Good gelatos. A variety of toppings. But out of a machine so soft-serve style. Tasty, but thats the only format they have (have a mango & strawberry sherbet as well). At ~€5 for the smallest size, it's a bit more than typical ice cream but atypical toppings give that 'artisan feel'.
Once I was in this highly anticipated ice cream spot I wasn't so convinced somehow but once I tasted their ice cream I was really happy with their consistency and flavor.
A must when in Girona! Jordi Roca really knocked it out of the park with this place. Creamy oce cream wide array of toppings, and fantastic service. Will be back again, again,and again!
Super refreshing sorbet that provided a slight reprieve from Girona's 36 Celsius temperature! I ordered the cherry with elderberry and the watermelon sorbets. The watermelon was my favorite. It was bursting with flavor and made me wish I just ordered 2 scoops of it haha. For you GoT lovers, they also have an edible gold Jaime Lannister hand here!
"There's no love more sincere than love for ice cream" - @rrrocambolesc Leaving Girona felt better knowing that this gem is also back in BCN Created by @jordirocasan & his brothers, this artisanal gelato shop can sweep you right off your feet with their rare flavors + toppings. We're talking Baked Apple flavor, Lime and Pineapple topping, Honey Rocks, Sesame Bits... you get the gist. * Vanilla & Baked Apple ice cream w/ Merengue, Strawberry Bits, Butter Cookies * Next time, we're coming back for their ice cream sandwich made fresh-to-order at the store!! *Follow my food IG for more reviews! @internationalfoodieclub*
This place is amazing, another level. You need to try to understand what I'm saying, this is not a normal ice cream shop, this is the Ice cream shop.
Best Gelato I've had, went here three times during our trip to Girona. It's a dessert shop brain child of the 3 Michelin star chef/restaurant El Celler de Can Roca My first visit I tried the GOT Inspired golden hand of Jaime, the flavor was blood orange and mango. Very refreshing and left a golden dusting on my lips. Second trip I got the chocolate gelato topped with chocolate nibs, brownie, chocolate sauce, with added candied sesame seeds and candied hazelnuts. Now it might sound really sweet but no it wasn't it was perfect. The gelato was a smooth dark chocolate, and the toppings was not overly sweet. Third trip tried the baked apple gelato on a cone with caramel nibs, butter cookies, candy floss. the gelato tasted like creamy smooth baked apple again not overly sweet even with the toppings. They also offer frozen yogurt which my sister loved with fresh strawberry and pineapple, and the Sobet was good as well my mom loved the strawberry hibiscus. IF you visit Girona this is a must try, just a warning they have price that is gelato only or with 3 toppings, if you add additional toppings it's additional charge per.
What did the newspaper say to the ice cream? What's the scoop! Who doesn't love ice cream? Who didn't day dream as a child about Willy Wonka's candy lane? Well day dream no more - a Willy Wonka ice cream shop. We spent a day in Girona, wandering around the old streets and climbing the many steps around the city. We did an afternoon stop at Rocambolesc - the famous and wonderfully delicious ice cream shop! Choices, Oh Choices. If I could only take one of everything. Or I wish the public wouldn't judge you if you had an ice cream cone, popsicle stick and sandwich in your hand. Ah the judging eyes of over indulging on ice cream. I settle on a cone - filled with frozen yogurt creamy goodness, topped with strawberries, caramel crunch pieces and shortbread cookies. Amazing. My hubby had a better choice. He got a mixture of apple ice cream, caramelized apples, caramel and caramel pieces filled inside the delicious doughy warm sandwich. It was definitely the better option but both were amazing. If you are in Girona, go here. It is lovely and like an adult version of a kid candy shop. Awesome.
Unique, delicious, and worth a detour. Inventive flavor combinations and creative toppings. My coconut lavender "sorbet" was creamy and decadent, and complemented well by the fresh strawberries, honey crunch, and marshmallow that the server recommended go with it.
If you are ever in Girona, and want to go for ice cream, this is the place to try. This is the dessert spin-off from the restaurant El Celler de Can Roca, which has been consistently ranked among the best restaurants in the world. You can build your own ice cream/topping combinations, but we decided to go with the fun candy floss, caramel ice cream arrangement and mango/blood orange popsicle inspired by the game of thrones. Overall verdict: The flavours, presentation, service, and willy wonka-esque atmosphere was all top notch. Couldn't ask for more from an ice cream shop.
Really really good ice cream. They only have a few flavors per day which probably helps moves things along quicker but have tons of toppings. I ordered the Watermelon and Lemon Sorbet with Strawberry and Blueberry toppings and it was extremely good. It is not icy at all like a sorbet but is more creamy like gelato. I could taste a little bit of the watermelon but the sour from the lemon kind of dominated for the most part. The fresh fruit also added a great touch. I would say that if it is a hot day, it is best to cool down with a sorbet from this place! It is quite expensive and the line can get absolutely crazy - we waited nearly 30 minutes to get ice cream and were nearly late for our tour. This is not just beacuse the place is popular but because the service is a little slow. Overall, though, if you are in Girona for the day, this is a must try place.
My first gelato in Spain...I was not disappointed! I was hoping to try the turrón gelato but they were out. The chocolate flavor was delicious. I should've ordered a small size because it was too rich for my tummy.

This is an absolute must try when visiting Girona! The gelatos were so delicious and rich in flavor. I tried the matcha and baked apple! read more
so so creamy and delicious!! Perfect treat to cool down in the summer time. The chocolate flavor tasted authentic and didn't leave a weird aftertaste at all. staff were super helpful and there's lots of toppings and speciality flavors to choose from read more
Great gelato but why is the line so slow? We came here and there were probably around 7 people in front of us but for some reason we waited over 30 mins to get our ice cream. Why does it take so slow? I didn't feel like it worth it for the very slow service. read more

Can Roca, a 3* Michelin... and one of his concepts, in what he call his planets: a wonderful artesian ice-creams shop! You can order scones or tubes, the price depending on the size, you can even choose several flavors between the 6 existing and add 3 other ingredients or more (fresh fruits, biscuits, mini-cakes, and some crispy beautiful and colored delicious particles). The ice-creams are ethereal and incredibly tasty. I had turron and yogurt ice-creams with fresh strawberries, pearly white yogurt particles and green tea mini cake and I caught sight of paradise! read more
