Nevería Roxy

**Review: Nevería Roxy - A Timeless Ice Cream Experience in Mexico City** Nestled in the heart of Mexico City, Nevería Roxy is more than just an ice cream parlor—it's a nostalgic journey into the past. As soon as you step through its doors, you’re greeted by a charming, old-school atmosphere that feels like a delightful step back in time. During my visit, I indulged in their famous dark chocolate ice cream, and it was nothing short of a revelation. The flavor was rich and velvety, with a perfect balance of sweetness and a deep cocoa essence that felt both luxurious and comforting. Each spoonful melted smoothly on my tongue, leaving behind a lingering taste that made me savor every moment. It was evident that this wasn’t just any chocolate ice cream; it was crafted with care, using high-quality ingredients and an age-old recipe that has stood the test of time. What makes Nevería Roxy truly special is not just the ice cream, but the entire experience. The retro décor, with its checkered floors and vintage posters, adds to the charm, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a treat. The staff, warm and welcoming, enhance the experience with their friendly service and passion for the craft. If you’re in Mexico City and craving something sweet, Nevería Roxy is an absolute must-visit. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, the chocolate ice cream is a must-try, and the ambiance will make you feel like you’ve discovered a hidden gem from a bygone era. It's a place where memories are made, one delicious scoop at a time.

Super cute spot. Quick, friendly service. Tasty menu. Affogato - 5/5 Absolutely delicious ice cream. Probably one of the best affogatos I’ve had. Service is quick and super friendly. Definitely will be back to try other options.

I loved the atmosphere! I had an awesome time spending time sitting down and relaxing my feet. The only thing is I speak English and I know like 2 maybe 3 sentences in Spanish(you can see where my problem starts) but my waiter was so kind. He didn’t speak good English… but he could understand it and that is all I need! Over all I would give this place a 1000/5 if I could!

Wow, the vanilla ice cream is delicious, the fruity flavors can sometimes be too sweet, the staff is super friendly and very attentive, there is always music and it is a very nice place!

I love this ice cream shop, I was here last year and had to come back!! So many options of ice cream and Nieve flavors - my favorite is the tamarind and guava! Perfect snack and for people watching

A quintessential classic ice cream shop with a variety of both fruit sorbet and creamy ice cream options. I enjoyed the guava and passion fruit options in a glass bowl dine in. So yummy! This shop is classic and so iconic.

Very good ice cream! Good experience!

Beautiful place to enjoy an ice cream in Condesa. Roxy has an old time feel and their service is quick yet kind. Their flavors mirror this beautiful Country and their specials like the Tres Marias and the Roxy Especial are delightful. They don't offer anything unique to any other Neveria but the history behind the shop and enthusiasm of tourists make it a great place for an ice cream date.

Hit or miss. The arroz con leche had a weird texture and flavor was close, not great. The amaretto was great and creamy. Definitely try tastings to find what you like. Don't feel pressure to give a tip if you don't want to. Nice people overall. Okay experience.

This was stop 6 of 7 on my Polanco walking tour. Everyone's favorite local spot. I was sold just by the fact they had mamey. There were so many other flavors. Can't wait to try more on my next visit.

This hit the sweet spot. The ice cream is full of flavor and creamy. I like this ice cream better than the place across the street. I recommend the banana split or a sundae. The ice cream also taste great on its own.

Had to check out Neveria Roxy after being recommended it by multiple friends. We went to the location in Condesa after dinner at Taqueria Turix. I was somewhat taken aback by how expensive a small double scoop was--approximately 5-6 USD (comparable to the artisanal ice cream places in the US like Salt and Straw) but a treat is a treat. I got the pistachio flavor and Kahlua almond (both were dairy based). They were good, but nothing show-stopping. I remember one of the flavors being a little bit on the icy side, which was a little disappointing for such a well-loved institution in CDMX. Based on the reviews, I should have tried some of the sorbets (like the tamarind).

I tried the nieves de chico zapote and it was so good. I was so happy while eating it. I wish I had enough stomach space to try the nieves de tuna but I will just have to visit again. I do wish I had this place / a Neveria Roxy location where I live because it's so good.

Yummy! We went 3 times during our visit in this neighborhood over 8 days. We tried Menta, Chocolate, Pistachio, Macadamia.

