Queenstown wouldn't have been complete without daily visits to Patagonia Chocolates - Ice Creamery & Chocolaterie. Their white chocolate hazelnut ice cream was a true standout, a heavenly blend that kept me coming back. The hot chocolate was another gem, rich and satisfying. The combination of flavors was simply delightful. The staff consistently offered good service, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. The comfortable seating allowed me to savor each moment spent indulging in these exquisite treats. Without a doubt, an exceptional place for anyone with a sweet tooth seeking delightful flavors in Queenstown.
📍Location - Very busy ice-cream shop located centrally just opposite to the jet boat pier. There are always a lot of customers in the shop queueing up not matter it is afternoon or late at night.
🍦Food - Wide variety of dessert options, including ice-cream, ice-cream stick, hot drinks and cakes.
Ice-cream comes with a myriad of flavours, a lot of the flavours had won an award.
👅Taste - Ordered Chocolate and macadamia in a cone. The taste to be very honest is quite average, nothing too special, although the texture is smooth with some macadamia flakes mixed in. My partner ordered hazelnut flavour and lemon sorbet - Hazelnut ice cream taste good but it is a bit too sweet. Lemon sorbet is way too sour for us.
🪑Seating/Ambience - plenty of seating available, both ground floor and second floor. The ground floor can be quite crowded as the queue is always long and full of people.
Second floor provides much more comfortable seating with a peace, calming lake view while enjoying the ice-cream. Toilet is available on second floor and there is a open kitchen to view how the ice cream are made.
💰Price/Value of money - Standard pricing as most of the ice-cream shop. $9 for one scoop of ice-cream in a cone. The size of one scoop is huge.

This is a delightful haven for anyone with a sweet tooth. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
One standout feature is undoubtedly their chai latte – a true gem that sets the bar high for chai enthusiasts. It's easily the best I've had in New Zealand, boasting a perfect blend of spices and a comforting warmth that makes it a must-try.
The star of the show, however, is the ice cream. They craft some of the most amazing ice creams I've ever tasted (as delicious as the ones I tried in Italy).
The friendly staff add to the overall positive experience, always ready with a smile and helpful recommendations. Despite its popularity, the service remains efficient. Given its reputation, it is a bustling hub, drawing in visitors for a well-deserved treat. Despite the crowds, the prices remain surprisingly affordable, making it accessible for both locals and tourists alike (This is actually a good thing considering that everywhere/everything in Queenstown is expensive)
For an added treat, make your way to the second floor. Here, you'll be treated to a beautiful view that elevates the entire experience. It's a perfect spot to savor your treats while taking in the scenic surroundings.
Whether you're a local or a visitor, this sweet spot in Queenstown is a must-visit for a truly indulgent experience.
