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.

When it's hot, this place is one of the busiest places in Knox. It's seriously such a great little…read moreshop, with an enormous range of tasty, tasty icecream, gelato, sorbet and frozen yoghurt. There's like half a dozen different chocolate varieties alone. Guess what? THEY'RE ALL AWESOME! I usually grab a cup with three flavours. My favourite combination at the moment is Choc Therapy, Hazelnut Roche and Pokey Pokey. The sorbets are a very healthy dessert option too. If you're nearby on a really hot day, make sure you cool down here. I always do, and I'm always much happier afterwards.

This place is probably the closest to proper Italian Gelato that I have found outside of Italy…read more There are plenty of flavours, and the flavours of the gelato tastes real (for example the pistachio actually tastes like it cont aims pistachios, and not just essence and green colouring). It can get pretty busy, but it is worth it, especially in the heat. They tend to be pretty generous with their scoop sizes.

I will follow Messina, follow him wherever he may go!! Sydney, Melbourne... I'm there!…read more Is a review even necessary? The Messina name precedes its reputation. This household name conjures thoughts of creamy, silky, chunky swirls n mixes of textured, sweet sweet goodness. Flavours to please every palate whether you're more into the fruity or a chocoholic! Always consider the specials menu first before you go for the standard.. They're special cause they're special! Otherwise my staples are the salted caramel & the traditional simple yet oh so so soooo satisfying banana split. Mmmm mmmmm!!

If you want delicious ice cream that comes in crazy amazing flavours then this is the place. Gelato…read moreMessina is hip and cool so it's not cheap ice cream but they do know how to make it taste dam good so it's worth paying a little extra for. Always have a look at their specials board as they have interesting flavours that aren't always on offer- had the piña colada last time and it was mind blowing! I love simple flavours like lemon sorbets which they do really well, but their mixed flavours are awesome too. It can get super busy some nights so be prepared to wait a little and they only take cash!

The lemon curd was superb with a nice balance of tang. The berry tart and cannoli were probably the only let downs but the pear tart was awesome. Arguably it could be just a matter of taste bud preference.

I got the chorizo egg danish (heated up) and it was amazing--perfectly flaky-- and a cappucino. The seating area is very open and spacious! Definitely worth stopping by.

Filled with…read morepasta (a cheap filler, I guess) and a minimal amount of spinach and cheese, these were tasteless and stodgy - not something I'd want to eat again. Super-disappointed. Service was grumpy and curt, but was prepared to overlook that if the food was good. Sadly, it's a big miss on both counts. Avoid.

I made the mistake of living around the corner from this bakery for 2 years. I say mistake, because it definitely was for my waistline! They have a huge range of cakes, slices, hot food, bread. And everything is great. Apart from the pasties, the vanilla slices are great, with nice crispy flakey pastry, and the dounuts are fresh and soft and obviously made daily. This bakery is everything a bakery should be.

Though everything was healthy-tasting, it was average in flavour. The raw cacao mint slice tastes very toothpaste like and the tiramisu just tastes like coconut oil. Hmm.
