Nieves Cinco de Mayo

Ordered the chongos and guayaba ice cream and they were delicious. I came towards closing time and the place looked very low energy but I was in the neighborhood and wanted some ice cream.

Best mangonada i’ve ever had.

We were in the mood for some helados and excited to find somewhere local to satisfy the craving. Pricing is good for the serving size. The items we tried tasted great: mangonada , raspado de limón, and cookies & cream. They have a nice selection of varied flavors.

Mary did such a delicious banana split ! , really good and so prettyy !!❤️

The fact that we were in San Francisco for 5 days and came here 2 of the days should say a lot. The mangonadas are amazing!! They are made a little different than I was used to but they are great!! They use mango ice cream which makes it perfectly creamy. I got the medium and could have been better off with a small because they overfill the cups which is awesome! My husband got the sandiloca which was a piece of art by itself. The fruit was so fresh!! I will definitely be coming back next time we come back to California.

I LOVE their variety of desserts which range from spicy to sweet! Their customer service is the best, but be patient when it’s a hot day because the lines get long lol.

Delicious!!! Ice cream, mangonadas, snacks, all yummy. The mint ice cream tastes like actual mint, vanilla has this great flavor, chocolate is has a hint of cinnamon, bubble gum was child approved and the mangonadas had so much mango in it you can have it as a meal.

My favorite sweet tooth spot in the Bay Area. Their snow cones* with pecan and coconut are awesome. 😋 *coconut snow cone aka Raspado de Nuez Con Coco Also the churros outside of the shop are also awesome. You can get them filled with vanilla or chocolate goo too! 😋

We arrived just after they had closed and the man was so kind he let us in and said we could order anything although you could clearly see they were all cleaned up. He even went as far as to make me a fresh lemonade with chia seeds. While he was making it his daughter and another woman arrived surprised to see customers given the time and they too were too kind. The daughter quickly jumped behind the counter and offered to open up all the ice cream lids to see if any looked more delicious. Customer service amazing, very clean, DELICIOUS ice cream and the prices compared to other similar locations are unbeatable. Parking is a little tricky but oh so worth it! Try the mango and maracuya you won't regret it. Will be returning to satisfy these cravings for sure! Thank you guys!

I was so excited I didn't even get to take a picture of my ice cream! They take both cash and card, with a charge. I tried passionfruit as well as soursop, the passionfruit was a lot creamier than the soursop, which seemed more like a sorbet texture. I do enjoy the unique flavors and menu items here, next time I'll have to get a mangonada!

The service was good. The ice cream was awful, it had no flavor and it tasted old. Don't waste your money here.

My Mangonadas were delicioso! The mangoes were great-a balanced mixture of texture soft and firm Mangoes. The owner and staff are nice and they are good to their customers. I appreciate their professionalism. When I am back in town, I will visit again. Oh!, I love bubble gum ice cream and their ice cream is really good. Thanks Gris

At first I was a bit confused where they are located. It's inside the Fruitvale public market. On a Sunday afternoon the wait was about 10-15 minutes. The parking was a bit of a hassle since it's street parking but was able to find parking down the street. I ordered a small mangonada which by far has been the best I've tried. Also since it's mango season the fresh mango was perfect. I also decided to try the Tejuino it's a beverage but It wasn't what I was expecting.

Located in the fruitvale public market building, this business sells ice cream, sorbets, and snow cones. You can find metered street parking nearby. I had intended to come here for the Diablito snow cone, but got the mango sorbet instead. A small cup comes with two scoops and was $3.00. They accept credit cards but will charge an additional fee. Pros: -friendly staff -handmade and 100% natural Cons: -n/a

This place is really good! I got the Rose Petal and Guava Ice Cream and it was refreshing and light the Guava still had the seeds the quality is great! To top it off the young lady that waited on us had a really good vibe one that makes you want some Ice Cream - my husband was undecided (after choosing Pistachio) he saw all the flavors and wanted to change he chose Prickly Pear (cool color) she encouraged him to try it first and good thing she did he didn't like it and she chuckled (she probably figured that) she could have served it up and let us leave but she didn't and I appreciated that! Give this place a try you won't be disappointed!

