Tropic Ice Cream
About This Spot
Stepping into Tropic Ice Cream in the heart of Cancún’s Centro feels a little like uncovering a bright, cheerful pause amid the island’s tropical buzz. The colors pop with a playful neon glow that wraps the space in a gentle nostalgia, inviting you to slow down and savor both the moment and the flavors waiting to be discovered. The pace here is unhurried, perfect for those wandering the streets after a day in the sun, searching for a cool, refreshing reprieve.
The air-conditioned interior offers a welcome relief and a chance to gather yourself, but it’s the warmth behind the counter that truly defines the atmosphere. There’s a genuine kindness in how visitors are met — not with a rush, but with curiosity and care, making the experience feel personal and unpretentious. Whether you’re there for a familiar favorite or ready to be surprised by a homemade creation, each bite seems to hold the thoughtful care of its maker.
The joy of Tropic Ice Cream lies in its approach to flavors that don’t just aim to please the palate but tell little stories of place and hands-on craftsmanship. It’s the kind of spot that invites you to make a mission of sampling something new each visit, turning a simple treat into a ritual of gentle discovery. And among the bright walls and neon-light hum, the genuine hospitality creates a comforting human moment—where strangers feel more like neighbors sharing in the simple pleasure of ice cream on a warm evening.

Stumbled upon this spot after dinner. The atmosphere is clean and brightly colored with neon signs providing nostalgia. The man who served us named Oscar was super kind and welcoming. We asked us what we’d like to try before asking us what we’d like to order. I tried the Dubai flavor and was sold immediately. I heard him tell another customer his flavors are all homemade. We can’t wait to come back!

Everything about this icecream store was phenomenal! The ice cream flavors had such a wide variety, I made it a fun mission to go back every night to try as many as I can. Not only that, but the service and hospitality were top tier, I’m saving this place for all my future trips back here!!

A Sweet Slice of Paradise with Oscar at Tropic Ice Cream! If you’re visiting Isla Mujeres and don’t stop by Tropic Ice Cream, you’re missing out on more than just delicious treat, you’re missing the chance to meet Oscar, one of the most genuinely welcoming hosts on the island. From the moment you walk in, Oscar greets you with a warm smile and a vibe that instantly makes you feel like family. His energy is infectious, his hospitality unmatched, and his passion for creating a memorable experience shines through in every scoop. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular, Oscar goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels at home. He’s not just serving ice cream! He’s serving joy, laughter, and a little taste of tropical magic. The flavors are fantastic, but it’s Oscar’s kindness and charisma that truly make Tropic Ice Cream a must visit gem. Five stars aren’t enough. Oscar deserves a whole constellation!

I was quite exhausted by the hot weather and then this place came to my rescue. It’s a nice icecream parlour and I loved the lotus biscoff flavored icecream. The owner was nice and friendly. The place has AC. So you can enjoy your icecream at peace.

Oscar is the best. We visited the shop while we were on the island and he recommended we try nearly all the flavors. The coconut ice cream was my favorite but the atmosphere is great and he is truly such a kind, down to earth person. It was a pleasure to visit, we cannot wait to come back!

If you’re visiting Isla Mujeres, Tropic Ice Cream is a non-negotiable stop. This isn’t just ice cream it’s a full experience of flavor, hospitality, and passion. The moment you walk in, you can feel the love that goes into everything, and a huge part of that is thanks to the owner, Oscar. He is incredibly sweet, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he’s creating. You can tell he cares about every guest and every scoop. Everything here is handmade and you can taste the difference. The flavors are rich, fresh, and unforgettable creamy without being heavy, sweet without being artificial, and full of real ingredients. It’s the kind of ice cream that actually surprises you with each bite. You’ll want to try more than one flavor, trust me. Do not skip this place. Whether you’re taking a break from the sun or ending your night with something sweet, Tropic Ice Cream is the perfect treat. Between the amazing flavors, the warm hospitality, and Oscar’s incredible energy, it’s the kind of spot that stays with you. Highly recommend. Don’t miss it!

The owner welcomed us in. Explained how he creates all the flavors. All the ice cream is made in their shop. Free samples. Great menu. So many options. We will be back again and again! Highly recommend. Tropic Ice Cream is the BEST shop on island.

A vibrant ice cream shop with wonderful staff. Especially the one guy is just so obvious excited about the food, which is so cute to see. They make the ice cream themselves and you can try as many as you like. They also offer waffles, crepes, nachos and so much more. I really recommend this ice cream shop, it was very tasty and they give there best to make you happy :)
