The Big Berry is an ice cream shop at 37 McShane Rd in Appleby, in the Tasman district, with a Google rating of 4.4.
A good ice cream shop makes its flavours taste of what they are meant to be: real fruit in the berry flavours, proper vanilla, and a smooth, creamy texture with no icy crystals. If you are choosing a shop, ask to taste before you commit, and look at the range, since a short list of well-made flavours is often better than a long one. Regulars know that fruit-based ice creams and sorbets suit hot days, while richer flavours such as chocolate or caramel work well in a cone or with a waffle. Ice cream melts quickly in summer sun, so eat it soon, ask for a cup if you are walking with children, and bring napkins. Tell staff about allergies, as milk, nuts, gluten and egg are common in ice cream and toppings. The Tasman region's fruit-growing country suits a berry and ice cream stop on a drive.
For people around Appleby and Tasman, The Big Berry on McShane Rd is a well-rated local stop for ice cream.
