I had high hopes but this Yo-art wasn't up to the standard I had experienced at the city store. The topping selection was mostly packet candy and wasn't neatly presented. Nothing appealed to us so I went sans-topping. The froyo itself wasn't mind blowing, and for the price ($8.50 for a regular portion that I shared) I was expecting higher quality. The mango flavour tasted very fake which was disappointing as I had assumed that they would use natural ingredients given the high price they are charging.

If you've ever visited the Yo-Chi store in Balaclava you'll kind of know what to expect:…read more- Fine scandi furniture - Helpful staff - A super fresh toppings bar that is kept immaculately clean - Lines that increase as the mercury rises higher - Creamy fro-yo in interesting flavours (chai anyone?) - Expensive prices that will feel like extortion the first time, but you'll willingly pay the next time. Visit the new Carlton store and add in: - More indoor and outdoor seating - More flavours (licorice!) - More ways to make the lines faster (hello SECOND toppings bar and cashier) - More enjoyment These guys are dominating the fro-yo experience in Melbourne if you ask me. There's a constant stream of customers visiting on a more frequent basis because they've taken a great model and made it even easier to access. I'll be needing to exercise all my restraint to not be here every day.

Flavours span the classics (coconut, strawberry) to the unusual (backlava anyone?) and they're all rather good. The texture of the gelati here isn't as creamy as others you will find about Melbourne, but for a local option that's not owned by a massive chain, I think it's great!

Little gelato gem. Flavours changes daily,if you follow…read morethem in Instagram you can take a sneak peek on the flavours on offer that day. Some are great, and most of them are amazing. Creative and unique flavour combo with real taste. Some of my favourite include Old Salty, sour cherry and coconut, pumpkin pie and their fruit gelati. They also have vegan options. It's a small place with no seating, grab gelato for your walk home or get a take home pack. My only complaint is that service can be a bit indifferent. Not a lot of smile or chat and if you ask too much about the flavours the young lady may look at you like you are illiterate. Not that they need to impress as locals already love the gelato and there's always a good line here, but I still think a bit of extra friendliness is not a bad thing.

I tried the white strawberry chocolate and the meringue. The servings are generous. But I didn't like the texture. Maybe it was a bad batch? The highlight for me was seeing my foodie dreams come true with Nutella and dark chocolate on tap. The dark chocolate hardens, just like Ice Magic. The scoops were towering over my little cone making it a challenge to eat before it melted all over my hands while the heater was blazing inside.

I had a unquenchable hankering for chocolate last night and after a few complimentary tastings, I went for chocolate, creme brulee and strawberry in a cup (three flavours = seven clams). The strawberry was MIND-BLOWING and easily the standout of the three. Alos, I must say, they have done a helluva job on the fitout. It is slick, shiny and almost futuristic in appearance. Behind the gelato bar are beautifully laid out cones and wafers in glass boxes and two chocolate fountains (yes you read correctly. Chocolate fountains.) It certainly has wow factor. Each serve comes with a wafer and the option to have it covered in white or dark chocolate from the fountains, which then goes hard. Yes! Like Ice Magic! Sure. It doesn't have the chunky bits or crazy flavours we've come to know and love at Messina, but for top notch gelati that will quench your sweet tooth, Zero Gradi ticks the boxes.

It was pretty funny when I took a look on their website and saw a picture of an enthusiastic…read moresmiling woman... then recalling the not-so-enthusiastic guy who just seemed bored. I really like how you can choose up to 3 flavours for a cup. One thing I do have to applaud Trampoline Gelato for is its variety so it makes it easy to try out different flavours. I ordered: Banana, Pokey Pokey (honeycomb and butterscotch), and Creme Caramel. All of it was okay, but there was nothing really special and out of the ordinary about it. There are better gelato places around Melbourne, but this definitely does make for a fine recommended option if you are in the Brunswick area. NOTES: ~ There is very limited seating. They have a bar-like seating area with few chairs and some outside seating but that is about it. So, I don't recommend coming here for a large group and planning on staying. Overall, I would have absolutely no problem with coming here again, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to find this place or have a massive craving.

Mainly because I was a religious…read moreCharmaine's ice cream lover that used to be directly across the road, which now longer exists - now they had the creamiest chocolate chilli ever. Anyway, Trampoline is now there and has run off all the competition with their brightly coloured signs and street stools, pastel clad staff and offensive choice of radio station (I'm not going to get into that here). Now I'm not an old fuddy dudy who hates change, and only likes things the way they used to be - far from it. It's just that this store's style doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, but I am an uncle and my young niece likes bright colours and ice cream. So I stepped across the threshold and entered the brightest dark side I've ever been to. I tried the Hazelnut and to be fair, it was pretty yummy, not as creamy as Charmaine's, or maybe that's just me being biased. The bad radio was there and the offensive bright colours and my niece loved every minute of it.

There was one night when the Uber Eats driver said he "spilled" my dessert and had to cancel my order, which I was so upset about, so I had to re-order from there the second time. The coffee (like any coffee in Australia) was amazing. I came for the pavlova at every chance I got, and they did not fail to make us a perfectly crafted pavlova every time. My daughter got their macha cake and was loving that as well. I was in New Zealand a few weeks prior and was told that pavlova is a dessert that New Zealand also claimed to be its own, but I only found it in one place, in donut form. Once I got to Australia, I was able to get pavlova everywhere, but this place has it down to a science. The ice cream, cream toppings, and fruits that go with it were all perfectly made well together.
