La Colmena — Restaurant in Sedalia

Very cute little store with an incredible variety of Mexican candies, paletas and probably a dozen ice cream flavors - some flavors that I didn’t know existed. I tried a few and they were really good, and all the flavors looked wonderful.

I wanted all of them, but settled on a Mangonada. It was beautiful. And delicious. They always look a little scary to me with all of the Chamoy sauce they put in/on, like it might be too spicy, but it’s always just right.

First she dipped the rim of my cup in some salty, spicy chili powder, then lined the inside of my cup with the Chamoy sauce, which is sweet, salty, sour, spicy. Then she loaded my cup with three or four scoops of mango ice cream, which really is more like sorbet. It was topped it off with some fresh mango and the tamarind straw, which is just more salty sweet, sour, spiciness. All in all, it’s a very lovely thing!

The mango ice cream/sorbet tasted just like really sweet mangoes and was extremely smooth, with no icy bits at all, which was delightful and I thoroughly enjoyed my dessert.

It is a bright yellow building at the edge of Sedalia’s “historic downtown“, so it’s hard to miss. That is what intrigued me enough to look into the place, The bright yellow! Inside it is clean and bright, so check it out...

Finally decided to try this place out.

Inside is quaint and a little packed, but it has a lot of different Mexican snacks and candies to choose from. It also has a nice selection of ice cream to choose from.

There are some typical flavors like chocolate chip, cookie dough, Oreos, but also some more unique flavors that you don't commonly see such as pistachio, coffee, strawberry cheesecake, and mango. As well as a number of other flavors.

A few reviews have said that the lady that works there or owns it is kind of rude. I don't think that's the case. I think she just doesn't speak much English but does her best to accommodate...

If you’re actually from Mexico DO NOT go to this place if you’re looking to get an elote en vaso. She puts nothing but butter, Chile and queso fresco on it. No nacho cheese, no mayo, no cream. It was the worst elote I’ve had and service was horrible. Ice creams looked okay and they do have a lot of Mexican candy but it’s extremely overpriced. Save your...
