After wandering the streets of Alfama in Lisbon on a hot July day, we were looking for some…read morerefreshment - specifically ICE CREAM. We didn't want just the novelty stuff on a stick, either. No, we wanted real ice cream, the kind someone dishes into a cone or cup for you. AHHHH!!! We came around a corner and saw a plush ice cream cone hanging out front of this little shop, so we ventured inside. Talk about kismet! Not only was there ice cream, but sorbet, too. I opted for a cup of hazelnut and dark chocolate paired together. My wife got the same dark chocolate, but with a nice coconut. The place was empty, save for the very nice young woman who served us, but soon it was full. Maybe we started a trend, maybe some passersby saw us and thought they might like some ice cream, too, I don't know. But, here's the other side of the coin, and it's not a downside. The shop has much more than just ice cream. Did you notice the "sardinha" in the name? There are many tins of sardines available for purchase, too. And tea. And wine. And olive oil. And olive paste. And flavored vinegars. And Sal de mer. This little shop, and it is not a very big space, although there was just enough space for the four of us to sit and enjoy our ice cream and the light breeze coming off the water just across the street, has a lot of stuff in it. We found that elusive present for one of our neighbors right in this shop - in fact two presents! The prices are good, the place is spotless, the young woman who served us was pleasant and helpful - this was a gem in an already great city!

Every time I go to Portugal, this ice cream shop is a must. It's become part of my routine because…read moreit just never disappoints. The ice cream is always so good especially with the waffle being h, but honestly, it's the whole experience that makes it special. The views are what really take it to another level. Sitting by the beach with the water right there, enjoying something sweet; It's just one of those moments that feels unreal. The scenery is so peaceful and beautiful, it makes you want to stay there forever. And on top of that, the prices are amazing. You get such high-quality ice cream without feeling like you're overspending, which makes it even better going back again and again. It's one of those places that just feels like a tradition now!! great ice cream, stunning views, and a vibe you can't get anywhere else.

We chose one called Pirata, meaning pirate, and is a cherry flavor. It is fruity delicious, creamy, and fresh. Service was average. I don't blame the guy though. The very distracted customers ahead of me were particularly yelling their orders just because English isn't their first language, either. Some customers are unintentionally rude. The store is sparkling clean and looks new. The cost was very good. I think it was €2.50 for a cone.
