Ice cream shop
Food and drink
Heladeria El Barco is a popular destination for ice cream enthusiasts, particularly those with a penchant for homemade gelato. With over 20 flavors to choose from and numerous toppings available, customers can indulge in a variety of delectable treats. In addition to their impressive selection of ice creams and gelato, the shop also offers traditional Churchill desserts consisting of shaved ice, fruit syrup, and condensed milk. A waffle sundae is another enticing option on the menu.
Heladería El Barco was hands down the best of the three ice cream shops we tried during our visit to Jacó! The service was super friendly and welcoming, and they had lots of different options to choose from. The servings were generous, the prices were affordable, and most importantly — the ice cream was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re craving a sweet treat while in Jacó!
Michael M — Google review
Excellent service and very kind employees. They let us try a few samples before we ordered. The ice cream is a very affordable price, especially if you get a cone instead of a cup. The flavors are good, but it won’t be the best ice cream you’ve ever had in your life like gelato in Italy. Still, It’s a great option for Jacó, and they even have flavors that change each day too.
Lesley L — Google review
great place to get good price ice cream. too bad the service from the staff is not good. you gotta show up and know everything you want in advance, jeeze give me time to think! but ice cream is good :)

For those hot beach days this is the spot to go too. Get the banana split and try there smoothies too. I like the different flavors they have to offer and the variety ways they can mix stuff up for you. I am happy you really get your monies worth here. It's great they have flavors I have never seen in the US before.

Heladería el Barco: Heavenly Gelato, Hellish Crowds Heladería el Barco is an absolute must-visit for gelato lovers in Jacó. Their flavors are a symphony of taste, from the classic chocolate to the most adventurous tropical concoctions. Each scoop is a creamy, dreamy indulgence that will transport you to gelato heaven. Unfortunately, the store's popularity is its own worst enemy. The lines are often out the door, making the wait for your icy treat feel like an eternity. It's a small price to pay for such deliciousness, but it's definitely something to keep in mind when planning your visit. If you have the patience for a crowd, Heladería el Barco is undoubtedly worth it. Tip: Try to go during off-peak hours for a less chaotic experience. -*- If my review helped you, please give it a like. Your appreciation encourages me to continue creating quality reviews.

Really good flavor and variety. Their sundae is probably their best value.

We enjoyed the sundaes, good portion and fair price, however while eating in the seating area we were confronted by a couple with a very large dog that insisted on sharing their political views in a very aggressive manner. In a few minutes everyone cleared off of the patio. The couple said they go there every day so I would advise the owners to do something or they may drive away business.

Good gelato considering you're in Costa Rica! We got the chocolate vanilla in a waffle bowl and it was good. They were quite busy but the staff was friendly and let us sample a couple of flavors. 👍

Visitors rave about their panuelos, empanadas, cakes, glazed croissants, and churros. The bakery offers a wide variety of baked goods at affordable prices.
If you come to Jaco you definitely have to stop by this bakery. Both the sweet and savory bakery are unique in taste. I have never tasted anything like this anywhere. The only thing complicated is the parking slots but you can park on the side of the street.

I had one mission while in Costa Rica: Find the BEST Tres Leches Cake 🍰… AND THIS IS THE PLACE!! It was so good that I had to come here almost every day to get more! The cake was absolutely delicious and perfectly moist and sweet! Also the prices are very reasonable ($2-3 for cup of coffee!) so if you need a snack or a place for breakfast, this place is PERFECT! Highly recommend if you’re in Jaco!
Shaun D — Google review
BEST DONUT EVER! I don't speak Spanish so I didn't want to ask about a few pastries so I went with a donut and one other item. I'm not big on donuts because they usually taste greasy and don't have a lot of flavor, not these. This was the best donut I've ever had. We even went back our last day to get them again. My son also said the croissants were the best he's ever had. Don't skip this bakery.

Nice little bakery. Great selection of sweet and savory and very fresh. They have good deals near the end of the day. It's set back from the road a bit and in a really busy spot on the roadway. Not saying that as a negative review of the bakery.....just more FYI because we missed it on our first try. Just look for the crowd. That should tell you something.

