Best ice cream parlors in Marbella: find options near you

We stayed in Marbella for a week and we had our breakfast here every morning. Everything we ate was good. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. The chocolate croissants were exceptional, LOADED with Nutella, the chocolate pancakes as well. Very good coffee, great egg tacos in the morning, generous fruit bowls. I highly recommend this place!

I live in Marbella and absolutely love this place. The pastries are always fresh, and no matter the season, the café is always full of people, which says a lot about its quality. I also regularly buy coffee beans to enjoy at home, and they are consistently excellent. One thing I really appreciate is the variety of gluten-free and lactose-free options available. It makes it easy for everyone to find something delicious. Another huge plus is that they are open every day, which is incredibly convenient. The only downsides are that it’s such a popular spot that it’s difficult to find a quiet place to sit and relax, and unfortunately there is only one location in the city center. I would love to see more branches in Marbella! Highly recommended for coffee lovers and anyone looking for great pastries and quality service.

The best brunch place in all of Marbella!! The staff is incredibly friendly, they remember you and that really makes you feel special. The food is delicious, everything is fresh, smooth. This year we stayed for 3 days and chose to eat here all 3 days. At the end, we even took photos together and they gave us something sweet for free. It deserves all the praise.

One of the top places in Marbella town for brekkie or brunch, It’s cozy, friendly and trendy. The menu includes bagels, salad, croissants, egg dishes etc. Also good matchas! Can’t wait to try more stuff

Great spot for quality coffee. The granola bowl was a good size and had lovely fresh fruit which was perfect for the hot weather. Lots of sweet pastry treats on offer which all looks great. Outdoor seating is nice for people watching too. This place is not cheap but then nothing is in Marbella!

We came here mainly for the coffee. Unfortunately, both coffees were fairly average. The cappuccino was too hot and watery, lacking the rich texture we expected. On the positive side, the açaí bowl was fresh, tasty, and definitely the highlight of our visit. Overall, an okay experience but the coffee could be improved.

Super friendly stuff, delicious food and coffee! We took the bagel with avocado and salmon, and the French toast. Both were huge and absolutely delicious. The pastry looked amazing as well but unfortunately we could not eat more.

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to with my girlfriends! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the food was absolutely amazing. We had the best paella in Marbella full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the drinks to the desserts and even the shots.

I just had lunch at Dolce Vita and honestly, it was such a good experience. We started with a salad with lettuce, berries, and cheese that was surprisingly good—really fresh and nicely balanced. Then we had the parmigiana, which was excellent, proper comfort food and full of flavor. Also worth mentioning: the walnut and raisin bread, which was something different and really, really good. For the mains, we went for three different paellas. The chicken one was solid and tasty, the black rice had a deeper, more intense flavor, and the one with octopus and artichokes was probably my favorite—just a bit more special and very well done. All of them had a great socarrat, which always makes a difference. Overall, everything we tried was on point. You can tell there’s care in the cooking. Definitely a place I’d come back to.

Spot on! Great beachfront food, excellent service, and a wonderful ambience. Fair prices for Marbella standards. Will definitely be back!

Tons of Spanish and locals eating here. Chaotic and busy, you gotta love that – we didn’t mind. The waiter told us Paella would take 1 hour, considering how busy it was we thought it was acceptable. We killed time by swimming and he even came to get us when it was ready, very attentive!

Amazing service and food here. We came here for my best friends hen do and they gave us a lovely bottle of alcohol to have shots on the house which was so sweet. Bread and chips were 10/10! Would definitely recommend!! Gracias!

Very good food and service! We stayed nearby and we saw that it is highly rated on Google so came here to eat. The food was as good as advertised. All of the fried seafood was done exceptionally well. The batter was light and the seafood fresh. Would definitely recommend getting the fried seafood platter. The paella is really good as well and the portion size was humongous. It fed the 4 of us well. Definitely do order as it’s value for money. The 12 piece croquettes is good as well. I loved the variety and freshness. Overall a perfect experience.

The restaurant is good and the food is delicious, but check your receipts. We didn’t ask for bread and butter, but they brought it to us and charged us for it. THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT WAS THE YOUNG WAITER. HE WAS RUDE. HE KNOCKED MY CHAIR OVER THREE TIMES. I ALMOST FELL, BUT HE DIDN’T APOLOGISE ONCE. ONLY FOR THIS, YOU COULD REMOVE ALL THE STARS FROM THE RESTAURANT, BUT THAT WOULD BE UNFAIR TO THE OTHER EMPLOYEES, SO I’M GIVING ONE STAR LESS FOR THIS RUDE WAITER. We spent €185. For that kind of money, you can be more respectful to your customers!

