Amazing ice cream Galileia sells great ice cream. He uses only natural ingredients that grow on the island. The texture is very creamy. It was the best ice cream I have ever had!

The best homemade brownie+icecream you will ever taste served by the most lovely couple you will ever met. Five stars in every sense.

Super cute spot to wait out a high tide. The vibes are super chill, the owner is friendly and the ice cream is excellent! I didn't get to eat, but I hear the food and wine are very good as well, so I hope to return. Definitely worth a visit!

I love ice cream and theirs is one of the best I ever had. Homemade with fresh local fruits, the family owned ice cream shop offers a small variety of flavours that will make you want it every day. Andre made me a affogato with coconut ice cream and coffee beans form Chapada da Diamantina. Oh maan... make yourself a favour and have a few scoops of ice cream from the hidden gem shop while chatting with Andre. They sometimes offer a single-option of lunch. We had a ancho steak with fresh vegetables in olive oil. Incredible!

There is an amazing atmosphere in this place. The dishes are very tasty and well prepared, the owners are very friendly, have excellent coffees and they make their own gelato, which is one of the best gelatos that I've ever eaten. If you go to Boipeba, you should visit Galileia!
