About Fluffy Torpedo

Smith Street regulars bypass standard vanilla and head straight for Fluffy Torpedo's unorthodox churns. The freezer case trades in boundary-pushing profiles—buttered baguette, buttermilk pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, and salted chilli pineapple with coconut vinegar. Staff hand over reusable stainless-steel sticks for sampling, taking the gamble out of the stranger combinations. The setup leans fully into the whimsy, anchored by a clear resin floor encasing 200 kilograms of sour-strap lollies. Half of shop profits go straight to effective charities, with the front cases stocking take-home tubs and house-made choc tops.

  • Boundary-Pushing Flavours: Rotating freezer selections feature unconventional profiles like buttered baguette, buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup, and salted chilli pineapple.
  • Zero-Waste Tastings: Sample across the menu using reusable stainless-steel sticks to eliminate single-use tasting trash.
  • 50% Profit Pledge: Pledges 50% of store profits directly to effective charities, including The Life You Can Save.
  • Sour-Strap Flooring: Custom shop design features 200 kilograms of colourful sour-strap lollies hand-laid beneath clear resin.

Why Fluffy Torpedo Stands Out

From boundary-pushing flavour combinations and candy-embedded floors to purpose-driven scoops, explore why Fitzroy's wildly creative dessert lab is an unmissable destination—plan your visit today.

  • Fearless Flavour Innovation

    Fluffy Torpedo approaches gelato like an experimental culinary lab, churning daring flavour concepts like buttered baguette and salted chilli pineapple into silky, scoopable reality.

    Come and try their zany flavours before the world catches on and makes them “normal”.

  • Whimsical Candy-Floor Atmosphere

    The shop pairs its imaginative menu with an equally playful aesthetic, featuring a one-of-a-kind floor hand-laid with 200 kilograms of sour-strap lollies sealed under clear resin.

    So inspired and creative and fun on every level from the ceiling to the floor (made of sour straps) and every thing in between.

  • 50% Profit Pledge to Effective Charity

    Indulgence pairs directly with ethical giving, as the shop donates 50% of its profits to effective charities like The Life You Can Save.

  • Zero-Waste Stainless Tasting Spoons

    Sustainability is built right into the tasting ritual, substituting single-use rubbish with reusable stainless steel spoons for sampling bold flavours.

    i like that they serve stainless steel stick for taste test (less rubbish).

  • The Quintessential Post-Dinner Finish

    Positioned in the heart of Smith Street, it serves as the ultimate high-energy, late-night finale to wrap up dinner outings and casual evenings.

    it’s the perfect dessert to end any meal, or enjoy any time, any day.

  • Orange Juice with Olive Oil

    The gelato is super creamy with really fun and interesting flavor combinations that taste amazing every time. My favourites are salted liquorice and real orange juice with olive oil.

  • Buttered Baguette

    I had salted custard and buttered baguette and they were both SO good!

  • Buttermilk Pancakes with Maple Syrup

    The pancake flavour was very good; it tasted just like pancake batter with maple syrup and was not too sweet.

  • Salted Chilli Pineapple

    Salted chilli pineapple with coconut... WHAT. AN. ICE CREAM! They are not messing about with the chilli... Brilliantly creative menu.

  • Sample Before You Commit

    Take full advantage of the counter service: staff provide reusable stainless steel tasting sticks so you can test unconventional flavours before locking in your order.

  • Check Plaques for Sold-Out Batches

    Glance at the embroidered linen menu on the wall as you step inside; flipped, upside-down plaques indicate that a small-batch flavour is temporarily sold out.

  • Navigating Dietary Needs

    Vegan scoops and gluten-free cones are clearly labelled on the board, though diners with severe allergies should be mindful of cross-contamination risks in a shared scoop setup.
