Stuff Travel’s recent article on where to find the best ice creams in New Zealand prompted a flurry of alternative suggestions from readers, in which Island Gelato was named one of the best!
Island Gelato, Auckland
The Pics Peanut Butter Caramel gelato with toffee Brittle is “hands down one of the best” ice creams in the country, one reader claimed. They’re not alone in thinking so – the gelato won gold in the 2022 and 2023 NZ Ice Cream and Gelato Awards.
Founded on Waiheke Island in 2014, Island Gelato offers more than 70 flavours across its five Auckland stores – in Mission Bay, Newmarket, Ponsonby, Waiheke’s Oneroa and the Ferry Building in the CBD. Made in-store daily, other award-winning flavours include dulce de leche, rich chocolate, tamarillo, rhubarb, grapefruit gin and yuzu, feijoa coconut swirl, and espresso martini.
