Best waffles and ice cream I ate in my entire life, yet on this island! The waitress spoke perfect English and was so cheerful, she made the whole experience one level higher
Gelato and crêpe café
4.5 (5)San Andres1-10 €


Bambola Gelato in San Andres is more than a scoop counter because the waffles and crêpes are part of the reason to stop. Reviews praise the crêpe and waffle dough, friendly service, sorbets and fair prices, with the small town setting making it a pleasant pause while walking around San Andres.
The ice cream feedback is good overall, but more nuanced than the score suggests: some flavours can be sweeter than expected or less exact than their name. Order waffles or crêpes if you want the safest strength, and use the gelato as a dessert stop rather than a reason to cross the island.

We have been coming back to Bambola, trying multiple flavors,at different times of the year. Compared to usual standards of Tenerife,it’s definitely above them. One of the best options on the island although can not touch the taste of a medium-range Italian gelato. Certain flavors don’t match what they stand for completely,and some are maybe a bit too sweet. The place is charming,and a good chance to have an ice cream while enjoying the streets of San Andras. We would recommend trying.

The ice-cream and sorbets here are extraordinary - so good. Warm and excellent service. Lovely atmosphere. We love Bambola!

The waffles and crepes dough are really good, and the lady preparing them was very friendly. We had one with nutella and lotus ice cream. And a pistachio crepe with a scoop of pistachio ice cream. The ice cream scoops were average as the tastes were not very accurate and a bit too sweet.
