Azucar Ice Cream Company, LLC., is an artisanal ice cream and sorbet boutique located on Calle Ocho, in the heart of Little Havana. The concept for Azucar came out of love for Abuela and admiration for Little Havana and what the neighborhood represents. A Miami staple, Azucar is featured in the official Little Havana map that was created by Denise Galvez Turros at the Little Havana Visitors Center during the pandemic, and highlights all important landmarks and businesses in the area. Denise worked tirelessly to raise funds to revamp the Visitors Center and formed a partnership between the AARP and the Visitors Center to staff the center with retired volunteers in the neighborhood seven days a week. Denise is also working to produce a documentary about the History of Little Havana with the help of the Florida Department of State Division of Historical Resources Matching Grant, and she serves on the City of Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board, fully supporting the designation of four historic structures in Little Havana in the past year.
