Penguino Ice Cream is a gelato shop on Clyde Road in Nelson, rated 4.6 from 349 reviews, known for its rotating selection of flavours and vegan options. A quality gelato shop succeeds on two things: the integrity of its ingredients and the discipline to change flavours regularly rather than coast on a standard range. Good gelato is denser and more intense than mass-produced ice cream, which means the base matters—imported Italian ingredients signal seriousness about that foundation. The best gelato shops treat their rotating menu as part of the appeal, giving regulars a reason to return; a static menu suggests indifference. Offering genuine vegan and dairy-free options shows a shop understands its whole community, not just a default customer. Penguino keeps its gelato and sorbet selection rotating, featuring flavours like lavender and stroopwafel alongside classics.
