THE VERDICT
If you’re the kind of person who likes a generous dose of awesome with your ice cream, then Giapo is the place for you. There’s no trace of rainbow sprinkles or magic shell at this Gore Street joint. Giapo, the gelato making whizz behind the store, is responsible for the ridiculously epic looking (and tasting) creations.
Dishing up some of the freshest gelato in Auckland, this ice cream comes garnished with homemade goodies— blow-torched marshmallow, caramelised apples and Afghan bikkies, to name a few. There’s usually a bit of a wait, but the lovely Giapo ladies will keep the rumbling tums at bay with hot chocolate shots and brownies.

Ada Restaurant
Travelling across the busy Auckland strip of Great North Road, you’d easily drive past if you didn’t know about this dreamy food haven. The ex-convent, tucked away in Grey Lynn, has since been converted into a beautiful boutique hotel with a sun-lit bistro called Ada. Having changed hands a couple of years ago, Aaron and Fran of rockstar hospitality fame (with projects across Tāmaki such as St. Marg’s, Pie Rollas, Major Tom, Hello Friends + Allies, Winona Forever, Just Like Martha, Rude Boy, and Friday I’m In Love to name a few) reimagined Ada with modern Māori twists to our culinary scene thanks to the beautiful kai from Chef Kia Kanuta and the team. For those who knew about that squid ink spaghetti with paua cream (and a rēwana fry bread mop)—you’d already know Ada is a pretty magical place.
