I got a huge ice cream, but thankfully I eating so fast so it won’t melt away!Honey pokey is great, chunky crispy cookie is the lighting in ice cream.Another flavor dark chocolate is boring to me. Cone is crispy but hasn’t any special for it. Anyway it’s delicious!

Last went there a few years ago and it was awesome. Went back last night and it was a bit of a let down. The creation kitchen doesn't look great and the toppings on the ice cream were a bit meh. Flavours were ok but no longer the best in townThis cup was $14

This was on our list of must-visit places in NZ, and we are so glad we came! It is without a doubt the most outrageous ice cream shop I have ever been to. The ice cream itself is delicious — we had rich, luscious Creamy Coconut and Buono (caramel, praline, and amaretti) — but what truly sets this place apart are the off the wall creative ideas for how to present the ice cream. We spent big bucks and went whole hog by ordering both the Colossal Squid Cone and the Rescue Heli Cone. Think cone, ice cream, then lots of chocolate dipped coolness on top for fun. We LOVED them.The servers were really great, too. They explained what we would be getting and were great sports about me taking videos of them as they worked.The ice cream melted quickly, and we were both sticky messes by the time we finished them, but it was SO worth it!

I like gelato but this one is too sweet even dark chocolate is sickly sweet. I got topping which is some kind of Nutella and hazelnut though I didn’t ask for it and it just added more sweetness on top of it. 150g in a cup is $13NZD which is way more expensive than a very good one in Sydney. Anyway, I came back to the hotel trying to enjoy it but I couldn’t even finish it. Just too rich and too sweet.

We ordered a cone and long John doughnut ice cream. The ice cream flavors were delicious!! What we disliked was the doughnut, it lacked sweetness and flavor, kinda reminded me of a fried bread with some sugar coating, texture was good just lacked a sweet profile. Also we were unaware that it came with two scoops, so we ended up with two of the same banana bread flavor, although it was good we definitely would have chosen a secondary flavor to suit it.Husband ordered a scoop in a chocolate cone, in which we had to eventually had to throw away bc it was covered in thick amounts of chocolate it wasn't easy to bite.Service was friendly and helpful, allowing customers to sample the flavors. Line may get long, a buzzer is given to you and the wait is an additional 10-15 minutes. There's also ordering in advance, which we should have done but we're already in line at opening and wanted to sample the variety.

You come for big, over indulgent ice cream and you get it. Maybe best to share with someone as it's a lot of sweet but it's delicious.

Yea we all know sugary stuff ain’t healthy but… we all need a treat sometimes yes? And what lovely treats one can get from Giapo. Firstly, the people - so sincere in finding the right flavour for your enjoyment with patient and rather generous samples of all the amazing options they have. Secondly… the combination of gelato resting on a donut… get out of here… I really enjoyed my banana something something on the donut. My companion loved her Christchurch Hazelnut too. This is my perfect treat for a hectic day and I hope it can be for you too.

What a great ,novel and unique experience, it was a real treat. The quality of the ice cream was very good and surprisingly not overly sweet and the serving size geneous. The menu choices can only be describe as novelties, fun for kids and adults alike. Well patronized, and the opportunity to try one not to be missed. The staff impressed as being busy but always happy.
