From Chicago, first time at D&S tonight. Here are my thoughts: -We were walking down the Paseo de Montejo on a Friday night looking for an after dinner dessert. -My wife said, "What are all those people doing over there?" So, we walked over and found D&S! -There was live music--a great little two man band playing outside--and we quickly got seated. -I ordered the pina sorbet and it was a good amount, very light, and delicious pineapple flavor. -Service was great. Highly recommended! read more

It's okay. We tried what the waiter recommended soursop and watermelon. Next time I'll try the Lima. Try getting here mid day or opening hours less crowded and enjoyable to eat out in the sidewalk. People watch and enjoy Mexico . read more

The first time I went to Merida I walked by this shop several times. It was always full, no matter the time of day. I wrote it off as a tourist stop and didn't try it. Fast forward to my second trip to Merida and a local recommended Colon on the first day of my trip. This place has been around for over a hundred years, so clearly they are doing something right. I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. The sorbet at Colon is so refreshing on a hot day in the Yucatan (read: every day in the Yucatan). I was afraid it would be too sweet, but depending on the flavor, it is more light and refreshing. I love corn flavored desserts, so the corn was probably my favorite. The mamey is one of their signatures and it is very sweet (because mamey is very sweet) but I think it's worth trying because it is so unique. It's like brown sugar sweet potato sorbet. The ambiance is old fashioned and lively. I highly recommend stopping when you're walking the boulevard. read more

Fun after dinner stop off to taste the sorbeto of the Yucatán. There are plenty of patio tables and availability . They have about 8 or 10 flavors. These taste like water ice that I know in the US. I opted for the lemon and my husband had the peach. They are reasonable and served in a parfait glass. They have other options that are mixed with milk wasn't that adventurous after dinner. They have some sidewalk acts that provided entertainment which was nice . read more

What a great experience! I arrived early today since it was such a gorgeous day. They weren't open yet but allowed me to sit on the patio and enjoy the buzz of the morning. Once inside I asked in Spanish for their recommendation instead of just choosing one. The kid at the counter recommended Mamey and Guanábana which I had never heard of. He showed me what the fruit looked like and described them well. I chose the Mamey and it was excellent! It was wonderful just enjoying the men in their coral guayaberas and this beautiful sorbeteria 10/10 experience, muchas gracias! read more

Best natural ice cream i have ever tasted. I had Coconut then I came back for mango. Both are unreal but I love coconut more. Love the outdoor little tables. Fast service. Very decent servings compared to the US and of course better prices. Esta cuidad es hermosa y más segura que cualquier cuidad en los estados divididos de trump read more

This location was part of Carnival's Merida Street Food Tour excursion. Knowing the history of Merida, the tour guide suggested we order something "local" and not the traditional chocolate, strawberry or vanilla. Merida is known for corn so I ordered the corn sorbet. Tastes like a refreshing cream corn delight! The staff was efficient. They have exchange for exact pesos, but will take US dollars. There's also other sweet treats like pastries and cakes, but I didn't want to bring too much back to the ship. There's indoor/outdoor seating to enjoy the sunshine. Must try place if you're ever in Merida! read more

We stopped here for sorbet and pastries at the end of a tour. They had a good operation going to bring out orders quickly, so we didn't have to wait long. I ordered the guava sorbet and husband got the corn. The corn was really different, but fun to try. However, I liked my guava better. We also got some cookies and pastries to take with us. They were all really good! read more

I was walking down the street exploring Merida and was getting a but hot and hungry. I saw this refreshing ice cream place with many people sitting and enjoying their ice cream. I decided to pop in. Service: Very friendly employees and fast service. I had my ice cream to go in less than 5 minutes and I was on my way exploring Merida. I asked what they recommend: coconut, guayana. I love coconut. It is a lovely ice cream but more vanilla than coconut. I could not taste the coconut but occasionally would get a coconut chunk. The ice cream had some ice crystals, but overall it was a very smooth and good quality ice cream. I was just hoping for more coconut flavor. read more

Nice cool treat on hot day, some flavors are sweeter than others. Seating is outdoors, but the ice makes it tolerable. Not much English spoken. read more

La verdad no me gustaron los helados. Se derritieron al momento que no los llevaron. Estaban demasiado dulces. El único que fue refrescante fue el de pitaya. read more

don't come here because the owner rips off Americans using uS Dollars. They say the exchange is 16pesos when it's 20pesos and they are taking a deeper cut. 18 as an exchange but 16 is gross. Never coming here again read more

Sweet little spot to visit after stopping by the "Palacio Canton"! This place is known for their sorbet and their delicious pastries. I was not familiar with any of the flavors because they are fruits I've never even heard of! I asked for recommendations and some local visitors suggested COCO! It was a sweet little stop during our stroll through the city. read more

Absolutely amazing sorbets. Sorbets are softer than those found/eaten in the US. The consistency is somewhat in between a slushy and US sorbets. Texture is soft, not icy. The coconut is creamy and sweet. The lemon is tangy and has the right amount of sweetness. These sorbets are literally mouth watering and perfect for Merida's weather. Only downfall, you don't get to sample flavors. read more

Such a treat in the middle of the day in the heat!! We try to come as many times as we can whenever we r in Merida. Either this location or the one in the Plaza. I've tried many different flavors but always go back to Coco. They have some great merengue cookies to take home. Waiters are always so professional. read more
