This is a review for the Courtenay Place outlet: The service here was just fantastic. Usually at gelato bars, I feel very shy and guilty about asking to try flavours especially since I will only pick one or maybe even not buy anything. Here, though, the staff member kept giving me flavours to try, without me even asking for specific... More

Best coffee in town, and I can say that, because I am the most fussy person when it comes to coffees. When you pop in, do not forget to try their ice cream, to die for!

This is the best Gelato I have ever tasted - even better than Italy! It is my grand-children's favourite cafe for ice cream! After a busy day of running around, we always ended up at Kaffe Eis for ice cream. I tried many flavours and I dont think I can pick a favourite - they were all good. Staff are... More

I think it's the best ice cream and maybe only in Italy you could get a better one. Such friendly people working there either, it's like visiting friends. Thank you so much...I'll be back

While most people enjoy a cold gelato on a hot summer day, Kaffee Eis offers its delectable treats all year round. Personally I enjoy going out for dinner on Courtenay Place and then having a yummy gelato afterward. Lots of great flavours and the staff are always willing to let you try before you buy. YUM!

This is some of the best gelato I have ever eaten in my life! I go to a Kaffe Eis at least once a week, which is easy because there are over three locations in Wellington. The gelato is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavor and every single employee is friendly and engages you in conversation. I specifically recommend the... More

Whether we are on our own, or with your little granddaughters, we cannot pass Kaffee Eis on Oriental Parade without popping in for an ice cream or coffee. Both delicious. The delight of choosing which flavour of ice cream adds to the joy of the experience. Lovely patient staff who take their time with the little girls, who now love... More

This place is nice place to stop while strolling about the Wellington waterfront. Friendly staff, very good coffee and gelato to keep you going. My choice was the caramel flavour, which went down a treat. Great place to watch the world walk by while you sip on a flat white.

So went here to check out the claim of Wellington's best gelato. Whilst I can't claim to have tried everything in Wellington, this is at the top.

I had always heard about Kaffee Eis, but had never tried it until yesterday. I was not disappointed. The ice cream is devine, and a huge selection at that! A two scoop ice cream is very large, so it's great value for money. I recommend the Bonbon flavour.
