Casa del Chocolate
It’s enough to make even Willy Wonka wonder. You’re sitting next to a chocolate factory but, more often than not, there’s none to be had in this bizarre little casa just off the main square. The quickest way to check out Baracoa’s on-off supply situation is to stick your head around the door and utter the word ‘chocolate’ to one of the bored-looking waitresses. No hay equals ‘no, ’ a faint nod equals ‘yes.’ On a good day it sells chocolate ice cream and the hot stuff in mugs. For all its foibles, it’s a Baracoa rite of passage.

Cafetería Las Begonias
The day-time nexus for Trinidad’s transient backpacker crowd, meaning it’s a good font of local information and the best place in town to meet other travelers over sandwiches, espresso and ice cream. There’s a bar behind a partition wall, clean (ish) toilets in a rear courtyard, and four or five cheap – but always crowded – internet terminals.

Coppelia La Arboleda
Santiago’s ice-cream cathedral is a little out of the center, not that this lessens the queue-length. Yell out ¿Quién es último? (who is last?) and take your place on the Av de los Libertadores side of the parlor. Milkshakes are sometimes sold from the outside window.

Cremería el Kikiri
What, no Coppelia? Kikiri is Sancti Spíritus’ longstanding provincial stand-in. Alternatively, hang around long enough in Parque Serafín Sánchez and a DIY ice-cream man will turn up with his ice-cream maker powered by a washing-machine motor.

Cremería Yumurí
Queue up with your pesos for sundaes or tres gracias (three scoops) in flavors such as coconut and café con leche (espresso with milk). Not surprisingly, it’s insanely popular.

Heladería
Guaranteed to make you even more cheerful is this clean place where you can get a substantial tres gracias (three scoops) for the price of half a teaspoon’s worth of Haagen Daas.

Heladería Coppelia
What, a Coppelia with no queues? Set above the new shopping complex in Parque de las 8000 Taquillas, Varadero’s ice-cream cathedral is bright, airy and surprisingly uncrowded.

Coppelia
You’ll require the patience of a saint, but the two peso a scoop ice cream (when there is ice cream) is cheap and the atmosphere is usually cheerful.

Ice-cream Stall
Stand around long enough in Parque Serafín Sánchez and the ice-cream man will turn up with his Mr Whippy-style ice cream-maker.

Tropi Crema
In the absence of a Coppelia, the Tropi, on the southwest corner of Parque Céspedes, does its best – in pesos, of course.
