About Far Out Ice Cream Far Out Ice Cream is inspired by the New Zealand tradition of real fruit ice cream. Every order is blended fresh - creamy ice cream mixed with real fruit and custom toppings for a treat that’s as unique as each guest. Our shops are fast, fun, and hospitality‑driven, built around creativity, community, and a high‑energy team culture.
