A little hard to find, dex2rose is located in an alleyway near Melbourne central. You seat yourself then order at the counter. If things aren't too busy they'll deliver to your table, otherwise just listen for your name. Unfortunately they weren't serving crepes or waffles when we arrived. We ordered the "death by chocolate" nitrogen ice cream which was topped with a dense fudge brownie. It was uber decadent. We also had the "mist in the woods" which is a hot chocolate set served with rose flavored nitrogen, salted caramel nitrogen Gelato, and marshmallows which you can self roast. Everything was made in house with love. I don't think you can go wrong ordering anything here. Every item is very expensive though. read more

Sometimes an impulsive stop could turn out to be an epic culinary discovery... Such is the case with Dex2rose. Tucked in a quiet alley in Melbourne's walkway, one could easily pass this spot without noticing its presence (just look for the rustic green door and you are at the right place). The interior was quite spacious with dark and industrial vibes, but I guess it's part of their charms. Their menu, however, was creative and presentation was very Instagramable. I had the Matcha Crepe Mille cake with white chocolate gelato. The crepe cakes are made from layers upon layers of velvety paper thin crepes and light cream in between. The cake was heavenly delicious and won my heart on the very first bites! The presentation was also equally orgasmic to the eye - the cake was drizzle generously with green tea ganache, garnished with edible flowers, popcorn crumbles and fresh fruits. YUM~ Truly exceptional and if you are a sweet tooth person, this dessert shop should not be missed! read more

I saw a few pictures on instagram so I bookmarked this place for dessert. After lunch around the area, my sister and I dropped in. Service was very friendly and we got our dishes in a timely manner. CHARCOAL CHOCOLATE CHIP BELGIAN WAFFLE- topped with fresh seasonal berries, rainbow meringues, persian fairy floss, mango sorbet gelato, and edible blooms served with dark chocolate ganache and mixed berry dressing sauce The waffle was fluffy and airy, but not stale. It didn't have any flavor and the charcoal was just for show, but it really stands out and texture was good. The seasonal berries and berry sauce added some sweet and tart flavors to the waffle and the dark chocolate added a rich decadent layer. I really liked the fairy floss, which is cotton candy because it wasn't overwhelming sweet and naturally dissolves in your mouth and the rainbow meringues were sweet and crispy. The mango sorbet was very fruity and refreshing. It was cold and tasted great with the warm waffle. MILK TEA CREPE CAKE- milk tea crepe slice paired with a milk tea pouring sauce and salted caramel gelato This is the best crepe cake I've had. The crepe is thin and very soft and the milk tea has a very aromatic flavor and not overly sweet and complements the salted caramel. The sister and I liked this place; so I'm sure we'll be back to try other items on their menu. Everything was good. The area could be a bit cleaner though. Tables and seating area were a bit messy, but other than that, all was good. read more

Really cool place for weird combinations of ice cream. I went with their signature ice cream "not your typical granny apple pie". You order at the counter. I went there on a Saturday around 5pm and it was quite empty which was nice not to wait for any line. The portion is really big given it's both a cone and a cup. They also had another ice cream that seemed really good which is the chocolate but decided to go with their signature. read more

A friend invited me here while I was visiting Melbourne. Tucked away down a lane off Little Bourke, Dex2rose is super chill, and that's not just a joke because it's a nitrogen gelateria. Milk crates strewn outside the large entrance, with university students occupying most of them, this would be an ideal place for group assignment meet ups that require sustenance of the sweetened kind. Here I was thinking all those times I used 'Nutella-bomb' as my word in a game of Empire, I had created the most unique word combination ever. Recite it here and you'll be getting a cup of delightfully hazel-nutty frozen goodness. If you're after super cool frozen dessert and N2 is a little too 'been there done that', be sure to pop into Dex2rose! read more

Hidden in the laneway, we stumbled into Dex2rose curiously with caution as the name doesn't give much away from afar. Little did we know that it was a place of goodies: Nitrogen Gelato, fresh juices, and super duper cool staff! We ordered the passionfruit cheesecake and oreo gelato and scoffed it down in no time. I really enjoyed the visit and will be bringing more people here soon to sit on the lovely couch or chill outside on the crates on a nice night. read more

This is our place to go for a delightful, naughty treat. The quirky flavours are always different, always slightly weird, and always delicious. I love how they play around with the names and new flavour combinations and experiences. I've tried all kinds of things here over my many visits, but the one I remember best was a peanut butter and jam flavoured gelato. I almost cried when I returned and they'd changed the menu, but because the new menu wasn't great, but because I want to eat PB&J ice cream ALL of the time. So I had a salted caramel and popcorn gelato to help me feel better. It did. Also, also, don't forget the cold press coffee. The concept of creating and serving coffee similar to a beer appeals deeply to my coffee-addicted self. It's also a really interesting, satisfying way to experience coffee. I love everything about Dex2rose, including how hard it is to find (I can never remember exactly which alley it's in until I try each one off Little Bourke) and the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed, and the staff are friendly and fun. read more

