One of the many ice cream stops you can pick from in this quaint shopping center. I stuck with my…read moretraditional chocolate style. Don't think the girl was prepared for this. I ordered their most chocolaty ice cream with a chocolate dip over it. She made a "Whoa!" face when I put in my order. Really good ice cream. Nothing like New Zealand milk, OMG, and I hate milk. But have come of the conclusion, I dislike American milk. By the end of my ice cream, as usual, I had chocolate all over my hands and my face. My husband had to direct me on where to clean my face before we walked along the verge back to our accommodation. Thumbs up, if in the area a must try.

Great ice cream place! They give very generous portions. A kiddie come is what I would consider a…read moresingle, a single is a double, etc. Excellent ice cream. I had the traditional New Zealand "Hokey Pokey" which is vanilla with honeycomb mixed in. New Zealand has the best ice cream!!!

Strawberry Farm was the second stop we went to in Auckland after a long flight, and we were…read morecompletely perked up by the delicious fresh fruit ice cream! I was also excited about the fresh produce, and we picked up a bag of tomatoes to snack on. Good prices and nice assortment of produce. I have periodically craved their strawberry ice cream in the time that has passed and would love to come back!!

They offer fresh strawberry (or frozen from fresh when not in season) ice cream and shakes. You already know your girl had to get BOTH! Super inexpensive and super delicious it's crazy! It's so refreshing! They also offer other fruits and veggies for purchase. Everyone there is friendly and they have an outdoor area for you to sit down and relax as you indulge in your snack! They also have a restroom if needed. This is a MUST stop place whether you're near or far, you'll be happy you made it!

There's not any way around the fact that Duck Island is excellent! It's easily better than many…read moreindependent ice cream establishments I've been to in the US and overseas. What sets Duck Island apart from its competitors in New Zealand is its selection and range of ice cream. Not only does it have many varieties of ice cream but it has a range of options for the more discerning palate, gluten free, sugar free, vegan, etc. This also implies that Duck Island really does care for its customer! There's no doubt that they do. Employees take great care to ensure that customers are treated well and that the establishment is spotless. It's likely the cleanest ice cream parlour I've been to in my life.

Amazing food from the Snapper sandwich to burger, fries, and onion rings!! Highly recommend!read more

We stopped at this place on a whim and it was awesome! Two of my kids said that they had the best…read morefries they ever had in their life. I'm over 40 and have eaten fries all over the world and I would still rank them in my top 3 ever. The double burger that I got was everything I wanted it to be. I shared fish tacos with my wife and they were great too. My only regret is that I didn't get ice cream like my kids. I kept trying to steal bites of theirs. Service was attentive enough. Ambience was perfect for a taco-burger-pizza place attached to a gas station at a little beach town.

Yogurberry is yet another frozen yoghurt chain store that has opened up in Auckland... which now…read moremakes a total of at least four (Yoghurt Story, KiwiYo, Yogoberry are the others I can think of off the top of my head) just in the CBD area?! I went in expecting the same as the fro-yo places I've visited in the past: self-serve yoghurt in a bunch of flavours and similar sugary toppings. The place itself is clean and spacious with some pretty funky décor (all white, wooden benches and wall, and a huge world map printed on the wall). There was a good selection of flavours, with some I hadn't seen elsewhere, like taro. The toppings station was also well stocked and pretty much the typical ones you find at the others - fruit, sprinkles, lollies, cereal, some sauces, popping pearls, mini cookies, and brownie and cheesecake bites. The taro, green tea and peach flavours I got (yes, I went all out) were not bad, but they were a little watered down and artificial tasting. For me, the consistency wasn't that great either, which was icier and less creamy than other froyo establishments. My friend opted for the caramel flavour, which neither of us particularly like, but the toppings (especially the cheesecake pieces) made up for that. Overall, Yogurberry is pretty attractive for its interior design and comfortable seating area, but frozen yoghurt wise, there are probably better choices. Also, there were no sample cups in sight, so it's really a case of take your pick and hope for the best!

Food: 4.7/5 Service 4.8/5…read moreValue: 4.75/5 A wonderful gelato place with an extremely nice staff. After trying a couple flavors, I went with 2 of the best sellers, Pics Peanut Butter Caramel and Coconut Passionfruit. Pics PB Caramel was decadent and rich, pretty forward on the peanut butter, which was perfect for my palette. The Coconut Passionfruit was the perfect balance because it was light, fruity and refreshing; It was very passionfruit forward without much coconut taste. Overall a wonderful combination and a double scoop was plenty for two people. Would strongly recommend after a day of tasting wine!

Good gelato but stingy serving sizes. For the price they could be more generous. Good selection.read more
