This place is aesthetically pleasing; lots of white space, painted brick, wood panels, beautiful stained glass windows at the front... some graffiti-style art, and a projection of mainstream music videos playing on the wall. Sure, why not. The staff here are lovely, and allowed us a little taste-test of as many flavours as we wanted. Did I try them all? Yes. Did they fill me up adequately, as the generous testers were shot-glass-sized? Yes. Did I still purchase a whole cup to myself? Duh. The flavours are a little more adventurous than some, with salted caramel, lemon myrtle, and honey being stand-outs. However, the yoghurt here tastes a little sweeter and feels a little more heavy than, say, Frozen By A Thousand Blessings. The toppings are fairly standard - delicious! but standard - and the price is perhaps a little steeper than some, not as steep as somewhere like Cacao Green. This isn't my favourite Fro-Yo place in Melbourne, however upon sharing that opinion with some friends recently, I was all but tarred and feathered and abandoned in the street.

It's a charade I plan on continuing. I can't pretend to really be able to differentiate any of the self-serv fro-yo's across town from one another, and am of the opinion that the bubble's gotta be near bursting point soon (a competitor Camberwell-based place on the Junction has already vanished) but plan to enjoy it while it's still kicking along. Well, I plan to enjoy hers anyway.

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.

It's got that slightly-burnt tang that you only get with the very best honeycomb. It's been an award-winner at the Melbourne show a few times as well, from memory. Because it's tasty. Dang tasty. In fact, the only problem is that there are so many enjoyable flavours they make that the Hokey Pokey doesn't really go with - from seasonal quince to a wide range of sorbets. Thankfully, those aren't your only options. Jocks also do a pretty good line in the traditional flavours - chocolate, vanilla, and the like. Best of all, they're open fairly late for an icecream shop, so there's no problem stopping off early on a wintry evening for a tasty waffle cone. (What? I like winter icecream, okay!)

MATCHA QUEEN- matcha mousse, yuzu cremeux, and pistachio sponge Presentation was beautiful and very appetizing, but sadly the sponge was so dry. The matcha wasn't as earthy as I would've liked, but I could taste matcha flavors. The yuzu added some tartness, but didn't balance the matcha well so it was just 2 distinct flavors that didn't meld well together. TIRAMISU- mascarpone cream, chocolate sponge, and coffee-infused sponge As the other cake, this cake was also too dry. The sponge was too tight and didn't have that fluffy feel. Flavorwise, it was just okay, not the best tiramisu I've had. It was more chocolate than coffee and didn't have that traditional tiramisu flavor I was hoping for. Overall, I wouldn't say I would come back. The cakes were too dry and flavors weren't that great.

I used to include…read morethis cafe in a scavenger hunt for students studying abroad at the University of Mellbourne, so they could sample the amazing hot chocolate. Times have changed.. not just the name. I brought my husband and best friend here to try the spicy hot chocolate. You can choose your spice level, one which the owner used to provide lengthy detailed descriptions on how levels were determined, and chocolate prepared. My husband asked and received a one word answer- pepper. I selected a 7/10. The hot chocolate is still delicious. The shopkeeper was very unfriendly and seemed annoyed at our presence. He gave us our drinks and took a rolling suitcase out of the store for fifteen or twenty minutes. 8 customers stopped in while he was away- two left before he returned, four left when he walked in and met them without smiles or enthusiasm, and 2 ordered drinks. The cafe is located in the heart of the CBD but hIdden down an alleyway. When finished, my friend asked the owner for the bathroom key and he refused. Pro- the hot chocolate is delicious, con- unkind shopkeeper. I won't be back.

Beware, if you are taking a chocolate lover with you someone is going to have a big dent in their pocket. This is not because the prices are expensive, but more so because there is so much goodness in the one store. Example A: When everyone was obsessed with Terry's Chocolate Orange, a box would cost you anywhere between $8-$11. At Sweet as you were looking at between $3 and $5. You can also buy some amazing MnM varieties, Reeces Pieces and other american favourites. I really want to try the new Tabasco Chocolates they have which is made with real Tabasco sauce.

This funny little nut 'n sweet shop seems out of place on Russell Street, but I'm glad I found it!…read more Yummy Sweet & Nut could easily be a stall in one of Melbourne's many markets - they have a huge range of self-serve nuts with some very exotic varieties, and they're significantly cheaper than what you'll pay in the supermarket plus you can control your quantities exactly! I stop off here from time to time to get a bag of pistachios (my favourite in-handbag snack food) and they're always fresh and nicely salted, without too many closed ones. I've also tried a couple of the sweets on offer, but I don't rate them as much. The chocolate on the coated nuts tastes a little stale, or maybe it's just a cheap make. My verdict - good for nuts, not so good for sweets.
