Review The Strawberry Farm - Mangere

A popular go-to place for Strawberries - they are freshly picked, tasty, juicy and huge! They also make delicious strawberry ice-cream - a popular place it is always busy with customers. Sales are cash only so don’t get caught out.

Oh yes ...a great place to take your family... lovely service...try the ice cream it's yummy...strawberries with chocolate dip is on another level. Fresh cut strawberries with ice cream and banana at home was yum😍.

Great price for value. Strawberries are huge and fresh. Can be quite busy during the weekend.

Good value ice cream. Good quality, sweet strawberries. Nice chilled atmosphere. Only negative is no EFTPOS. Remember cash next time😊

They don't allow you to pluck fresh strawberries. But the fresh strawberry ice cream is worth the universe.. Super yummy ❣️🧿

I highly recommend this place. Not only do they have an excellent range of strawberries, but they also have a range of other fresh produce as well. Friendly staff as well. I will definitely be going back there regularly.

Yummy strawberries, variety of sizes/quality/prices. Not the cheapest, but def delicious. Would be great if had eftpos

Strawberries and their ice cream are popular here during summer. Always frequent this place for their vegetables. You definitely get your moneys worth. Normally spend under $20 for a lot leafy greens: $3 for a large punnit of mesclun, $2 bak choy bags, lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers.

Yummy fresh fruit strawberry icecream. We also got some strawberries. They have other fresh-from-the-farm veggies. Open 10-6. We visited in January

Strawberries were sweet and delicious. Best bit was the ice cream

This is a regular stop for me to and from the airport. In the height of summer, you just can't beat a freshly made strawberry ice cream. The produce market is also worth a peek around.

I love the strawberry ice cream it’s so cheap and delicious! I’ve been coming here for years and the workers are always nice and friendly. Honestly it’s my favourite ice cream it doesn’t feel too sweet and heavy it’s the perfect sweetness and the portion is so big!

Great local place to bring the kids especially on a hot day. Get some fresh vegetables, enjoy some ice cream before you head home. Huge portions.

Can never go wrong I love all their desserts. Fruits and veges on sale are always cheap. My one stop shop during summer for a delicious ice cream

Back to the same old place for the annual family (& Kiwi) tradition of real fruit strawberry ice cream! The ice cream portion is huge for the price. The waffle cone is really crispy, and the strawberry and vanilla ice cream is really creamy and well blended with some icy strawberry bits. Absolutely delicious in this hot weather! Have been there for soo many years so would highly recommend this as a refreshing and delectable summer treat! They also sell fresh and cheap vegetables which is very convenient!

One of the best places around to get fresh strawberry ice cream in ways of price, service and portion size. <br/>The ice cream is huge, almost to the point of “i cant finish this s#%t” price is very fair and the service compared to a lot of the other outlets that sell the same product is far better. Staff are very happy and friendly like they enjoy there job. <br/>They also sell other vegetables that a very cheap and high quality. <br/>This is a must stop if you want real strawberry ice cream or vegetables.

An all-time summer favourite and a must when in Auckland. This place produces remarkable fresh strawberry ice creams that have you coming back for more. So Creamy, Sweet and fresh too, a perfect combination in the summer. They also do Hotcakes and Smoothies too which is great if you're wanting something more filling.

Came in today just to try the real fruit strawberry ice cream. Got two boxes of strawberries while we were at it. The strawberries tasted so fresh and sweet. The ice cream was really creamy and honestly the best strawberry ice cream I’ve ever had. This was probably because this was actually the first real fruit ice cream I’ve had but it honestly did taste amazing. The vanilla ice cream at the bottom of the waffle cone was so delicious. Waffle cone was also quite crunchy. Would definitely go back for more.

If you haven’t been here then you don’t know what you’re missing out on. It’s a bit pricey however it’s delicious. Haven’t tried the pancakes yet cause not willing to spend that much.

A summertime staple. Fresh strawberry ice cream made right infront of you so on a hot day it is a perfect pit stop for the family. Only down side is that sometimes there is no eftpos available so must carry cash when you come here. Good flavour icecream. Highly recommend!

Great place to pick up seasonal vegetables and a beautiful strawberry soft serve ice cream!! Shame that nxt wend is the last wend before they close for winter!

Love this pl for a massive strawberry ice cream in summer. It’s always packed on hot summer days. If you are visiting Auckland in summer then you must stop in here for a ice cream, strawberries, and other produce on sale.

Visited this place on a summer weekend. Definitely a place to try during the summers. Get some nice ice-creams and go have a nice view outside having a good view of the airport. The fresh fruits with waffle cones are just amazing and a bang for the money. although they will only accept cash payments and no eftpos or visa

Delicious real strawberry ice cream! They do pancakes too!! Love this place and where its located. It always seems to be busy in the summer with a never ending line of people wanting ice cream or fruit and veg from their fresh produce area. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!

