Love this little latin ice cream, popsicles , fresh fruit and snacks shop. The decor is super fun and inviting. The line is never too long except in the summer. Always quick and delicious! I've been here a few times. A few months back they had a Dubai chocolate strawberry dessert that was freaking incredible. The agua frescas are so good. The horchata is my favorite. Come give this great shop a try ! I've even ordered them on door dash as well! Got some of their savory snacks to try. They came perfectly packaged and the ingredients separate when they could so the chips wouldn't get soggy. read more

This place is a prime example of Instagram versus reality. There really is no order to this place. They have so many things on the menu but nothing is really amazing. We got one scoop of ice cream and a strawberry slushy and it was $15. I don't mind paying for good things, but none of these things were good. The slushy was basically a chunk of ice with a little bit of syrup on it. The ice cream was nothing that was impressive. The staff was even more un impressive. I had to wave them down multiple times just to pay and they had zero interaction with customers zero personalities and it was just a fail. The amount of effort it took to park was not worth any of this. Definitely disappointed absolutely won't be back. read more

It was a hot day and we wanted to cool it up with some ice creams ! Good location in Cary .. they have seats inside to sit and eat. Nice interiors .. service was average . Not much crowd but it takes them time to take orders and deliver . They have lots of options . Ice creams , churros , sweet corn cups , milkshakes , cola sticks , slushy , fried plantains etc .. they were taking orders in Spanish and I didn't know :) asked for a strawberry fresh ice cream but ended up getting a strawberry with cream ! Kid got ice cream and it was good . Wanted to give 3.5 stars but gave a 4 ! Overall a OK experience . read more

This is a cute shop with bright colors, and a cheery interior. The menu is huge! They have everything from ice cream, popsicles, various desserts, beverages, food and more. I just came for ice cream, and got two scoops of the strawberry butter cream and Nutella banana. The flavor was lacking and pretty underwhelming. I also felt the price was a little high for the portion. It seems like some of the other dessert items might be more popular and highly rated. If you are just wanting ice cream, there are better options. read more

This is one of our favorite dessert spots where you can get something for everyone and where you can find unique Mexican flavors. Ambiance is pretty generic inside with a couple of tables. There's usually a line plus there's a lot of made to order items so there may be a wait but it's definitely worth it. Their agua frescas are wonderfully refreshing on a hot day. They have Mexican ice cream made in house as well as paletas & rolled ice cream. There's also light snacks like Mexican street corn and French fries. If you like fruit, they have lots of options too. If you're really ambitious, get the Sandia loca...crazy watermelon. It's a half a watermelon with additional fruits served Mexican style with tajin & chamoy. My favorite is the mangonada...there's fresh mangoes, mango sorbet with tajin and chamoy. It's spicy, savory and sweet. ...& don't forget to try the amazing sundaes!! Didn't get a pic but the churro sundae with a freshly made churro was absolutely amazing! read more

Stopped in for ice cream on my way home today. I got the churro sundae. I tried a scoop of the key lime pie and a scoop of the Reese's. The ice cream was okay, nothing super special but the churros were delicious! The sundae has hot fudge and whipped cream on top, and there was fudge all along the inside of the cup which was a nice addition. That also put chocolate and nuts on the rim of the cup too. Service was good, the lady who helped me was really nice. Ice cream - 6/10 Churros - 8/10 read more

***FOOD: dessert galore. Exotic ice creams, home made popsicles. Churros. Every conceivable Mexican dessert and combo and then some. So much to try. We got a couple of popsicles & the churro & ice cream combo. Wow. So delicious. Craveable. Save room after your dinner and come here for dessert. Yum ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $ the churro & ice cream was $12 Good deal when you think of dessert at a restaurant can charge $10-$15 for a tiny cake. ***DÉCOR: kaleidoscope of colors, gives it a fun carnival festival feel, tables inside & picnic tables outside. Plenty of of parking in strip mall ***SERVICE: initial staff didn't speak English. Had to call a relative? over to translate. It was all good. ***RECOMMEND: HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Would definitely go back. read more

Casual joint with soo many snacks & desserts. We tried the churro shake which was alright but it ended up being too liquidy. The fried cheesecake was pretty good, I did like that, I was not impressed with the ice cream though. I think they'd be benefit from updating & consolidating their menu. read more

The hubs came across a TikTok that featured a dessert from Vida Dulce and couldn't stop thinking about it. So we decided to go check it out and see what it was all about. I got the ice cream donut with caramel ice cream. The caramel ice cream was amazing!!!! I really wish I had gotten just a dish of that. The donut was a yeast donut with chocolate icing on top. They slice it in half and place the ice cream in the middle (like an ice cream sandwich). It is then topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. The donut to me made the dish feel very heavy. I think if the donut was warmed it wouldn't make it feel so dense and heavy. Granted it would make the ice cream melt but I think that would only make the donut that much better. The hubs got the cheesecake burrito with strawberry butter ice cream. The cheesecake burrito was so good. The filing nice and creamy and the burrito perfectly crispy. The strawberry butter ice cream was good. The butter part made us pause but it in no way tasted like butter. lol We both really enjoyed our dishes and will definitely be back to try other items from the menu. read more

