There are multiple of these around town, so you have plenty of chances to check it out…read more We stopped by around 11pm after dinner and the place was still quite lively. Service is prompt, just make sure you know what you're ordering! We tried tarta de la abuela and crema tostada, both fantastic and local flavors. Tarta de la abuela has that perfect mix of cookies, chocolate but also a nice touch of rich pine nuts Crema tostada is like a hug-- some liken it to crème brûlée, but in custardy ice cream form. You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors. Aside from ice cream, they also make fresh horchata which in Spain is made with chufas, or tiger nuts. They have a more earthy flavor than that of the Mexican horchata made with almonds/rice, but I liked it! This is the quintessential summer dessert spot ^_^

We eventually settled on the orange with chocolate and the mango flavors, which complimented each other very well and were very high quality. They were perfectly sweet and it was the perfect treat to end our day exploring Malaga with.

After months of hearing whispered legends about this spot, I finally succumbed to the rumors…read more Stepping inside Happiness Lab in Mijas Pueblo felt less like entering a modern cafe and more like tumbling headfirst into a fantasy novel. The counters and shelves are piled high with a near-infinite mountain of coffee beans, glossy chocolate drops, and artisanal bars. It feels like a friendly witch's cottage or a medieval apothecary. The magic is reinforced by a beautiful commitment to tradition: there is a complete absence of plastic. Everything lives safely in crinkly paper packages or giant glass jars, letting you peek at the treasures inside. I didn't spot any phoenix tears, dragon blood, or pixie dust on this first trip. However, I am entirely convinced that once I become a familiar face and get invited into the secret back room, those rare curiosities will be offered to me. I am already considering to trade my soul for a lifetime supply. The ordering counter sits outside, accompanied by a few tables and chairs where you can gorge on your chosen potions. The ice cream, gelato, and sorbets come in a plethora of flavors, completely customizable with your choice of chocolate bar and drizzle. I opted for a vibrant mango sorbet paired with banoffee gelato, washed down with a hot latte. What followed was sheer wizardry. The mango actually tasted like real, sun-ripened mango. The banana tasted purely of banana. Sweet as can be but I'm not tasting sugar. There is no nefarious chemical trickery here to fool your brain. The texture is sublime--completely free of the graininess of ill-formed ice crystals or the grittiness of subpar ingredients. Next, I bit into the dark chocolate bar I had chosen. There was not a single hint of bitterness; it possessed the pure, unadulterated pleasure that mass-market chocolate lost long ago. The chocolate drizzle had solidified against the cold scoop, but it immediately turned to liquid amber the moment it hit my tongue. That is when the real magic happened. As the flavors and textures coated my taste buds simultaneously, reality began to blur. I looked back into the shop, half-expecting to see Oompa Loompas carrying sacks of cacao or Willy Wonka himself supervising the kitchen. I looked out into the sunlit square, and the tourists seemed to convene in perfect formation, moving like a crowd in a Bollywood musical or Michael Jackson's Thriller. The smoothness of the dark chocolate danced over my tongue akin to a flawless moonwalk, while the choreographed harmony of mango and banana initiated a heavenly, romantic affair in my mind. Even the coffee refused to be a background actor. I took a sip and the witchcraft continued; it was smooth, perfectly balanced, and entirely devoid of any bitter aftertaste. It was every bit as musical as the main event. Back to Reality Suddenly, the spell broke and reality hit. I blinked. Did I just imagine an entire square of people dancing? I looked down at the dessert in my hands--my precious--and smiled. What an absolute delight. And to think... that was only the first spoonful. Can you buy happiness? Perhaps you can. And at Happiness Lab, the price is worth every single cent.

An interesting experience. The place boasts itself as the…read moresource of authentic gelato. Large number of ice creams is offered. I got hazelnut gelato and it tasted very good to me. However, I was in a company of friends from Italy, and some of them were very critical of the the gelato (but they all polished their cones).

Runa Kay was a nice pause to enjoy a cup of ice cream located in Marbella's old town at the Plaza…read morede los Naranjos. The plaza is a maze already- so if you're strolling around and stumble on Runa, that's great. But to give us more of a sense of direction, we'd enter the plaza from Calle Jacinto Benavente as our 'landmark' and head down the street. Erica (owner? manager?) gave us the inside scoop on Runa Kay's ice cream history- which turned out to be a quite tasty dairy, gluten and sugar-free (none that hubs and I adhere to) product. The common chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, etc ice cream flavors are listed- but it was their fruit-base flavors like their Lemon-Ginger or hubs' Pomegranate that grabbed our attention and held up just fine with Marbella's heat. Every bit of their 'We Love Nature' business motto was in our cup. Love.

The ice cream is also delicious and they have flavors I hadn't seen elsewhere. Good location across from the beach. If the service had been a little better, I would give this 5 stars.
