OK, so you should go once. It's a bit special, and if you're in Auckland, you might as well try it. I can't give it a high rating though - the flavours are good, but there are better, the experience amounts to a tasting, then an interesting arrangement of ice-cream that you'll make a mess of yourself eating, and pay more than average for. I think the idea is good and it's fun as a one-time thing, instagram food kind of thing, but that's only really worth it once. If you buy one of the big sculptures, bring friends or you'll make yourself sick trying to eat it. It really is more about the look than the flavour I'm afraid. Most of the time I'd be happier with a regular waffle cone at a regular price.
