The girl who was serving was extremely kind. She made an incredible waffle with various fruits and drizzled with liquid pistachio chocolate. The other temptation was lemon cheesecake. The atmosphere was very pleasant with nice music and cool relief from the heat outside. I also used the toilet which was clean and it had soap, fresh water and napkins.

Quickly became our favourtire/go to location for ice-cream while staying in Protaras - was so good I didn't dare try anywhere else (other than the first night before finding this place) due to not wanting to regret my choice - all the flavours I had were amazing, but the stand out for me had to be the chocolate, probably the best I had ever tasted - staff were so friendly & welcoming, they even got to recognise us!! go visit, you won't regret it.

Last year a disaster, a grave disappointment. A guy ftom the bar making the coffee. Hence the three star rating last year, though no review. This year much improved. A skilled barista. But, poor quality coffee beans. Barista tries his best but operates with poor quality coffee beans. Need to use far superior coffee beans. These days no excuse for poor quality coffee beans when spoilt for choice for coffee roasteries, though maybe not in Cyprus. Also need better quallity coffee grinders. Room for improvement. Though compared with what is available in Protaras, the best there is.
