By far the best ice cream in Cartagena. Poor choice but very high quality. Just not putting 5 stars because they tried to charge 5% extra for credit card without even telling me.... Poor customer service

I scream, you scream....we all scream for gelato! There are several spots to enjoy fresh and delicious gelato in Cartagena, but if you see Costa Vita...make sure to stop! They have a variety of unique and flavorful gelato options, as well as coffees, pastries, and small snacks. We stopped at Costa Vita after a 4 hour tour of the city and the gelato HIT THE SPOT! 10/10 recommend the coffee flavor of gelato at Costa Vita!

Es una buena opción si andas por el centro, los helados son ricos y muy bien servidos, no tuve oportunidad de probar el café, pero me quedo con lo rico de sus helados, sin embargo los precios si se me hacen un poco elevados, la calidad del servicio aceptable, nada espectacular, regresaría si, pero no sería mi primera opción. Recomendable

Brilliant place. The coffee was brilliant (we ordered a frappuccino), and the strawberry juice was homemade and made in front of us and was delicious. To top it all off they put both the drinks into a neat see-through can (photo attached), to add to a nice memory. We also ordered a pistacho gelato which was very nice as well. Recommended!
