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

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.

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!

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!

Definitely falls into the category of an expensive sometimes treat…read more I had a fairly small-ish serving of the chocolate flavoured frozen yoghurt, which cost $4. I'd probably prefer to invest my hard-earned dollars in a boring ice cream from a dairy or even (horror) a soft-serve ice cream from McD's. That said, the fun of self-serve fro-yo is just that - it's a moment in which we have leave to regress right back to those all-you-can-eat days at Pizza Hut. You remember, you got all the "pizza, pasta, salad and desserts" you could eat, and the biggest attraction for the kids was of course, the soft serve and the miriad sprinkles. (Is it wrong that I remember that so vividly?). Of course this is a supposedly healthier option (it says low fat remember, not low sugar!), and I have to say I did enjoy my treat. I'll just remember to pull up on the handle a lot earlier next time.

Frozen yoghurt or 'fro-yo' is having an renaissance both in Auckland, and globally at the moment. A…read morefew places have popped up almost overnight and this one, located on busy central Queen Street is one of the most popular. While the orange and green uniforms donned by the staff are more than a little unfortunate the yoghurt itself is pretty good. The prices here are based on weight so while the initial price of $2.99 for a 100gram pottle sounds reasonable, don't do what I did and have a blonde moment while operating the heavy machinery (this is a DIY operation) and overfill it to the point of gluttony. What I initially just wanted as a little hot day mid-afternoon snack could easily have been consumed as a main meal and paying $11.00 for frozen yoghurt really wasn't cool but I have no but myself to blame. My choice of flavour was a mix of plain old vanilla and white choc/macadamia which was nice and fresh and best of all ice-cold. There are a choice of toppings also, so you can go from a more healthy option of fruit such as watermelon or pineapple or really go for gold with shaved chocolate, sweets and chocolate sauce. Whatever floats your boat!

They are happy to let you try a few. I had gelato this time - strawberry, coconut & lavender and espresso & chocolate. They also do 1 litre take home packs of gelato. You know I'm a big fan of that 'other' icecream place, but this is organic, delicious and really fruity, so almost healthy right? Love the painted tables and seating. You'll find Lalele on the right just as you enter Green Gables courtyard. Give it a try...

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.

A grocer it is - you can buy a lot of really good quality fruit and vegetables here. They all come with poems on the stands that talk about not squeezing the nectarines or avocados to death; it's cute. But this place also sells a large range of artisan cheese, fancy crackers and imported items like Belgian chocolate and German Spekulatius biscuits. YUM! The most amazing thing about this place is the prices of the stuff - we were stunned to get a packet of pretty fancy crackers, a wheel of cheese and a massive container of semi-dried tomatoes for less than ten bucks. Eat your heart out, Nosh! This place is so cheap and so good - definitely check it out.

Little nook is to eat the ice cram available if you like, we often take it away because we didn't live far. I will come again and again if I could. 100/100 for this place. LOVE IT.

It's one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it jobbies. Let me tell you though, it's worth driving round the block for... What's cool about The Gelato Workshop is that they make all the ice cream on site - pretty impressive given the size of the shop - and although they've only been open a short time, they seem pretty keen to throw out some interesting flavours. Think along the lines of bubblegum or candy cane and gingerbread for the festive season. On my first visit, I found it near to impossible to choose, but after several tasters, just couldn't go past gingerbread. It tasted so authentic, as though they had just put a coupley wee gingerbread men in a blender? Maybe they did. Regardless, it was off the hook and v.generous for a single scoop. So much so that I had to lick and drive in order to make it to the park down the road without spilling. Looking forward to heading back and trying more flavours. Keep an eye out on their FB page for deets on new flavours!
