda Cynon Taf have no current plans to introduce the tax, while Pembrokeshire won't consider it until after the 2027 council elections. In North Wales, Wrexham Council's leader has vowed to fight its implementation. Cllr Mark Pritchard told the Telegraph the idea was 'foolish' at a time when so many Brits were struggling. Since the Hollywood takeover of Wrexham AFC in 2021, the city has seen a 20% year-on-year rise in tourism visits. Most councils are waiting to see the final legislation and say that any decisions will depend on public consultations. Only Cardiff has said it plans to forge ahead, expecting to raise around £3.5m-£4m a year, while Anglesey (Ynys Môn) has said it is 'supportive of the principle'. Cyngor Gwynedd is also expected to levy the extra charge. Despite a negative economic impact assessment, there is strong support for the levy in communities worst affected by tourism. In high season locals must grapple with clogged roads, full car parks, erosion and mounds of litter. The impact on housing is another major bone of contention. The Act also establishes a register of visitor accommodation providers in Wales – this will provide data to support future tourism development. It will also inform 'subsequent phases for regulating visitor accommodation', said Mr Drakeford.
