The Gelato Workshop Howick is an ice cream shop at 12 Moore Street in Howick, Auckland, rated 4.9 from 273 Google reviews. Reviewers single out rich flavours such as Nutella Fudge Brownie, Ferrero Rocher and coconut mango, along with fresh, made-to-order waffles.
Good gelato differs from ordinary ice cream: it is churned with far less air and more milk than cream, then served slightly warmer, which is why the flavour comes through so intensely straight from the cabinet. Well-run gelaterias work in small batches, so the line-up shifts and popular flavours can run out by evening. Regulars tend to ask what was churned that day, and most shops will give you a taste on a paddle before you commit — worth doing when torn between a familiar favourite and something new.
In Howick village, this Moore Street shop puts all of that into a cup, a cone or a warm golden waffle.