Delicious chamango delivered me from cravings. God bless this place. It was tasty and large in portion. The service was super nice.

Today, I took the Bart over to Fruitvale Station Oakland, CA. I was visiting a California historic home and after I was done, I went over to the market near Fruitvale station. I stumbled upon Nieves Cinco De Mayo in Oakland. That means that in half a year, I visited the two Nieves Cinco De Mayo ice cream shops in the Bay Area. This is a special ice cream shop in the Bay Area. It's the Latin ice cream shop. They have a very unique assortment of flavors. Today I had the dulce caramel and it was different. It was in a cone for $2 and the agua fresca guava flavor was $2. It's pretty inexpensive. It was a nice refreshing cold treat to end my visit in Oakland by the...Fruitvale station. Here's to Oakland!!

I've only had the bionico here, but it was really good so I'd go back. Also because it looked like they have some good ice cream flavors! Parking was a pain on a weekday afternoon and the place itself was a bit hard to find. There's a churro stand on the outside, go through the door next to it and it'll be on your left.

This is the most underrated ice cream shop in the Bay Area. One sunny afternoon, after running Lake Merit with my boyfriend, he says, "I want to take you somewhere", and so we start driving and pull up to the public market in Fruitvale. Not quite a market, but this little hidden gem is situated inside. They have an assortment of amazing(but unhealthy) Mexican snacks and desserts. Yes mangonadas, elotes, Tostolocos, raspados, and so many other options. Well if I wasn't trying to make wise life decisions about my health and wallet I'd be here every day! Favorites? - Rosa ice cream(every time) - tostilocos Hands down my favorite freshly made ice cream, it's one of those places that I crave constantly as a foodie. They accept cash and card. Parking can be tough on weekends, but just drive down the street a little further! Worth it to come here.

Just walking past and decided to grab a couple of cones. They make their own ice cream, and it's DELICIOUS! Friendly proprietor, great service, and fresh, yummy ice cream! Can't wait to go back.

The best spot to go to for Mexican antojitos! The staff is super friendly, they speak both Spanish and English. I usually go for their tostilocos but their ice cream is delicious as well. This week, I took my boyfriend and he ended up getting leche quemada ice cream flavor. We had both never tried it but it was actually super yummy!

Omg I am in love with this, their house made mexican style ice cream is so delicious. It tastes like I'm having fresh ice cream from México! I had their nuez and coconut scoop in a waffle cone. Only $3. I gave them A full $10. Places like here need to be supported! I highly recommend you try them, sweet people too!

My friends and I wanted something refreshing and sweet while we hung out in Oakland, and Nieves Cinco de Mayo offered all that at an affordable price. If you want unique desserts made from fresh produce on a hot day, this is definitely the place to go. It's located INSIDE Fruitvale Market, so it's easy to miss when driving by. My friends really enjoyed all of their desserts (I got the mango sorbete), but Mangonada seems to be the most popular among the regulars. Weather's warming up--make sure to make this a stop on a hot day!

On a very very hot day I had the good fortune to be close to these guys so I jumped upon the chance to have a cold treat. I got the mango, tamarind raspado (w Chile, lime and chamoy sauce) and it was out of the world refreshing. So perfectly balanced- sweet, tart, spicy. it's like a hole in my palate- heart has been filled (I know how it sounds. I will say it again. Probably only about this beauty). And a decent size for 4$! To top it off, the lady there was so nice!! Not even smiling or anything - she just could've been mean because of how indecisive I was since I wasn't familiar with the offerings there, (and I asked for more syrup in my already full cup because I was stupid and didn't realize that sweet stuff would be at the bottom :/) and I had barely anymore than 4$ in cash so I didn't leave a big tip. But she was nice though all of that. She took my broken Spanish, just enough cash and gave me the best treat of the day (weekend? Week ?). Tip: carry cash.

