We are local gastronomy made into ice cream!
We love culture, we are curious about culinary traditions and we are passionate about sweets.
Join us and dive into a delicious cultural tour of Catalonia with a sweet touch because there’s no point in being bitter, and if it's ice cream... it's got to be pure happiness!
Artisanal ice creams with classic and speciality flavours
We have artisanal ice creams with classic flavours using and indulging the most local and highest-quality products, but also speciality flavours: the ones associated with the gastronomy of Catalonia and Spain that will make you want to try them all. Don't worry, if you can't choose from so many flavours, you can give our Baboia a spin to help you.
Bar and Seasonal Flavours
For our more adventurous visitors we have a bar featuring liquid flavours now in their chilled form to captivate your curiosity. And if you are always up to date on the latest trends there are also this season's specials, because ice cream isn't just for summer... We've got autumn flavours like chestnut, sweet potato and marzipan treat, themed ones like Sant Jordi Rose and Sant Joan Sweet Flatbread, or limited-time products like Clementines from Ebre Lands and Maresme Strawberry – ice cream all year round!
Our sweet shop, home sweet home
Anyone with a sweet tooth will be right at home at The Sweet Shop: waffles, crepes, nougats, and milkshakes all year round. Are you feeling daring?
Nothing happens by chance. Life is a roulette wheel of emotions and, for us, colours and flavours too. What's your mood? Leave it to chance!
Chilled art, straight from Jordi Roig's workshop
Our signature ice creams, sorbets, ice lollies come straight from the workshop of the award-winning Jordi Roig, an expert ice cream maker who has been creating his acclaimed ice creams for almost 30 years with the goal of making the world a sweeter and more refreshing place. Anyone from Canet de Mar (Maresme Coast, in the province of Barcelona) will know who we are talking about, for everyone else... you’ll have to try Baboia and then you won't forget his name. We are proud to sell his creations.
*Baboia
The baboia is the Catalan ancestor of the roulette wheel. It was a fairground attraction where the player span an arm with a metal blade revolving round an axis which, when it stopped, pointed to a number that corresponded to a prize. Baboias were actually a very popular form of gambling in Catalonia until quite recently. One of the first documented references to this game dates back to the early seventeenth century, and expressly forbade it. Despite being banned, the game was very popular at fairs and popular festivals until well into the twentieth century.
Since we are a speciality ice cream parlour born in Catalonia and we work with local produce, recovering this term from Catalan history felt like the perfect tribute, reflecting the traditional ingredients we use, the forbidden pleasure of ice cream, and leaving our choice to chance by taking the responsibility for choosing the flavour away from us. It encapsulates something special, local, and above all fun like ice cream.
