Old fashion icecream flavours plus some new ones. A big scoop $6 in a cup. Service was good. Crossed the road and ate looking over the bay. Perfect.

Best Coffee in Paihia, wish i had found it earlier.. The coconut chai latte was perfect, not super sweet like they can be,, and served with a cinnamon stick... My friends espressos were perfect.. We are a fussy bunch lol

Lots of flavours to choose from here (it was a hard decision, but I went with the hazelnut praline). Prices are pretty good for ice cream and it's really nice to go sit and look out over the water as you eat it. If I'm back in Paihia I'll come again and try some other flavours!

What a great place for an ice cream stop on a hot day. Service was great and so was the ice cream!

Best ice cream I’ve had in a long time! This place is a little gem opposite Movenpick... do not be tempted to go there! All flavours looked and sounded delicious. If you want to taste a flavour before you pick, just ask. I went for churro and butterscotch with pecan. Absolutely divine. Would go back in a heartbeat.

The best ice cream we’ve ever had! Visiting Paihia from Australia we stumbled across their ice cream one afternoon and it became a daily requirement while we visited the area. The flavours, the friendliness of the staff and the value for money, Cellinis is a must do if you are visiting Paihia. You won’t regret it Wish we could import their ice cream to Australia!
