Reviews of Penguino Ice Cream Cafe
E.
Truly exceptional experience. Very generous scoops, conversational service about the bountiful variety of flavours, iconic decor and welcoming vibes.
Salted toasted coconut tasted like summer, and watermelon/mint/chili was even better than I remembered it to be!
So cute. So iconic. Great work everyone!
🐧🍦❄️☀️🥥🍉💛
j.
Always good to come back to Nelson, and this is our favourite shop in town! Nice staff and excellent food! Totally recommend
R.
Really cool ice cream shop. Not just the default scoops on a cone or in a cup like every ice cream shop, it has many different menu options. The kids loved their banana split. They were given so many options.
I'm a home ice cream maker myself, and if I'd open a shop it would be like this.
Very friendly staff as well.
G.
Amazing menu of all things ice cream. Highly recommend the shakes.
S.
must try the waffle, fancy and very very very delicious! Will come back tomorrow again.
A.
Friendly staff and some interesting ice cream flavours as well as the classics. High quality and worth a stop! 🍦
J.
Favourite place to stop for ice cream when we are in Nelson, trouble is making a choice from all the tasty flavours! Super friendly service too...highly recommend! ☺
H.
Pleasant and polite staff member. Delicious ice cream. I had a boysenberry & coconut 🥥 scoop on a large waffle cone for $7.50c.
I enjoyed Boysenberry, but, lived the coconut 🥥 ice cream the most! I hope to come back tomorrow if time allows for another coconut one.
Payment avenues: No Google Pay, no Paywave but, they have their account number to make an online payment other than EFTPOS with pin required or cash.
J.
A great place to visit when wanting tasty icecream, and they even do lovely coffees as well, beautiful combination. Fresh inviting and clean decor.
J.
Beautiful waffles and such friendly staff! A real pleasure to have my Sunday brunch in here. Definitely one to visit if you’re in Nelson!
M.
Really really amazing breakfast, the waffles were divine. Very well presented and good value for money. Staff welcomed us with smiles and wishes for a happy new year.
We fully intend to return again tomorrow if time allows for it.
T.
First class quality ingredients and flavours .Nice staff ,very clean premises .
S.
The greatest ice creams of all! Perfect place for ice cream lovers, not only by the scoop but also you can get a tasting platter or a litre or two to go and enjoy at home ♥️
Waffles and a coffee for a rainy day are a must aswell 🥰
N.
Great place for a lovely icecream, a bit pricey but somebody has to pay for all the medals!
T.
The best ice cream in Nelson, love the lavender favour, the watermelon, coconut and the piña colada, wish I was in Nelson for longer to try more of the other flavours too.
D.
Super variety of award winning icecream flavours. A great find on a hot day! Love that they sell yerba 🙂
J.
Really nice ice cream, loads of flavors to choose
G.
Wonderful selections in ice cream flavorings. .. also they make very nice coffee with a free biscuit. Better option than the piece of chocolate given in many places. ... excellent attention from staff and place very clean.
S.
I order 2 scoops on cone. The size is quite small compare with another ice cream shop that I used to go (price is not much different). The top scoop is a bit smaller than the bottom so you should mention staff which flavour is for top and bottom. I ordered lychee and rum&raisin. I try lychee which got awards and Rum&raisin. Both are ok and gentle sweet for me.
R.
Great selection of flavors and very nice. Staff are very friendly and helpful
C.
Great selection - Lavendar and honey an interesting taste. Have a go - surprisingly good.
M.
Yummy home made ice cream. Delicious
C.
The ice cream experience. Always some new award winning yummyness to experience. Buy yourself a multi card, you will not be disappointed.
G.
The Ice Cream here is absolutely amazing and a huge variety of flavors. Anyone with PEANUT allergies this is a must go place, they are peanut free!!! Highly recommended to everyone.
A.
Excellent service from engaged and kind staff. Asked them to pair a flavour with one I'd chosen and it was a great choice. Ice cream is delicious and prices are reasonable, highly recommend.
K.
Nice ice cream but definitely not as good as its fame suggests. Regular chocolate was okish and their black current was a bit in the sour side.
N.