Visited twice for Ice Cream when staying in the nearby hotel. The service was friendly, and both times we made use of the outside seating area at the front. On our first visit, we opted for Cones. I had Pistachio flavour, my daughter had Mango. The next day, we opted for cups. My daughter wanted Strawberry, I went for Cheesecake flavour. They misunderstood and put both flavours in one cup instead of two. I didn’t bother correcting them as the overall amount of Ice Cream looked just right for us, and at least it was cheaper! We both agreed Pistachio was the best flavour we had. I liked the Strawberry flavour too as it had a freshness to it. The other two flavours were good too, but not as delicious as you would expect.

A wide selection, excellent flavors, and affordable prices. One of those places you’ll definitely want to return to.

Gioelia in Marbella is an excellent spot if you are looking for real Italian gelato with a touch of creativity. During my visit, we ordered two gelatos and both exceeded expectations. The cones were not just the usual ones – they were made by chocolate and dipped in pistachio, adding an extra layer of flavor and texture that made the experience memorable. The flavors we chose were very well-balanced. One was mango cake with white pistachio, which was refreshing yet creamy, while the other combined dulce de leche with chocolate, a richer option. Both had a smooth texture, with no artificial aftertaste, and felt very authentic. The portions were surprisingly generous, with a very good ratio of gelato to cone, making it not only delicious but also satisfying. Another highlight was the service. The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome right away. Their positive attitude really enhanced the visit and reflected the care they put into the place. Considering the quality of the ingredients, the originality of the presentation, and the generous portions, the price was excellent. It’s clear that Gioelia focuses on offering both quality and value. Overall, this was one of the best gelato experiences I’ve had in Marbella, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Best gelato we’ve ever had. My kids loved the fresa, and the Arabic coffee gelato was absolutely incredible — not to mention the lemon gelato!

Amazing vegan ice creams! Chocolate, pistachio, mango and more. Vegan cones too. Delicious

This is my second year visiting Marbella and coming back to this ice cream shop. The ice cream was great as always, but unfortunately the service was disappointing this time. The staff seemed new and didn’t really seem to know what they were doing, and they weren’t able to give me any recommendations. It’s a shame, because last year I was helped by a young man named Nelson or Néstor, I don’t remember exactly, and he gave excellent service. Too bad he wasn’t there this time. I’m giving this rating only because of the service.

Amazing true Italian ice cream, in Spain I’ve never eaten better. We tried all the flavours from here and they are fantastic. I already need some loyal cards from here🤣 And we tried canolli, very tasty. Really recommend!!!!!!

Stopped by Amorino Marbella for an ice cream in the morning and, as always, it didn’t disappoint. Amorino has been one of my favourite ice cream places for years, and this visit reminded me why. The gentleman behind the counter was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. The store itself was spotless, beautifully presented, and very quiet in the morning, which made for a relaxed start to the day. The ice cream was, as expected, absolutely delicious with the high quality I’ve come to expect from Amorino. If you’re in Marbella and fancy a treat, I can highly recommend stopping by. Great service, great atmosphere, and fantastic ice cream.

Amorino is a lovely spot. The ice cream is excellent overall — incredibly creamy, rich, and full of natural, high-quality flavours. The coffee drinks are also very well made, smooth and enjoyable. The venue itself is beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and has a really nice, relaxed atmosphere. Perfect for a stop while walking along the seafront. Highly recommended!

We’re currently on holiday in the area and have already visited this coffeeshop twice with our family. The first time, we stopped by just to enjoy some gelato, and the second time we came back for dessert after dinner at the excellent restaurant next door. The selection of flavors is incredible, each one more tempting than the last, and every flavor we’ve tried has been absolutely beautiful. The quality is outstanding, and it seems that a lot of care goes into making the gelato. We’ll definitely be coming back few more times before our holiday is over. Highly recommended!

The friendliest staff ever. They speak English and German very well. Ice creams, waffles and macarons are perfect and even the coffee is very good. Bathroom is unfortunately not baby friendly, everyone and everything else is, they helped me with hot water for my daughter…

The best ice-cream ever and next to the beach in Marbella.

Amazing ice cream and stellar service! Been a long time favorite of Amorino’s ice cream but this is the first time we got to try their sorbet drinks and milkshakes. Just as high a quality I’d say! Not a coffee drinker myself but others in our group tried their coffee as well which I heard was also very much to their liking. Will visit again!! 11/10 All Around🍦

We stumbled across this brilliant little ice cream spot while in Marbella and it quickly became a daily favourite for us 🍦 The selection of gelato was fantastic — loads of flavours, all fresh, rich, and properly authentic. You can tell straight away it’s quality stuff, not your standard tourist ice cream. What really stood out though was the service. We were with our 22-month-old daughter, and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. They happily sorted her a smaller portion without any fuss and just made the whole experience really easy and relaxed for us as a family. Great atmosphere, great people, and even better ice cream. If you’re in Marbella, this place is 100% worth a visit — we’ll definitely be back next time!

