Mexico City · nieve

Heladería Siberia

A wooden-barrel nieve house working continuously since 1930 on Coyoacán's plaza, with a flavour list that runs from mamey to chicharrón. If the argument is that Mexico City's tradition owes nothing to Italy, this is the shop that makes it without having to be explained.

What to order
Serenata de amor — coconut, cherry and walnut.
