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.
*still serving goody gumdrop and cookies and cream*. Are you looking for an ice cream cone but don't want to get ripped off? Well I have the right place for you! Head on down to Rob Roy Dairy where they will always be there to help you out and give you your dairy fix! Many different ice cream flavours to choose from, aswell as 1 scoop of ice cream is 2 scoops and 2 scoops is 4 scoops! They also have their shop part which is also quite packed! *Edit* I stand by this review, still the best ice cream scoops in town.
shoutout to the workers, they give you so much ice cream 🙌🏼🙌🏼
We were looking for real fruit ice cream in Dunedin and found it here. Fast and friendly service.
So many things to choose from! The frozen yogurt fruit pulp cup is soo good (I had the apricot flavour). Staff were really friendly^^
Awesome place and amazing ice cream. Mint choc chip, glorious!
Very friendly and a very well presented, clean and tidy shop.
Get your ice cream and other sweet stuff here to make your day better!
Pro tip: Get tip top if you just want to have ice cream, get Kapiti if you want some premium sweet stuff!
Might be a little bias because I used to work here but it’s still the best spot in Dunedin for an ice cream 🍦🍦 love sneaking in for those late night cravings 🥰
Huge icecreams. Lots of flavours to choose from.
Nice selection of ice creams, and they all were pretty tasty as well. They have a cookie dough ice cream advertised but they don't let you but scoops of it which was rather odd. Lastly, when you get to check out there's a sign that it's cash only. This would have been good information to know up front, as I never carry cash on my person. Had to borrow money from a family member.
Staff seemed rushed, but overall a pleasant experience.
Rob Roy’s Ice cream parlour inside the shop has great quality and highly flavoured Ice creams. Usually there are queue of students and other people waiting for their turns to grab their choice of Sugar Rush treats.
It’s worth the wait if you are not rushed to go anywhere.
Always find young, happy and cheeky shop assistants behind the counters to service ice creams
Great GetGo place for ice cream stop Over at hot and bright Summer days in Dunedin !
Start with the learner, the ice-cream portions are really big - excellent value for money.
