hockingstuart are on a mission to celebrate everything unique and wonderful about the north, including its amazing restaurants and food offering.
To celebrate the north, we have compiled a list of our top 3 favourite frozen dessert options (not in any order - they are equal favourites!) in wonderful Carlton.
1. Helados Jauja
Location: 254 Lygon Street, Carlton
Phone: 03 9041 2927
Helados Jauja is winning Melbourne over one scoop at a time by serving delicious, authentic and unique artisan ice creams and sorbets - all meticulously handmade using real ingredients. That means no artificial flavouring, colouring, or gelatine.
Our favourites include the Mango sorbet, Durian (strictly for Durian lovers ONLY), Yerba Mate and the Walnut dulce de leche.
Helados Jauja’s ice-cream is all about perfecting the basics. The quality ingredients matched with hard work means the results speak for themselves - texturely perfect ice creams with beautiful flavour combinations. The passion for artistic expression using quality ingredients can be tasted in their ice cream. Each flavour is made with love, dedication and artisanship.

2. Yo-Chi
Location: 194 Faraday Street, Carlton
Phone: 03 9347 7130
Link: http://www.yochi.com.au/
Yo-Chi is a delicious frozen yogurt outlet that has now opened a new store in Carlton. Frozen yogurt has become increasingly popular and it is no surprise why - 98% fat-free with active cultures and probiotics, what’s not to love?
Yo-Chi is all about self-service. All you do is:
- Select the yogurt of your choice and help yourself to as much or as little as you like.
- Head towards the counter where you can top your yogurt with fruit and a variety of other delicious toppings.
- Your yogurt and toppings are weighed and you are charged by weight (it costs $2.90 per 100 grams, regardless of which yogurt or toppings you choose).
You get to choose exactly what goes into your yogurt, which means you can choose your favourite things in the proportions you like – brilliant!
There are more than 22 toppings to choose from, including gorgeous treats like halva, crumble and chocolate-covered goji berries. There are also non-dairy yogurts on offer which are great for those who are lactose-intolerant.

3. Pidapipó
Location: 222 Faraday Street Carlton, Melbourne
Phone: 0422 004 750
Link: http://pidapipo.com/
Pidapipó has a menu which boasts an array of exciting and delicious flavours including traditional flavours such as hazelnut, pistachio (our personal favourite), fior di latte and gianduja; and some other more interesting (and equally delicious) flavours like yuzu and vietnamese mint and pinacolada.
Pidapipó's gelato's amazing texture and taste is testament to the perfectly balanced base that is used to make each flavour.
Each element is meticulously measured, pasteurized on site and left to rest over night. In the cold of the fridge the ingredients bind, creating a distinctively smooth, dense texture. Finally, fresh fruit and raw ingredients are measured with precision to create unity and balance, just before being churned, frozen and served.
