Address

1/182 Ponsonby Road, Ponsonby

A handmade ice cream shop that started in Hamilton in 2015 and spread around the country. About 50 flavours from local ingredients rotate through the cabinet, so it's different every visit. In Auckland there are shops in Ponsonby, Britomart, Newmarket and Takapuna. Compared with flashy Giapo, the scoops are bigger and the prices fairer.
