zero gradi, brunswick east

With sunshine and warmth on the cards, Mamma says it’s the weather for ice cream! Bringing the temperature down from 400 degrees right down to zero. You’ve heard about the best Margarita Pizza in Melbourne from 400 Gradi? This little boutique gelato shop is their sweetest addition.

With an abundance of dairy and non-dairy ice cream Zero have some tastes which you will definitely want to try. Mamma’s top pick, the Gaytime and Baci. Little Miss 8 may have a different opinion and go with a classic like Oreo or Bubblegum.

Zero also have hand-crafted pastries and cakes to choose from too. Whatever you choose this place ticks all of Mamma’s boxes.