Rebelissimo Gelato Genuino in Jaco is a charming spot with a rebellious spirit and an impressive selection of gelato flavors. The place offers a wide variety of gelatos, with new flavors added almost daily, and also serves wonderful coffee. The homemade gelato is praised for its authenticity and delicious taste, with unique flavors made from real fresh ingredients. Customers recommend trying the pistachio and the key lime pie flavors.
Real homemade gelato. Maybe a tad on the sweet side, but delicious. The pistachio was the right color, i.e. no artificial coloring was added. The Affogato was made properly and served in a martini glass, as it should be. Sure it’s a little expensive, so just go once and enjoy!

Delicious, great vibe, adorable gelato-scooper! We are in love with this charming gelateria in the midst of Jaco stimulus! It's chill, there are vegan options, the gelato-scooper is polite and rather stunning, and we all exhaled with joy upon spooning the flavors into our mouths! Additionally, there were some premium flavors that we ordered, and they were so kind to let us know that those were slightly more $. They didn't need to tell us bc it was already clearly labeled on the sign, but he wanted to make sure we weren't surprised. Solid thumbs up for this place!!!

Rebelissimo Gelato Genuino offers some really unique and creative flavors of gelato that you won’t find anywhere else in Jacó. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious and clearly made with quality ingredients. The only downside is the price — it’s definitely on the higher end compared to other spots in town. But if you’re looking to treat yourself to some top-notch, flavorful gelato, it’s worth a visit!

This is the most delicious creamy ice cream. It reminds me of Canada’s basking robins but creamier. They have a lot of flavors for not vegan and non vegan ice cream. I love their coconut and their fruit ice flavors the most. Their “cono triple” triple cone is the best deal for the price:) and comes in a big waffle cone. It’s the most ice cream you will get for your money from all the things on the menu. A must try! My favorite was the orange ice but they have not made it for a couple years. Hopefully they bring it back! Cheers!

I’m addicted to ice cream. I started my diet today and failed as I walked by this place. I will now walk home and hate myself for walking in. The ice cream is a 8.25 out of 10 in ice cream taste texture but the waffle cone carried a whole 1 point. Today is the last day I eat ice cream for at least 30 days. I hope... damn this is hard

Patisserie Manon is a delightful bakery that truly excels in crafting an array of mouthwatering breads and pastries. Diners who typically shy away from bread find themselves irresistibly drawn to the offerings, often requesting more at dinner. The selection of cakes is equally impressive, with each slice being so substantial that even the heartiest appetites would be satisfied. Breakfast options are not to be missed either; their French Toast is a visual treat and a culinary delight.
This is the best bakery in town. Particularly, their sandwiches are best of the best.

Randy G — Google review
What incredible breads and pastries this place puts out. My guests who 'don't eat bread' were asking to 'pass the bread, please' multiple times at dinner. Then I pulled out the choices of cake slices. I cut each slice into 3 pieces...any one of which would have satisfied a lumberjack after a hard day's work. There was no clear winner among the choices. Each bite was better than the one before. And then this morning we ordered this for breakfast: French Toast. I will let the picture speak for itself.
Sarah P — Google review
Great omelette for breakfast! The only reason I couldn't give them that 5th star is because they don't have a clear menu for people visiting. It looks more like a bakery, and the guy showed us breakfast items that we couldn't see in the shop on his phone. It would be great to print an actual menu with options!

Stopped in today after walking by for months. I usually get coffee next door but today I just decided to try it. I was offered free samples of ice cream, another American was sitting outside and told me it was the best ice cream he ever had but I wanted a cold drink instead. I had a boba drink and it was really good. The ladies weee so very polite as well. I’ll def be back! I hate I missed out this long. Far better than going to Pops!!

The customer service is amazing. She was attentive, friendly, and courteous. We had the soft serve vanilla and blackberry. Delicious and full of flavor! We tried their Kurtosz ice cream cone, which is like a donut cake with Nutella with the ice cream of your choice and topped with fresh strawberries. Nice cool concept and tasted really good, too. We've tried the gelato and the other ice cream spots at Jaco and this is by far the best and our favorite. Too bad they close early so we have to make sure to plan accordingly. The seating area is nice as well. Must try when visiting Jaco.
