Auckland’s Best Ice Cream Shops And Gelato Joints To Tick Off Your List
I scream, you scream... well, you know how it goes. Whether it's fresh and fruity or rich and chocolatey, in a cone, on a stick or in a cup, we just can't get enough of the cold stuff. So without further ado, here's our pick of the coolest (yes, we did just do that) ice cream and gelato shops in Auckland.

Island Gelato Co.
Auckland CBD, Newmarket, Mission Bay, Ponsonby and Waiheke
Any spot with the words 'award-winning' attached has gotta be good—enter Island Gelato Co., the esteemed scoop shop that started life on Waiheke back in 2014 and has since spawned stores in the CBD, Newmarket, Ponsonby and Mission Bay. Whether you like your gelato laced with Pic's peanut butter, marshmallows and berries, or even gin, grapefruit and yuzu—there's a scoop (or ten) here with your name on it. P.S. Don't forget to check out their jaw-dropping gelato cakes for your next special occasion.
Hawte
Auckland CBD
For the naughtiest ice creams on the block, head on over to Hawte. Located in Chancery Square, this funky spot is the country's first boozy ice cream parlour (or 'barlour') and is home to a changing array of cheeky flavours including mango and Malibu, strawberry and champagne, and rum and raisin (all minus the hangover, we might add). And while booze is certainly the star of the show here, they also have a range of non-alcoholic options on offer, along with some rather insane milkshakes.
