Jellicoe Park Dairy sits on the corner of Trafalgar and Quadrant Streets in Onehunga, Auckland, and holds a 4.0 rating from 56 reviews, with friendly staff and real fruit ice creams the mentions that come up most often. Customers also note payWave and card payments, and its Lotto shop page marks it as a lottery outlet.
Dairies are a distinctly Kiwi institution — owner-operated corner shops stocking milk, bread, snacks and last-minute essentials, often open for longer hours than anywhere else on the block. Prices run a little above the supermarket's in exchange for the convenience of having things around the corner, which most regulars accept without complaint. Real fruit ice cream — soft serve with frozen berries or fruit folded through it — has become a summer signature of the good ones, and a shop keeper who knows the neighbourhood by name is worth as much as any stock list.
On its Onehunga corner, with the park for a namesake, this dairy fits the friendly, well-stocked mould its reviewers describe.
