Jock's Ice Cream & Sorbet

An Albert Park institution since 2001. Just look for the colorful awnings—and the inevitable cluster of bayside sweet-tooths making their regular pilgrimage. This gelateria balances nostalgic Aussie classics with fiercely inventive churns, all boasting that dense, low-overrun silkiness. The undisputed heavyweight? The Hokey Pokey, heavily studded with crisp golden honeycomb. Though anyone serious about their scoops will point you straight to the Obamarama—a divine peanut butter and jam collision—or the hyper-local Pavlova runs. Staff wield the spade with absolute finesse, patiently guiding you through generous pulls of fresh dairy and vibrant, dairy-free sorbets like crisp apple and watermelon. Snag a double cone for the beach stroll. Pure, unfiltered dolce vita with a distinctly Melbourne edge. Pro tip: grab a takeaway tub for the freezer before you leave.
