Review of Giapo Gelato

Really cool experience. I went a couple times duri...

Really cool experience. I went a couple times during my stay in Auckland just to try a few of the different flavours (with full decoration).

You can taste-test a lot of the flavours. Some are a little strange (one of them tastes like pepper/capsicum) but all were very good! If you do two scoops (two flavours), you can choose which flavour you want to have the decoration for.

A little "expensive" but you need to consider that you're getting great quality ice cream (not just generic store-bought stuff), it's made-to-order, prepared nicely, and well-decorated.

Only downfall is that I think it would be a better restaurant experience (on a plate/larger bowl) than a to-go/take-away experience. Some of the ice cream / decorations overflow the cup / cone a bit, making it a little challenging to enjoy before it melts - particularly when you may explode your chocolate dome a little while trying to break it. Alternatively (if Giapo, you're reading this), have bigger bowls with a little more space?

They're right downtown, a great location.

Very delicious and worth trying! I love hokey pokey, as always.