Who doesn't like a fresh strawberry farm ice cream? Seriously! So damn good I wish I had my own strawberry farm. <br/>Highly recommend if your in Mangere.

Great Ice Cream . Flavours are great as they original . Try Pancake with Ice cream. Amazing . Vegas are quite fresh. This place is so worth for visiting .

This has got to be one of the best Ice-Cream parlours in South Auckland. I ordered a Strawberry Smoothie and that feeling of coldness going down the throat during a really hot day, totally satisfying with the fruity taste.<br/><br/>The people there really friendly and kind, managed to get my order quite quickly because there were hardly any people there at the time.<br/><br/>It's sort of inside a garage type of shop and judging by the looks, it seems relatively new. I can easily tell by the fresh coat of colour, I may be wrong who knows. I'm definitely coming back soon.

If you are ever near the airport, make sure you try and stop by! The vege is fresh from the farm and very reasonable too! The best part is having a fresh strawberry ice cream! Definitely a great pit stop and could put a smile on anybody's face. <br/>I know as I always stop by here before sending my parents off to airport and just helps with bonding time. :)

Yum! This place is so homely and kiwi! I love the full experience and the ice cream on a hot summers day! Made to awesomeness every time! Can't really say anything bad about this place

My go to place when craving for fresh ice cream especially during summer time 🌞🍦🍓. They also sell some sorts of fresh veggies in a very reasonable price. Highly recommended 😊

the best strawberry ice cream often has alot of people at this place, esp during the weekends.  they make the ice cream in front of you. you can also buy fresh produce.

Great place for fresh produce and ice cream. Must try their pancakes and sundaes also they are yummy. Highly recommended if your in the area.

Cheerful weekend ice cream stop of any day of the week for that matter. Have been frequenting this place for years and the quality and quantity of ice cream is still exceptional. Take cash as there are no eftpos facilities and you may also want to purchase some of their fresh produce.

Always very busy. Expect long lines. Also expect great Strawberry ice cream made right in front of you. <br/><br/>Also available is fresh strawberries, fresh produce and pancakes with strawberries!

I've been coming to this place for two years now and always get excited around labour weekend as that's when they tend to open. Really cheap ice cream considering how at other places they sell the ice cream for around $5-$6 whereas this one is $4. It would be nice if they could install eftpos machines as not everyone carries money with them.

I came here in the weekend as I was craving real fruit strawberry ice cream! It's still too early for strawberry picking right now but the shop was still open for ice cream, smoothies and fresh punnets. <br/><br/>I got the regular waffle cone for $4, with only 2 ingredients; frozen strawberries and ice cream. You watch them churn the ice cream as your waiting so you know it's fresh! So creamy, light and refreshing on a hot day, probably my favourite ice cream ever! <br/><br/>I also grabbed a punnet for $4 and the strawberries were bright red in colour, sweet and juicy! Highly recommend this place.

This place only opens end of spring and during the summer season.<br/><br/>They sell lots of fresh veges but their main product is their strawberries. They get so packed with long long long lines of people buying their ice creams made from their strawberries and the strawberries.<br/><br/>The lines maybe long but the workers are smooth like clockwork and you don't really wait as long as you might think.<br/><br/>The strawberries here are particularly fragrant, sweet, red and big! As you walk towards or even drive towards the strawberry farm you can smell the fruity goodness of the strawberries!

One of the last remaining Chinese market gardens still in business here in Mangere and we like to come here just for their BIG Fresh n Juicy Strawberries and yes the berry based yogurt ice creme too. Can get quite hectic here during the summer weekends, unsure if the berries use in the ice creme is from their strawberry field or frozens, trade secret of theirs..

I know people go all the way out to Kumeu to try this stuff after Strawberry picking but got to try it at the Chinese Lantern Festival at the Auckland Domain ! Obviously was a lot cheaper there than it would be in Mangere and tasted just like Strawberry Frozen Yoghurt - really light and fruity, not too sweet as well!

I love there so! Every summer people enjoy fresh strawberry and yummy real strawberry ice cream with lovely price there. Also sale fresh vegetables with average price at $3.00 per KG. But only cash, no efpots.

Went to the regional park nearby and came here for yummy strawberry ice cream on a hot summer ♡♡ they sell cheap vegetables too, big branch of brocolli for only one dollar!

The rumours are true! This place does the BEST strawberry ice cream out of all the ones I've tried! Usually they're too icy with little strawberry flavour but they use the nice ones that give it that sweetness and tartness. Service was quite fast, we received our ice cream in no time at all. For $4.50 per cone, you get a towering swirl of ice cream which I shared with my sister but I see people usually finishing one by themselves. After tasting it, I'm not surprised why. There's also a mini farmers market with fresh produce on offer such as beetroot, celery, lettuce etc. Also, be aware that everything is CASH ONLY here!

