Nothing pairs better with a summer stroll than a paleta! Paleta = popsicle, btw. It was hot and we were doing a lot of shopping and bopping around, so we popped into La Fuente after eying it a few times. The line was long, but moved fast. You can do a grab and go of the pre-made paletas or opt for an ice cream. There isn't seating inside, but they had patio seating and really cute photo opps outside with the painted trees.
This is the place to get ice cream and popsicles. They had an awesome selection of traditional and local flavors. There are like 30 flavors of fresh popsicles to choose from! Must visit for sweets lover. Location: It's in La Paz town, on the Malecon (oceanfront street) and towards the end of town. They have tables and benches set up in front under the shade where you can enjoy ice cream and take in the ocean view. Ordering Procedure: you pay in advance at the register and take your receipt to get your goodies. One of the staff speaks good English and can help with flavors (most labels in Spanish). Payment in cash only, they will accept USD and Pesos. Ice Cream: you can get it in a cup, "cookie" cone or "cookie" cup (I say cookie as the texture is more like fortune cookie than typical US waffle cone. Fresh made on site). Ice cream is creamy and not overly sweet. We had the traditional Mexican Mamey fruit flavor that was soooo good! The pure fruit flavors are more granite/sorbet like. The Pitaya flavor was yummy too. Popsicles: we are our ice cream and then got popsicles. All the yummy traditional flavors. Choice of creamy or just juice pops. The creamy ones have slices of real fruit inside. Lots of Mexican local flavors, we got Tamarindo and Pineapple Chili Lime. Both excellent. Not too sweet and didn't melt too fast. We almost went for seconds in pops but was already high on sugar, so decided to limit ourselves to just one each. Loved it!! Would get goodies here everyday if we could and try all the yummy flavors.
Do not miss the amazing ice cream at La Fuente. I had a scoop of guava and one of toasted coconut. I was told this is small batch, artisanal ice cream with natural ingredients. The guava flavor was perfect with some guava seeds present. The toasted coconut had a slight caramelized sugar taste. I only had the day in La Paz so I could only try these two flavors. I believe there were 20+ flavors available and tasting is encouraged when deciding. read more

I'm so happy to see that this place is still up and running! It was one of my favorite spots for paletas and aguas frescas back in the summer of 2007. I've been on a nostalgic trip since my cousin and her husband have been visiting Baja Cali. La Paz is truly a gem, and I can't wait to visit again. Do they still have the tree out in front with the trunk painted white and colorful polka dots? I called it the "Twister tree" haha read more

Oh so good! We came twice on our trip. The line may look long and it's a bit hectic inside but it moves fast. You pay first and hand them your receipt and tell them your order. Toasted coconut was my favorite. The cones are thick and very tasty. Definitely worth a stop while in La Paz. read more

A yes. My family enjoyed the ice cream. They chose something very common, vanilla, oreo and coconut. I chose corn ice cream and nache ice cream on a cone. The cone was very like a waffle rolled up. I had never tasted any of these flavors. Everything is made in their facility. The service was good. They let me taste the ice cream before I purchased since I've never had any of these flavors. The location is nice. You can stroll on the melacon right outside. read more
