Planning a staff event can be surprisingly difficult.
You want something that feels special and memorable, but also easy to organise, suitable for different age groups and professional enough for a workplace environment. After years of seeing the same pizzas, sandwich platters and office catering, many companies are now looking for experiences that feel more engaging and enjoyable for their teams.
That’s where our vintage gelato cart comes in.
At Cuore di Gelato, we bring artisan Italian gelato and a full-service vintage gelato cart experience to workplaces and corporate events across Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty.

A Simple and Stress-Free Setup
One of the reasons companies love our gelato cart is how easy it is to organise.
We take care of:
- Delivery and setup
- Serving during the event
- Cleanup afterwards
All we need is a small space to set up the cart and access to power if required for longer events. Our team arrives ready to serve, allowing your staff and guests to simply enjoy the experience.
Whether it’s an office courtyard, lunchroom, warehouse, showroom or outdoor function, we can adapt our setup to suit the space.
More Than Just Dessert
Our gelato cart creates a relaxed and interactive atmosphere that people naturally gather around.
It works particularly well for:
- Staff appreciation days
- End-of-year functions
- Team celebrations
- Client events
- Workplace culture initiatives
- Company milestones
- Open days and community events
The vintage Italian-style cart also becomes a visual feature of the event itself, creating a more premium and memorable experience than standard catering options.
Handmade Artisan Gelato from Tauranga
All our gelato is handmade locally in Tauranga using quality ingredients and traditional Italian techniques.
We focus on natural flavours and small-batch production, offering a rotating range of classic and seasonal flavours. From pistachio and hazelnut to fresh fruit sorbets and chocolate favourites, there is usually something for everyone.
Our service is family friendly, inclusive and suitable for daytime corporate events where alcohol may not always be appropriate.
Flexible Packages for Different Events
We can cater for both smaller workplace gatherings and larger company functions.
Our packages are flexible and can include:
- Multiple gelato flavours
- Cups or cones
- Full serving staff
- Different serving durations
- Dietary-friendly options
We are happy to work with your team to create a setup that suits your event size and budget.
