A must while in Tepoz. Hard to get the right flavors in the first order. Multiple visits needed.

It is a must! Something you really have to do. A huge variety, delicious; the decor, the people, the environment—everything is really pretty, totally different. How is it? Let me explain: You have to select which size you want and pay for it. After that, you'll go to the queue; be patient, the place may be crowded. There, you'll have time to select which flavor you want; there are a lot. Now they'll ask. They'll serve. Don't forget your spoon. Enjoy!

Great spot for an ice cream. Variety of choices when it comes to flavors! The ice cream is cheap and delicious. You have the possibility to seat indoor too! Nice and clean settings.

Nice cheap ice cream, kinda watery but I can't complain for the price. First you pay for what you want then you wait in line and give them your receipt to order. I waited almost an hour on a Saturday afternoon.
