Catarina Ferraz, chef at Cais | Cangote, Has Umami and Frida & Mina ice creams
“I have three ice cream shops that I really like. First, Cangote Sorvetes, with northeastern flavors, fruit and tapioca; Tem Umami, which has ice creams that look like desserts in a cone, very well made and with different cones; and Frida and Mina, to Pinheiros, because for me their salted caramel is a classic.”

Marco Espinoza, from Canto´n Peruvian and Chinese food | Kiss of Milk and Momo Ice Cream
“I like the ice creams at Bacio di Latte and Momo Gelato, especially the dulce de leche and pistachio flavors. For me, both places serve the original Italian ice cream.

Rhaiza Zanetti, pastry chef at TUJU | Frida & Mina and Pino & Co.
“I am an ice cream lover. I would exchange any dish for ice cream, whatever it is. Ice cream is good in all four seasons and serves to warm and cheer up. No matter the occasion, ice cream always! Therefore I confess that currently I have two ice cream parlors that make my heart flutter and I have to face queues for hours, if necessary I really like Frida&Mina: the characteristic cone of the house, the different and seasonal flavours, but above all the fact that it is ice cream by the spoon, as well as the pleasantness atmosphere of the place there in Pinheiros, where you take your cone and sit under the tree and contemplate your ice cream (and life!), on a cone flavors like strawberry balsamic and beer chocolate are delicious, but I confess that I’m waiting for the orange with cashews and the lemon and blueberry curd, among many others… And I know why it took me so long to discover Pine & Co. I recently ate the Yuzu ice cream and I fell in love with it I go there before coming to work to sample the flavors and try something new, and the space in front of the house, where you can enjoy the ice cream while reading a book and even having an espresso, makes the ice cream even better. “
Where:
- Frida and Mina. R. Artur de Azevedo, 1147, Pinheiros. 2579-1444. 12:00/20:00.
- Pino & Co. Where: R. Mateus Grou, 140, Pinheiros. 12/19 (Friday Sun 12/21; closed Monday).
Danillo Coêlho, by Mila | San Lorenzo and Pino & Co.
“At San Lorenzo, the texture and creaminess are incredible, with lots of technique and excellent ingredients. Without a doubt, the best pistachio ice cream in the city. Yoghurt with black cherry and San Gabriel, milk biscuits and caramel are also a great choice. At Pine & Co., or Pinéco, for those close to you, is the coolest new neighbor. The whole street with the smell of ice cream cones invites you to try an ever-changing flavor. More amazing flavors. My absolute favorite is the salted caramel and strawberry cheesecake.”
Where:
- Saint Lawrence. R. João Cachoeira, 1360 – Vila Nova Conceição. 3842-2070. 12pm/9pm.
- Pino & Co. Where: R. Mateus Grou, 140, Pinheiros. 12/19 (Friday Sun 12/21; closed Monday).
Daniela and Renato Neves, from Luce | Saint Lawrence
“We are fans of San Lorenzo, an Italian ice cream shop in Itaim Bibi and Morumbi. In addition to the award-winning ice creams, [a casa] It has very original flavors. The creaminess and flavor are incredible”, they explain. Daniela particularly likes the San Gabriel flavour, while Renato, the chocolate one. According to him, “the chocolate one is made with Callebaut and the original Italian cream, made with milk and not with cream” Dani underlines that “the combination of caramel and chocolate pieces is delicious”.
