Self-service ice cream shop takes South Tenerife by storm
Ice cream has become much more than just a summer treat; it is now a creative trend in gastronomy, inspiring everything from gourmet desserts to viral foodie experiences. The latest sensation in Tenerife is not a multinational chain or a long-established brand, but a young local project that has quickly captured attention online.
In the south of the island, a video by content creator Árány on TikTok has propelled Froyosi Canarias into the spotlight.
This Los Cristianos dessert bar lets customers design their own ice cream in true self-service style. Sold by weight, each creation can be topped with up to 100 different options, offering countless combinations and making every visit unique.
The concept has been welcomed as a refreshing twist on traditional ice cream parlours and has spread rapidly across social media.
Froyosi Canarias is located at Calle Juan XXIII, number 5, in Los Cristianos, with another branch in Puerto de la Cruz. Beyond ice cream, the menu includes bubble waffles, smoothies, milkshakes, and other made-to-order treats. The philosophy is simple: every customer decides exactly what they want, from the base to the toppings and final presentation.
Árány praised the shop in her video, saying there is “passion and joy in every detail,” reflecting the dedication of the young entrepreneurs behind the project. They aim to stand out in Tenerife’s competitive tourist market by offering not only high-quality products but also an experience that blends creativity with flavour.
The interactive format is key to its success. Customers choose their ingredients, build their dessert, and enjoy a personalised creation. Selling by weight adds flexibility, giving diners full control over what they order and pay for.
While ice cream is the main attraction, the variety of smoothies, shakes, and bubble waffles ensures there is something for everyone, making it a popular spot for families, couples, and groups of friends looking for something different to enjoy.
The success of Froyosi Canarias shows how a simple idea, combined with innovation and social media, can turn a small local business into one of Tenerife’s most talked-about food experiences, and one that appeals equally to residents and tourists.