Cute little spot near the beach! Loved having delicious Mexican food in Spain. This is my second time visiting Marbella and the second time and I’ve enjoyed their breakfast burritos. The homemade tortillas are AMAZING. Almost better than my mom’s tortillas (don’t tell her I said that.) I walked here from my Airbnb on a Monday morning around 10 am for a nice relaxed breakfast. Super attentive and quick!

It was a great experience! The specialty coffee is done right, the food is delicious and you can tell the ingredients are of good quality. We recommend this experience, it really says it in the name…it’s like you enter their home and they welcome you with open hearts ♥️ (with tasty food) See for yourself! 💖

Nice location close to the beach on an avenue with a number of cafes & restaurants. The restaurant puts corn chips on the table, they’re very stale, bad first impression. Had the nachos, very disappointed. They were very bland, total lack of flavor. Also, they are not nachos, it’s a bean tostada, it is not nachos. The bright spot is the tostada used fresh ingredients. Bland but fresh.

We came across Mi Casa Tu Casa by sheer luck on our recent visit to Marbella. It’s always really busy which is also a good sign. It is most amazing place and is run by a lovely family. We initially stopped by for a coffee and it was amazing! They roast their own coffee beans which is a lovely touch. The interior and exterior is really nice and very trendy. From the decor in the toilet to the plates and cups – everything is beautiful and the attention to detail is amazing, right through to the presentation of the food. We visited again – unfortunately one of the times it was closed as it was a Sunday. We wanted to try the food as the menu is vast with tons of different types of meals available. On our second visit, we had breakfast. The food was delicious – fresh ingredients and full of flavour. We had fresh orange juice alongside this and it was incredible. We would highly recommend you visit this place – it’s amazing. I believe you can purchase coffee beans which we really wish we’d done. We will 100% be back the next time we’re in Marbella!

What a vibe! This is a truly authentic mexican experience. They do breakfast and lunch, the owners are mexican and very nice and friendly. Food amazing. 10/10

Always the best experience coming to this place. Food is fantastic – so much flavour profile in each dish, feels like you’re in Mexico. Our favourite place to go to for breakfast/brunch/lunch in Marbella. Location is great too. Service is always amazing, friendly and helpful staff. MUST TRY!

Best place for authentic mexican food. Friendly people, clean place, tasty food, fair prices, great location. Nothing more to ask for 🤩

Visited this store recently and was impressed by how clean, modern, and well presented everything was. There’s a great selection of home furnishings, décor, and household items, and the supermarket section is particularly well stocked with plenty of premium products. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I was specifically looking for Hot Wheels, and unfortunately there wasn’t a toy section or any Hot Wheels available. If you’re visiting for homeware or groceries, it’s definitely worth a stop, but toy collectors may want to look elsewhere. Overall, a pleasant shopping experience with a great range of quality products and a nice atmosphere.

Please watch out on extra charges and fish weight manipulation by the staff this week! Foreigners, like myself, are treated without respect and with extreme hatred of the staff there.

This grocery store is immaculate. It is pricy but they do have good sales and others brands that are cheaper. I was truly in heaven when I stepped in here. If you’re a wine lover or collector, the wine selection is incredible and not to be missed. The tinned fish selection, olive oil and cheese section is outstanding as well. They have a section dedicated to iberico ham. This grocery store is a food lovers dream. It gives Whole Foods a run for its money.

This supermarket (floor -1) is BY FAR the best grocery shopping Marbella has to offer. Everything is new. Fresh Fish, Butcher and Cheese counter. Just fabulous! Be aware that the ‘Club del Gourmet’ has now moved to the ground floor, sharing space with their decoration department. There is also a Starbucks on this floor if that’s your thing. I won’t do my grocery shopping anywhere else. Plenty of Parking on 2 decks below the premises. While you shop get your car detailed at -2.

Shop with furniture for appartement house bathroom kitchen….even stuff for the garden. Nice pricy things. In the basement was the food departement.

“El Corte Inglés Supermercado in Marbella is a real find for New Year’s shopping! There is an amazing selection of New Year’s toys and gorgeous Christmas trees. The decoration of the festive area is amazing – you feel like you are immediately immersed in the holiday atmosphere. I am especially pleased that the store is open on Saturdays, very convenient for those who plan to shop on the weekend. For New Year’s, you can find really stylish home decorations here. A nice place, I recommend everyone to stop by!”

The staff here is fantastic. Though I have limited Spanish, thanks Google Translate, we were able to find almost everything on our list. The store is different than what we are use to, but it had a beautiful selection of food. Definitely a high end store. I was surprised to have to pay for parking but otherwise a great experience.

