Rob Roy Dairy - North End New Zealand

We’ve been stopping by Rob Roy for ice cream once every couple of years over the past 15 years. On our most recent visit, it was great to see nothing had changed: service is fast and friendly, portions are very generous and prices continue to be very reasonable. Yes, there is a gourmet ice cream place a further 50m down the street, but it will also cost you twice as much. In my mind, these are two separate markets which suit a different mood and budget. Sometimes you just want to shove a lot of nostalgic ice cream in your face, and for that Rob Roy can’t be beat.

The best value and quality ice creams, the staff are really friendly. Location is great, just on the corner of the block. all round great place

Stopped by a few times during my stay in Dunedin. They have a range of different desserts from scooped ice creams (Tip Top or Kapiti) to more interesting ones like real fruit ice creams and waffles. The menu is located behind the counter along the entire wall. Lots of options and they are all quite tasty. Friends quite liked the peanut butter deluxe cup but I was partial to the cookie time pie. A must if you have a sweet tooth. They also are a dairy and have common things like pies and sweets. It is located a bit away from the octagon but worth the sugar rush.

Every Dunedin native will tell you that this is THE place to go for ice creams in Dunedin. Its excellent large sizes really make it stand out from the rest! They also have gluten free waffle cones for an extra $1 which is a rare pleasure. Besides the size, they also have a great range of regular ice creams including sorbet, and a kapiti range, cookie dough range, and real fruit ice creams. There is certainly something for everyone. I ordered berry sorbet and mango lassi and this is what a SINGLE cone looks like!

Great icecreams. Long wait. Staff very busy, no time for a sincere smile. Pity.
