Coastal Cones - Pukehina is an ice cream shop at 76 Pukehina Parade, Pukehina 3189, in Western Bay of Plenty, rated 5.0 from 1 review. The one review says the ice cream is probably the best the writer has had and praises the service. A good ice cream shop is judged first on its base: the cream should feel rich rather than icy, and flavours should taste like their ingredients. Small shops often make a few flavours in small batches, so an earlier visit may mean a wider choice. Shops by the coast get busy on warm afternoons and holidays, so a short queue is normal and usually worth the wait. It helps to ask what is made in-house and what is bought in, since that tells you a lot about the quality of the scoop. For people visiting Pukehina, Coastal Cones on Pukehina Parade is a local stop worth making for an ice cream after time by the water.
