Heladería El Grito — Restaurant in Lares

My family and I tried this ice cream place that’s supposed to be one of the top spots, and it truly lived up to the hype! The ice cream was delicious, with an incredible variety of flavors—from garlic and corn to papaya and classic mint chocolate chip. Prices were very reasonable, making it easy to try more than one. I also loved that they have a bar in the back and a section for souvenirs, which added a fun, unique touch to the whole experience. Highly recommend...

We stopped in for a coffee while looking around at the local history. I can honestly say it was one of the best cups of coffee I have ever had. The young woman was very patient with my "less than perfect" Spanish, and she delivered a beverage that we still talk about!

If you are getting off the plane in San Juan and heading to Lares, do yourself a favor and walk past the airport Starbucks and just wait until you get here. You won't be...

The quality of ice cream is amazing! They also make blended drinks (including blended coffee drinks, which are hard to find around the island). The flavors aren't as odd as they are famous for being. Or maybe they've stopped doing that? There are candies, pastries, all homemade. As well as a gift shop with assortments of puerto rican souvenirs.

*Go for the ice cream, but practice your spanish...
