The offer fits in one line and is written on the surfboard: sorvete de coco no coco da Morena, which is coconut ice cream in the coconut. The ice cream is coconut, white and creamy, and it comes in the shell of a green coconut cut open at the top, which works as the cup. The name plays on the word twice: the flavour is coconut and so is the container.
The house photos show the same gesture every time. The coconut rests on a small woven basket, the ice cream shows through the opening with a golden, crunchy topping, and a little Brazilian flag is stuck in on a toothpick. There is a metal spoon or a wooden one, depending on the photo, and in some there are two spoons in the same coconut. In others a paper umbrella is added, pink or yellow, the kind you get on beach cocktails.
The stall has a painted chalkboard with three items: the coconut ice cream, the coco mix and the coconut water. All three revolve around the same fruit, so anyone who does not want ice cream has the coconut water to drink, and anyone who wants both can order both.
The surfboard at the front is the stall's logo. It shows a woman with long dark hair holding a coconut with scoops of ice cream, and a ribbon with the name: «Sorvete de coco no coco da Morena». It is the first thing you see from the corner and it works as a landmark for finding the place.
What you drink here is the coconut water. At the front of the stall there is a basket of green coconuts in plain view, at window height.
The place describes itself in three words: casual, quiet and trendy. At the stall that shows up in hand-made details: the illustrated surfboard, the green and white shutter of the window, a ukulele hanging on the wall, a lit lantern, baskets and fibre weaving, a green wooden chair and deck chairs in the yard, and a white planter with palms at the side.
It is home-style decoration, with a window that serves ice cream, and the sign «Nesta casa a tristeza morre de alegria» sums up the tone: a place to spend a few minutes and carry on with your walk in a good mood.
The stall is at Rua Tamanduá, 3, on the corner with Rua da Gameleira, in central Pipa, Tibau do Sul, postcode 59178-000. The plus code is QW9X+M7, which you can paste straight into any map.
It is a short stop within the centre, the kind that fits between the beach and dinner. If you are arriving from Natal or the airport, see the transfer options for the long leg.
The stall is listed as good for going with kids, and the visit is listed as quick, which helps when you are walking with children and do not want to sit for an hour. An ice cream served in a coconut, with a Brazilian flag stuck in it, is also a good reason for a child to want to go.
For anyone who wants an ice cream with a presentation of its own: coconut, in the coconut and with the little flag. For a couple or a group that wants to share one coconut, since the photos show coconuts with two spoons. And for solo travellers, since the place is listed as good for eating alone.
Also for anyone who arrives wanting something sweet after the beach and does not want a long dinner: the visit is quick, and you can pay by credit card, debit card or contactless mobile payment.
