Celebrate September with Little ’Lato — new gelato flavours, events, and award-winning scoops loved across Auckland, Hamilton, and NZ.
Little ‘Lato & Moreno collaborate on a gelato sandwich, unlike you have tasted before!
This August we have teamed up with Moreno Café & Bakery to make a gelato sandwich, unlike you have tasted before!
It all starts with their Señorita bread - a soft, fluffy Filipino sweet roll filled with burnt butter & brown sugar and coated in toasted breadcrumbs. This is lightly toasted and filled with three scoops of gelato. If you are based in Auckland, this is one Auckland dessert you don’t want to miss.
New Gelato & Vegan Gelato Flavours have dropped!
August flavours have dropped! This month we’re shining a spotlight on lemon (thanks to the abundance of lemons we have right now!), alongside a few Italian-inspired gems. If we can’t be in Italy, we’ll bring a little Italian summer here to New Zealand instead. From Coconut, Gin, Lemon & Almond to Vegan Pistachio, 6 flavour packed numbers are scooping in Ponsonby and Hamilton now.
July Flavours have dropped!
July flavours have dropped! From Churro & Dulce de Leche, to Porridge & Brown Sugar and more. Seven flavour packed numbers are scooping now in Ponsonby and Hamilton (alongside our other crowd-favourites of course).
Our newest winter warmers: Italian Hot Chocolate and Chocolate Affogato!
Winter evenings just got a whole lot cosier. We’ve added two new treats to the Little ’Lato Ponsonby lineup: Italian Hot Chocolate and Chocolate Affogato.
Italian hot chocolate topped with your favourite gelato, or your favourite gelato drowned in Italian hot chocolate… both sound pretty ideal!
Available at Little ‘Lato Ponsonby from 5-10pm daily.
