Liquid Nitrogen Ice Creamery Nitro Cow Finds a Permanent Home in Takapuna
Jump the harbour for one of Auckland's creamiest ice cream experiences.
Usually found zipping in and around Auckland's markets, Nitro Cow Gelato isn't always the easiest to pin down. If you've been racking up the miles to satisfy your ice cream and egg waffles cravings, you'll be pleased to know that the ice cream truck now has a permanent home to shift its creamy, smoking creations.
The flagship Nitro Cow store can be found at 1/56 - 60 Hurstmere Road, Takapuna. Like the wheel-bound version, the store uses chemistry to produce one of Auckland's creamiest ice cream experiences. How it works: by using liquid nitrogen Nitro Cow can speed up the freezing process and avoid ice crystals forming in the batch.
Current flavours available as gelato, sorbet and ice cream include: s'mores, peanut butter and mango. All come freshly whipped to order before your very eyes. Pair your scoop with puffy Hong Kong-style egg waffles and a variety of toppings, or go for the ultimate wow factor with the smoke oozing Dragon's Breath — liquid nitrogen-dipped corn puffs.
Find Nitro Cow Gelato at 1/56 - 60 Hurstmere Road, Takapuna. It's open from 11.30am-9pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday and 11.30am-10pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
