Yep, a 14 year old Jed & a horsefloat cart in 2015
Our gelato & sorbet obsession began as a school boy's fundraising idea
Kia Ora! Hi ya!
Once upon a time, after the Christchurch earthquakes, a young Jed (A.K.A. the waffle cone kid) decided to sell gelato to raise funds for a school trip.
“Now this is a fun idea to raise the money!”
He planned a cart that was self-sufficient as the earthquakes had wiped out the central city’s water, power supply and ice cream makers. He made friends with a Wellington organic gelato maker and then found the perfect spot to park up and scoop from. From that Rollickin Gelato was born and has become one of the best things to come out of the Christchurch earthquakes.
Love ya Christchurch!
Biggest Thanks to ALL who have helped get Rollickin scoopin!

Whip it, whip it good!’
How we create the good stuff.
The Rollickin Gelato chefs are up before the crack of dawn making & creating fresh every day. They use wholesome ingredients like creamy, nutrient rich organic milk & cream to create each scoop from scratch.
This ground up approach yields gelato that is chock full of flavour and fun.They whip up all of the cookies, crumbles, cakes and ripples that get folded into the decadent gelato. That’s right, even the accoutrements are made from scratch here. Dessert enthusiasts can peer into the wonderland that is the Rollickin kitchen and watch these concoctions come to life.
About ten crowd flavours are always on offer and so are dairy-free sorbets which, we might add, aren’t just there to check a box. They’re just as tasty. In addition to these, Rollickin rolls out three new flavours every two weeks.
