Artisanal ice cream shop on Praça Santos Dumont, in Itacaré: small daily batches, cacao from southern Bahia, fruits like cupuaçu and cajá, vegan options and tastings before you choose.
It's just past two in the afternoon and the shop on Praça Santos Dumont opens its doors. The first thing placed in your hand isn't a cup or a cone, it's a small spoon: at Guma, you taste before you choose. Cupuaçu, cajá, passion fruit, coconut, cacao. What's on the day's list you only find out on the spot, and that's the fun of it.
Small batches, made every day
Production is artisanal and daily, in small batches. In practice, this means the flavors follow the season, the fruits available and whatever came out of the kitchen that day. Come back the next day and you'll find a similar list, not necessarily the same one.
The recipes are original and start from Brazilian ingredients. There are vegan options, available depending on the day's production: if that's you, ask before deciding.
Cacao from the south, fruits from across the country
The cacao comes from farms in southern Bahia, the same region where Itacaré is located. The fruits are Brazilian, and the shop works with names that out-of-town visitors tend not to know well: cupuaçu and cajá share space with coconut and passion fruit. If you don't know where to start, tasting first settles the question without any rush.
A shop with Jorge Amado in the background
The ice cream shop draws inspiration from the world of Jorge Amado, the writer who turned Bahian cacao into literary material. The reference suits the place: it's in the center of Itacaré, at Praça Santos Dumont, number 2, and it's open Tuesday to Sunday, from 14:00 to 23:00. Closed on Monday.
The shop also caters to events, hotels and restaurants, which explains why its name shows up on other tables around town.
Who it's for
For those who prefer Brazilian fruit ice cream to catalog flavors, for groups of friends and families, and for anyone looking for a vegan option. The venue's listing notes that it's good for groups and has accessibility. It's not the place for anyone expecting a fixed menu, with the same flavor guaranteed on any given day, nor for anyone arriving before 14:00 or on Monday.
