Such a fun shop in the middle of Merida! A cash-only shop in the heart of Merida with an amazing…read moreassortment of locally influenced flavors. With a traditional and delicious Mexican ice cream base, Pola fully leverages the bounty of delicious local ingredients to come up with the most creative flavors! I was able to try an ice cream flavored with their local Sour Orange used in cochinita pabil, and my wife was able to try their take on a local pumpkin and even a local mushroom! All flavors exceeded my expectations and made me wish I returned each day to try a new flavor. Instead of a tourist shop serving heaps of Oreo-flavored gelato, you will be greeted with a friendly smile and a touch of the Yucatan. Something I would recommend to any local or visitor to this area.

Have you ever wondered what blue cheese gelato would taste like? Well, you are in luck my friend!!…read moreThat is only one of many flavor choices available here! Service is friendly and helpful. Overall a very nice stop on a hot day, one of the few places that doesn't have the music so loud you have to scream at the person sitting next to you.

From Chicago, first time at D&S tonight. Here are my thoughts:…read more -We were walking down the Paseo de Montejo on a Friday night looking for an after dinner dessert. -My wife said, "What are all those people doing over there?" So, we walked over and found D&S! -There was live music--a great little two man band playing outside--and we quickly got seated. -I ordered the pina sorbet and it was a good amount, very light, and delicious pineapple flavor. -Service was great. Highly recommended!

The first time I went to Merida I walked by this shop several times. It was always full, no matter…read morethe time of day. I wrote it off as a tourist stop and didn't try it. Fast forward to my second trip to Merida and a local recommended Colon on the first day of my trip. This place has been around for over a hundred years, so clearly they are doing something right. I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. The sorbet at Colon is so refreshing on a hot day in the Yucatan (read: every day in the Yucatan). I was afraid it would be too sweet, but depending on the flavor, it is more light and refreshing. I love corn flavored desserts, so the corn was probably my favorite. The mamey is one of their signatures and it is very sweet (because mamey is very sweet) but I think it's worth trying because it is so unique. It's like brown sugar sweet potato sorbet. The ambiance is old fashioned and lively. I highly recommend stopping when you're walking the boulevard.
