    Ollie's Burgers and Ice Cream has become a bit of a legend in Auckland. Having opened in the 1970s, Ollie's has earned its reputation as one of the best ice-cream parlours around. With flavours like caramel fudge, butterscotch pecan, Jamaican lime, licorice allsorts and raspberry and lemonade fizz on hand, the selection is unbeatable and there is something to suit every member of the family. As if choosing an ice cream flavour wasn't hard enough, Ollie's patrons are then faced with deciding between regular or waffle cones, milkshakes or thickshakes, sundaes or banana splits. My last trip to Ollie's I was overwhelmed by all the options and ended up settling on a two scoop sundae, complete with caramel sauce, cream, nuts, wafer and glace cherry. Needless to say it was incredible - too incredible in fact. Despite being way too full and actually feeling quite sick, I proceeded to east the entire sundae. A word of warning - unless you are absolutely craving a massive sugar hit, beware of the sundaes! Ollie's also offers a great selection of takeaway-type food; burgers, toasted sandwiches, nuggets, hotdogs, chips and fritters - you don't just have to stick to their ice cream range. The one issue I have with Ollie's is the decor. I know it has been around for forty years and is trying to maintain their 1970s atmosphere, but a wee facelift wouldn't hurt. Otherwise, I have no qualms with the place and happily recommend it to anyone after some delicious dessert!

    Went to Ollie's for some classic milkshakes on a date night and they didn't disappoint! A huge menu full of classic flavours mixed in with the new (birthday cake was the flavour of the week). Unfortunately the tables were all dirty and the seating was a bit odd, kind of like sitting at a kiddy table. But all in all, a cute place for a shake! The bf says: décor is swell, bring your best gal.

    Ollies is my favourite ice cream shop in Auckland. There is nothing fancy about it. I have grown up with Ollies living around the corner and I have never been disappointed. The majority of the ice cream served is Tip Top, but no one expects anything more from a shop that has been around for years with the same one owner. Tucked in Royal Oak, Ollies also serves burgers and fries etc but everyone comes for the huge scoops of ice cream and the hot fudge sauce. If you think you can contain the messiness of ice cream on a cone I recommend ordering your ice cream dipped in choc. If you are a ice cream lover, you can go as far as a getting a three scoop sundae with hot fudge sauce, whipped cream, nuts and a cherry. They have roughly 20 flavours to choose from. My favourite flavour which you can't buy in stores is Pineapple Choc Chunk - pineapple lump flavour is a must try!! Other alternatives are milkshake and thick shakes with any flavour ice cream. If your an ice cream lover, you can't get anymore kiwi authentic then ollies.

With vegan and gluten feee options, this was a great spot for lunch. We tried their tacos for lunch and I have to say it was one of the best vegan and gluten free tacos ever hands down! The tortilla was soft yet crispy with a beet hummus done to perfection with every texture imaginable from crispy chickpeas to the beet chips and the softness from the hummus and slight spiciness. The dish when plated looks like it belongs in an upscale Michelin style restaurant. This place packs a ton of flavor! We also shared their hand cut fries which were large and satisfying. They have the feel of potato skins with the crunchy exterior and a soft and supple interior and the taste is unbelievably satisfying when dipped into the spicy aioli that accompanies it or just plain ketchup if that's your jam. The chicken tacos were also pretty dense and crunchy and fried to perfection. The sauce is sweet and tangy and makes for a filling lunch! This place is a must try for sure! Service is also superb and everything comes up in a timely fashion and fast! Staff is very aware of dietary restrictions which is very helpful!

Don't go pass on the soda, they are my favorite sodas...This is the best cafe on Nuffield I reckon.

    My boyfriend and I stopped in here one night instead of going grocery shopping, as we were hungry…read moreand had been wanting to try this place for a while (I'd always walk by it and it looks super cute). I love the chill vibes and trendy but lowkey ambiance. We sat in a booth which was really fun and round, and though it wasn't super busy, we waited a bit before we could get menus. About 15 mins later, someone came to take our orders. The staff looked busy but there were 2 people working the floor there and only three tables aside from us. Anyway, it didn't bother me too much, and when a person came to chat with us, I asked them if I could get anything vegan. They can do the vegetarian burger vegan-style, as long as you switch out the bun for a gluten free one and take off the special sauce. I thought the buns were really cute and was a bit disheartened to have to get a gluten free bun, but I decided to give it a shot. The guy working there had an amazing knowledge of vegan things, he even knew which beers they had that were vegan. My boyfriend ordered the classic burger, which arrived much cuter looking than mine. He got the combo, which means he also got fries and a soda. The fries were a bit greasy, but I guess thats what makes them "fries." I still ate half :) He tried the blueberry and lime soda, which was super good. My burger was definitely vegan and gluten-free tasting. The "burger" was a battered and fried onion, with more batter than onion. It tasted a bit like fried white flour. It had a portabello mushroom on top, which added a bit of flavor, and I asked for avocado as well. There was the tiniest bit of avocado added, which was also a bit disappointing as it costs a shitload extra for avocado. (okay like $2 but still) The gluten free bun was, as most gluten free bread, crumbly and not ideal. I ordered it, so I can't be mad, but it wasn't the best. I think next time I'd just wrap it in lettuce. But next time I probably wouldn't get the burger, so... I guess I'd just go for fries. #veganlife All in all, it was a bit less than the experience that I'd hoped for. The staff was friendly (if slow), and the food was mediocre but decently priced (we paid like $33 total). I probably wouldn't go back, but I'm happy we finally tried it. If you're a meat eater, you'd probably like it a bit more than I did :)

It was a great night - the restaurant had a lovely ambience, the service was good and most importantly, the food was delicious!!! So delicious that I really wanted to come back and try their lunch menu. When a recent Grabone deal popped up, it was the perfect opportunity! I booked a table for two ahead of time and I'm so glad I did! We arrived at 1pm on a beautiful sunny Saturday and the place was absolutely packed! Our table was right by the huge windows that open out onto Nuffield Street. They have ample seating, with a great indoor/outdoor flow and it definitely felt like we were in a European city - such a cool vibe! We ordered a Mojito ($14.50), the Mussels ($18.50) and the Moorish Eggs with Turkish Pide Bread ($17.50). The mojito was very refreshing on the hot summers day and instead of being overly sweet, it was minty and had a good amount of lime in it. My Mum had the mussels and she thoroughly enjoyed them - the flavours were a perfect balance of garlic, chilli and lemon. The Moorish eggs were delicious as well. After seeing many Instagram photos of the Moorish eggs, I just knew I had to order them! At $17.50, one would think it is too steep, but it was actually very filling! The dish consists of 3 eggs and 6 meatballs in a rich tomato sauce, plus Turkish Pide bread on the side. It was very yummy and it would make a great comfort meal in the winter! The service was friendly and we didn't have to wait long for our food. Highly recommend Tasca - it's a great place for all occasions whether it be a function, a birthday, a date night or best of all, a lazy Sunday afternoon!
