Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It's popular so be prepared for the long queue.and not so good service. There's a small but lovely selection of patisserie along with plenty of chocolate and ice cream. There's seating upstairs but unfortunately it wasn't clean as we needed to ask staff to wipe...the table. The furniture needs replacing as too much wear and tear. The tea and cake was good but we weren't a fan of the churros as they were poor.More

I wondered if the long line was worth it and the answer is yes! Had the banana split flavor in a sugar cone. One scoop was very hearty. Also bought some dark chocolate truffles that I haven’t tried yet. I’ll probably be back before I...leave the city…More

Simply delicious! A local friend required that I try ice cream while traveling here and based on others’ reviews, I decided to try Patagonia. The location is perfect – it is right on the edge of Queenstown Mall and overlooks the water from the upper...level (great people watching might I add). They have a ton of flavors of ice cream to choose from, different toppings, and three chocolate fountains (omg!). You can also order from a selection of pastries, fudge or chocolate treats. I ordered two scoops – dark chocolate and coconut stracciatella in a waffle cone. The coconut Stracciatella was my favorite – but both were delicious. Highly recommend this place if you’re wanting something to satisfy your sweet tooth.More

Excellent ice cream with a large amount of choice including melted chocolate dipping, very busy but the service is still quick. The portions are huge! We did not try the chocolate but it looked great too.

We recently visited Queenstown, and every time we walked past the Patagonia Ice Creamery, the lines wrapped around the counter. We heard that they moved quickly, so we decided to give it a try for evening dessert and coffee. Ice cream is the main draw...here, and the ability to design your own ice cream stick based upon selecting the ice cream and coating flavors. I selected the vanilla ice cream and milk chocolate bar, and it was very tasty. There are also traditional hand scooped cones, chocolates, and coffees. The cappuccino I had with my ice cream was equally delicious. I could have eaten dessert at Patagonia daily.More

Fantastic ice cream, cheesecake, chocolate mousse cake. We went in two times and walked by a couple times and there was consistently some kind of line/queue. We found the line moved quickly. The line is longest for ice cream. They had options to just get...chocolate, etc separately. One time we went the line was long -all the way around the counters and back to the stairs. This time took about 15 minutes. We found it worth the wait and the line still well moving. We decided to try Ferg burger and were able to get through line and eat our ice cream before our Ferg burger was ready. Everything we had from Patagonia was tasty and fresh. We went in Wanaka and again in Queenstown! Among the top ice cream we had while in NZ.More

Amazing ice cream! We picked every day a different flavor! All good! If there is a queue, just get in line! It’s super fast and easy! And totally worthy

Overrated. If you can find Tip Top ice cream it is much better and cheaper. I was disappointed in my milk chocolate topped ice cream. The chocolate was so hard I could hardly break it and in the mean time the ice cream was melting...inside.More

Although the ice cream was amazing in Queenstown near the water, we grabbed coffees here and regretted it. Although we were quite clear that we wanted to drink our coffees at the tables, they were put in the way cups. We ordered four and got...three. That was a delay to get the fourth. And the milk in the cappuccinos and lattes were super heated. I believe there is another coffee place - give that a try.More

The icecream and other items are really good and worth to try several times if you are visiting Queenstown! The people (staff) are also kind and caring! The problem is the the small inside the shop which I think is because of the issues with...toilet drainage or something like that! Especially in the second floor where the toilets are! The smell is even get outside the shop in the walkway!More

Certainly the place for ice cream in Queenstown. All kinds of options, chocolate is flowing and they will put it on anything you want! Ice cream is delicious and the line is always long. Highly recommend.

Definitely worth the hype (unlike Fergburger)!!! We can at least vouch for the ice cream here, which me and my family tried multiple times. Gelato type smoothness and great flavour. Must try!!!

Very busy but does provide the nicest ice cream with genuine waffle cones. Full of tourists so did not get the option of sampling dessert menu. Good but not going out of my way to go again.

Very popular place and a good range of ice creams and chocolates and hot drinks. Choice of cones, stick or cups. The kids cup at $5 was big enough for me giving a good size scoop. Very creamy ice cream which was most enjoyable.

Perfect expresso and chocolates with a view! Only thing: they should offer a little shot of sparkling water with the expresso!