Nieves Cinco de Mayo offers a great cultural experience through food and desserts - I love this spot! My favorite spot for Mangonadas! Afforable and comes in different sizes. This place does accept card as well! Line gets backed up cause this place is poppin but the staff tends to work quick. There's a small patio outside where you can eat and enjoy! I also got a Tostiloco with my brother and a friend and 1 is definitely enough for 2-3 people. Being a first timer eating Tostiloco, I was intrigued by the texture and flavors of each ingredient combined! Nieves Cinco de Mayo is perfect for a sunny day! Can't wait to come back! If parking in the neighborhood gets complicated, AC transit is one way to do it, or park at BART and walk over (BART is free on the weekends).

Fantastic fruit, sorbets, ice cream- everything is great. I believe I went here 2x in 2 days just because it was so fantastic. The first day, my fiancee had a mangonada and I had a sandiloca. The sandiloca was good, but had too much non-watermelon stuff as a ratio to the watermelon. The mangonada is delicious and they pack on the mango. The next day we went (ha), my fiancee had a sorbet and I had mint ice cream (yerba buena). The mint was so good and refreshing on a hot day, I loved it. The sorbet was excellent as well. Definitely love this place, and love supporting small businesses in fruitvale like this. Go here!!!

Review #214 - 2018 This review is based solely on their mangonada. I've had this place bookmarked for who knows how long; but I kept pushing it off because I am rarely in the area and whenever I do drive by, parking is a disaster. Since I was able to find a parking spot out front, I thought I'd just shoot two birds with one stone. I got my churros and walked over to grab a mangonada. Luckily, the line wasn't too long so I didn't have to wait more than two minutes. At first I thought it was kind of pricey, but after tasting it, I didn't mind paying $7.50 for a medium. The mango ice cream was so yummy. You can definitely taste the real mango juice, not artificially flavored like some places. The mango chunks were fresh, sweet and plentiful. I had a piece of mango in every bite even up to the last bite. Such a nice treat for this warm summer weather. I'll definitely be back to try their other ice cream flavors as well. I was kind of disappointed that I didn't ask to try their (seasonal) durian flavor since I was in a hurry.

Hidden little gem in the hood. They now take cards, thank you Jesus! Get your ice cream, mangonadas, or sno-cones on! Lines form quickly but the employees seem to stay on top of it. Boom.

I've searched far and wide for a mangonada of this stature!! There's really nowhere else like it. The mango sorbet is perfect, I'm usually on the fruity side when it comes to desserts and drinks. There was so much perfectly ripe mango. And the tamarind candy sticks really took me somewhere, they are so nostalgic for me growing up as a kid I loved these! I'll definitely be trying some tostilocos on my next visit.

I saw this by accident as it is tucked inside the market building. I got the $3 small cup with two flavors, tuna cactus fruit and Mamey. It was quite large two scoops for the price. The cactus fruit was more sorbet icy texture while mamey was more milky texture. A lot of people got mangonada so I am pretty sure it is good.

I never tried Mangonadas before. When I looked at yelp for it, I saw that this place had 4.5 stars. I was very excited to try it. I ordered a large one and didn't realize it was so big. It was pretty funny because when the cashier asked me what size I wanted I said large. She questioned me again, just to make sure. I didn't realize the cup was big as my boyfriend's head! If we paid attention to the cup sizes before, I think we would have opted for the medium instead. I loved how there was plenty of chili with every bite of chili, it added so much flavor to it and it complimented it so well with the sorbet. I loved how they added ice to it so when the sorbet starts to melt, it is still cold. It is great for a nice day out when it's a little warm outside. The only downfall is that it is hard to find parking.

Came here last week and decided on the mangonada. Which was super delish!! My son had the raspado de fresa also hella good tasted like they put real fruit in it. My daughter had the tostilocos and she kilt those!! Everything was good!!