I've been hearing so much buzz about the ice cream here and used GPS to find it. Not where I expected it to be and in a quieter location than I expected. That's ok. It isn't keeping customers from flocking to it for their tasty treats! We each got a small cup of ice cream and really enjoyed it. Everyone who works there is wonderful, friendly, and helpful. Even when it's crowded they kept things moving without anyone feeling rushed. Nice! read more

The price point can appear to be a bit high compared to some other ice cream stores. However, you need to see the size of some of these orders. Get the churros. It's crispy and hot so it'll pair nicely with the a scoop of ice cream. Also, stay safe with your ice cream pairing choice. I was "adventurous" and tried the oreo in the strawberry ice cream and my taste buds didn't know what was going on. I also got the chocolate dipped banana. I didn't know it would have sprinkles on it since I didn't take the time to look into the glass before I ordered. I would prefer it without the sprinkles. If I had to choose all over again, I'll get a popsicle. For a popsicle or a chocolate dipped strawberry, it should cost around $3. read more

Pretty mugs for sale A cute watermelon themed, in colors, ice cream spot. They offer a wide range of dessert options. I had a passion fruit popsicle. It had no toppings, was very sweet, and nothing too much more to it. Everyone else in my party ordered ice cream and the flavor was there, but plain. Raspada, the sweet one. A massive dessert served in a tall cup. My bestie thought it was okay until it started to melt and then it really watered down the flavor and was gross. She was trying something new and it didn't workout in her favor. If we did go back we would probably try another dessert. Even so, they didn't have any napkins and I felt like it could have been a little cleaner. Overall, if you like Mexican dessert this is your place but if you just want ice cream this might be the place to skip. read more

This place was bussyyyy on a Saturday evening. For starters the menu is a bit overwhelming because they have a lot of things on it. No inside seating just a few tables outdoors. Me and mom decided to share the churros sundae which came with our choice of ice cream we just chose Oreo and vanilla. The churros came with it , the outside had chocolate with nuts coated on them and I feel like something else was in there but can't remember. It was good though and we finished it at. Depending on what you get it can take awhile so cuddoos for the staff for keeping busy on a Saturday and being friendly . read more

This is the real deal for dessert! I haven't had anything like this in the area or ever! I usually stop in for the ice cream bars. The bars are freshly made with lots to choose from. I am impressed with the number of items on the menu. It's like a non-stop menu! It's a bit overwhelming but the cool part is that everyone seems to be ordering something different. My favorite is the fruity pebble ice cream bar. If it's your first time, that's what I recommend. It tastes like a fresh bowl of cereal. I usually get that and random flavor. I take 2 popsicles for the full dessert experience. The workers are always welcoming and kind. The place is usually packed during the summertime. I try to come early to avoid the line. This place is a hit! Don't sleep on it! read more

What a selection! Peering into the case with such a variety of gorgeous looking popsicles is quite a scene. They have a number of dairy free options or those with milk. My favorite so far has been the coconut one - it is loaded with coconut flakes and truly delicious. The spicy mango one is also a favorite as well. I have only gone here for the popsicles, but one of these days I have to try some of their other foods that look fantastic as well. read more

Came here for the first time every last week and so sad it took me this long to come here. We got the crazy cucumber which had fried peanuts, chamoy, takis, chili lime seasoning and tamarind bites. This is probably one of the most refreshing snacks I've ever had. My bf got the mangonada, a classic. It was delicious. We even came back the next day and got Oreo churros. I can't wait to come and try the savory foods. PS, they sell gummies covered with Chamoy at the register. We got those as well and they are seriously the best. read more

This place is great! What a perfect addition to this already ethnically diverse area of Cary. They serve all sorts of desserts and snacks, but I am most impressed by their popsicles (palettas). They have such a wide range of flavors, I'm sure you'll find something that interests you. I've tried the guava, pistachio, and Mexican chocolate palettas, and enjoyed all of them. There were chunks of guava in the guava paletta, and it wasn't too sweet. The pistachio had whole pistachio nuts in it, and the flavors were awesome. The Mexican chocolate had some heat to it, so beware! I liked the spiciness paired with the chocolate, but it's not for everyone, and it's definitely not your Locopops Mexican chocolate, either. The service is quick and friendly, and the place is nice and clean. Very kid friendly as well. Who doesn't like ice cream and popsicles? I'll definitely be back! read more

Love the Mexican street corn/elote. The ice cream tacos are amazing as well. They have really good agua frescas/drinks.

