About Penguino

A Nelson favourite for good reason

Tucked into Montgomery Square, Penguino Ice Cream Cafe has built a loyal following for its gelato and sorbet — flavours made in-house and rotated through the year, alongside hot Belgium waffles and Dutch stroopwafels. It is the kind of place locals bring visitors, and where the queue on a sunny day tells its own story.