The midday sun beaming down on us & thousands of other San Francisco Carnaval goers had us searching for the nearest cold refreshment. We fell in line with the half dozen or so people at the Nieves Cinco de Mayo cart. We shared a scoop of Elote ice cream in a waffle cone which tasted like fresh corn shucked off a cob, & a small Magonada which had a combination of soft, ripe mangos & firmer, less ripe chunks. Sweet & slightly savory, both cold treats were freakin delightful.

The mangonadas here are perfect for a warm sunny day. Got a medium for $7.50, and it was plenty for 2 people. The creamy mango ice cream and the sorbet somehow goes really well together along with the chili. It's not spicy, not overly sweet, and is overall amazing. Best mangonada I've had, although I haven't had that many... I was going to add a picture of my mangonada, but there are already tons of them on here that look exactly like mine did. They're very consistent in both aesthetic and taste.

My favorite is the mango sorbet- definitely tastes like it was made with real mango and not artificial-tasting. Affordable and great customer service!

Its my first time here. And I will be a regular customer ..the daughter and mother work there as well.as their father . The daughter told me its a family business. So I left a tip after my big order happily. They were so respectful and the mangonanda and a Sandi loca its called . Was sooo good. There working so hard even during a pandemic so please stop by and try something you won't regret it. Prices are so decent as well. Thank you for your service ..keep up the great work.

Love this place! They have amazing nieces and corn on the cup! Will definitely recommend!

My go to place for mangonadas and cheap house-made ice cream. At $1.50 a cone, I don't feel too guilty about indulging. I always get the chongos (curdled milk) or rose if I'm feeling something lighter. Mangonadas come in generous portions for the size and best part is the mango sorbet. One time I came and a guy asked for an extra tamarind straw, the lady gave it to him at no charge (so nice!) only thing I don't like is the shaved ice they put in there is usually frozen into a block that you can't hack with a plastic spoon. In general the ice cream isn't very creamy which I'm ok with. But my friend ordered the lemon flavor and it was basically like frozen lemon water lol Tips: Ask to sample the interesting flavors! If no one is at the counter, check the juice bar. They also have fresas con crema and something crazy looking served in a watermelon !!

Good desserts for good deals. I got a medium mangonada and was huge and packed with mango, mango sherbet, and raspberry slush. Cash only but definitely worth checking out.

While visiting Oakland we wanted a cold treat and found this place. Food: 1 Mangonada of strawberry 7/10. The sorbet was a bit too frozen for me and had alot of ice like shaved ice or raspado which wasnt what i expected. 2 Shaved ice of strawberry and pineapple 8/10. 3 bionico which is like a mexican portrait 5/10. Had too much of cantaloupe which was a bit dissapointing. One this which was kinda gross was thay they left their fridge doors open and the cream icecream had a fly chillin inside. THATS A BIG NO NO! Overall i dont think i would come back or recommend sadly.

