Eyescream and Friends

Cute little place to eat with your friends or by yourself. The cheesecake flavor was really good. I just wish there was a place to sit inside/outside…but we found a bench in front of the nearby restaurant.

This is such a great place to visit after going to the beach in Barceloneta. It is a great ice cream concept that looks so cute! First, you get to choose your ice cream flavor. Next, you get to choose which toppings you would like. The ice cream is in the form of shaved ice except it contains milk.
I got cheesecake flavored ice cream and as per recommendation by the employee, I had strawberry jam and Oreos as my toppings. I found it very convenient that everything was in a box so I don’t have to worry about eating and walking with fears of spilling at the same time.
This concept was a really cute idea, and I totally recommend getting it to deviate from your typical ice cream cones/​cups.

eyescream and FRIENDS is a cute small hipster shaved ice cream joint facing the water. The design is simplistic yet trendy with great ice cream flavors. I had the cheesecake cup and my sister had the Mango full package. They also put small Googly eyes on the ice cream to add to the story of the ice cream. Cheesecake flavor was good but i really liked the mango flavor. They also have a large assortment for toppings with gummy bears, caramel, condensed milk, sprinkles etc. Would like if they brought this place to NY! I could see it doing well in the concrete jungle :) they also played some cool music — one song I recognized from Gramatik!

Cute idea! You walk in and if you want the works, take a cardboard takeout box with spoon and napkin built in, with little holes for each of the foods you get to pick out. Pick an ice cream flavor — we got wildberry yoghurt — and two toppings. The toppings are prettily laid out in a grid of little plastic cups, and there is quite the assortment — from cookie crumbs, to gummi bears, to yogurt chips, to syrups. Apparently the only other locations are in Dubai, Singapore, Egypt, but I’m hoping one will come to the US! We do love our shaved ice creams here. This was a great little treat and break from walking up the promenade.

Wow, what a cool idea for frozen yogurt! I accidentally found this cute shop on my way back from the beach one evening and I couldn’t resist to try their yogurt! It’s tray of sweetness with shaved ice cream/​frozen yogurt and your choice of toppings! Loved this concept and execution! It’s appealing even to adults who are kids at heart! The staff was very friendly and explained the process to us. I got the berry frozen yogurt which was very light and delicious! Definitely will come back when I am in BCN next time!

Pondría una estrellas pero el merchansidising me tiene enamorada… Y es lo único.
Desde luego está pensado para el turismo porque los letreros del local y todo esta puesto en inglés…
El helado no está mal pero no le haces una ovación.
Eliges una base a elegir entre seis, y después coges dos tarrinas pequeñas con sendos toppings al precio de 4,50 €.
Es gracioso y para probarlo no esta mal, pero no creo que repita porque el sabor no es de lo que no olvidas.
Las galletas están algo más logradas pero aún así lo considero caro para la calidad.

Cutest ice cream ever! They get 5 stars on originality, packaging and friendly service. And obviously everything is better with googly eyes. The ice cream it self gets probably 2 – 3 starts. Because they need hard frozen ice cream so they can be shaved into the piles, the consistency isn’t as creamy and smooth as most your other gelato type of ice creams all over Europe. And while the toppings were fun as part of the package, they weren’t anything extraordinary and didn’t add to the taste. But, still a super fun place, definitely stop by if you are near the beach in Barcelona!

I love this place! We trekked all over Barcelona just to try it! Its a very cute concept that tastes wonderful! I hope they open up more soon!

Creative ice cream place. They frozen all ice cream into a cylinder shape and have a ice shaving machine to make it into a layered ice cream and finally they put 2 candied eyes which makes it your ice cream friend.
Taste is a good and if you are along the beach, give it a try!

Loved this unique place! Very nice design, unique character, although primarily it’s all about the visual experience, rather than the taste. The ice cream was delicious but not special in its own way.
However, I really appreciated the concept and would recommend to anyone who’s on their way to the beach to stop by this place and experience ice cream in a new way!
As was mentioned in one of the previous reviews, this parlor definitely fits into Barcelona’s artsy-​side.

Petit magasin coincé entre deux restaurants et pas très repérable, mais qui offre cependant aux visiteurs une bonne surprise.
Le jeu de mot de l’enseigne est accrocheur et nous incite à rentrer pour découvrir un nouveau concept bien sympa: choisir sa glacé («râpée» et non en boule comme ailleurs, plutot sympa, et en quantité respectable) puis deux toppings parmi choix de coulis, pépites, bonbons, gâteaux… Et la touché finale, ajout des deux yeux en sucre pour créer le petit bonhomme Eyescream!
Ca a un côté très ludique, et en plus, c’est bon! Petit bémol peut être: 4,50 € pour cela, c’est peut être un peu cher pour ce qui reste qu’une glacé un peu agrémentée.

