Paleteria Dulce Vida

DELICIOUS! My first time here and definitely not my last. Definitely. Definitely not my last time. Bring friends, bring coworkers, bring family. The prices here are way more reasonable than a DQ or a Baskin-Robbins. An order of two large-cone (large cones are 99¢, small cones 50¢. *prices subject to change(?)) single scoop ice cream's came up to approximately $10 and change. It is a nice place to bring kids. There are video games and an air hockey table. There are tables to sit at indoors to be able to relax and enjoy the ice-cream before it melts. It was over 90° out today, and there was no way the ice-cream would've made it to the car. The strawberries and cream I got was soo refreshing! My cohort with me got the caramel ice cream which had a caramel swirl. I tasted a bit of hers and it had a coconut-like base flavor to it that reminded me of a mild flavored egg nog and very much like kahlúa in the base. I am not a fan of caramel but I am very much a fan of kahlúa, therefore a fan of the caramel flavored icecream. The counter staffer states they make the icecream in-house. It would explain the partially melted look to the tops of some of the ice cream. Homemade ice-cream when I was a child always had the same melty texture. The staff member was so patient with us as it was our first time there and the menu along with the total amount of ice-cream flavors was a slight bit more intimidating than expected for our choices. The customers were able to order in English or Spanish which I thought was awesome seeing as my neighborhood can benefit from going here and not being intimidated by using a language that is uncomfortable for them. It was a lot of younger families and teens but it wasn't a rowdy atmosphere. I'm not into rowdy.If you are in the neighborhood, feeling like you want a walking taco, ice cream, sundae, funnel cakes, churro's, or just a cold bottled drink definitely stop in. Most definitely stop in before visiting DQ and save some cash.I highly enjoyed and recommend this spot as I will be back again soon.

OMG the BEST ice cream ever! Do yourself a favor and check this place out. There is a great variety of flavors including TRADITIONAL, TROPICAL, and FRUIT ONLY selections. The staff is very helpful and encourage tastesIf you are unfamiliar with the flavors. They also have crepes and savory items as well. This puts Greaters to shame!

Have been wanting to stop by since I've moved into the area! A year later and I finally stopped in! Needless to say I will 100% be going back! I got the elote fuego, two tamales (1 red, 1 green) and a smoothie with some tajin in it! Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced! The staff was so kind and helpful! I was a little nervous but the girl who helped me was so patient and asked enough question to make sure I got what I wanted! The place had a really welcoming and family friendly atmosphere! They had some Mexican snacks that i definitely want to stop back in for! Can't wait to bring my family!

Dear reader this place is amazing!!! We were like Charlie in the chocolate factory. There were soooo many choices. Ice cream, agua frescas, crepes, shakes, churros and that's not even half of what they offer. We wanted to sample all of the ice cream flavors and due to our limited number of limbs could only leave with so much. We will be back, and you should check them out as well.

This family run ice cream and fast type food restaurant has moved into a new larger location right behind their old location. They have a wide variety of flavors, many with tropical fruit or spices. They also have sorbets. Their waffle cones are awesome with chocolate dips, sprinkles and other decorations. They serve simple foods like burgers, dogs and I think chili. They have game machines in the back of the dining room. My 2 problems with this establishment are the noise level (painful to my ears) and the slow service. It was not crowded at all but the counter girls were busy chatting with friends and each other. They ignored us til we walk along the counter to stand right in front of them!

Cold creamy goodness served up with a smile (under the mask). Oh, was this place a wonderful surprise for a weeknight after-dinner treat. They have so many options..tons of ice cream flavors and a bunch of food items (ie walking tacos in Doritos bags). They have fresh fruit popsicles and fresh fruit bowls as well. I don't love fruit, so I was just there for the ice cream! My favorite flavor was "frappuccino". They have cool, unusual flavors like "queso" and "tequila" too. They texture is super creamy and I love that its not super sweet. So glad to have found this little gem.

I love ice cream and this place has very good ice cream. The high reviews are definitely true.I ordered a small and it was pretty generous. I absolutely loved the flavor and the color! The ice cream tastes fresh and it was good. You can tell they put time into developing the flavors and texture. The ice cream is thick and creamy, it coats your mouth. The ice cream is also very affordable, not too expensive!I recommend this place for families, casual dates, a group outing, or a sweet treat! It's a really unique store, with unique ice creams. I like the different types of ice cream they have and flavors.They have their own private parking lot, so you don't have to worry about parking space. There's plenty of tables inside and out for you to sit and enjoy. I like getting ice cream and eating it outside on a warm day.

I have always been fan of mexican street food and ice creams . This place just does this for me. Strawberry cheesecake and blackberry cheesecake flavors in ice cream were fantastic. Mangonada and a pink colored raspado the name of which unfortunately i have forgotten was just mouth watering. They have newly renovated and moved to a bigger spot which was neat and tidy and the colors in the interior just felt fun and wants you to keep coming back ! Pictures to be posted soon!

I didn't realize until walking in and scoping their ice cream flavors that this shop is linked in with the other Dulce Vida Mexican ice cream shops around Columbus. I'm going to be honest, I'm not a fan of any of the Dulce Vida's, as their ice cream tastes (and looks) like it's flavored with syrups, rather than actual fruit dumped in. For example, the colors of DV's ice creams are bright and bold - pistachios, for instance are more of a tan, coffee color as opposed to a bright, bold mint green. I can taste the difference, too. However, I will say that PDV is still a great locally owned choice if your in the area and get a cool urge for a sweet treat!!

Get bored with the typical ice cream shop, then come and check this place out. Not only they have tons of flavors to choose from, they do have some unique flavor that you may not find from other places. And no need to stress out from picking, the lady is happy to offer you some sample to try them all.Beside ice cream, they have popsicles, drinks, and lot of Mexican snacks that I never heard of. This colorful haven will be my to go place for desserts and snacks.