A GREAT, classic ice cream shop in Condesa. While visiting CDMX, we stopped by this local ice cream shop quite a few times. Perfect for a quick ice cream treat to-go or sitting in and enjoying with family or friends. Pricing is very inexpensive compared to some of the more boutique ice cream shops near the area. We loved trying the Tres Marias and banana split!

Light ice cream, sweet but nit too sweet, tried the nuez flavor , had tasty almond bits, would recommend

Short of carbon-dating the place, I couldn't tell you when Nevería Roxy was established. What I could tell you is that Nevería Roxy is my vision of a Mexico City ice cream joint circa 1950's. It looks like a place my mom and dad would've gone to while courting, to share an ice cream soda, had they met in Mexico City rather than LA. It's fairly impossible to walk by Nevería Roxy without noting the ever present crowd of families and couples spilling out onto the sidewalk, the bouquet of mylar balloons floating in mid-air, and the dark-skinned beggar woman leaning against the building asking for pesos. It took about five minutes of sitting at the counter, eating a scoop of mango ice cream, before I declared this "my place", certain that I'd stop each day as I made my way between my inn and the subway. But life intervened. On each subsequent pass, the line snaked out the door and there would be no sidling up to a counter seat. So it remained, a single scoop of Mango ice cream consumed at the counter, with which to remember Nevería Roxy. Good enough. If you're passing by and have a little time stop in for some ice cream circa 1950. In most instances, you can't go back but I'd beg to differ in the case of Nevería Roxy. Cool, busy place, and obviously a Condesa institution.

If you want to try some of the best fruit sorbets, look no further. We stumbled upon Nevería Roxy while exploring CDMX on a weekend trip. I was already full from churros but had to stop when I saw tamarind sorbet on the menu. Tamarind sorbet is absolutely incredible and so hard to find! We ordered a large scoop of it as well as a savor chico was basically chiku/sapota. The tamarind was soooo delicious that I came here every day of my trip to indulge in a scoop. I also tried the maracuya/passionfruit which was amazing. The mandarin and strawberry were great picks too. Service was super friendly so I highly recommend! I love the old school ice cream parlor vibes of this place!

A very cute little spot. Really nice staff and top grade offerings. A cool spot on a hot day, the atmosphere was 1952 but fresh and wonderful. Stop here to cool off and enjoy the ice cream and sweet service.

I tried the rompope ice cream and it was so good! Can't wait to try more. Location was Parque La Mexicana.

We went back to the spot several times for sundaes and the flavor arroz con leche. If you've been walking a lot, it's a good spot to rest for a while and watch all the locals come through.

Solid ice cream sundae I had at Neveria Roxy. I got chocolate, vanilla, and pistachio. Flavors really good and not too sweet. That have many to choose from. The ice cream sundae is not all that big compare to the ones I've had in the NYC. You will be able to finish it.

Happy with homemade ice cream in Mexico City. I searched the area for ice cream and this came up almost immediately. There are the regular flavors (vanilla, chocolate etc) but what drew me were the ones that were bit out of the ordinary. I settles on the Coco con Kahlua. It was light and sweet but not as creamy as ice cream in the states with bits of shredded coconut mixed in. It was a nice treat on a warm afternoon. The consistency was more ice like that cream like, which does not factor against the ice cream itself. Why did I expect samples of the ice cream ? Must be a US thing. Restaurant was clean but it was very basic - no frills, just straight to the point.

Frenetic when busy, but the perfect location to chat and wait in line outside. Scoops are small, much unlike a portion in the States. Probably the best for all our waistlines! Lots of flavors to choose from-- we went with a scoop of coffee and pistachio. If you want a consistency closer to sorbet, order from the nieves list. If you'd like it creamier, order a helado.

This is the best I've cream I've ever had. I couldn't get enough of their strawberry flavor! Everything is so fresh and the shop is co cute. The workers are also so nice. One of my favorite places ever!!!!

Lots of unique flavors made in a traditional Mexico City style. If you're looking for creamy ice cream, this is not it, but there's nothing wrong with the texture of what they offer here. You can get water based or cream based, and there's a long list of flavors to choose from. Many of the flavors are seasonal, so check back often. We had the Nuez, Coco and Mamey. They were all delicious. Great flavors, not to sweet and not too heavy. Get them in a cone or a cup, mix them up, share them.

I don't get why everyone loves this place. Ok, it's cute and old timey but that only gets you so far. I've tried the ice cream a few times now and it's just not very good. The flavor isn't strong enough and the texture is icy. I'd much rather get a Magnum bar or buy some Ben and Jerry's.