Growing up is hard and awkward enough, but you have no idea how much it sucks growing up as an Asian or Hispanic kid unless you lived it. Especially a first generation Asian, because your parents are straight up Fobs and they're your parents so you can't do anything about it. You get stuck eating weird Asian foods your parents got from China town or Wet-Min-Tuh (Westminster) when all the kids have Lunchables and chips like Pringles. They get PB&J sandwiches and I get Banh Mi with weird ingredients like that pork sausage gio and smears of chicken pate in it. My lunch bag was always a grocery bag that smelled like fish sauce, while everyone had cool Power Rangers or Mutant Ninja Turtles lunchboxes. When you ran outta glue at home, your parents wouldn't do the rational things a normal average white American parent would do like run to the nearest Staples or Office Depot, No, No! Don't be silly! All they did was go to the kitchen and get a bowl of rice and show you how smearing it on the paper and attaching it together was just as good as glue, if not better because it dried super fast and was free! When Broadway (if you remember, which I'm sure you guys do) had a sale, my mother would buy all sizes and tell us we'd grow into them. They'd stay in her closet for years, I was never allowed to wear them til some unforeseen special event came along and only then were they dragged out. All I wanted was normal Levi's and Adidas gear where they weren't spelled Adios or Leves. All i wanted was a tomadachi like my friends had and all I ever got were cheap knock offs from Chinatown that broke in like a week. I truly believe my interesting childhood is what made me who I am. I don't think I would have quite the same personality and experiences if I didn't, so I learn to appreciate such things. Somehow this place brings me back to my wildly entertaining childhood. The man reminds me of my mother, smiling, bright, and effervescent. Selling his knock off wears of ice cream, with interesting flavors just as Tara's, Ici's, or Humphry's. However, taste-wise, it is like an LA Gear knock off. Vaguely reminiscent, but just not the same. Sure there are interesting flavors like Cheese, Jackfruit, Corn, mango, tamarindo, Cinnamon, Garlic, and Rose Petal. But the just didn't measure up in taste, texture, consistency, and flavors. The consistency of the ice cream was slightly icy and chunky (might have been the cheese), while others were smooth and creamy. Some of the flavors felt overworked and not perfected, the cinnamon ice cream was like when you first use cinnamon, you think you want a lot because you like the smell of it, until you realize that its only good in combination with sugar. There was just too much cinnamon and tasted almost chalky. The coffee ice cream was creamy and smooth, but the flavor just felt monotonous and lackluster. The cheese was okay but kinda chunky and icy, I got it because the proprietor sounded really proud of it and I didn't want to hurt his feelings since he reminded me of my mom. The jackfruit was hard to decipher what it tasted like, but not like any jackfruit I've ever had. I really wanted to like it, the owner was so sweet and friendly I truly wanted to give them a good star rating. He reminded me of my mother, and I didn't want to hurt his feelings. At least the ice cream was cheap at $1.25 a scoop, and $2 for a scoop in a cone. Maybe I'll come back and visit, I saw a Churro cart outside the Fruitvale Public Market that was frying up delicious smelling fruit stuffed churros!

Never in my life have I wished that there were more red lights... more excuses to keep taking my hands off the steering wheel so that I could continue digging in to the deliciousness that is a mangonada from Nieves Cinco de Mayo. Slightly tart, crunch mango chunks + shaved ice + chamoy sauce for rich color + a creamy scoop of ice cream + spicy chili powder that stings your lips = icy, spicy cup of heaven. Thank you, Yelp, for including this place on your list of must-try Frozen Treats a couple of months ago. I bookmarked it back then, and when I found myself in the Fruitvale neighborhood this past Saturday, I walked into the Fruitvale Public Market and found myself in front of the infamous stall. The woman working there gave me a warm smile as I snapped multiple photos for this very Yelp review. When I finished, she asked me what I would like, and I pointed to the small sized cup for a mangonada. Yes, I realized what a mistake that was only as I turned left where International meets 1st Ave/Lake Merritt Blvd. with just watered down chamoy sauce sloshing around at the bottom of my cup. :(

