Melbourne Was Just Named the No. 1 Food Destination
"An adventurous ice cream shop famous for its wacky, unconventional flavors—most notably a vegemite-flavored option—and for pairing playful creativity with community-mindedness through generous charity donations. It’s known as a local spot where novelty and civic giving intersect." - Acacia Gabriel

The flavor profiles you can experience here go from typical to pretty wacky! I love that you can try as many flavors as you like—no one wants to buy a couple of scoops on a whim just to be disappointed. There are vegan flavors as well for those who have a no cow ice cream policy. Highly recommend visiting this place even in the winter!

Insanely good icecream with such cool flavours!
I had salted custard and buttered baguette and they were both SO good!
You’re allowed to taste the icecream too so can also recommend the orange and poppyseed cake batter and miso white chocolate!

That's silly I found this place late one night. I went in we ordered buttermilk pancakes and marshmallow flavour. The marshmallow flavour was way too strong for me but the babe I was with loved it. On the other hand the understated subtlety of maturity of my own ice cream flavour - the buttermilk pancakes- was superb. If only everyone could appreciate and ice cream flavour like this. This place won't appeal to everyone, only the most sophisticated palates I suppose, but what a great addition to this suburb. I'm also really happy with the charity that they support which is the life you Can save. And I like that this place has a connection to Peter Singer.

Personally, this place doesn’t suit my ice cream tastes. However, the idea behind it is awesome and quite intriguing. The flavours I would recommend include the lemon lime and bitters.

Loved the gelato here! The flavors are so unique — I tried cinnamon and white chocolate, and they were all creamy, rich, and not too sweet. The shop is cute, cozy, and perfect for a quick treat. Definitely coming back for more!”

Oh my god, this place is amazing. I taste-tested the Marshmallow + grape jelly (amazing), as well as the Tawny Port + Prunes + Butter. I wasn’t expecting to like the latter that much but it was amazing… So I got a 3 scoop cup with the tawny port, the chocolate mud cake, and the saffron + cardamom + condensed milk + rosewater.
All were divine and I can’t stop thinking about wanting more 😂 Can’t wait to come back!

This place is extremely unique from their flavours to the aesthetic. Personally these flavours didnt suit what I liked but I completely understand why others would enjoy this place. The first second I walked in I immediately felt shocked by the smell. It smelt like vinegar and tablets from a pharmacy. The workers look scared me a bit considering their heavy makeup and depressed look. The IVE cream on the other hand has extremely unique flavours like Vegemite white chocolate and lettuce. We order a three scoop eith a green flavour mint chocolate and salter caramel with Oreo. The best flavour is my opinion was the salted caramel with Oreo. It is also advertised that 50% of the profits made goes towards a charity which is definitely the best part of the small business

Another interesting find in Melbourne.
Lots of different and interesting combinations of flavours.
I wasn't feeling too adventurous and went for 2 scoops. Buttermilk pancake and maple syrup and Krispy creme.
The flavours were on point, and i can still taste the pancake batter. Krispy creme was just like the Donught.
Ice cream was really creamy and worth a try.
Next time, I will ask for a taste and try something different.
