Movenpick Takapuna has the notable advantage of being open when I feel like ice cream. Unfortunately this means I often buy ice cream there.

Hmmmmm, I think I’ve been spoilt by a certain ice cream place in upper Queen Street. I can remember being more than happy with a scoop of Movenpick, but now I want drama and all the trimmings. I have to pay extra for toppings? No way, at $ 6.20 a plain, unadorned scoop, I’m already in too deep.

In my other Movenpick review I mentioned that they seem to always locate themselves perfectly to entice you in. This Takapuna branch is a pretty good case in point. It’s on Hurstmere Road just above Hurstmere Green — right smack between the mall and the beach among all Taka’s other restuarants. So whether it’s an ice cream during/​after a beach day, or a late night dessert, it’s perfectly located. That said, the Takapuna Beach café is a longer walk from the centre of Takapuna, but the ice cream is orders of magnitude better — there’s just more flavours and it’s just more creative. Movenpick by contrast is a chain so it’s boring and ludicrously overpriced, owing to its faux-​Swissness. At the same time, the Mint Choc Chip and Maple Walnut are still pretty good — can’t resist it sometimes!

Sometimes you just can’t beat a lusciously rich and deliciously hedonistic ice cream hit, even if it will leave your wallet feeling considerably lighter.
Movenpick ice cream is pretty darn good. I love the caramelita flavour, especially in a waffle cone with caramel sauce on the top and a sprinkling of nuts — YUM! But in saying that, I think some of our local icecreameries are just as good if not better, so if you’re feeling patriotic maybe give the Swiss a miss and head to a kiwi ice cream shop instead.
It’s definitely a treat and not something I queue for — if the line is out the door I head somewhere else. Great for a date night, and if you’re not much of a sweet tooth then maybe best to share :)

Delicious but pricey. But lets face it, if you eat ice cream so often that a few more dollars per cone actually matters, you are probably eating ice cream to often. Great location, eating ice cream on the beach — the classic cheesy date. After sampling this very good ice cream in Takapuna, I went and bought myself a tub of it at the supermarket. It was not even nearly as good as the actual Movenpick store. There really seems to be no good reason why this would be. Is ice cream the kind of thing that is better when it is fresh? I wouldn’t think so considering that it is frozen. So yeah, while I would recommend the Takapuna store, the supermarket version was much more average.

I have a Swiss partner and even he agrees, Movepick ice cream just isn’t that good. We have some home-​grown kiwi stuff that’s honestly way better and has greater variety, Kapiti! I just find Movenpick ice cream too sickly sweet, even their sorbets which are supposed to be refreshing. I love ice cream but I feel ill before I can even finish a Movenpick ice cream. I don’t think it’s actually thaaaat expensive because the scoops they give you are huge, I just think it is super over rated.

Ok, so, I do really love ice cream. And I appreciate how much better fancy ice cream place like Movenpick are than the standard dairy options. But I gotta tell, ya, Movenpick just doesn’t do it for me.
It’s way overpriced yes, but I usually don’t care of it’s amazing. This just isn’t. The only flavours i really enjoy are Maple Walnut and Mint choc chip. But i;ve had betetr Maple Walnut out of a tub, and the Mint one has a strong almost bitter aftertaste that stops me from loving it.
The sauces are of the very cheap variety and the nuts and what not are a bit soft. Plus, they cost more.
The location of this and the Lower Albert Street store are great though because you can take your ice cream for a stroll slong the respective waterfronts.
It’s not that bad, it’s just definitely not my number one. And maybe it just seems worse because its expensive.

$ 6.50 for an ice cream cone Movenpick? Really? Well, you are delicious, so OK then, but just this once.
I do love Movenpick ice cream and the idea of being able to buy a single serving appeals, as if I bought a tub at the supermarket I would probably eat it all in one go. But I do think $ 6.50 for a single scoop is a little excessive, considering sauce, cream, nuts etc are all added extras.
The little seating area overlooking the park is a nice added bonus though, as is the proximity to the beach.

If you are after an ice cream experience to blow your mind, then you have found the place where dreams come true and unicorns really do exist. Being a newly converted Movenpick aficionado, I have tried nearly all the flavours, the mint chocolate and caramelita being my favourites by far, especially having the latter smothered in caramel sauce and nuts! There are hot desserts available too. I have tried many sticky date puddings in my time and I would have to say the one here is by far one of the best I have ever tried.
What sets this store apart though is the service, the manager David is always on hand for a smile and a chat and really knows his stuff. When I was last in I saw a little girl drop her ice cream cone outside on the hot concrete, and David quickly scooped her up another one on the house. It is definately staff doing little things like that, that are truly impressive!

Though I am from Europe, I had never heard of Movenpick until I came to live in Auckland. It’s Swiss apparently and is rich, gourmet ice cream and is probably the best you can get in New Zealand. There’s about five shops and we generally go the one in Parnell or Mission Bay. The maple walnut flavour is as good as it sounds and the straitticella (not sure if I spelt it right but it’s the one with shards of dark chocolate running through it) is also very good. Make sure you go for the waffle cone and get a drizzle of the caramel sauce. Try see it as a treat and not worry about your waistline! You can also get the said flavours among others in the supermarket. It’s dearer than some of it’s competitors in the freezer but you can often get it reduced. They also serve coffee and very rich deserts in their shops. If you’re taking a long stroll in Mission Bay, this is a great place to stop and have an ice cream.
