    Really unique desserts here! I tried the yuzu/white peach/jasmine tea sorbet, which was probably the most interesting flavor combination I've tried in a dessert before! Their recommended toppings for the sorbet were also great! They also have pre-packaged popsicles which all have unique names and shapes. I got the hand of Jamie Lannister, Mano Dorada, which was a blood orange and mango popsicle. I loved the creativity of the desserts here! Between the two, I liked the sorbet more!

    For super creamy ice cream in Barcelona, visit Rocambolesc located right on Las Rambla, Barcelona's main street through its city center. This street is a huge tourist attraction dotted with souvenir shops, hotels, and restaurants. Think Kalakaua, but so much bigger. My daughter and I ordered soft serve in a cone with toppings. She went with vanilla and I had the apple pie. I should have asked for a sample because it was too sweet for my taste, but I couldn't stop eating it because I just loved the creamy texture. Up to three toppings are included in the price.

    The ice cream melts in your mouth you must try this place while on a tour the tour guide told us about a Michelin star restaurant and how the chef's brother owned an ice cream store and said we must try it so we did. It did not disappoint from the experience to the taste it was one of my fav ice creams on the trip.

    Great soft serve ice cream. We stopped in twice during our visit to Barcelona. It's right in the Ramblas, so unfortunately it can get busy, but it's worth the wait. Favorite flavor was the apple pie one - which was great with their recommended toppings of two types of apple and some shortbread cookies.

    We got a few items here and they overcharged us by more than $200. We noticed it in our credit card account and tried to contact them numerous times but they continue to ignore us. Buyer beware.

    Nice place with friendly service. The soft serve sundaes are cute, but not the best flavor. It's alright when you're in the area and get a sweets craving! Too bad there's nowhere to sit.

    Delicious treat after some amazing tapas. The gentleman working here has amazing recommendations for flavor pairings and we loved both of our combinations. Order: chocolate with crispy strawberries, almonds, and cookies, yogurt with sugar mint, crispy strawberries, and honey crisp

    5 stars! A great ice cream shop, located right on La Rambla. On this street, there are tons of options but after trying this once you'll see why it's different than the rest. There are a few flavors of soft serve to choose from. We chose the vanilla which is more like a vanilla bean. Then if you choose toppings, you can have up to 3 for about .5cents more. I chose the candy stars (basically sprinkles), roasted closed almonds and chocolate chips. See the photo I added-- this place is a must if you're looking for a good dessert in the area.

    Went to El Celler de Can Roca a few days before, so had to try their ice cream shop as well. I got two scoops in a cup without topping - it's not quite gelato, not quite soft serve. It's a firmer soft serve. Anyhow the flavours were great - a tart rhubarb mixed with a sweet apple. The decor is minimalist, and there's really nowhere to sit so you take to go.

    So many toppings!

    Amazing! We had the baked apple soft serve and it was so delicious. We added baked apples, butter cookies, and candied hazelnuts as toppings. Highly recommend!

    I don't even like ice cream or sweets and I CRAVE Rocambolesc. It's always a must on my trips to Barcelona. I've never had a dessert experience at this caliber and I love crafting my personal masterpiece with the fine ingredients. The staff that I've encountered is super friendly and they help to create the masterpiece in an artful way taking utmost care and precision. Rocambolesc is a true gem

    Sweet little ice cream shop by the main Ramblas line. They have a variety of ice cream flavors and gourmet popsicles. The popsicles are in different shapes like you would see at an ice cream truck. However, it tastes really good and was made very skillfully. I recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

    Cool concept average results. Lacking in execution and crazy foodie flavors usually don't need more than a couple bites.

    The ice cream is extremely creamy here! I don't know what they do to it but it's quite good! Give it a try!

    Came here today 1/4/2016. Kinda bummed. They don't have Horchata. And won't have it til March. Oh…read moreman March for real. Passed by three times and finally open and bam sorry we don't carry it. Ugh!! Lady was nice but pretty sad they don't carry it all year long.

    Yum.. I'm drooling thinking about their horchata and ice cream…read more I think they're mostly well known for their horchata - I saw people filling up empty liter bottles to bring home (pretty reasonably priced at €4). It's a little different than horchatas you typically get in the US - it's less sweet, a little nuttier.. like someone said in a previous review, it reminded me a lot of Chinese soy drinks. We also had ice cream here - soo delicious! One of the staff told us that the 2 most popular flavors were the almond flavor and the llet merengada flavor. The latter is some kind of milk-based ice cream (it translates to "milk meringue"). They put cinnamon on it. I don't know what exactly is in the ice cream but it was so. amazing. Staff was great - patient and willing to explain the flavors to non-locals. It's a little chaotic there especially in the evening, but they've got a really organized system (you take one of those number tabs like at the DMV, and they call out your number when it's your turn). It was so good we had to come back again another day. Good thing we don't live in Barcelona or we'd be here all the time!
