We can't think of a much better way to celebrate Melbourne's recent serve of balmy weather, than with a few generous scoops of gelato. Except, of course, with a few generous scoops of free gelato.
Dolce House has already won plenty of hearts in Melbourne's southeast —where its McKinnon dessert bar has long been slinging top-notch gelato, shakes, waffles and other decadent sweet treats — but now the team's venturing north, opening a second spot in Moonee Ponds.
And it's celebrating with a big, tasty giveaway, doling out a whopping 500 free scoops from 5–7pm, on Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27 (250 each day). To score your free scoop, simply follow the neon blue ice cream cone down Mount Alexander Road — then decide between signature chocolate, vanilla gelato or a dairy-free blood orange sorbet.
For the rest of opening week at Dolce House's new store, you'll find a selection of milkshakes, thickshakes, gelato and desserts, with the full range to follow soon after (including New York-style baked cheesecakes, brownies and tarts).
