★★★★★ 5.0 Julia Nelson Gordon · Feb 2026

I had really high expectations for this place. I drove more than 30 minutes to visit, and honestly, it did not disappoint. The maletas are delicious, and there are so many topping options that make the experience even more fun. After choosing your maleta, you can dip it into a chocolate coating and then add 1 to 3 toppings like Oreo cookies, peanuts, almonds, or pistachios. Everything was really tasty, and the staff was very friendly. Definitely worth the drive!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Daniela Susanne · Sep 2025

We visited for the first time and I really love the idea and concept. Unfortunately, I have to say that the young lady behind the counter was not very friendly. Despite several attempts, we could not get a smile from her, and she seemed more annoyed than helpful when we asked questions. I chose Mango, and I personally did not enjoy it. I expected a smooth texture, but there were lots of chunks in the ice cream, which I did not like. My friends tried Strawberry Cheesecake and Oreo, and they were really impressed. By the way, $17 for our two ice creams was far too expensive.

We enjoyed every flavored we tried! Banana - Nutella, mint, Dulce de leche and passion fruit with condense milk. I recommend this place and hope everyone gets a chance to try them.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ethan Alexander · Feb 2026

Absolutely terrific experience. The owner is an absolute joy, the cookies and cream flavor is fantastic. They have a rewards program and can also give you a free paleta on your birthday month. The area is very clean and well taken care of. Genuine 10/10

Very cool vibe in the shop. It has a very modern yet welcoming feel. Of course the treats were delicious as well. They make it right in front of you
