Heladería Oiartzun, located on Ijentea Kalea 2, in the heart of Donostia–San Sebastián, is one of the city’s most emblematic ice cream parlors and a long-standing reference in local gastronomy. Established several decades ago, it has earned a reputation for the consistent quality of its products, its privileged location facing the Alderdi Eder gardens, and its elegant, minimalist presentation.
The establishment offers a wide selection of artisan ice creams and sorbets, all made using traditional methods and natural ingredients. Flavors range from classic options such as cream, chocolate, and strawberry to more distinctive varieties inspired by local tastes, including pistachio, Tiramisu, and coffee. Seasonal fruits and high-quality dairy products are key elements in the preparation, ensuring freshness and authenticity throughout the year.
The next door Pasteleria Oiartzun also serves pastries, cakes, and beverages, making it a popular stop for both tourists and residents at any time of day. The terrace offers one of the most pleasant settings in the city for a brief pause or afternoon refreshment.
Combining simplicity, quality, and a prime location, Heladería Oiartzun has become part of the city’s daily life and a must-visit for anyone exploring Donostia. Its commitment to artisanal production and its welcoming atmosphere make it an enduring symbol of the city’s refined yet accessible culinary tradition.