Oh my goodness delicious gluten free ice cream and in a gf cone. The member of staff not only cleaned her hands before opening the sealed gf cone, she then went to the special gf only ice cream area. Complete confidence in this ice cream and it tastes amazing. Thank you

Best ice cream ur ever have so good one of the staff Jesus is very kind gives big portions and even came fed my dogs some dog ice cream

Cozy pastry shop on the promenade with a view of the sea. Excellent ice cream and sweets. Nice service. I’m always happy to stop by. This time it was cooler, so the choice was clear: cannoli and cocoa. 👌👍

The best ice cream in the area – amazing seamwork (WYKYK) and Luz is always so friendly and kind.

Amazing service and amazing flavours! Prices are reasonable for portion size and quality. One of the best ice creams I’ve ever had. I got kinder bueno this time

Best ice cream we had so far in Marbella and great service too – Highly recommend!

Excellent ice cream!! Very nice lady from Venezuela serving customers in the evening!

Very nice gelato by the strand promenade in old town, don’t miss the dark pure chocolate. Also they have sugarfree flavours. Nice staff, normal price.

Excellent ice cream! We especially loved the Piña Mix and the Red Velvet flavors. The lemon and passion fruit were also absolutely delicious. A perfect 5/5. We will definitely be back! 🍦⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best Ice cream in Marbella. After a menopausal meltdown because the lady behind the counter gave my small children a medium cone instead of a small one Antonio came over with a genuine smile and desire to help and sorted it out. Excellent customer service thank you👌

Delicious food! I had the parfait it had at least 6 different fruits. My partner had the croissant and a toasted baguette, we both had a fresh juice made, all was sensational. Service was wonderful, Alice was kind and helpful with our broken Spanish. Will come again, highly recommend!

Super nice ice cream shop! Even though they were basically already closed, the staff still served us, which was really kind of them. Will, Bayon and Naiara were all super friendly and polite, you could tell they actually care about customers. And the ice cream was really delicious! Definitely recommend this place 🙂

Very nice croissant with butter and jam – they warm it which is appreciated. Nice coffee with option of oat, almond, soya milk….Friendly service, reasonably priced for location right on the promenade.

We come here everyday during our vacation and everything is so good , the ice creams + coffies both hot and cold . The staff is super nice and its a nice casual atmosphere. 10/10. 5 visits this far and we will be back for our next morning coffee or afternoon dessert 🍨

A very cozy Caffè with a lot of choices and plenty of nice sweets to with your drink of preference! I’ll need to go back to try some other ones. I had the tarta de queso con lotus and was not expecting all the toppings (they were very welcome though) and it was delicious!

We come here from time to time for several years, and always enjoy the interior and the atmosphere. The coffee is superb, and they have good breakfast offers. Pistachio ice-cream is yummy!

Whilst walking in Marbella, we decided to stop off at Purolatte for refreshments. A lovely cafe, with indoor & outdoor seating & a very reasonably priced menu offering. We chose a Cappuccino, an Oreo milkshake & a Kinder Bueno Crepe. All were very good & we separately purchased a slice of the Carrot cake to take away for later – which was very nice as well.

They are serving raw crepes, the inside is completely liquid and I could spread it like butter. I felt sick, very disappointing.

Hand made ice cream is yammy and espresso is smooth. Hot chocolate is perfect. It was very nice to sit outside in the terrace and just enjoy the moment on a sunny afternoon.

The service was awful! The server was cleaning garbage, and once we walked in without washing his hands, he started to get orders and serve. His attitude was rude, and the quality of the ice cream cones was so bad; the cones tasted terrible, and the ice cream portion was uneven! I don’t recommend this place at all!

Such a cozy place for a breakfast

▪︎amazing bakery!!!! Tried 2 different cakes and both were super delicious! ▪︎huge selection in cakes/pastries/bread ▪︎coffee is good but very dark roast so only for people who like a strong bitter coffee ▪︎it was extremely busy and very slow service

Horrible. I’m not quite sure what I paid for! The pastries looked amazing. Now I love tiramisu. I could not finish mine and my friends said that their pastries had an industrial flavour. My tiramisu looked better than it tasted, of nothing.

Great selection of cakes and pastries. Very good hot chocolate. Very reasonable prices e.g. €10 for two hot chocolates, one vanilla slice and a Neapolitan cream pastry.

Good place for a breakfast. Some dishes are a bit pricy though. But overall it was a nice place with polite staff.

Really nice pastry shop with excellent cappuccinos near Avenida Del Mar

The most surly service I’ve experienced in a long time. We ordered a green salad without tuna (wife is unable to eat tuna). They served a salad that had tuna added and then most taken off. When she sent it back, they returned it to her with more salad removed but still tasting strongly of tuna

The waiters here are racists. We, the only Asians there, have been sitting and waiting at a table patiently for long enough. White customers around us have been attended to one after another. We kindly asked different waiters several times to take our order and simply got ignored. In the end, we just left. Won’t recommend this to anyone.
