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.

Due to COVID restrictions only 1 party was allowed to enter at a time. The menu was conveniently posted outside so making a decision was easy before entering. Once inside there is a place to take temperature and sanitize hands ( this is very common around the island). After placing our order we were handed a beeper and waited outside. The weight was long, I'd estimate 10-15 mins. The ice cream was really good and I would highly recommend, just be prepared to wait.

It was such a delicious treat! This gelato shop is located on Ashford Avenue in Condado. There were…read moremounds of gelato with so many unique flavors & combinations. We just couldn't pass it up. So, let's talk about the history. It all started out as "Anita La Mamma del Gelato" in Tel Aviv back in 2002. "La Mamma del Gelato" that you see on the walls inside this shop represent the mother (Anita Avital) & son (Nir) duo who started it all. It's grown to many more locations to include NYC and Miami. There's even a sub-brand of Anita Gelato called "Golda Gilda" that is very popular in Israel. I have to be honest when stating that I've never heard of either gelato brands until seeing this shop near our hotel. We each decided to get the smallest cup size that includes 2 flavors. I selected Pavlova Mixed Berries and Chocolate Pistachio & Kadayif. There was a white chocolate version of it as well, but I decided to stick with the traditional milk chocolate. I don't remember what flavors my husband picked out. I'm pretty sure he enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed mine. I especially loved the chocolate pistachio one. That layer of pistachio cream & crispy kadayif was delightful. I didn't taste any pavlova in the mixed berry gelato, but it was still wonderful. They're very good about giving out samples for those who are unsure and want to get the perfect flavor. I wish we had returned to try more. It was a delicious & relaxing experience. The service was great. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. We fortunately arrived in the late afternoon when it wasn't too busy. Definitely do not pass this one up when in Condado.

We went three times during our 3 day visit (it would have been 4 had my partner had his way). Every single time we tried something new and I just want to say that this is good gelato. They gelato is delicious with unique flavors. The staff is always kind and works incredibly quickly to get people moved through the line. They are open what feels like all day and into the late evening. And it is reasonably priced for a good amount of gelato. Really, you can't go wrong here. I didn't encounter a bad flavor. Plus, they let you try flavors so give it a whirl before you decide. Definitely a place to stop in if you're in the area. Maybe even multiple times if you like it as much as we did. No shame!

They have an impressive menu with juices, smoothies, and lots of add-ons so you can customize your meal exactly how you like it. The waffle options looked amazing too, especially if you're in the mood for something sweet. We weren't craving sweets, so we went with a Caprese sandwich and added jalapenos--such a good choice, it was absolutely delicious. Alongside that, we had a cappuccino and a detox juice, both of which were excellent. We also ordered an açaí bowl, and it was super fresh and made just the way we like it. They serve everything in takeout-style boxes, and you can enjoy your meal outside on the benches, soaking in the open-air vibe and views. Definitely a spot worth checking out in Condado!

I was hoping they would be Liège-style waffles, but even so, they were still really tasty and perfectly cooked. My son loved them too, which made me even happier. The smoothie was delicious and refreshing. I think they used real fruit too. Plus, the prices were pretty affordable, which is always a nice bonus when traveling. The only thing I wish is that there was a place to sit inside, especially with a little one, but it's still totally worth the stop. There are benches outside, which isn't always the cleanest but the staff was nice and brought my food and drink out when it's ready. Overall, such a great find!

The biggest downside was the service--it was very slow. It took about 15 minutes just to place our order, and another 30 minutes for the food to arrive.

We ordered a veggie omelette with Swiss cheese and bread--it was okay overall, though the bread was on the sweeter side, which I personally didn't enjoy. My husband had a veggie omelette wrap, which was decent as well. We also got an orange juice, but it wasn't sweet. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but not particularly memorable either. If you don't have many options, it's worth trying--but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.
