Honestly one of the best ice creams I’ve ever had so authentic and made fresh that very day. Highly recommended
Gelato and crepe shop
4.4 (5)Puerto de la Cruz1-10 €


Il Gelato Puro is a Puerto de la Cruz gelateria where the gelato is the main reason to stop. Reviews focus on freshness, smooth texture, big scoops and flavours such as mango and pistachio. The small-shop detail people notice is that preparation is visible, which makes the place feel more personal than a generic seafront dessert counter.
There are also crepes, waffles and brownies, but the crepes can be very sweet and are better shared if you do not want a sugar-heavy dessert. Choose it first for gelato; treat the heavier sweets as optional extras.

My husband and I stopped by for dessert, and we were absolutely obsessed! The service was great, and the flavors of my brownie and my husband's waffle had us wishing we could get them back home. We highly recommend this place – it's so good!

Delicious ice cream! They're super fresh, smoothy, made before your eyes. The staff is incredibly nice (especially a girl) and gives huge scoops. You can see the owner needs to be crazy about ice-cream, because they even have special mixing machines so they stay fresh. One of my favorite ice cream places I've ever been to.

The crepes are an absolute sugarbomb, better to order one for two people to share
