Launched in Paris in early 2020, La Quéquetterie has quickly grown to 10 locations, and it looks like the family isn't finished growing.

The names are evocative: Sexy Coconut, Black and White, Sugar Daddy, Coco Lover, Cugar or the legendary unicorn... You can also create your own delicacy by choosing the base and toppings to add.

The Loco Polo comes straight from Spain. In a latino atmosphere, we discover frozen sticks not quite like the others.
