Luther's Scoops — Restaurant in Melbourne

One of the best ice creams in Melbourne! Ice cream isn’t a default dessert of mine but Luther’s has become an immediate ‘YES’ anytime. The ice-cream is rich and flavourful. The flavours are bold in a “I’m here and this is who I am” kind of way. You’re not going to get your typical flavours and you’re going to see some clever creativity with raspberry choc chip, malt chocolate, vanilla custard, passionfruit and lemon custard, brown butter cheesecake - this place is the opposite of ordinary. If you’re looking for plain chocolate and plain vanilla kind of flavours, this isn’t your place. If you’re looking for rich and interesting, yet comforting too (like with banoffee or butterscotch ripple) then make a bee line here.

We’ve tried nearly every flavour. Their earl grey is amazing. Think French earl grey intensity and fragrance (in the taste, not smell - you’ll know what I mean if you have sensitive tastebuds). However it’s got chocolate in there which gives it more texture than taste. I don’t mind it as the earl grey is simply divine.

The banoffee is packed full of unctuous lashings of the “offee” and crisp crust. If you like banoffee, you’ll go weak at the knees.

The chocolate malt is delicious. Rich yet malty. Even my four year old can recognise the malt.

The vanilla custard is my personal go to. It’s so full of vanilla pod seeds - you know you’re eating quality.

I could go on but I think you get the point. Go to Luther’s, you must.

On location, we’ve been to their Brunswick and Thornbury stores. Brunswick has outdoor benches but it’s tight. Thornbury has indoor benches no tables. This isn’t a place to come and sit and hang out. But the ice-cream…. Yum.

Ps: if you’re comparing to a Messina or Seven Apples of Biancolatte etc, it definitely is up there. It’s hard to compare to Messina as they’ve got such a huge range, but on quality, I’d say Luther’s...

ORDERED: 🍦 Earl Grey Chocolate in a cup ($6.00)

REVIEW: 👀 Giving you an opportunity to try before you buy, Luther’s Scoops has some unique flavours that you’ll want to take advantage of. I tried the earl chocolate, and it was hard for me to pass up. Earl grey as a flavour has a slightly fruity citrus taste that makes it a recognisable and a distinct tea flavour. Combined with chocolate (I never thought I’d enjoy chocolate and fruit) I appreciated the crunch. 🍫

Although it’s a small store, the yellow retro outfit, handwritten/hand drawn elements makes it feel like your local ice cream store. 💛 Friendly staff, she advised that the brown butter cheesecake is the cold favourite with Earl Grey chocolate coming second. Wasn’t a big fan of the wooden spoons which does impact a weird cardboard taste that I find to distort the flavour a little. I’m just picky like...

Hey ice cream lovers! 🍦 Just discovered Luther's Scoops, and wow - this isn't your average ice cream shop! These folks are all about REAL ingredients. My daughter went crazy for their fig leaf flavor (who knew that could be delicious?), and my son was totally won over by their creamy vanilla custard (actual vanilla seeds!) What makes them special? They're using locally sourced ingredients and putting ACTUAL flavor pieces in their scoops. That passionfruit lemon was like biting into fresh fruit - so refreshing on a hot day. You can totally taste the difference when a place cares about quality. *8vD Their constantly changing menu means there's always something new to try. It's not just ice cream, it's a local food experience that supports Melbourne producers. Definitely worth a special trip. Your taste buds will...