Have you ever had a Mangonada? Yeah, me neither. I was finishing off my bowl of weekend menudo at Taco Grill when I looked up and saw a young girl carry a tray full of these colorful creations down the street. I didn't know what they were and was too far away to ask her. Besides, it's probably not the best idea to yell at someone in East Oakland unless you want to recreate a tense scene from a Spike Lee movie. I just ambled about the Fruitvale Public Market trying not to look too conspicuous when I found myself in a tiny food court with a swarm of houseflies hovering around all the colorful baked goods. Right in front of me was this stand with quite a prominent photo of a Mangonada. Ah, that's it. I asked the charming woman running the kiosk to explain what it was, and she basically pointed to all the ingredients she uses to concoct one - fresh mango, lime, orange juice, crushed ice, chili powder...chili powder? And a bottle of chamoy sauce (see photo). Sounded like an interesting combo of sweet and savory that I had to try. I ordered a medium for $3.50, a large is $5. It's a traditional Mexican treat, but it almost sounds like something invented by a more avant-garde chef at a trendy restaurant. It turned out to be like a Hawaiian shave ice but not as sickeningly sweet. The chili and chamoy gave it a surprising spicy kick that started to lose its appeal toward the end, but it's definitely worth a shot. I'm more likely to come back and try one or six of the 22 ice cream flavors listed on the overhead chalkboard, some of which sounded quite unusual but obviously not in Mexico - cactus fruit, mamey, rice, burnt milk, even curdled milk. There are also a dozen snow cone flavors (raspados) which appear to be more tropical in nature - hibiscus, tamarind, diablito. Wikipedia says 'diablito' is a frog but thankfully it really is a mix of chili and tropical fruit. 'Nieves', I found out, means ice cream, so at least I learned something that will help me fit into the Fruitvale 'hood. OK, maybe not. MANGONADA - 4 stars...a tantalizing shave ice treat AMBIANCE - 3 stars...just a colorful ice cream stand in a quickie food court SERVICE - 4 stars...a very friendly server TOTAL - 4 stars...a bit of Mexico to satisfy your sweet tooth, gringo

Several places sell Mangonadas (also known as Mangoniadas) but none compare to the ones at Nieves Cinco de Mayo. Served with shaved ice, real mango, mango, sorbet, chili powder (pico limon/tajin), chamoy, lime, and a straw covered in spicy tamarindo. You have the option to choose from med for $3, large for $5, and XL for $7. If you get a large, you will have left overs for later lol IT'S NOT LOCATED ACROSS FROM FRUITVALE BART. To give you readers a better idea of its location. It's Located across from Citibank. You need to cross E. 12th ST. It's inside the Fruitvale Public Market building. Right above the double door you'll see a sign that says "Mangonadas" so pay attention if your driving because it easy to miss and be careful not to hit any pedestrians in the process lol Good luck finding a parking spot. ps. The marker location on yelp is incorrect.

Nieves Cinco de Mayo is one of the best things that ever happened to Fruitvale, I might be over exaggerating a tad bit but this place is just amazing!! I'm a huge fan of Mangonadas and for the past year I have been to so many different shops that make them but could never find that one place that made it just right. If any of this relates to you.. this is the place to go to find that perfect mangonada. The shop is located inside the Fruitvale Public Market, a tiny little shop in the corner but you can't miss it because it's extremely colorful. The workers are super nice and helpful. If a mangonada is not what you are looking for then there is a variety of other treats for you to pick from. Lets reverse engineer the amazing mangonada, at Nieves Cinco de Mayo a standard mangonada comes with: -chamoy sauce (around the cup) - shaved ice on the bottom - scoops of fresh mango ice cream (water based not the milky kind) - cut mango slices on top of the scoops - chamoy sauce on top - chili powder - spicy sweet tamarind straw - a splash of lemon My favorite part of the mangonada is the splash of lemon juice which adds a whole new flavor to it.. no other place that I have been to does it like that. With that said, this is the place to go if you want to experience a great mangonada. Oh also it's CASH ONLY so remember that!

After finishing a Sunday lunch at Nyum Bai, we decided to make our way to the Fruitvale Public Market. Nieves was right on the left upon walking in. The mangonados picture was large and eye catching, and we decided to order the chico size. Although it was really window and cold outside, the spice and ice cream were surprisingly warming. The mangos were delicious and crunchy as well. There were natural fruit and seeds on the Strawberry and Lime snow cone. Absolutely refreshing treat after a nice lunch. If you're familiar with the treats, I would recommend the larger sizes for the mangonado. The children in front of us all had large sizes for themselves. Great place in general and the lady in the front is super nice!

Yes please!! Can I have a raspado (snow cone - though it really comes in a cup!) the size of my arm for $6! Thank you! Love this place, and the sister spot, Nieves Cinco de Mayo Hamburguesas on International! The best for a hot Oakland day!!

