Excelente lugar para comer helados. También ofrece postres, pero creo que no es su fuerte; por el contrario, los helados son deliciosos (me gustan más que los antojitos del cura). Hemos probado helado de mango, castañas, ron con pasas, chocochip. El pie de fresa es demasiado ácido. Y la guajina es para valientes (para un foráneo como yo, parece chicha de jora) El local no es lujoso, puedes comer helados por la noche, o un pastelito, al aire libre, y es agradable. Agrego fotos sólo de la Aguajina porque lo demás me lo comí demasiado rápido

Tienen buena atención, además que preparan deliciosos postres los cuales puedes disfrutar en las sillas al aire libre evitando el contacto con más personas e incluso puedes mandar a preparar ciertos pasteles
