Tutti Frutti is one of Madrid’s most beloved and enduring ice cream shops. Tucked near the city center, this family-run heladería has been delighting generations with its artisanal flavors and unmistakable charm. It opens only in season, usually from April or May until October, which makes each visit feel like a little celebration of warmer days.
What sets Tutti Frutti apart isn’t just tradition, but imagination. Alongside the classics, you’ll find unique and daring flavors like black sesame or palomitas (yes, popcorn candy!), each one crafted with care and curiosity. The texture is creamy, the ingredients are natural, and everything is made on-site with love.
But perhaps the sweetest part of the experience is the warm, joyful service. The owners and their family are always there, passionate, friendly, and eager to help you discover your new favorite scoop.
Tutti Frutti isn’t just an ice cream shop; it’s a little ritual of Madrid life. A place that reminds you that summer has truly arrived, and that a city’s most special flavors often come with a personal story.
