Ah cravings - that's how I ended up at Morelia Gourmet Paletas.
Two weekends ago, I couldn't stop thinking about these sweet delights. I knew more and more locations had opened up, since my days of frequenting the Coral Gables location. What I didn't know was there were so many in Aventura. Two in the mall and this new one in Aventura Commons.
Originally we meant to go to the Hollywood location, but given that we're in the midst of a pandemic and you never know what's open or not, we called and called. No answer. I remembered downloading the Morelia app previously and found this one. Called a few times, got lucky with an answer, and opted to place our order through the app. On the way to the location, they called me as they were out of the cookie butter topping, and well, they wanted to know what they could replace it with. We opted for white chocolate and the happy recipient of this paleta loved it. Still, what impressed me is that they took the time to call. Amazing customer service!
More so, upon arrival, you can tell they're following the proper protocol given the pandemic. Staff was wearing gloves and masks, there's social distancing, signs all over the place, and can I just say this is probably the cleanest I've ever seen an ice cream shop? Just wow! Going in, they had only one other customer, and seeing as I had ordered through the app and paid, I went straight to the cashier and was given my order, consisting of three lovely paletas with a variety of toppings.
Have to say it was nice that these were ready to go. Even nicer is that these paletas last. Seriously, we ate two in the car, while the last one made it out alive from Aventura to Pembroke Pines without any melting. Oh, and did I mention they gave me a $5 off coupon for my next order of $25 and up? Yes, definitely returning soon!
