About Girls & Boys Gelato

Brunswick Street’s colorful dessert parlor delivers completely plant-based indulgence without compromise. Counter staff keep spoons ready to sample scoops like cookie butter, peanut, and wattleseed with macadamia. Beyond cups and cones, the kitchen constructs two-flavor sundaes crowned with ribbons of cookie dough, caramel sauce, and crunchy buckwheat crisps. Regulars treat the thick, creamy chocolate thickshakes as full meals on their own, or duck in to grab a takeaway slice of carrot cake layered with cream cheese frosting.

  • 100% Plant-Based Lineup: Everything in the shop is plant-based, spanning gelato, sundaes, thickshakes, and baked goods.
  • Counter Flavor Sampling: Staff offer tastes of rotating scoops at the counter to help narrow down choices before ordering.

  • Wattleseed and Macadamia Ice Cream

    I had the wattleseed and macadamia ice cream. It was a great flavour that wasn’t too sweet.

    I also picked up a slice of carrot cake to eat later and it was so delicious. Cream cheese frosting, soft, moist cake - probably the best carrot cake I've eaten, vegan or not.
