Only Scoop is an ice cream shop at 5A Auckland Street in Picton, Marlborough. It holds a 4.7 Google rating from 110 reviews. Customers mention the cone options, the licorice and banoffee flavours, and dairy-free and gluten-free choices. The website says the ice cream is handmade, flavours change week to week, and fresh doughnuts are made on Saturday mornings from 9am.
Handmade ice cream shops usually rotate their flavours with the season, so a favourite may only be on for a few weeks. Dairy-free and gluten-free options are now common, but texture can vary, so a small taster helps. Cone, cup and waffle cone choices change how much ice cream you get, so ask staff about the size. Shops in busy tourist towns can get very busy when cruise ships or ferries arrive.
It is a sweet stop in the heart of Picton, a short walk from the ferry for those travelling through.
