Etoca

Made with a restrained sweetness to let the fruit shine, the soft serve can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fruit. Visitors have described it as milky but clean-tasting, with a light, smooth texture. Some have enjoyed it with Shine Muscat grapes in a parfait or paired with the ‘Amarin’ strawberry; the fruit takes centre stage in these combinations.

The menu features soft serve made with fruit such as Shine Muscat and Queen Nina grapes, Kanta pears and Toki apples. There is also an option topped with an assortment of 3 grape varieties. Varieties and prices can change with the season, so it is worth checking which fruits are available that day. Fruit snacks and cold-pressed juice offer other ways to enjoy the produce. One visitor who tried the Toki apple juice added lemon from Hachijo Island, finding that it remained refreshing while retaining the apple’s sweetness. The menu states that the juice contains no added water, ice or sugar, making it a different way to savour the fruit from the soft serve.

Etoca offers both dine-in and takeaway. One visitor’s account notes that seating inside is limited, with a simple bench outside. It is a fruit parlour in Mita where you can choose how to enjoy fruit, whether in a sweet treat or a drink.
