The Lares Ice Cream Parlor (Spanish: Heladería de Lares) is an ice cream store located in the town of Lares, Puerto Rico.
Heladería de Lares

The ice cream store is located in front of the town square of Lares. It closed at the end of February 2014, due to the death of its founder[3] and re-opened in March 2017. It is open 7 days a week and offers around 50 different ice cream flavors on a regular basis.[4]
