This emblematic ice cream shop was founded in 1989. It is located near Jaume III Street, so you can easily come across this fancy place while strolling around the town. All the flavours are fully made of natural and local products, since the primary goal of the company is to keep the highest quality possible.

Current owners, descendants of the original creator Miquel Solivellas, explain that the key to success is to keep the same suppliers with whom they originally started: fresh milk from Agama that arrives every morning, oranges and lemons from Cooperativa de Sant Bartomeu in Sóller, fig opuntias from Porreres and strawberries from Frespi, Sa Pobla. In this shop you can simply lose yourself in trying to taste all 60 flavours.

This business has a truly distinctive story that will make you completely fall in love with it. At the end of the 17th century a man whose name was Joan decided to go up to the Mallorcan mountains and collect some snow. With the help of a group of strong men, called the “nevaters”, and donkeys carrying some metal containers filled with snow, he came back to the city and mixed the snow with fruit juice. We can say that this man was the forerunner of today’s ice cream!

The most famous flavour is almond, since it is produced here on the island. Although the establishment doesn’t offer as many options as the other two, they are still yummy. It is a one-in-a-lifetime type of experience!
