I drive by this ice cream shop at least 4 times a week as a shortcut from North Hills to Capital and this is my first time stopping in. Super cute and authentic sweets shop. All of there popsicles are natural fruits, including a tropical fruits! They also have a ton of different ice cream flavors and micheladas. I went with the strawberry and cream with real strawberries! read more

La Michoacana Premium - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Ice cream is a bit icy but the flavors are good. The Victoria chamoy mango wasn't very ripe. Had ordered vanilla ice cream with gummy worms and rainbow sprinkles but ended up with peach rings for some reason (there were plenty of worms). The service was slow but there was only one employee working so that makes sense. The decor is super fun and colorful. Love the music (bad bunny etc) and huge selection of outdoor kids play equipment, photo ops are wonderful, and covered seating (umbrella tables). This is a great place for anyone and there is a wide variety of options ranging from paletas to banana split sundaes and Mexican slush desserts etc. I really feel like there is something for everyone. We did get a lot of mosquito bites while sitting outside and there are a lot of baby ants crawling over the seating area but I mean with hot summer days and melting ice cream it's inevitable. Super cute place and definitely recommend a visit. They also have free plastic la michoacana premium cups up front by the register and they sell random stuff like headphones and charging cables. When you first walk in I believe there is a currency exchange or credit union to your right hand side. It is tucked away on a somewhat busy road and the parking lot is somewhat small but we didn't have any trouble getting a spot on a Friday afternoon. They are located right next to La Tapatia which is a Mexican grocery store. read more

This is one of my favorite ice cream places in Triangle. I always forget what my go-to order is at La Michoacana, so I decided to leave a Yelp review for me to refer back to for my next visit. #24 Raspanieve with strawberry jam.... is life changing. You have to choose an ice flavor, but that is not that important in my opinion. Strawberry jam ice cream by itself is fantastic, but it tastes better with shaved ice! Service is fast enough. Each order, if you take a look at the menu, is quite elaborative unless you are ordering something simple. So the wait can take some time, but it's no biggie. There are lots of seating areas outside and inside as well. There are paper towels everywhere in case you drop ice cream everywhere like me. There are cute statues and decorations everywhere outside, and they are fun to look at. The outdoor seating area could be a little bit more clean. I will see you next time, La Michoacana! read more

La Michoacana Premium - #24. Raspanieve with strawberry jam ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Delicious ice cream, and so many flavors to pick from! They have other stuff too, but the ice cream was impressive! Really cool eclectic place. read more

This business sells a variety of desserts and treats such as banana splits, ice cream, and shakes. There were several tables inside and outside of the business. They have a very extensive menu of items that you can buy. I brought a strawberry shake that was topped with a piece of cheesecake with strawberry topping, whipped cream, and vanilla wafers. The way that the dessert is prepared made it hard to carry the dessert outside without fear of dropping something. The clerk was nice and provided me with foil to deconstruct my dessert. I ended up eating the desserts separately and having different desserts later. The cost for the shake with toppings was $15. read more

La Michoacana is a unique Mexican ice cream shoppe in the Midtown area of North Raleigh. It's tucked away on St Albans inside of an unassuming strip mall that features Latin eateries and bakeries. You can't miss the yard with all of the unique animals, Mexican flags, and ice cream decor. I was craving a refreshing ice cream after perusing the State Farmers Market. I wanted Latin style shaved ice. Upon arrival I took my time to peruse the menu and was greeted. I decided on the #24 Raspanieve. Raspanieve is a Mexican dessert consisting of shaved ice, flavored syrup, and sometimes fresh fruit and ice cream.Its very rich and dense and refreshingly cold for a hot day. The young lady at the counter was very beautiful and offered excellent customer service. She smiled and was kind enough to share with me all of the flavors. You must choose 1 flavor for the shaved ice and 1 flavor for the ice cream. I spent some time in the adorable yard that features a cute playground, and lots of outdoor seating. Once prepared I received a humongous cup of shaved ice topped with coconut ice cream. My family is from Jamaica, so coconut ice cream is a favorite of mine. This ice cream was some of the best I've had in a while. Huge coconut shavings ! The mango flavored shaved ice was so crunchy and cold ! This combination with the condensed milk is paradise in a cup. You can share this because it's so much for the value ! They are not skimpy and give you a lot of dessert . They also take their time making your cup beautiful. For the Quality and large portions you receive here, the price is just right ! I ordered a small which is actually a large for $9.73. It's not cheap but nothing worth having is in life. Pura Vida ! read more

First time here: a kid's paradise. Lots of animals and stuff to play on outside, a decent number of tables inside too. Lively Mexican music. The kid's ice cream treat photos are down where they can see them and easily pick what they want. Cups are Ice cream mixed with candy. Ice cream very good, especially cookies and cream. It was better than my milkshake which seemed a little watery. Yes a great place to take family. The tab for these three cups about $25. read more

