They have an incredible selection of flavors--three full freezers of gelato with so many unique options to choose from. Whether you like classic flavors or want to try something more adventurous, there's truly something for everyone. If you're walking around Old San Juan and craving something sweet, this is the perfect place to stop. Definitely one of the best treats we had on the trip!

Very cute gelato shop in old San Juan! We drove by one day and saw a line around the store, so we…read morehad to stop today when we were walking in the area! Very cute interior, clearly well thought out and designed to be a photo/insta location. The colors and decor all flowed well. But beyond that, they have wonderful flavors! We tried about 7 in our group and they were all good. Tasted high quality and you could distinguish what the flavor was supposed to be. Fresh made on site I would guess. The order process is a little difficult w use they have so many flavors spread out over about 15 feet of displays. Hard to pick what you want without running back and forth to see if you would miss anything! The seating areas were nice and had lots of seating. Disappointed to see that the bathroom was out of order and just had an envelope with a handwritten message on it. Really took away from the experience. But would enjoy again!

We visited this spot after reading that it's featured as a stop on a local food tour…read more Ambiance-wise, there's not much to it. It's a small hole-in-the-wall spot for you to to pick up a popsicle and walk out with it. There is no seating inside. Service was friendly as she explained the options (i.e. water based vs milk based). They have a few sugar-free options which was appreciated. My main complaint is that the ice creams were not well labeled. I asked what flavors a few of them were but felt bad asking every single one... it would help if they were clearly labeled. I had a coconut milk popsicle which was good but nothing to write home about. Overall, average.

Kasalta came highly recommended from some friends so naturally we had to go…read more Apparently this is where every tourist and local goes because this place was packed. When we walked in there was a long line and hardly any tables available to sit. Thankfully, the line gave us ample time to read through the menu and decide on what we wanted. For reference, there are two different lines. One for the bakery items and the other for actual food, sandwiches, etc. The food is good, but very heavy. Honestly, the place wasn't really my vibe. It was way too busy and chaotic.

I don't normally leave reviews, but it was so so bad I need people to heed my warning and not let…read morethis place rob you of what a good breakfast bakery in Puerto Rico can be. The good thing first- the line goes through fairly quickly considering how busy they were the day I was there, Sunday July 19, 2026, and parking was plentiful. Service was fine, cleanliness was good. The bad. Way overpriced for this region. There are plenty of bakeries in Puerto Rico offering the same things at half the price. The worst. The food quality sucked. Jugo de China Natural usually means squeezed to order. It was squeezed ahead of time and served with ice without being asked. Fresh squeezed orange juice is best served room temp. A good one will still be a little foamy on the top with very low acidity Ham and Cheese on Mayorca Bread- a staple of PR breakfast. Traditionally served pressed with a little powdered sugar on top that caramelizes a little because of the pressing. This one had a ton of floury tasting powdered sugar on the top and bottom of the top and inside the top and bottom of the bread, not normal at all. And for whatever reason, mine was served with the insides of the bread out side but I saw others that weren't served that way. So strange. And the ham was oddly pale. Also, no knives or forks to be found, so the extra sugar was extra confusing Quesitos- I ordered 4 to take out. I should not have. They went straight to the trash. The dough was severely under baked and soggy yet the filling was dry and crumbly without barely any sugar on top to offset the cream cheese. Arroz con Dulce- overly sweet and watery. Also went straight to the trash. Should be a little thicker from the starch of the rice combining with the sweet milk as it cooks. It tasted like they cooked the rice separately and then added cinnamon, evaporated milk and a ton of sugar without heating it. Not even a hint of vanilla to be found. For $44 dollars before tip. It was straight disrespectful to tourists and locals alike. I hope they improve because there is nothing worst than a popular spot resting on the laurels of a good location PS- The Habichuelas Escabeche were good.

In my experience, when you visit a major city and see a spot with a line out the door and down the…read moreblock, you know there's something special about it. Anita Gelato is one of those places. Hands down, this is the best gelato I've ever had, and I say that as someone who tried every gelato spot I could find in Rome and Florence last summer. Somehow, this place in Puerto Rico blew them all out of the water. The variety of flavors is fantastic, the staff are incredibly friendly, and they let you sample everything. Honestly, the hardest part was picking a flavor because they were all so good. The portions are generous, and the shop is cute and colorful. Even with so many customers, the staff stayed calm, organized, and handled the volume extremely well. The line may look intimidating, but it moves pretty quickly. Trust me, it's worth the wait! My favorite was the Chocolate, Pistachio & Kataifi.

Although the pork was a bit dry, the avocado and chocolate sauce rounded it out. Got a ham and egg burrito for my sons and they both enjoyed splitting it. Was VERY large. Wife enjoyed her Puerto Rican Bowl a lot. I personally thought the pork, again was dry, but she didn't seem to mind. Ended it with a lava cake. We ordered it after eating everything and it took A LONG time. Granted, that just means it's fresh. Just didn't expect it to take 20+ minutes. So PRO TIP: Don't order it after eating. Order it early.

The chocolate ketchup was surprisingly decent, but I wasn't standing up yelling, "GET THE SCIENTIST!". Somebody put chocolate in ketchup and I handled it pretty well. Also got an Old Fashioned with chocolate dripped around it. It was fine. The atmosphere was hectic. I went alone, so I was just sitting there holding my little chocolate whiskey while everybody else had people who knew where they were. Couldn't eat upstairs either. I really wanted to. Don't know whats up there. Writing this out, I realize "this place won me over" might be generous. We reached a ceasefire. I'd give it 3.5 stars, rounding to 4 because I ordered the most basic thing available and can't make that everybody's problem. Might come back next time I'm in San Juan and actually participate in the concept.
