Delicious ice cream, creamy, large portion with the addition of a piece o chocolate (milk, dark or white) but you can only buy one flavour in this price - without mixing. Fresh waffel.

Very friendly and kind service. Beautiful view at the park with fountain. Shadowed places. Great coffee. Lady gave me to try their chocolate, you can buy it in the shop or in their other store where the Chocolate museum is located. Ice cream seemed highly demanded and yummy as well!

Delicious ice cream and friendly staff! Well worth a visit if you are in mijas, they had rum and raisin which I love and let me try it first. Also have a cute seating area outside with some shade too.

This place is a gem, serving probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had in my 63 years. It certainly made me happy PS: In addition, serving was huge, melted chocolate drizzle was a first, and pricing meant great value too.
