    1 Scoop Cinnamon: 52,00 MXP
    Paul V.

    I have exceptionally high gelato expectations, and while Buonissimo checked my craving, I didn't think it was anything other than just OK. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Pretty standard gelato shop here at Buonissimo and with probably the best location you could imagine in PVR proper. I placed my order and was out the door in a minute or two, and they take card which was a nice little bonus. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? 52,00 MXP got me a very generous portion of cinnamon whether it was in cup or cone, and that was a very good price point. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? This was good gelato, but it wasn't in my mind great gelato. The consistency was on the heavy side and it melted exceptionally quickly, but that didn't come paired with the highly dense flavor that you sometimes get with heavier gelato. The cinnamon flavor was there no doubt, but I've had better. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? Buonissimo is good, but it isn't great in my mind. No Star.

    This is located on the malecon and as it was part of our nightly stroll we ended up stopping here for ice cream and gelato several times. The service is good, the prices are very reasonable ($84 Mex.) for two cups with a single scoop in each, and, of course, the ice cream is delicious.

    This coffee shop remains a solid favorite for stopping and relaxing with a latte along the Malecón. Moderate prices, especially considering the primo location.

    Authenic Italian espresso in Mexico? Yep.

    Authentic Italian espresso in Mexico? Better believe it! I am a coffee snob in the greatest sense of the word, and I'm always looking for a quick caffeine fix. I loved the look of this little shop so I stopped in for an espresso and was blown away. In what took me back to the streets of Rome (okay, okay, not quite that great but still a pleasant surprise), the espresso was strong and not bitter. I loved it so much I immediately ordered a second one. I also tried the gelato and it was good but not something I'd come back for. Get the coffee. It's high quality and reasonably priced. The proprietor spoke Italian so my husband had fun conversing with him (Italian and Spanish are so similar that we both found ourselves going in and out of both languages), so you know it's a legit espresso joint when the man who owns it is from Italy! Note that there may be a language barrier with the employees; they are very friendly but some speak very limited English. There are several indoor seats and some coveted outdoor chairs along the prime real estate that is the Puerto Vallarta Malecon. Grab a seat and soak in the sun and ocean breezes while you watch the people wander by. The location is fantastic and proves the idea setting for enjoying a quick break in one of the most beautiful (and my personal favorite) cities in all of Mexico.

    It has been a year since I have been here. Same great coffee and laid-back atmosphere along the ocean. What a great way to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. five stars plus

    absolutely enjoyable ice cream! lot's of flavors, all creamy, soft and fluffy. I liked the fact that you really taste what you are actually having, each flavor has an absolutely distinctive and unique taste, and you don't taste just the sugar (like often here in US). I wish we had something like that closer! Prices are a bit higher than expected, but you have to consider the quality and the location (on the main street, super close to the boardwalk). Definitely a place to enjoy a great ice cream while in PV.

    This place makes delicious ice cream! Price is affordable too so you can absolutely eat whatever your tummy can take. If only our hotel was within walking distance, I would've been here every day...all day! Also, their staff are all friendly. See you when I get back. Buon appetit!

    The gelato here is some of the best we've found in PV. It melts super fast so make sure you're ready to eat it if you're traveling when it's hot. The service here can be kinda off at times but overall we love coming back and enjoying some gelato on the malecon.

    La Romántica - Mini churros with chocolate, condensed milk, and caramel

    The moment we found out that this place has vegan churros by default we knew we had to go. Very few…read moreplaces deserve 5 stars, this was a no brainer. First default vegan churros. Clearly marked vegan options. Staff aware of what is vegan and what can be made. The vibe inside is clean and really good. The service was really great. And the best part food and beverages - there is nothing we could find that was off. The mini churros were freshly made and came to us within a minute after that. The two vegan dips - peanut butter and strawberry jelly went so well together. The family tells me the condensed milk was very good as well. The Canadiano (black) was amongst the best we have had. The brew was so smooth and tasted just perfect. No bitterness or sourness and the temperature was perfect. The vegan Iced Chai Latte with soy milk was unlike any chai latter we have had. The spices were warm and drink cold and a hint cinnamon, cardamom and cloves - OMG. We were so impressed that we came the very next day and had the same thing again.

    We finally made it in for some churros. We had no idea they existed as their facade seamlessly…read moreblends in with neighboring businesses even though we've walked by numerous times. ATMOSPHERE: Cool and clean intimate cafe with a few seats. MENU: Salads, paninis, churros, cafe-style beverages and some alcohol. DESSERT: Churro Cup Choose a gelato flavor and topping. I opted for vanilla which went well with the generous amount of mini churros piled on top and declined a topping. The churros had good, creamy flavor, but were a bit too firm for my liking either due to their thinness or simply overcooked. SERVICE: Excellent. Very welcoming and friendly with follow up in between. TIP: Closed on Tuesday's; hours are 1p - 9:50p. OVERALL: Nice variety of churro combinations.
