Helados Cometa
Just around the corner from Deco Housing Julia Ortiz Monasterio, the ice cream diva of Helados Cometa, cooked around NYC before returning home to open a charming ice cream shop in late 2017. It’s the place for traditional ice creams and velvety sorbets in interesting flavors like mamey speckled with cacao nibs; matcha with dried cranberry; avocado; and jícama with ginger.
She captures the best in seasonal produce with small batches, held in buttery, shatteringly crisp homemade cones (or a cup; but why?). The patterned tile floor, the bold blue and white paint job, and the cheerful pink totes are exemplary of the good design so common in this city. Colima 162, Roma Norte.
