Neveria Y Paleteria Cinco de Mayo — Restaurant in La Grange

Neveria Y Paleteria 5 De Mayo is within walking distance of my home, and it’s honestly one of my favorite parts of living in such a unique location in this charming little town. My 8-year-old daughter & I love to stop by here on our scooters 🛴 when we are either heading to or from the epic new skatepark or the super fun splash pad at La Grange Springs Park…it’s also really close to the Alley Loop Historic District Walk & literally within view of the lovely “Be Kind” Mural, which is an adorable photo opportunity! So in terms of the perfect ice cream experience, literally every flavor I’ve ever tried is mouthwatering & we find ourselves later craving the delicious-ness. The first time I went there, I got a big scoop of strawberry cheesecake & also “Ferrero Rocher”…that combo slaps so hard! 🔥 I also loved the cookies and cream flavor with a scoop of pistachio…my daughter prefers the cool-looking ice pops or any sorbet…she tends to choose the strawberry or mango 🥭 🍓 last time we went, they recommended the ice cream flavor “Memay” and let me just say, it was a full blown winner for both my daughter and I. They tempted us with sample bites & we both fell in love with it…it’s a MUST TRY!! It’s basically a melon (similar to a flavor like almond with avocado-like texture)…apparently it’s often compared to a brown sugar-covered sweet potato, with notes of pumpkin, caramel and cantaloupe. SO FREAKING GOOD!! There’s nothing quite like it & we would have never known its existence without this awesome little spot & the friendly, helpful workers who introduced it...

I was washing my clothes at the laundromat next door. While waiting I decided to go in. Got myself a ice cream on a stick. It was good, a bit overpriced. While enjoying my ice cream, I noticed a worker cutting something. So to use with other type of product they offer. He was cutting it without any gloves on his hands. Before he finished, a small group walks in to buy some ice cream. He put gloves on then. My ice cream on a stick came with clear plastic wrapper on it. Hope it came that way. Another thing, there was Two workers in this store, when I came in. The guy waited on me, then sat down. The guy doing the cutting waited on the small group, that came in after me. The worker who sat down never got up to help with the...

So disappointed!! I've been wanting to try this place for forever. Finally took my son's for a treat this afternoon while we were downtown. We were immediately overwhelmed by the smell inside. It smelled very unpleasant and was very unappetizing. All of the ice cream looked quite freezerburnt, as it was glazed with ice crystals. We chose a popsicle. The two mini strawberry pops we chose were fine. My coconut popsicle had a weird flim on the edges, like the film that settles on cooked milk. It wasn't very flavorful. We will not try this establishment...
