When iconic chocolate biscuit marries ice-cream its a match made in heaven, forget Brad and Ange this is the perfect union. Creamy chocolate ice-cream with hits of biscuit, think giant chunks of Tim Tam. This place has the best ice-cream in not just Ivanhoe but all of Northeast Melbourne. Yes, I know big call right? But the ice-cream parlour has a fantastic range of flavours filled with quality ingredients. The lemon sorbet tings with rightness...and lemon of course. All the classics are here, gelato and classic ice-cream flavours but also a revolving door of interesting flavours that work. I should reassure you that the Tim Tam flavour is always there.The waffle cones smell amazing and as well as ice-cream cones and tubs you can get drinks( although why you would when there is ice-cream to be had befuddles me.) If one cone of Tim Tam ice-cream isn't enough then get a family size tub to go. You will thank me! Note: Closing hours vary depending on weather. Please call Cosi Duci to find out more.

The name definetly of this place caught my eye while browsing places for lunch. We were greeted…read morewith a smile and headed to a booth. Staff were friendly offering menu's promptly and ensuring we were aware of the specials. The two of us shared a Cheese burger and Pulled Pork burger with a side of fries. The food was delicious with the serving sizes quite generous. They also serve a variety of desserts including ice cream sundae's and cakes/pastries/donuts. Great find on a mid week food adventure!

Moving to the High Street area around the Thornbury / Northcote border, this place originally…read morecaught my eye because of its name. That was back in June and I've only just had the chance to check it out. Not being a fan of eggs or avocado (blasphemy in Melbourne, I know!), I rarely venture out for brunch but with an interstate visitor in town, it was time to test out this awesome sounding cafe down the road! We were lucky enough to arrive when there were a lot of free tables (NOT the case by the time we left!) and chose to sit at one of the booths. After drooling over the menu and specials offering I was left with two options and sought assistance from our waitress. Here I encountered the honesty you don't expect from an employee - she informed me that one of the options I was choosing between was actually quite a large serving and therefore if I wanted to share with my dining companion, that would be enough to satisfy the two of us. However, my friend had her heart set on her own different menu choice so I thanked the waitress for her advice and went with my other choice which was a delicious bagel. As it was, I couldn't even finish half of it and ended up taking the second half home for a late lunch / afternoon snack (and it was still so tasty the second time around). I loved the staff, I loved the food and I loved the coffee. I'll definitely be back!