Everything is made fresh there and you can tell - it is so delicious. They had something like 65 different popsicles - so hard to to choose what to try because they all looked so delicious. Can't say much other than you NEED to try. It's so good. Fun atmosphere, delicious treats. I actually don't like things super sweet, where it's just a bunch of sugar dumped into things versus flavor and taste but there options were just right. We will for sure return! They also have a few savory options too! Staff was super friendly and patient. read more

Delicious, colorful treats made with fresh, flavorful ingredients. After seeing Vida Dulce pop up on yelp, we planned a trip to stop by. It's in a nearby plaza in Cary but I had not noticed it there before. After walking around in the hot NC summer, I craved one of their aesthetic popsicles I had seen in all their pictures. Parking is easy and when we walked into the establishment we were greeted by a colorful, spacious room. There were several other customers there who were eating their desserts or waiting for them. We were first in line, but stepped out of the way to look at the menu. There were numerous options to choose from. The ice cream tacos were very tempting, but I decided on a cactus pear popsicle. The popsicle was fresh, flavorful, and refreshing. The prices are reasonable and the popsicles are already made so they are quick to order/receive. We also ordered another item (shown in the picture). I do not remember what it was called. It was a little tricky to eat, but was tasty. We hope to return soon to sweeten up our life and try some of their other tempting Mexican style desserts! read more

We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine: Parking: 5 Location: 5 Decor/ambiance: 5 Customer Service: 5++ **PERFECT FIVE STARS - AND I DON'T DO THIS OFTEN!** **THEY HAVE NON DAIRY OPTIONS FOR VEGANS** Imagine succulent juicy fruits submerged into sweet fruit water chilled with ice. Imagine several double stuffed original Oreo's frozen sleeping in a creamy almond milk mix. Imagine walking into a place that has all of this and much more! Vida Dulce is amazing! I stopped by on a random Sunday night and found myself in heaven! Karen, Erika and Eric were all super awesome and amazing to work with. There is lots of awesome parking out front of the store. The location is cool. This spot sits back in a little shopping center in Cary. Its really quiet and clean! The decor of the store and ambiance is great. They have really awesome live colorful images of ice cream figurines on the wall. They also have these really cool digital displays above that give the place a modern edge. I'm a stickler for customer service and Vida nailed it! Karen and Erika allowed me to sample a few items. I only came to purchase ONE Popsicle but ended up sampling the Fruit Water and took home a cup of that too. I recommend getting the Oreo pop! Its so yummy! Its a delicious cream that taste so awesome. I also recommend grabbing the mixed fruit pop! It jam packed with all sorts of yummy fruits. Also be sure to grab yourself a cup of the fruit water! Its a twist on fusion water that I had never had before. read more

My friend was looking up places that served up ice cream in the Cary area and came across Vida Dulce. When we saw the fancy dessert creations that they served we knew we had to stop by. Walking into the place, I was impressed that they were following COVID regulations well. All workers were masked, seating inside was closed and there were no ice cream samples being given out. Overall, I felt very safe ordering from them. We ended up ordering a few of their dessert creations including the donut sundae, churro sundae, rolled ice cream taco and the churro sundae milkshake. Overall everything was very good. My donut was a bit dry but the ice cream was very good. I would definitely come back just for the ice cream and maybe for their pops. If you're looking for a family-owned ice cream place in the Cary area this is definitely a place to visit. read more

This ice cream shop and paleteria just opened up behind the Bojangles on Chatham Street in a little plaza. Inside the small storefront, the place is pretty big with a nice assortment of drinks, ice creams (nieves) and popsicles (paletas).

I love the variety of options at vida dulce; so many delicious treats to choose from! Our friend ordered the fried cheesecake with strawberry ice cream. The outside was crispy and still warm. Yum; it was so tasty. I must say, her cheesecake was my favorite. I got the Mexican chocolate popsicle and it was chocolatey and spicy (perfect). My boyfriend got the mango dairy-free popsicle and a strawberry dairy-free popsicle for his daughter. We love that that offer dairy-free options. We also ordered some fries, but they were the only disappointing item of the evening. The fries were too plain. Though, Vida Dulce is a great option for some Mexican flavors. read more

I was so excited to go to this spot while visiting the Triangle. One of my favorite food bloggers posted about her experience here which is how I learned about it. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I waited in line only to be passed over by the wait staff when it became my time to order. I stepped forward as I assumed someone else would help me. Minutes went by and others behind me were helped. I made eye contact with multiple staff members behind the counter and by the third or fourth time this occurred I was assisted. This set off bad vibes. I got the frutas mixtas paleta. It was beautiful and what I needed on a warm day. There was only a light flavor but it was a healthier choice as opposed to the dairy based options. However, my takeaway from this visit is that all customers are not treated equally. Therefore, I probably will not return. read more

This was my first time at Viva Dulce. I've read great reviews about this place all summer and their popsicle so I decided to give this place a try. We had Oreo Churros - filled with creamy goodness, so warm, perfect texture. It reminded me of the yummy fair food We also tried the nachos from their snack menu - pretty good for the $ we pay. Lastly I also ordered a mango pineapple smoothie (without diary) and no added sugar. It was perfect and freshly squeezed right in front of us. I need to go back soon for some more desserts. Their menu is huge, they also have fries Oreos and everything so fresh and flavorful. read more

I am another review that is going to go against the popular opinion of this spot. We were a tad overwhelmed with the options and lack of descriptions. Also, placing our order was disorganizedd. We ordered a mango fruit slushy and cheesecake burrito. I've seen a lot of these desserts featured on Instagram, what we got fell short of expectations both presentation and flavor wise. The popsicles seem to be very popular here, I'll give those a try next. read more
