They have more than 20 flavours, made with natural ingredients one can taste. Today we had pear, walnut, coffee, port, passion fruit, mango, kiwi and yogurt with blueberries. All delicious and creamy. There is also a pleasant vintage feel to the place, i like it very much.

A group of us stopped off as we only wanted a light lunch and most of the other restaurants only seemed to offer large meals. There appeared to be only 1 person working there who took our order, prepared and served the drinks and then had to make the toasted sandwiches! He had very limited English and we should have seen the warning signs when trying to place our order as it took ages with lots of corrections needed. Even then the drinks order didn’t quite work out as planned but by then we just went with the flow. Worse was to come. He brought out a few toasted sandwiches for half of the group and then came back to tell us there was no more bread so no more toasted sandwiches!!! We were offed waffles instead as the only alternative! Consequently our group then had to split up so that the unfed, and by now very hungry,half had to go elsewhere to find some food. Surely before you take an order for a group you would check you can provide it! I appreciate this is basically a gelateria but in that case don’t offer other things on the menu. Stick to one thing.
