I'm actually from New Zealand.
It was really nice coming here and having a taste of home after being out of the country for 5 years.
It even has that bit of vanilla at the bottom of the cone that fails to blend but we love that!
Friendly staff too, which is probably the least NZ authentic thing about this place

Try this place! I've been coming here for several years to get the best ice cream. Far Out blends ice cream with a fruit of your choice - the New Zealand way - to make these awesome combinations. Anything berry or mango is a good bet, and the banana chocolate with choccy chips as a topping is heavenly! The nice thing is the ice cream is creamy and doesn't have that yukky fake fruit flavor. They blend it right in front of you with the 'Little Jem' machines the owner brought here all the way from New Zealand! Great ice cream - just like it's done in NZ (I'm from New Zealand.) The service is always great, too.

Okay I was skeptical… but this place is INCREDIBLE. I mean we came two days in a row just because of how good this place was. And we being two broke med students. I got the shark attack soda and my friend got the ice cream. Phenomenal. I mean it. Jaw dropping mouth watering stomach churning delicious. If you like those little gummy sharks you will loveeeee the shark drink!!! The only tiny thing that could be improved is my friends mango/passionfruit ice cream had chocolate in it which we didn’t ask for but it was still good!!! We may be back again tomorrow…

Loved the chocolate and raspberry mix. I gave them 4 stars because of the required use of terminals (at the back of the store) to take orders. The operation is not at all intuitive and the people in front of us spent a lot of time trying to place their orders while chatting back and forth, tying up the terminals. A crowd of a dozen people came in behind us (weekday summer evening) and the delay in placing orders was significant.

What a unique ice cream experience!! Most of the offerings are sugar free, and most can be make vegan/dairy free as well!!! So delicious....

The concept is great and they had vegan ice cream, but I couldn't eat the last half of my ice cream because the top of my ice cream was the bottom of my daughters and hers was dairy. They blend the ice cream but don't clean it in between. My daughter had sprinkles she didn't order in the bottom of her ice cream. A waste of money for ice cream that we threw half away. And we both thought it was flavorless.

delicious icecream, but no parking, always busy

The mango matcha was so good!!!

Best of the far out locations for consistency, but also one of the more crowded! Plan to wait a bit, but the staff is friendly and hard working turning out ice cream as quickly as possible. Run out of cones from time to time but usually have everything in stock!

I had a truly great experience here recently and needed to share. I noted my gluten allergy in the order comments, and without me even having to ask, the staff went above and beyond. When my order came up the worker changed out all the different components of the ice cream machine, ran them through the dishwasher, and thoroughly wiped down any remnants on the machine before preparing my order. They also made sure the toppings were handled separately to avoid any cross-contamination and changed gloves as well. Often times, especially in ice cream stores, you will need to assume that there is a chance of cross contamination, but here I was not worried at all and really appreciate all of the effort they put in to make sure I could eat safely. Plus the blueberry ice cream was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend!

Really right squeeze in there. The ordering is done via kiosk and there's only 2 at the very end of the shop which is hard to get to with all the people waiting on the way and with how the tables are. Drinks were good though.

Delicious ice cream- can get really busy sometimes there's a long wait. Since they're New Zealand ice cream I wish they had hokey pokey.

Ice cream is good. The line can get long. I wasn't too thrilled about one person working behind the counter today without sharing details. The other two were good.
