★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Epic Life · Feb 2026

I had high hopes for this establishment...it was dirty and the service was not warm or welcoming. It took a very long time to receive my bubble waffle ice cream cone. The lady kept remaking it because it didn't turn out right. At the end, the dough was not good and a bit overcooked. It was $11 for the product. The Hip Mall has a spot at the food court that makes this ice cream option at the same price, but it is tastier and has two scopes of ice-cream in oppose to one... I do not recommend this establishment and will not be returning.

Super cute dessert place! Previously ordered a few times, visited this place for the first time. Great ambience with both indoor and outdoor seating. They have variety of ice cream flavours, rolled ice creams, smoothies all handmade. We ordered a funnel cake with chocolate ice cream and 4 toppings. Loved it taste and texture. Their rum and raisins ice cream was also good, tasted more like a gelato. It's great for the price. Some of the staff barely speak English, so takes some time but they coordinated well. Overall amazing place, highly recommend visiting here.

D'Fruta La Vida is my go-to place for yummy sweets and delicious food. From the warm and welcoming atmosphere to the mesmerizing smells and sights, I can't reccomend this hidden gem enough!

I ordered a salad, it cost $20 on Uber Eats, and the fruit was spoiled. What a lack of respect.

D’Fruta La Vida is such a hidden gem! Honestly, it’s one of the best ice creams I’ve ever had. They have so many different flavors to choose from, and every single one is amazing. The manager, Millie, is super sweet and welcoming, which makes the place feel even more inviting. And it’s not just ice cream—they also have paletas, chips with cheese, aguas frescas, y mucho más. If you’re looking for a spot to treat yourself, this is definitely the place to go!
