Black Panther 1,581 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 So after about 10 days she was craving ice cream. Plus we needed a few grocery items. So we went to a popular spot on waiheke that had a four square and an ice cream shop. We got the groceries and wandered to the ice cream shop. $5.50 for a single scoop about the size of a billiard ball.( At ripples a scoop is more like softball size) I couldn't do it. We went back to the grocery store and got 1 litre for $8. Sat on a park bench with two spoons and pigged out. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wild violet 38 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Its a nationwide problem i bought 4 tip top ice creams in riverton last week cost 20 bucks,wont get caught twice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muzled 140 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Call into the store at Kuaotunu if you're ever passing and want a value for money icecream. Their version of one scoop is far from your average one scoop (at a grand cost $2) and generally more than enough for the most people. If you're brave try the Kuaotunu Killer for $6.50. I've never tried one but I'd be 99% sure I wouldn't finish it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I tried to order a large ice cream at Kuaotunu last summer. Lady serving talked me out of it, said it was too big. She was right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deep Purple 511 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I tried to order a large ice cream at Kuaotunu last summer. Lady serving talked me out of it, said it was too big. She was right. It is physically impossible to eat a double ice cream at Ktown on a summers day We’ve sat there and watched people try and by half way through its running all over them and they are looking for the bin and paper towels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,581 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 So where else can we get to an ice cream by sail boat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AlastairW 15 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The dairy in the main street in Port Chalmers. Not only do they do big ice creams, they have the best dollar mixtures ever! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ptown 14 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Wasn't out boating but had the day at Whatipu beach, which is a bloody magical place. Coming back through Huia and got a kiddy cone which was two big scoops of TipTop (couldn't finish it, it was big) for $2! Legendary! Go the wops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 197 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Gourmet icecream at Takapuna kiosk. Vanilla Honeycomb with big chunks of homemade hokey pokey. Delicious! $5 single scoop, but the serving is huge - so more like a double. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eruptn 95 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 You can still get a very healthy (size) $2 one at Pokeno, the original Ice Cream store ..... the biggest problem is getting car park ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
