They have an incredible selection of flavors--three full freezers of gelato with so many unique options to choose from. Whether you like classic flavors or want to try something more adventurous, there's truly something for everyone. If you're walking around Old San Juan and craving something sweet, this is the perfect place to stop. Definitely one of the best treats we had on the trip!

Very cute interior, clearly well thought out and designed to be a photo/insta location. The colors and decor all flowed well. But beyond that, they have wonderful flavors! We tried about 7 in our group and they were all good. Tasted high quality and you could distinguish what the flavor was supposed to be. Fresh made on site I would guess. The order process is a little difficult w use they have so many flavors spread out over about 15 feet of displays. Hard to pick what you want without running back and forth to see if you would miss anything! The seating areas were nice and had lots of seating. Disappointed to see that the bathroom was out of order and just had an envelope with a handwritten message on it. Really took away from the experience. But would enjoy again!

First--rolled ice cream is basically edible entertainment. I stood there way longer than necessary watching them flatten, scrape, and roll it like I had nowhere else to be. It's giving Food Network... but you get to eat the finale. The flavors? BANGING. Super creamy, fresh, and not overly sweet--which means you can actually finish it without feeling like you need to lie down immediately after. Big win. The vibe is adorable--very vintage, colorful, and just a fun little spot to duck into and cool off. Definitely one of those places you end up taking pictures in without planning to. Service was adequate--nothing over-the-top, but they kept things moving and got us through the line without any issues, even when it was busy. Place looked clean, which matters when people are basically performing dairy gymnastics in front of you. Overall: great treat, fun experience, and absolutely worth the stop. Would I go back? Yes--for the ice cream... and to watch the rolling again like it's my new personality.

The wait wasn't too long, but the process of making one of these ice sheets takes a good 5 minutes, so there's some patience involved as they only took one order at a time.

I had no choice but to indulge, because the water wasn't enough. Upon walking in the young lady at the front welcomed me in Spanish.

I started with a drink that resembles an espresso martini, but very inspired by the locality. We shared cassava baskets filled with ropa vieja and some local cheese. This was incredible but I did find the cassava shell tough to chew. My main dish was the catch of the day, which was snapper (absolutely delightful!) the snapper was served with a dollop of mashed potatoes and tostines! Everything here was incredible though I did find two of the tostones tough to chew. Dessert was bread pudding using Mallorca bread with coconut and guava alongside a scoop of ice cream. This was a bit of a let down, but still wonderful. Service could be better? We did feel like everything took a long time due to the waiters absence. Otherwise, this place was great! Do come!

What intrigued us most was their commitment to Puerto Rican traditional cooking styles dating back to the 1800s. I was able to make a reservation on the same day and was seated as soon as I arrived . The interior was absolutely stunning; softly lit wood and trees everywhere with the backdrop being an old wall from the original walls built by the Spanish many centuries ago. I believe there were no booths, all tables with chairs. The food was good, but unfortunately it did not live up to the absolute charm of the ambience. The arancini was a good starter, although it was stated to have longaniza and I didn't detect any visually nor by taste. The cocktails were interesting and not terribly overpriced. For my meal I had the risotto caribeño which perfectly meshed the arroz con gandules I grew up eating (and now make myself) with creamy risotto! I was pleasantly surprised and appreciated the amarillos chopped up and mixed in. While there is no question this is one of Princesa's most popular dishes, I did kind of find it to be...monotonous? I wish there was something else in my bowl. I appreciated the tostones that came with the obligatory mayochup but also would have liked to see some more color on my plate. For dessert I had the queso de flan manchego, which I also quite enjoyed. I know manchego is a hard cheese akin to Parmesan but I was still surprised of the texture it had within the flan, which from muscle memory I expected to be smooth. Great taste. Overall this is a special place and can quickly become pricey. It would be good for a romantic dinner or another special occasion.
