Up northside for my haircut after ages and ICE CREAM SOCIAL IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED??!?!?!!!!!!! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐๐ I see from insta it's for serious health reasons, totally understandable but... I miss being able to treat myself to a drop dead delicious slice of pie when I'm in this side of town. Their baked goods were truly sublime
This is a good opportunity for a rave choon.. such a Tragedy
If you're ever on Sydney Rd, Fluffy Tornado has opened and their range of gourmet ice creams they make onsite is superb. They have a vegan menu and a usual one, but they're all weird interesting flavours (not so weird, but I go a lemon tart pastry ice cream and it has actual bits of lemon tart in it).
Just confirming... it's Fluffy Torpedo right? (Google autocorrection)
Lol yeah Fluffy Torpedo. I couldn't remember and was too lazy to look it up. But yep, Fluffy Torpedo on Sydney Rd.
Did you go??
Nope I did look it up though, to talk to my wife about going. Will let you know if we do.
Tbh I only ever went to Ice Cream Social for the pies and cakes not the ice creams hahaha
Ah damn, yeah they don't do that. :(
Taking any recommendations for places that do nice indulgent pie slices though ๐ if you know of any
Gloria's, The Good Baker, Choukette - off the top of my head, all on Sydney Road.
Gloria's is a little vegan/veggo/usual cafe, and they bake all their delicious desserts, cakes, pies, etc on site. Owned by a couple they are both so very happy to adjust any menu pieces.
Choukette is a French bakery/cafe that has a range of hot and cold pastries and desserts. Beautiful decor and vibe, lovely baristas and owners.
The Good Baker has opened just recently but I have enjoyed everything I've had so far. Range of hot and cold pastries and desserts and bread, all made on site, and coffee of course.
Edit to add:
A1 Bakery is further up Sydney Rd, but they are a Lebanese/Middle Eastern bakery, I think they generally do savoury pastry items and bakery goods. Large venue, so plenty of places to sit, but tends to very busy because they are so fkn good ๐คค
Wild Life Bakery tends to be more bread and cheese, but they also do some nice baked goods as well. I think they are off Lygon St, but there is a Superette on Sydney Rd iirc.
Thanks for the extensive recs! I usually head more northeast (high st) when I'm north but I'm overdue a good Sydney Rd stroll
My eye just caught A1 bakery and I second that place. There's one in Fairfield and it's best if you just want to grab some food.
They do a nutella bagel as well which is really nice