Pros: quick and friendly service Many ice cream flavors Cute and unique snacks Cons: limited seating

This place is the first stall on your left when you enter the plaza building's doors. My housemate and I arrived close to closing time and even though the doors were locked as the store owners were preparing to close for the day, the cheery and pleasant owner of Nieves Cinco de Mayo unlocked the door and let us in to take our orders. We come here often to get our fix of tostilocos and sandi-loca before their closing time at 8pm. The tostilocos are made from opening a bag of tostidos, filling it with pork rinds, peanuts, jicama, and cucumber, and slathering it in an amazing amount of spicy sauce that gets into every corner. If you haven't tried it yet, it's definitely a snack worth experiencing! A tip - if you don't enjoy soggy chips, dig to the bottom of this bag first to grab those saucey tostido chips ;) My housemate got the Sandi-Loca, which is a vegetarian snack with jicama, cucumbers, a tamarind stick, sorbet, and watermelon pieces slathered in sauce, all perfectly arranged in a watermelon bowl. This snack requires some skill to eat around without dripping the red juice everywhere, so remember to grab some napkins before digging in! Lastly, the owner has some spicy powder in the back for those of you looking for that next level of kick! Happy snacking!

The mangonada was absolutely delicious!!! The sorbet wasn't super soft like I've had at other places. I also had their chile raspado; it honestly tasted like a michelada but with a little more spice and no beer. Parking is a little tough in this Oakland area, parking in Bart is recommend.

Finally, got a chance to come by and getting a mangonada and I was not disappointed. The mangonada I ordered was refreshing and delicious. It had just the right amount of sweetness, sour/tart and heat from the chili. I enjoyed the burst of flavors, especially on a hot day in the bay area. This will be spot when I have a craving for a mangonada. Also, they have other sweet treats I'd like to try. Staff is friendly and efficient. There may be long lines, but if you are patient it is worth the wait. Also, be aware that parking may be difficult in the area. I would definitely recommend Nieves Cinco de Mayo.

If you come here, get either the ice cream or the mango cups. The biónicos aren't great... actually they're pretty awful! But, the ice cream tastes just like the one in the small towns in Mexico. There are always long lines but the mango cups are definitely worth it. Don't buy biónicos here though

Update I emailed them as soon as they responded and they never replied, I believe that they just responded on yelp to appear like customer service would handle this.

Love this spot. It's very cozy, treats are delicious. And there's such an amazing variety to chose from. As a Latina this is a great spot to feel like home and have genuine delicious desserts.

My boyfriend had a business meeting in the area when I stumbled by this small Mom & Pop ice cream shop. Ordered a large (don't judge me, lol) Tamarindo raspado and it was HEAVEN in a cup!!! It was love at first taste!!! It tastes just like mom makes...almost better!!! I had the privilege of meeting Luis the owner and he told me he has been in business since 92! He feels strongly about keeping everything handmade and 100% natural. The Tamarindo was sweet with the perfect amount of tartness..yummmy! The two ladies at the counter were lovely and welcoming. I will DEFINITELY be back and please reach out when your daughter opens location #2!!! Thanks for the shirt, I will rock it in LA!!! xoxoxo

The fact that we were in San Francisco for 5 days and came here 2 of the days should say a lot. The mangonadas are amazing!! They are made a little different than I was used to but they are great!! They use mango ice cream which makes it perfectly creamy. I got the medium and could have been better off with a small because they overfill the cups which is awesome! My husband got the sandiloca which was a piece of art by itself. The fruit was so fresh!! I will definitely be coming back next time we come back to California.

Long overdue review: this place is bomb! Delicious, natural flavors. Indulgent but fresh. Perfect balance! Love, love love this family owned business!

This place is such a hidden gem! It used to be the case that I only came here for the ice cream (which is amazingly delicious), but recently tried the mangoneadas and sandi locas which are the best I've ever had in the history of my life. The ladies who work there are always super nice to my GF and I. Def worth a try, guaranteed to have something you'll like.