Dex2rose Nitrogen Gelato - Salted caramel and popcorn. Yes. Amazing. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

Well this was a surprise! Just a random visit prompted by promises of toasted marshmallows in the middle of winter. This place is the perfect example of the wonders you can find down a random alleyway in Melbourne. We purchased the Hot Chocolate Set and a Mal-Teaser (both pictured). While the gelato was yummy, it was the toasted marshmallows that had us both grinning like little kids. It brought back fond memories! read more

I am so disappointed with Dex2rose. I tried their Thai Milk Tea gelato (without grass jelly) and it does not take like Thai Milk Tea at all. It just tasted like milk and licorice. The "wafer" cracker is like those water crackers you eat cheese with. I had about three spoonfuls and gave up. My friend's salted caramel gelato was way better. Decorated with cute popcorn, it had a nice balance of saltiness and sweetness. Overall for $6.9 for a small scoop I ain't gonna come back for more that's for sure. read more

Randomly came across this place while walking the lane ways of Melbourne. What a happy surprise! I actually thought there was nothing down this lane way because of the random milk crates (thought it was just mess, lol) but I later realised they were sitting areas for people! (I'm not hipster enough unfortunately :P) I had the salted caramel gelato and it was incredible. Cutely adorned with popcorn on the top, it finished off my evening in the best possible way! read more

Let your imagination go wild here - some of the ice cream combos are just out of this world ...they have a really imaginative menu and you can get milkshakes and crepes too! The menu is super user friendly - this is great because you can have any kind of sauce or toppings and the step by step menu makes ordering was easier when you get to the till and have a dozen things to say yes or no to! I had a chocolate milkshake with mixed berries sauce and Oreo soil and cream on top! It was so so delicious and satisfying! read more

Such a creative place to have coffee and dessert. The location is off the main flow of foot traffic, but this location is worth finding. There is a wide array of gelato and coffees. The best gelato has to be the Birthday Cake. Staff are friendly and helpful. This location does not offer table service, however after you order at the counter the staff will bring it out to your table. If you enjoy green tea, try the Matcha Crepe!! read more

Okay so this place is very popular as it was highly rated on Yelp and seems like everyone knew about it as there were heaps of people coming here. It's a bit hidden from the main street but that's what I loved as it was in an alleyway. The menu is very interesting as the whole concept is hand churned ice cream via Nitrogen! They have some great flavors but I went for the Matcha. One of the things that took a star away from this review was that the waffle cones weren't fresh even though I asked if they were made fresh. After I ordered, my sister pointed out a giant box of storebought waffle cones in the corner... read more

Amazing selections of unique desserts. Tried their 'mist in the woods' hot chocolate and I love how interactive and customizable the whole experience was. The charred marshmallow, salted caramel gelato and the raspberry druplets are great when mixed with the hot chocolate. I've also tried the sugar mountain and salted camel. Loving them both and I can't wait to get back to try their other flavours. The Charcoal Chocolate Chip Belgian Waffle is all Instagrammers dream and the aesthetic is just another new level. Delicious and best to be shared (huge portion).Great place to hang out with your friends to chill and dessert. read more

Awesome dessert place, was not disappointed by a recommendation of a friend to come here. Creative, appealing, and tasty desserts, some are a bit on the expensive side however. Loved their signature of Not Your Granny's Apple Pie ($9.95), 10/10 would order again. Portion is perfect for sharing also. If you follow them on Instagram you get $1 off! Location is a bit of a hole in the wall, but casual and comfortable atmosphere with friends or as a date. Would definitely come again and a highlight of my Melbourne food adventures! read more

Surprisingly very good. Location is down a little shady alley but super cool nitrogen ice cream setup. Only think I would like to see is a bigger selection. I got the apple pie gelato... Very good! read more

THAT KAYA GELATO took me back to my childhood so far that I wanted to burst into tears right there and then. So. friggin. good. The flavours were just spot on and the kaya was infused throughout the gelato, it was heaven. The peanut butter syringe was a brilliant touch as well. I also got an iced matcha latte which was extremely lacklustre - hence the 1 points docked off! The seating arrangements weren't great as well. This place is quite hard to find and we had to get directions, so protip: It is NOT on Little Bourke St itself but rather a sidestreets that runs OFF Little Bourke St. read more

Good place to hang out down another Melbourne laneway. Busy crowds happily spill out into the laneway as there are no other nighttime businesses here. Tasty and unusual concoctions. read more

$9.80 for a very average hyped up ice cream. Badly executed ice cream, poorly thought of menu, chaotic floorspace and a lot of yelling of names. This is my second only nitrogen ice cream, of which N2 Exteme Gelato fared much much better. While I will continue to explore all the other nitrogen ice cream bar in the city, I somehow can sense that this one would be the worst out of all. read more

Dex2Rose is one of the very first invite I've got in the early days of blogging. Jesse the owner invited me to re test their gelato cause I did not like my first visit and since then I have been their regular customers. love their kaya gelato read more
