Caffeto makes ice cream concoctions like banana splits and brownie sundaes that are out of this world. While they have many traditional favorite flavors such as chocolate and vanilla, be sure to try some Ecuadorian tropical fruits like guanabana and maracuya. For the non-ice cream lovers, the cakes and pastries are very tasty too.

Estamos listos para este San Valentín. Ven a compartir un momento especial junto a nosotros. Te esperamos.
