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 really enjoyed the paletas so much we went two times. It's a small town go shop…read more They have great flavors and some paletas are in different shapes, a straw hat, a tower. There's usually a line but it goes fast. They range in price starting at $4. Cash only if spending under $5. Highly recommended!!

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.

Holllyyyyy shizzzz favorite dessert place in Puerto Rico!!!!!!!!…read more They're really decent priced and they really work hard to make just one ice cream for you. It looks exhausting to be honest. There are so many options to choose from especially the amount of toppings there are. They're not the most premium toppings. For example one of the toppings I asked for brownie and I got crumbly brownies. I was like ew I regret this lol but my favorite toppings I found out are Nutella, Carmel, and almonds. There schedule is a little weird. Some days the don't open until 2 or something like that.

EXPECTATIONS WERE LOW. BUT. I made my own cup, chose taro ice cream and added pocky, condensed…read moremilk, and boba on top. I need to re-emphasize that I had such low expectations, especially for the taro ice cream, but it was excellent. It had that taro flavor that you wouldn't think a random ice cream shop in condado would get right, but. they. did. I loved that they let you add boba as a topping to the ice cream. I personally didn't try their boba drinks but having the boba with my ice cream definitely scratched the boba itch I had during the trip. My gripes with this place aren't really with the ice cream itself (though I am salty about the fact that 'pocky topping' is just two sticks of pocky jammed into the cup), it's mostly about the experience. Rolled ice cream is cool and all, but what we pay for isn't really the ice cream: it's the experience. Watching them pour the liquid ice cream onto the cold surface, chop it, spread it, and roll it is what we're paying for. And Below Zero has blocked off the area where you'd usually watch them work. I think maybe it's because of COVID that they blocked off half of the store, but it just feels disappointing. Was definitely pricey, but having good taro ice cream was worth it.

We stumbled upon this lovely shop after a nearby dinner and were drawn in by the cute sprinkle decor and expansive menu. Their ice cream case, which is guarded by a fun, funky little three-eyed mascot, features all the classics -- vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, oreo -- but also a ton of fun combos, including mascarpone stracciatella, dulce de leche, pandan, manchego, ube, and carrot cake. I was in the mood for something refreshing to combat the Puerto Rican heat and got one of their signature sorbets (although I have to admit I've already forgotten what it was). What I do remember, however, was that it was incredible -- it was super fruity, light, and refreshing, and the perfect epilogue to my dinner.

Depending on your preferences, you'll find something great for everybody. We look forward to visiting their location soon because discovering them was a wonderful surprise.

Mind you, not the nicest walk, lol a garbage truck was clearing garbage behind us so we finally waited until it passed so we didn't have to walk with the stench. We almost missed the ice cream store. There is a small seating area inside and outside. There was a small line but we happily waited. I went with a medium and chose the queen bee and the guava cookie crunch. I loved this! Wish we had these flavors in NY! I believe the ice cream is all made in house. It was creamy and the little bits added a nice texture. Glad the restaurant we were at only had flan!
