What People Say
"This place completely stole my heart."
Reviewers consistently praise the unique and delicious gelato flavours, as well as the friendly and attentive staff.
"Might just be the best ice cream in Auckland. A lot of vegan options too - great for the dairy intolerant. Its not cheap but due to it being real gelato a small double pot was enough for me at $11. Staff were really nice , happy to let us sample away. Highly recommended."
