Ice Cream and Desserts in Jaco

Who doesn’t love dessert? Whether you are looking for a mid-afternoon scoop of ice cream to cool down or a late-night sweet treat, we have you covered. Check out our recommendations below for ice cream and other desserts near you.

Rebelissimo Gelato

Our favorite ice cream option in Jaco is Rebelissimo Gelato. Creamy, sweet, and oh-so-delicious, the authentic gelato served here is a must-have while you’re on vacation. Classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate are exquisite, yet the real show-stoppers are the tropical-inspired options like Mango, Key Lime Pie, Coconut, and Pineapple Basil. We won’t blame you if you choose the three-scoop option!

Heladeria El Barco

This local ice cream shop is a town favorite. The scoops are more affordable here and the flavors are just as delicious. While not gelato, the ice cream served here is still creamy and sweet. Multiple frozen yogurt flavors are offered as well. In addition to frozen treats, customers can also enjoy indulgent Nutella and fruit covered Belgian waffles.

Pops Ice Cream

A popular Costa Rica chain, Pops is where you’ll find ice cream by the cone or cup, frozen cakes, milkshakes, crepes, smoothies, and more. Enjoy your ice cream inside in the air conditioning for a truly cooling experience—it gets hot here!

Cafe Bohio

Cafe Bohio has much more to offer than freshly brewed coffee. Affogatos, ice cream sandwiches, and coffee milkshakes are all made with the cafe’s handmade thick and creamy vanilla gelato. And the pastry department delights customers every day with freshly baked pies, cakes, filled doughnuts, cookies, muffins, and more. Definitely a great option when that sweet craving hits!

Patisserie Manon

Jaco’s very own French cafe offers a delicious menu of cakes, cookies, pastries, macaroons, beignets and chocolate almond croissants. Grab a dessert and a hot cup of coffee for a mid-afternoon treat. Delicious breakfast options include waffles and French toast.
