Yelp Review 2023 #292:…read more I first had gelato from Gelato Messina while visiting Melbourne. We had a Gelato Messina in Vegas for a hot minute then, it went out of business for some odd reason (they were always busy). They have classic flavors: chocolate, gianduja, hazelnut, cookies and cream, coffee, Hokey Pokey, dulce de leche, chocolate mint, bounty, pistachio, rum raisin, boysenberry, salted caramel, vanilla, and tiramisu. Their sorbets are vegan: mango, strawberry, coconut and mango, passionfruit, coconut Pandan, raspberry, lemon, blood orange, and chocolate. My favorites: gianduja, hazelnut, and pistachio. They have specials that change every week. The specials are quite interesting. The flavors could have potato chips, pretzels, Nutella, nuts, fruit, marshmallows, some sort of cookie, etc. You can get 1 scoop or however many scoops you want. They have cups or cones. You can get your gelato in cake form. My favorite is the mushroom one. What I've noticed is the layout of the store is pretty much standard no matter what location you go to. You can get merchandise like shirts, mugs, aprons, and stuff.

The coconut sorbet was too icy/not rich enough for our taste, but the salted cameral could hold it's own against some of the best in Melbourne. We also really liked the mint chocolate chip. Their standard cones have more of a waffle cone-esque flavour and texture, which I really enjoyed. Single scoop is $5 or 2 for $7. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

We travelled throughout Italy and literally ate gelato every single day. Does this make me an…read moreexpert? No. Does this make me want to find something comparable if I'm not in Italy? Yes! This place seems to have a very good reputation and it was recommended to us by a local friend. I really enjoyed the pistachio. It tasted like it was roasted. My husband asked for strachiatella. It turned out they just call it "chocolate chip". I found it was just a tad too sweet. He thought it was very good. $5.80 for a single flavour, $6.80 for two, and $8.80 for 3. It was a tad on the expensive side, but I'm Canadian and this is Australia. It's pretty normal pricing here. I would definitely come back and try other flavours.

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.

Choosing three flavours - difficult. Choosing just two flavours - stressful. Choosing just one - cruel.

We ate at Vegie Bar last weekend and afterwards decided to drop into their dessert shop, Girls &…read moreBoys, just next door. The owners of Vegie Bar opened Girls & Boys last month to satisfy the ever-growing demand for all things vegan on Brunswick St, and I'm sure glad they did. One of the great things about Girls & Boys is that they have a window there for take-away Vegie Bar food. Yes, that's right, you can now get Vegie Bar food to go -- no more waiting endlessly for a table, no more surly hipster waiters, no more practically sitting in your neighbor's lap as you crane to reach your plate -- just the good ol' Vegie Bar food you know and love in a fraction of the time and to be eaten in the comfort of your own home. (Or wherever.) Just pop in to Girls & Boys and go to the Vegie Bar takeaway window to your left. But let's talk about the Girls & Boys desserts, as this place is primarily a dessert shop. They have a variety of gorgeous, artfully created desserts -- puddings and little cakes and tarts and things like that -- that rival the likes of Brunetti (but without the cruelty of eggs and dairy!) A lot of them are also gluten-free or free from refined sugar. I will add there's not a HUGE amount of selection, but what they do have is beautiful. Personally, I was in the mood for gelato so I sampled the blood orange gelato (yum) but ended up going with chocolate hazelnut because it's hard to find vegan chocolate hazelnut gelato in this world! (probably a good thing for my waistline). While it wasn't the most amazing gelato on the planet, it was really really good, tasted exactly like a dairy chocolate hazelnut gelato would, and I would happily order it again. They also do soft-serve (including choc-tops!), smoothies (some healthier than others), and coffee (including your usual trendy stuff like turmeric and matcha lattes). They offer the whole variety of non-dairy milks for your coffees, including macadamia nut milk, which is unusual and pretty cool. The place doesn't really have any seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go kind of place. Service was friendly. Price is reasonable -- along the lines of other speciality dessert-type places. Even if you're not vegan, this is a great place to go if you have a dairy or gluten allergy, and a great place to get fancy little cakes and things for those special treat-yourself occasions as well. But even if you have ZERO dietary restrictions, this place is worth a visit -- don't miss it.

The mint chip was the clear winner- swaying over even the omnivorous kids. The adults happily finished off everything else.