Loved everything about this place. At first, my girlfriend and I were a little uncertain about the googly eyes and the gimmicky phrases. But once we saw that the ice cream was shaved, and then had our first bites, we were sold.
Cute little shop in Barcelona. I’d definitely bring my friends by.

Such an adorable and unique ice cream shop! It’s right on the way to the beach and worth a stop. You pick up a bowl and choose two little cups with toppings, which they have tons of, then you ask for the flavor you’d like! The ice cream isn’t traditional scoops, it’s more like shaved into thin layers creating a very interesting and light texture. Yummy overall!

Cutest thing ever! And the yogurt is so good and a genius innovation!

Ante todo, curioso y original. Montones de toppings para elegir, de fruta, de galleta picada, golosinas, chocolates tanto líquido como en bolitas… no, si será por toppings… Los sabores de helado a elegir son 7, aunque dicho así parezcan pocos no lo son, porque los toppings hacen el resto. Yo probé el de yogur de moras, sabor bastante curioso teniendo en cuenta el número de sabores que tienen y estaba delicioso!
El local es muy agradable pero si tu idea es tomártelo en el mismo local… no! No hay mesas ni barras en la heladería. El precio entra dentro de lo razonable por el producto que ofrecen, poco corriente y muy bien presentado. Tal como se ve en las fotos, el helado va servido en una especie de bandeja de carton con cuchara, servilleta y sitio para dos toppings. Aunque… también está la opción de comprar solo el helado, sin topping.
Muy recomendable para probar una heladería muy diferente a las que solemos conocer!

I swear this has got to be the cutest thing I’ve seen. They serve shaved froyo in a kit with eyes and you can add toppings to it. The yogurt is light and not too sweet. I had the mulberry but they didn’t have much topping choices to go with it besides cookies, chocolate and what not. I wish they had more fruit. I ended up getting the trail mix and Oreos.

One of the best ice creams i’ve had in Barcelona. Cool and original design. Definitely a must go every time I pass by it.

Okay, let’s forget about how adorable and clever the name of this place is. Let’s talk about the ice cream. I have lived a great 20 years on this planet. Well, at least I thought I have. After I took my first bite of the freshly shaved ice cream I had to sit down and reevaluate my life. I had to walk to the Sagrada Famila and ask God why He had let me live life without trying this place.
You walk into the place and there is a person who is fluent in English and they help lead you through the process. First you pay, pick your flavor of ice cream, then you pick two toppings. After you are done picking your topping the master shaves a block of the flavor you chose into your bowl. And as if the process couldn’t get better they add two eyes to your ice cream to not only make your treat more delicious, but adorable as well.
What a perfect treat for the way to or from the beach
A must try in Barcelona!

Oh come on ice cream with eyes on it… I have this obsession with putting googly eyes on everything at home. The ice cream flavors are basic put it is the simple concept of eyes on ice scream that makes this so fun. Prices were very decent, customer service was fun.

Muy novedoso tanto en concepto como variedad de sabores para combinar coló el helado. El servicio es muy bueno y la experiencia vale la pena probarla. El helado como tal es excelente sobretodo por el corte en hoja que le la la máquina que lo hace más placentero al degustar.
Ojalá no tuviera que generar tanto desecho para un helado eso si, pienso que podrían aunque sea recomendar usos secundarios para el cartón.

Interesante y divertido concepto de helado con ojitos. Es muy gracioso tener la impresión de comerse un personaje de ficción. El helado viene presentado en laminas lo que cambia de la tradicional presentación y textura en forma de bola. El helado es mas ligero porque puedes elegir sorbetes. La posibilidad de combinar con otros dos ingredientes, como mermeladas, leche condensada, cookies, smarties es infinita… le da un carácter versátil que me gusto mucho.
Su precio es muy asequible, son 4 €, el helado solo 3,20 €.

‘Put a pair of eyes on anything, you will give a life to it’ said one designer. It’s true. Even an ice-​cream can animate little creatures but they just won’t taste that good. It is shave ice and melts before you know it. I personally like thick and creamy ice-​cream. So I was not satisfied with it.
Stylish packaging, postcards, bottle of waters that come with as ’ tears’: All cool and fun in accordance with the BCN’s creative scene. However that was it.
But hey, at least it is a great photo opportunity, so stop by!

