Menester is an artisan gelateria in Puerto de la Cruz where pistachio is the flavour people keep naming. Mango, sorbets and other flavours also come through as rich and distinct, and reviews describe ice cream made on site rather than a generic freezer-counter scoop.
It is useful beyond dessert because the coffee gets unusually strong praise for an ice-cream shop. Gluten-free cones and friendly service make it easier for mixed groups, especially when someone needs to ask before ordering.

One of the finest gelaterias I have visited in a long time. Refined flavours and truly artisanal ice cream. The pistachio is outstanding, and the coffee is exceptional — unlike anything I’ve tasted before. Beautiful interior design and a level of quality that makes you want to come back. Highly recommended.

Best pistachio ice cream in Puerto. The price is very good as well. One scoop is 2.5€. And you get a pretty good sized scoop.

Probably the best ice cream in Puerto de la Cruz. They also have a selection of sorbets. The ice cream is made on-site. All this is complemented by super friendly service. 👍🏻
