C9 Chocolate & Gelato Hawthorn

C9 Chocolate & Gelato Hawthorn is a dessert-focused stop in Melbourne built around handcrafted gelato, chocolate and sweet treats. The menu spans more than scoops, with gelato cakes, pastries, frozen yoghurt, cold and hot drinks, and a dedicated dessert range. The website also lists Pup Pops for dogs, giving visitors an option to include their four-legged companions in the outing.

The gelato is presented as the centre of the offering, with C9 describing its approach as a blend of traditional Italian gelato and flavours influenced by its multicultural Australian identity. The brand talks about bold flavours and generous portions, while its broader range includes dessert creations, coffee and hot chocolate, fruit smoothies, acai, bubble gelatea and Tipsy Bliss, its line of spirited desserts. Specific flavour availability is not listed on the Hawthorn page, so it is best to check with the venue before visiting for a particular choice.

For something more substantial than a cone or cup, the site highlights gelato cakes, pastries and C9 desserts. Customer comments published on the website also mention waffles, a chocolate lava cake, dessert platters and coffee, although these should be treated as customer experiences rather than a confirmed current menu. That feedback describes the venue as a local dessert hangout with friendly service and options suited to sharing, making the dessert-platter mention particularly relevant for groups.

C9’s brand story places indulgence alongside wellbeing, describing itself as an Australian-born business interested in inclusive, naturally sweet approaches to dessert. In Hawthorn, it suits anyone looking for an after-dinner treat, a casual catch-up over gelato or a group dessert stop. The venue has a 4.6 Google rating from 152 reviews, offering a strong indication of its local popularity, while the available website information suggests a relaxed, treat-led experience rather than a full meal destination.