Options are amazing...if they get your order correct the first, second or third time. I ordered a simple raspado and the first time they gave my order to someone else. The second time it was the wrong flavor and the third time was purposely over flavored (too sweet, not enough/melted ice). read more

I want to give a 3.5 but unfortunately no half star options. So for starters the menu is overwhelming it's about 54 options to choose from , not including the ice cream on display and other frozen treats. What I didn't like was no prices were posted. My drink was considering a small and was $12 and some change , the large size was $17 and some change. Overpriced if you ask me. The drink was ok , the strawberries in it weren't fully ripe. Only had one person working behind the corner and for a nice day outside the place can get a little busy. Outside in front of the store they had a lot of decorations and picnic tables to sit at. I've been to viva dolce in knightdale and this place lacks in comparison to them. Hey have to give some places a try one time and keep it moving. read more

I have been here a few times, and I really do like the ice cream. I prefer here over BR because I some of the ice cream choices are more flavorful. I will say that most of the signage is in Spanish, and not all of the staff are fluent in English, but they do have picture menus hanging from the ceiling. And Google works so you can look up what is inside. I will be sure to visit here a few more times. #469 read more

Ice cream, you scream... This is a little hidden gem tucked away off busy Wake Forest Rd. Raleigh doesn't have a shortage of dessert places, but I somehow hadn't heard of this spot. It reminds me of La Vida Dulce in Cary and Knightdale. The outside is bright with lots of animal carvings strewn around a small play area for kids. You won't miss the giant polar bear! There are about 10 parking spots in a small lot in front of the building (unsure what they do on busy summer nights). Upon walking inside you're greeted with lots of bright colors and a very large menu to choose from. (I was a bit overwhelmed.) Oddly, prices aren't listed anywhere, but my items seemed reasonably priced when added up. Look up to see a menu which has photos of the items, helpful given there is so much to choose from... ice cream, milkshakes (some crazy ones with a full piece of cheesecake on top), popsicles, frozen ice, churro sundaes, banana splits and more. The young lady who was working was very friendly and sweet. This would be a good spot for a family with kids, or even a date night. I'll be back to sample more from their menu. read more

This place was amazing. You could stand inside all day reading the descriptions of the unique treats and looking at the pictures, as well as taking in all the popsicles, ice cream flavors and sorbet. It was overwhelming-- hard to decide. So, for my first visit I went simple with two scoops of ice cream in a cup -- vanilla and strawberry jam. Both flavors were good, though the vanilla almost had a little coconut aftertaste. Every description was in Spanish and English which was nice. The only weird thing was that there were no prices anywhere! However, two scoops of ice cream were reasonable at around $5. I vow to be more adventurous next time I go back! read more

I love La Michoacana! They have such a unique style. Every time we have someone visit from out of town we take them here. It doesn't matter if you're an ice cream fan or if you prefer sorbet. You will find something to love here. From popsicles to ice cream to sundaes they have you covered. The entire place has a great vibe and the kids can enjoy the outdoors as well. They have Christmas lights outside that add a great charm after dark. Highly recommend! read more

What a magical place. When I imagine an ice cream shop this is what I want to see. A family run and operated shop that is geared towards bringing smiles to people's faces. The owner has built a playground out from for kids to play on so their children can not only enjoy their ice cream and treats but also get some time to play! The ice cream is house made and there are some many delicious and wonderful flavors! Milkshakes, ice cream, macarons, and so much more! It's amazing! Everyone was so extremely friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for an amazing ice cream shop to take your family, this is 100% the place to go. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I love the fruit cups from from the corner store in my home town so I was so excited to find this.

I will be back. read more

What a chill place to spend an afternoon. La Michoacana is a cool ambience to hang out in on a hot evening. We got there within 30 minutes of them closing, so shoutout for the staff - they were being so great. They were nothing but pleasant while we chose our treats. They have a large menu that is largely (99%) in Spanish, but don't be intimidated; there is photos so you can see what you're getting. The tables outside offer some nice lighting for some hand holding, too, which is a huge plus. read more

This place is amazing! My boyfriend found it online and it is quite the gem. The outside is fun, for kids, outdoor seating, the sun hits just right when its warm out. The inside is so colorful and the music is super enjoyable. The employees gave us a wonderful warm welcome, along with a water bottle! The selection is out of this world. The candy-fuego variety is delicious! They do have a lot of translated items but the pictures are not. The man explained some things we didn't recognize, so dont be afraid to ask! We will definitely be back soon! read more

Loved this place! Great setting, great service, and great desserts!! Lots of outdoor space for summer trips and no where crazy busy.

