The Best Ice Cream And Gelato Shops In Auckland, 2024 Edition
What do you get when you cross one of Auckland's top fine dining chefs and a passion for making gelato? One of Tāmaki's best gelato shops, of course.
Enter Pistackio, the gelato shop with heart—helmed by renowned chef, Juan Balsani and his wife Valentina—which serves artisanal small-batch creations that combine organic milk with carefully curated quality ingredients. Flavourful banana and dulce de leche, peanut butter and jelly, Pavlova and the eponymous piskackio are just some of the flavours you can expect on their rotating list.
But this authentic shop is more than an excellent gelato shop... come by for a coffee, take a delicious cannoli or tiramisu to go or just watch the world go by and strike up a conversation with like-minded people in the comfort of the homely interior. Wholesome goodness doesn't get much better than this.
