Welcome to Neighbours Ice Cream – where two lifelong mates from Melbourne's eastern suburbs turned their kitchen bickering into something truly extraordinary. We're not just a couple of blokes slinging scoops; we're passionate creators on a mission to craft ice cream that's not trying to be fancy, not trying to be anything – it's just fing good*. Born and raised right here in the heart of the east, we've poured our love for cooking into every batch, collaborating (and yes, occasionally arguing) like an old married couple until we nailed what we believe is one of the finest ice creams in Australia – and dare we say, the world.

Our Story

It all started with a shared obsession: making food that brings people joy. From humble home experiments to our handmade masterpieces, we've chased that perfect balance of nostalgia and innovation. Think of it as your mum's homemade custard ice cream, but on steroids – creamy, comforting, and packed with a punch that keeps you coming back. What began as late-night kitchen sessions has grown into Neighbours Ice Cream, a love letter to the suburbs that raised us and the community that's embraced us. There's truly a gap in the market for bold, quality scoops, and we're here to fill it with heart, hustle, and a whole lot of flavour.

What Drives Us

At our core, we live by three unbreakable pillars: ingredients, technique, and creativity. We hunt down the freshest, most unique ingredients to build flavours that surprise and delight. Our technique? That's our closely guarded secret – but trust us, it's the magic that makes every scoop sing. And creativity? Oh, that's where the fun really begins. We start with crowd-pleasing classics to win you over, but we're always dreaming up the unexpected: bold, boundary-pushing combinations that big corporations wouldn't dare touch.We love meeting new people – whether it's chatting with you at our eastern suburbs spot or hearing your wild flavour ideas (seriously, hit us up – we thrive on your suggestions). We like trying new things, pushing the envelope with every new creation because standing still just isn't our style. And above all, we have a thirst for excellence, relentlessly refining until every bite hits that sweet spot of perfection. It's not just about ice cream; it's about the joy of discovery, the buzz of connection, and the simple thrill of sharing something handmade with heart.

Why Neighbours?

In a world of mass-produced treats, we're the rebels keeping it real – small-batch, suburb-rooted, and unapologetically obsessed. We're building more than a brand; we're fostering a neighbourhood vibe where everyone feels like family. It doesn't matter if you're a lifelong local or just passing through, if you share a scoop and a story, you're in. As Dom Toretto would say, "It don't matter where you're from – as long as you've got heart, you're family." So, whether you're a local grabbing a cone or a flavour fanatic from afar, come join the journey. Let's scoop up some stories, swap some ideas, and make memories that melt in the best way possible.Got a flavour dream that's been keeping you up at night? We're always open to suggestions – drop us a line and let's make it happen. And we'd love to hear your thoughts on our product too; all feedback is welcome and wanted – we even love a bit of criticism to keep us sharp. ;)

There's two things I love in life just as much as my own flesh and blood – cooking and entrepreneurship. And with Neighbours, I get both, plus the joy of sharing good quality food with the people I care about most. I look forward to getting to know you over the course of our ice cream journey.Neighbours Ice Cream – Because life's too short for boring scoops.
