Heladería El Sueño

Founded in 1996, Heladería El Sueño (Dream Ice Cream) has become a benchmark for artisanal ice cream in Tenerife. With two prime locations in Candelaria —one on the Caletillas seafront promenade and another next to the Basilica of the Patron Saint of the Canary Islands— this family-run ice cream parlour offers an unmatched sweet experience by the sea.

Their ice creams are made fresh daily with natural, locally-sourced ingredients, featuring uniquely Canarian flavours such as banana, gofio (toasted maize flour) and mojo cream, alongside classics like Belgian chocolate and Madagascar vanilla. The menu also includes gluten-free and vegan options, catering to every taste.

More Than Just Ice Cream

El Sueño is not just an ice cream shop — it is a meeting place. Their displays of handmade pastries, natural smoothies and fresh-fruit slushies turn every visit into a special moment. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, perfect for a break after a stroll along the seafront or a visit to the Basilica.

Our recommendation? Order a tub of banana and gofio ice cream, grab a seat on the terrace and watch the sunset over the Atlantic. There is no better plan in Candelaria!