Awesome staff.
Reasonable price.
Great range.
M.
Loved the stroopywaffle-icecream sandwich! ... & happily nibbling the take home pack of stroopies with coffee now
M.
Excellent Ice cream . Friendly staff
M.
The stroopwafel and ice cream sandwich was divine. Stroopwafels are made in house, and the award-winning ice cream had a nice creamy texture, was surprised it wasn't gelato. Very pleasant discovery visiting Nelson.
H.
The ice cream is superb, one of the best ice creams I have tried in New Zealand. The selection of flavours is brilliant, ranging from classic ones to some very modern/gourmet combinations. I will definitely come back here next time I'm visiting Nelson.
A.
Great waffles with heaps of options for toppings!
D.
Absolutely brilliant, nothing but praise for staff
T.
Excellent waffles and home-made ice cream. Even my coffee was very nice. Just go there and treat yourself
D.
It's the best Gelato I've had so far in NZ! Many unconventional flavors like cucumber or lavender, and interesting mixes like watermelon, honey and apple or strawberry and lemon. The owner is very friendly and can recommend you a flavor, in case you cannot decide (so many great ones!).
If in a group, I recommend getting a 1/5 kg box, you can fill it with all the flavors you like.
A.
Really great tasting ice cream. They have original flavours such as ginger and feijoa or watermelon, mint and chilli (both award winning combos). More classic flavours are available too as well as interesting tastes like Marmite. 2 scoops cost $7, which is reasonable and the service is friendly. A quality place to get good ice cream in Nelson!
C.
Very friendly service, they let us taste samples and even mix and match flavours. This place rightly deserves all it's awards. Lovely homemade gelato. You can taste the passion
k.
Amazing vegan sorbet! Apparently the cones are vegan too 😁
K.
Very unique flavors and great gelato but quite expensive. It was rather quiet on a weekday and the staff started vacuuming at 3pm while we were still inside even though they were supposed to close at 6pm.
T.
It's ok. Clean. Ice Cream is just ok, by NZ standards. Good air conditioning. The decor could be updated, bit underwhelming. Good service. Prices are good especially for families.
J.
Yummy Icecream with many flavour varieties. Certainly worth a visit if you like icecream, but go sit outside somewhere, its a bit tacky. I'm also marking down as they use a lot of "throw away" plastic. Would like to see more wood, paper, bamboo and bring your own options
B.
Great Vegan range. Sorbets are delicious! Feijoa sorbet was definitely the best
T.
Had the black cherry icecream, been there many times, trying to fill my welcome back card.
G.
Great variety, and flavours to die for.
N.
I've been around the world and this is literally the best gelato I've ever had. The owner is an enthusiastic artist, glad to talk about his craft and give recommendations. Cucumber gelato was absolutely amazing, as was his watermelon, chilli, and mint sorbet. We tried every flavor, plus some he was working on, and every single one was beyond expectations.
E.
Such a great gelateria!!! Besides all the awards and delicious flavours the owner comes from Argentina which like a New Zealand is a great diary producer and to top it off if great Italian influence, where gelato was created. I have been in Argentina and have to say this place didn't stay behind.
A.
Lavender is the best !!! Super nice staff. Highly recommended!
S.
Good selection of award winning sorbet and ice cream. Very unique flavors like lychee, and the stroopwafel is definitely something to try!
J.
I love this place. So many delicious flavors to choose from and friendly, helpful staff. And they let you taste test a flavour before you buy. Excellent
P.
Kids loved the ice cream
J.
Nice selection of ice creams and their milkshake was really delicious (you choose 3 scoops of ice-cream). Major negative is the fact you have to pay 1 dollar to taste a flavour!!!!
J.
Always a pleasure to eat here and share the place with my loved ones. Ice cream is always to die for
P.
Friendly service, great ice cream and an amazing waffle, the whole family enjoyed it fully. Highly recommended
A.
This has to be the best ice cream parlour in Nelson. A fantastic choice of quality gelato served up by professional and friendly staff. The perfect place for a sweet treat.
L.
Fantastic ice cream and loads of flavours that we hadn't seen before. Well worth a visit.
