Giapo is the gelato Aucklanders queue for. Gelato is churned daily and topped with cones and chocolate made in-house, so a cone can look like a small sculpture. Most reviewers say to try hokey pokey, New Zealand's vanilla with crunchy honeycomb toffee. It moved to a bigger shop and now bakes bread, focaccia and pizza too.