Kids absolutely loved loved loved this place. Owner was island friendly and walked the kids through the whole experience. You will never find a place like this anywhere else.
The design in the boxes, marketing & graphics of this shop are creative and humorous. I highly recommend this place for the young and young at heart.
Chocolate was a rich dark chocolate flavor and the vanilla was a sweet cream in flavor. The shaved ice piles up high and seems like too much, but all my kids finished it fine to the bottom of the bowl.
100% must try in BCN !

Very nice place!
But don’t combine fruit topping and fruit ice-​cream — too sweat.

The concept of this place is very fun, as is the marketing. Every time I pass it, it makes me smile. However you pay for all the extra stuff in the price of the ice cream. It’s shaved ice, so it’s not as dense as gelato, and if you don’t like the toppings that you picked, then you’re stuck with a very expensive flop.
I’m also saddened by how much waste the containers create — it’s a whole cardboard tray, plus the cups with your ice cream and each topping, that go into the trash when you’re done.

Revolucionario, super original, práctico y resultón! ¿Qué más se le puede pedir a este nuevo formato de helado que se ha implantado en la Barceloneta? Pues yo os lo digo, que están riquísimos y son adictivos!
Local super bien resuelto, de líneas, colores y grafismo minimalista. En este establecimiento «la vidilla» la ponen los monstruitos de colores, que animan a pequeños y mayores y sus encantadores propietarios. Siempre un trato próximo y amable, independientemente del idioma de su interlocutor. Así da gusto!
Sin duda una heladería «cool» que va a dar mucho que hablar en las largas caminatas que todos nos pegamos por el Paseo Borbón en la temporada primaveral y estival. El packaging es ingenioso a más no poder y la variedad de sabores y topings disponibles es suficiente para crear cieeeentos de combinaciones distintas!
Un sitio para irse pasando; os aseguro que el precio no es obstáculo para darse un capricho goloso de vez en cuando.

pedir un helado de cheescake y pagar 4,30eur crea unas expectativas que se ven frustradas al recibir un trozo de hielo en laminas y dos supuestos toppings minusculos. claramente un sitio prescindible

Si quieres un helado pero quieres algo diferente a la típica «gelateria» o los de yogurt, Eyescream and Friends es tu salvación. Un concepto diferente y un helado genial con una consistencia que está en un punto intermedio entre granizado y cremoso… es difícil de explicar! Además la presentación es genial, ya que el helado viene en una especie de bowl en una caja, donde van dos vasitos con los toppings. Muchos sabores para elegir (y me han dicho que irán agregando), porciones considerables y atendido por gente muy simpática.

Un nuevo concepto y un marketing muy estudiado han dado como resultado el «Eyescream & Friends», una pequeña heladería que ha abierto hace pocas semanas en plena Barceloneta y que promete mucho. Se caracteriza básicamente por servir los helados en una especie de cartón que contiene una tarrina de helado y dos «toppings» que puedes escoger según tu gusto, aunque ellos siempre te aconsejan cuales son las combinaciones que más suelen gustar. También te viene una cucharita de madera para mezclar y comer el helado. El chico que me atendió era muy amable y me enseñó unos pequeños bloques de helado congelado a –25ºC; ese bloque lo ponen en una maquina que lo convierte en el helado final que te comes de la tarrina, y la verdad es que de sabor me pareció buenísimo y la textura diferente a la habitual, como mucho más melosa, suave y fría — y no tan cremosa como los helados convencionales — y además, le ponen una especie de ojos divertidos al helado super graciosos (de ahí «eyescream» en vez de «icecream»). Pues eso, que les deseo mucha suerte en este original proyecto y espero poder irme pasando regularmente a experimentar con nuevos sabores y toppings :)

Ein Eis startup! Davon gibt es offenbar in Barcelona mehrere in Strandnähe. Wir wurden durch den Designerischen Style und die süße Karte an der Türe mit kleinen Monster drauf angelockt.
Das Konzept funktioniert so. Man bekommt spezielle Becher nach eigenem Design und wählt sich eine Eissorte aus welche dann nach eigenem Verfahren bei –20 grad geschnitten wird und dadurch speziell sanft wird. Dazu hat man 2 Töpfchen in jene man Saucen wie Caramel machen kann, und oben drauf die 2 Marzipan Augen um dem ganzen den süßen Monsterlook zu geben.
Woher ich das alles weiß? Wir waren fast die ersten Gäste in dem Frisch geöffneten Laden und die beiden Gründer waren erfreut ob unserer Freude für den Laden und haben uns alles erklärt!
Viel Glück mit dem Eis!

Excelente heladeria acaba de abrir! Les recomiendo probarla