Great little ice cream spot! I loved the variety of flavors and the novelty of the place. I had guava and lime, which were closer to shaved ice or sherbet rather than ice cream, but the flavors were spot on! It tasted just like the fruit and was not overwhelming or too sweet! Exactly what I wanted. My wife got cherry and Mexican vanilla. She said the cherry was normal but that the Mexican was outstanding! I tried a little too and it was very creamy and had that perfect Mexican vanilla flavor (it was my personal favorite). I also sampled the avocado (amazingly delicious) and the cheese (wasn't a huge fan). Overall, this spot is fantastic and we'll be back when we're in NC again! read more

Only if you've never had good ice cream would you consider this good ice cream. Asked for a banana split and the banana was so ripe it was mush. I've been to many ice cream shops and this is definitely the worst! Asked for a churro and the churro tasted days old. Only one bathroom and no soap! Enjoy!! I'll stick to "Cary"! read more

This place is one of the most amazing places in Raleigh that i've ever been to, and I was born and raised here. It is the most amazing ice cream / yogurt / dessert style restauraunt i've ever been to. It was 3 miles from my house, and I was shocked at how amazing the variety of delectable treats looked, smelled and tasted. The building itself is a work of art that makes you smile instantly... and the art continues as you walk inside and everything is so clean and beautifully kept. And if thats not enough, the entire front yard was a mini park for both kids and adults. read more

I usually don't write reviews but this place made me so frustrated and upset on my birthday. I came in to order the milkshake i saw in a picture on their reviews that has a cheesecake on top. I got to the front of the line and one lady didn't speak English, but said no when i showed her the picture. She then turned to the other lady who appeared to speak a little more English and she said no. So i asked if they had milkshakes and she said it in Spanish. Everything in the store is written in Spanish and i don't know enough to know what the flavors are so i just said, nevermind, thank you and bye. So much for a nice sweet snack to end my birthday night. I don't understand why everything was in Spanish, i guess that was a sign that I wasn't really welcomed... read more

Went here after a stop to the La Tapatia market next door and I was floored by how BIG this place was! Their menu is also enormous - they have everything from paletas to pina coladas to churros. I got fresca con crema, cafe, pina con chile and mango con chie paletas (very spicy) to go. Also got to practice some of my gringa Spanish while I was there - would definitely come back again! When it's warmer they also have a really cute front patio area with string lights and a food truck! read more

We were visiting from out of town and had heard about this place. Everything tasted good but very disappointed they didn't have my first THREE choices of fruit flavors!

Small ice cream shop with unbelievable selections of ice cream, ice pops and cream Popsicles. Was very surprised at the amount of variety in the shop made it hard to choose. The staff very friendly, greeted me in Spanish not necessary to order very accommodating. Most of everything here is translated to Spanish and English for those of you with anxiety. They are abiding by covid rules, must wear mask, limited number of those in shop and distancing required. Shop is clean, outdoor seating plenty, parking is easy, they are right next to another market if you need groceries. Will definitely come back in the future as it is family friendly. Gracias por helados y atmosfera. read more

I don't know how this hasn't popped up on the review radar yet but if you like ice cream or popsicles then you should get over here. This is a Mexican ice cream joint that is off the main strip of Wake Forest Rd and in front of a granite shop. They may even share an owner since the interior had a lot of beautiful granite and marble everywhere. It's hard to know where to begin. I had just picked up my car from the mechanic with my family and we were all in the mood for ice cream. We saw this was close so we took a chance. Wow! First, the shop is so colorful and fun I was immediately ready for treats as soon as I walked in. They had long counters of all kinds of hand scooped frozen stuff. There appeared to be a large selection of non-dairy ices as well. To the far left were cases of ice cream popsicles that had fruit or cookies visible in them. Everything is in Spanish but it did not matter. They were incredibly helpful explaining all the flavors and giving samples. My boys got standard stuff, mint chocolate chip (very strong mint, I loved it but the wife said it was too much like toothpaste) and cookies and cream (really rich. obviously a premium, higher fat ice cream. So good). My wife got a tart yogurt popsicle that had large sliced strawberries and kiwi in it. She doesn't like things too sweet and was in love with this bar. I tried it and it was mildly sweet with a pronounced tartness from the yogurt. Now I have to apologize for not knowing what I got. He told me the name but I don't remember but I can describe it. It was this giant cup of fresh mango with scoops of a tamarind and chili flavored sorbet, some kind of tamarind syrup and chili powder on top. It blew my mind! It was spicy, sweet, savory, salty, and ice cold all at the same time! If you are over Wake Forest Rd way and are in the mood for a treat you have to give this place a try. It doesn't look like much on the outside but it has something for you wether you go for standards like my children or want to be more adventurous like me. I will be going back here. Oh, and they take ApplePay. :) read more

Hand churned Mexican ice creams and popsicles. Flavors are in Spanish and the selection is overwhelming but they are super friendly, helpful and generously let you try multiple flavors.

We can't wait to go back and try more! read more
