carousel ice cream and cake, northcote

Ice cream lovers, rejoice - and even if you’re not big on a cone, Carousel has something for every kind of craving. From refreshing frozen yogurt to smoothie bowls, and acai, this local favourite is serving up way more than just your typical scoop.

A long-standing Victorian staple, Carousel has expanded from Bayswater North to our very own Northcote. You’ll find an incredible selection of creamy gelato and ice cream (including 12 non-dairy flavours!) so expect to spend a few minutes while the kids umm and ahh over their choices.

And it’s not just the ice cream that impresses. The self-serve Fro-Yo and Acai bar is packed with toppings galore - think fruit, choc chips, lollies, and more. Feeling bold? Try a combo like mango and chocolate with a mix of sweet treats on top (trust us - it’s a flavour adventure worth taking!).

What makes Carousel so special? Everything’s made the real way - no shortcuts, no powdered mixes. Just honest-to-goodness ingredients whipped into the creamiest, all-natural frozen yogurt right there on site.

And if you’re celebrating, you have to check out their nostalgic ice cream cakes - the kind that brings back birthday party memories in a flash. Perfect for celebrations, family treats, or a little "just because" moment.

So grab the fam, take a stroll down High Street, and pop into Carousel. Mamma promises you’ll walk out smiling — and probably with a tub (or two) to take home!
