Local acolhedor e muito agradável. A proprietária é super simpática e são os melhores gelados de Santo Tirso. Gelados feitos pela própria. Mais que 5 estrelas!

Os sorvetes são muito bons! Tem de todo o tipo e qualidade. Atendimento rápido, contando que havia so uma pessoa para atender 5 mesas, soube explicar o tipo de gelados que havia e até sugestões pessoais como dos clientes. Volto

Great location, very pleasant esplanade with very fair prices and an delicious array of hand made ice cream. And if you still prefer the softys they can get you a cone with it too. And you can go for Olá (Wall's in the UK) too as they also have them there. If you have the chance try the lemon sorbet, tangy and delicious!
