Amazing Ice Cream

**Moved to 107 Maunganui Road**
Soo delicious! Each visit I have trouble deciding which flavors to get. Waffle cones are yummy and GF, often sell out so have to get in quick. Love they have take away tubs too, always have a couple in my the freezer.

Delicious ice cream

We came here at Easter time and had the hot cross bun ice cream which was incredible, never tasted anything like it!! I’m pretty sure they had olive oil flavour too… but we weren’t brave enough to try that!

Couldn’t tell it was vegan!

My non-vegan cousins went to check it out first and they reported that they didn’t think they’d have anything for me. Little did they realize that the entire selection was cashew and coconut cream. They couldn’t even tell when they tried it before they realized! Anyway, it was unbelievable. Possibly the best ice cream I’ve ever had (dairy ice creams included). It was so rich, so creamy, so flavorful. And they had real waffle cones that tasted like biscoff cookies! Enough said. I got the matcha and hot cross buns flavors, which were unbelievable.

What I’ve been searching for

Tucked away location near the isite. Delicious vegan ice cream. Have been hunting down mint-choc-chip since moving to NZ 6 months ago and can now die happy. Wasn’t big on the cone to be honest; had a bit of a cinnamon taste to it that I didn’t love. But all of the ice cream flavours looked incredible and am keen to come back and try more!

Pros: Delicious ice cream , Lots of flavours , All vegan

They don't advertise as vegan.

Amazing Vegan Ice Cream

Please open up a shop in Berlin as I loved your Ice Cream so much!
The flavours: Pecan Caramel, Espresso Brownie & Banana Poke were all super delicious
Plus it’s pretty cool to see how your ice cream waffle is freshly made (:

I had the mint chocolate chip and the pecan caramel - absolutely amazing - not too sweet or sickly, and the cone was sooo yum with a bit of spices. Great to have gluten free and vegan treats available!

Amazing vegan and gf ice cream!

We had a really hard time choosing because there were so many choices. We recommend sitting in the outside seating. I had double chocolate and peanut chocolate chip ice cream. Money well spent!

Sooo many choices

Beautiful dairy free ice cream and gluten free cones, what's not to like? When we stopped in there were about 12 core flavors and options for floats etc. The cones made in store are great and I'd happily just eat a stack of those.
A solid must do in the mount.

Pros: All vegan, Flavors and quality , Friendly staff

Oh my gosh, this is what Heaven must be like! So many flavours, it's ok to sample before choosing, and they're all great. White chocolate cookie is the best. Yummy waffle cone, and kids size available.

Pros: All vegan, Excellent variety of flavours , Friendly service

Cons: No 'no-sugar' options

YUM YUM

Amazing ice cream and love that it’s all plant based. Fun flavour choices that change regularly.
Ice cream cookie sandwich is also a delicious treat.
Can seem expensive but is worth it for the yummy treat.

Yumm plant based ice cream

We went there yesterday on a very hot summer day and it was bliss to be able to choose from every single ice cream and sorbet there is.
All of them plant based and beautifully presented.
Had the white peach with mint sorbet. So good.
And lovely service.
Thank you

Fully vegan ice cream bar, incredible!

The cutest wee ice cream bar in the centre of town and it is 100% vegan! Absolutely spoilt for choice - it was fantastic. Lots of interesting flavours and a great variety. Cool to see them using a variety of milks, also (definitely recommend the cashew based ice creams!). There were also a few RSF options which was pretty neat. The ice cream was delicious. Wish I could try every flavour if it weren’t for the covid restrictions.

I will certainly be back!

Pros: Fully vegan and lots of great ice cream flavours , Superb location , Delicious ice cream

Cons: That it isn’t in my home town!

Delicious Ice Cream!

We loved our ice cream from Sea People! My absolute favourite would have to be the Pina Colada/coconut pineapple rum and I loved that they had freshly made vegan (and gf) waffle cones. What a treat!

Pros: Delicious Ice Cream, 100% vegan, Nice Vibe

100% vegan, house made icecream with rfs and gf options too!

The staff are very welcoming, they have rfs, gf and vegan options. Their scoops are large, so the price of a double scoop in a rfs, gf, vegan waffle cone is 100% worth it for the size, taste and texture. YUM!!!

Pros: 100% vegan, Refined sugar free and gluten free options, Friendly staff
