About Jock's Ice Cream & Sorbet

An Albert Park fixture since 2001, this counter churns nostalgic Australian staples and inventive scoops just blocks from the bay. Regulars line up under the awnings for the Hokey Pokey packed with crisp golden honeycomb, or the Obamarama—a salty-sweet collision of peanut butter and jam. Behind the glass, servers offer patient tastes from the spade, talking guests through seasonal Victorian fruit sorbets like crisp apple and watermelon. Cones are built tall for seaside walks, and insulated tubs leave by the armful for home freezers.

  • House Flavours: Rotating scoops span honeycomb-packed Hokey Pokey, Obamarama peanut butter and jam, and specialty liquorice.
  • Guided Sampling: Staff guide guests through unhurried tastings with flavour pairings before scooping.
  • Dairy-Free Sorbets: Refreshing dairy-free scoops highlight seasonal fruits like apple and watermelon.
  • Takeaway Tubs: Multi-scoop takeaway tubs pack easily for the home freezer alongside boxed cones.

    Located along Victoria Avenue near the beach, it serves as the classic walking dessert stop following neighborhood dinners.