My favourite place to get strawberry ice cream 😍<br/><br/> I've come here religiously over the years and keep bringing friends and family here to try. This is definitely a popular summer stop for many people. There's always a line of people waiting to order and get their ice creams. They also offer pancakes and smoothies etc, I've never tried because I'm just so satisfied with the strawberry ice cream and that I have an allergy to apples so that's a no to the smoothies 😓<br/> The ice cream is made of frozen strawberries and vanilla ice cream blended together right in front of you! <br/><br/> There's parking, most people know to just park, get their ice creams and leave so there's usually parking available or there's plenty of street parking ☺️<br/><br/> Also this place does cheap vegetables and on the occasion some plants for sale. So it's nice to grab a treat and some vegetables for dinner 😁<br/> Highly recommended hehe

If this place had eftpos facilities and better seating, it would be perfect. But you can't fault the quality of the food and fresh produce and strawberries.

You can't enjoy Summer without buying a real strawberry ice cream from here! Especially if you live around the area. I am soooo happy that this farm is down the road from where I stay! Very popular place! Reasonable price for the serve you get. They also sell veggies and salads here as well, which is reasonably affordable! I will continue to be a loyal customer!!! Highly recommend if you're in the area.

This place is rightfully a popular tourist spot for good reason as nothing beats a real fruit ice cream in NZ summer heat. I'm impressed with the alternate dishes which are offered alongside th ice creams such as strawberry pancakes.

Excellent place to sit outside and enjoy a nice strawberry ice-cream in summers. Best simple ice-cream you'll get in the south! A must go place.

I always come here for their fresh strawberries and their strawberry ice cream. They also offer vegetables, pancakes and smoothies for those who are interested. A lot of people come here everyday, they have a lot of parking spaces, but if there's a lot of people going then it's quite hard to look for parking. Their prices for the strawberries changes, probably depending on how much produce they have. Just to let you know, they pick the strawberries themselves and they are already weighed and arranged in a plastic container. Price ranges from $13-$18 for their class A strawberries. $4 for their waffle cone strawberry ice cream. It's a good place to come in during summer, very affordable and close to town compared to Kumeu and other strawberry picking places outside of Auckland.

I've wanted to try this place out for so long but never really had the chance - until today :) today was a perfect day to get ice cream as the weather was amazing (not too hot and not cold at all). I ordered a waffle cone with strawberry ice cream and the $9 pancakes (2 pancakes with ice cream and fresh strawberries). My bro ordered the same. We both really enjoyed everything! Totally recommend :)

If your a fan of strawberries like me then you'll love the ice-cream here! Delicious fresh strawberries whipped into ice-cream right in front of you. This place gets really busy during summer and there is often a big line, but the wait usually isn't too bad. Just note they don't have eftpos so you'll need to have some cash handy. The pancakes are pretty good but I always opt for the waffle cone ice-cream, which is reasonably priced at $4 for the size of it! If your looking for fresh fruit and vege they have a good range on site too. Next time will be trying the smoothies!

You cannot get any fresher and tastier strawberry ice creams in Auckland than here. Just make sure you carry some cash as they don't do eftpos. <br/>We picked a pack of jumbo strawberries too and they are very sweet and juicy!

My first time going to a strawberry farm was this one - unfortunately this one doesn't allow you to pick your own strawberries but you can buy really good strawberries here. They have differing grades for their strawberries so the lower quality/smaller ones are much cheaper than their big juicy ones with almost no imperfections. <br/><br/>The strawberry ice cream is amazing! Although they do use frozen strawberries, it still tastes great. Would highly recommend coming to try it out if you haven't already. <br/><br/>The service is great, although they hire international students as it felt a bit difficult to talk to the cashier and the ice cream makers. You pay at the cashier and get given a docket for the ice cream/pancakes/shakes.<br/><br/>Sarah Reynolds #challenge

We live right down the road from these guys and always have the most amazingly memorable summers because of their strawberries and ice creams. As the kids grow older I can't wait for them to really appreciate places like this.

So many people when I went, but really nice ice creams, let me choose between blueberry or strawberry or mixed, I got mixed and was delicious! They are really generous with the amount they give you too! Also got the beetroot juice, looked nice and tasted pretty good, after taste kinda taste a bit like dirt though. I know beetroot kinda does that though and enjoyed it enough. Sell heaps of good priced fresh veges too, really nice place to have a quick little sweet treat.

<br/>This is my favourite, my go-to place in summer! The giant sized Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries ($2ea) are delicious and not to mention their signature Strawberry Ice Cream ($3.50-$4). I find that the fresh strawberries are most sweet around mid December to the beginning of January. They also sell fresh veges at an affordable price. <br/><br/>Something to keep in mind before you visit : they accept CASH ONLY.<br/>

Had some really yum pancakes! And the weather was just right. Their strawberries don't get much better and the ice cream was so good! Also the staff were very cool. The only improvement I would suggest is the installation of an eftpos machine.
