When it comes to vegan-friendly ice-cream and gelato, Melbourne stands out with its innovative plant-based flavors, catering to the diverse preferences of non-dairy dessert enthusiasts. While traditional ice-cream and gelato contain milk and cream, Melbourne’s establishments have risen to the challenge, offering a variety of dairy-free and vegan-friendly options, including unique sorbets like soy sauce, gingerbread, and even Moon Dog beer.
