As is normal for someone his age, he fidgets and is a bit restless as he talks. However, he is able to make his point well...it's that eye contact of his.

Fruitvale creamery honors mama and Mexico

Luis Abundis marks his seventh year of ice cream inspiration at the Fruitvale Public Market. “It’s really our customers that have helped us to get to this point.”

Luis Abundis built his business from a cart to a truck to a store. Two stores, in fact. “My business actually grew vertically,” he said while sitting next to his ice cream shop, Nieves Cinco de Mayo in the Fruitvale Public Market. Abundis got his start selling homemade ice cream out of a paleta cart. He then bought a real truck, and eventually his shop/store. Today he owns a second shop in San Francisco’s Mission district - both locations have a full menu of tropical ice cream, sorbets, and other refreshing treats inspired by his native Mexico.
