Heladería Coppelia is an outdoor ice cream complex set in a small park in Vedado, Havana’s once glamorous residential neighbourhood. It was made famous by the internationally lauded film ‘Fresa y Chocolate’. At the beginning of the movie, a gay man tries to pick up a resistant straight guy over a bowl of strawberry and chocolate ice cream here: “Today is my lucky day” he smiles. “I’ve found a bon bon”. In 1966 it was reported that 26 flavours were offered. Nowadays there is often only one: strawberry with chocolate.
