34 Best Ice Cream Shops in Miami Beach

“My 2 kids and my wife absolutely loved this place!! Highly recommend. We chose this over Gelato and didnt regret it. This pic is- the cookie monster cookie top with cookies and creme ice cream and a brownie bottom for under $11. You can add sprinkles or chunks of candy bars or broken up cookies for extra fee. Bathrooms were super clean.“

“Van Leeuwen, I am impressed!

The ice cream was superb and this is coming from an ice cream enthusiast! Delicious, authentic ice cream. My favorite was the Mint Chip. Denise, the girl who attended us, was delightful. Give her a promotion! She was so patient and excited telling us about all the flavors. We sampled so many. She seemed to really love her job, making our experience even better. Bring Van Leeuwen to Puerto Rico!“

Their crepes are absolutely incredible—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented.

“So delicious omg that purple potato yummy yummy“

“Martina exelente Anfitriona fuimos muy bien atendidos“

“Visiting Miami for a fitness competition and Ciao Amore was right by our Airbnb, the perfect spot for some morning coffee and delicious pastries! Brenda was absolutely lovely and made sure my coffee was made just the way I like it every time. We came back later in the evening for amazing gelato. Wonderful and cute establishment with warm service! 10/10 would recommend!“

“Wow! I can’t beleive how good the ice cream is and service was spectacular I loved Yesenia’s willingness to help me choose. I’ve never been and now it will be my new favorite ice cream spot . I couldn’t wait and ate my ice cream before the photo it was that good.“

“I've tried many gelato places in south beach and so far this is the best one.
Some of them melt right away and some are a little too sweet. I tried hazelnut and kinder and the creamy texture and sweetness was perfect, also I did not notice it melting right away while eating it outside at around 76° in December. This is not a problem for me, but it's just different than the other places I've been to. I tried a different place the day before that had a 5 star rating and the ice cream was too sweet and it was melting right away. This one should have a 5 star rating so now there's no point in going anywhere else for gelato.“

“Hot Friday in Miami Beach. Wish to cool off with something cold and delicious? Try Rita's just off Lincoln Road on Collins.there is a lovely manager I met a couple days ago. She requested a Google Maps review so The Universe delivers. She also likes to read and is reading Spiritual books. I turn her onto Metaphysics Leadership & Politics and she suggested I get it published in Spanish. Great idea to manifest! My favorite is the mango Italian ice. Delicious!“

“I'm from Philly where Rita's originated and have been wanting to try the location down here.

It's in a strip mall but very convenient. Parking might be an issue at certain times because there are a lot of other businesses in the mall. The young lady behind the counter was very fast and friendly. The place is clean and has tables inside so you can sit and enjoy.“

“This place is so good! They make their gelato fresh, in house and let you sample all the flavors. All of them are fresh & delicious!

They even gave our niece an extra scoop when her cone fell on the floor. They’re so nice! Support your local business and come here when you’re craving gelato.“

“einzigartig und extrem leckeres gerolltes Eis mit Zusätzen wie Kinderbueno oder Walnüssen und Brownie, auf jeden Fall probieren!“

“Always great ice cream and great customer service! You can try a bunch of flavors. They have decent sized gluten free menu (recommend googling online), vegan options, and dairy-free options. The location is also fantastic because you can walk Lincoln Road after grabbing ice cream which is always a lively activity.“

“Stopped by Freddo on Española Way and it definitely hit the spot. The gelato was super creamy and packed with flavor — the strawberry tasted fresh and not overly sweet. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The texture was smooth and rich without feeling too heavy.
The atmosphere around Española Way adds to the experience too. It’s a great place to grab something cold while walking around and people-watching. Service was friendly and the portions were fair.“

“Bel Gelato Bakery is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and truly feels like a little piece of Italy in Miami Beach.

The gelato and pastries are outstanding — fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. Everything tastes homemade and thoughtfully prepared.

A huge shout-out to Ana, who made the experience even better. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. Her energy and warmth really stand out and make you feel at home. Service like hers is what makes you want to come back again and again.

Highly recommend this place for amazing gelato, pastries, and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“I was walking down Miami Beach and stumbled upon this adorable ice cream shop that totally caught my eye, it was super clean and inviting! And the ice cream? Absolutely amazing, 10/10! I had this incredible mango flavor that tasted just like fresh mango, I've never had anything like it before!“

“best burger ever. cheeseburger double with cheese fries 👌“

“It went super viral, so we wanted to try it! We visited the Miami location, and they had ice cream flavors exclusive to Miami. We even customized our own mine had KitKat in it. I liked it, but it wasn’t a total wow for me. Next time, I’ll definitely try something different. The portions were pretty big!“

“Not sure why this place doesn’t get more recognition. It is legit a gelato lover’s dream! It’s The gelato is so tasty, with a rich, creamy texture that’s pure perfection. Not too sweet, just the right balance of indulgence. I went wild sampling flavors (they let me try as much as I wanted—love that lol), and the pistachio, coconut, and cookies and cream stole the show

Pistachio was nutty bliss, coconut was a tropical escape, and cookies and cream had decadent chunks in every bite (think traditional rich creamy cookies and cream with the right amount of crunch and grainy rocky cookie texture). Staff were super friendly, super patient

Pro tip.. eat as much of the gelato INSIDE as you can.. bc as soon as you’re outside.. DRIP DRIP MELT CITY

Have been back and still share the same level of enthusiasm.. surprisingly really high quality gelato in the tiny corridors of south beach!“

“Hellooo!! Recently I visited the midtown location (see review) and the ice cream was delightful.Tonight I went to the north beach location. The store is small and the building where it is located is under renovation.I had two of my favorite flavors, zabaglione and dolce de leche with chocolate chips. Just delicious.I sat outside. Weather was great. $9 for a medium cup. A bit expensive.See yall soon. Happy 2023!!Vamos ARGENTINA CAMPEÓN DEL MUNDO!!“

“DELICIOUS ??. I have to say my waffle cone so crispy.
There's a pizza spot also attached with it. I got a slice spinach and garlic tomato yummy.
Right on corner of Ocean Dr n 5th St.
You might wanna stop in?“

“I’ve been to Italy a dozen times and this gelato at Davinci is excellent! I think the coolest part is you can actually get gelato that’s made with buffalo milk which has 40% more protein and 30% less sugar. They also use all natural cane sugar, so it just tastes phenomenal. I tried a few of the other gelato places, and this is the one to go to.“

“muy agradable el lugar y muy rico todo“

“I recently visited this gelato spot, and I was blown away by the quality of their gelato! The flavors are vibrant and authentic, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the craftsmanship. The setup is charming and adds to the overall experience. It’s a perfect place for a treat, whether you’re out with friends or just craving something sweet. Highly recommend trying their unique flavors – you won’t be disappointed!“

“The Cookies are everything 🤤🤤🤤“

“Très bon accueil ! Établissement propre.. glaces délicieuses.. a déguster aussi sur la plage !! A conseiller !! J’y retourne en mars !!!“

“I love this hidden gem!!!“

“Häagen-Dazs on Lincoln Road is a solid spot if you’re craving something sweet. The ice cream is super creamy and full of flavor, and while it’s a little on the pricey side, it really feels worth it for the quality. Perfect stop while walking around Lincoln Road.“

“Had such a great experience at Sweet Life! The gelato was incredibly creamy and full of flavor, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The place is beautiful and the staff was super friendly. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Miami! 🍨✨“

“We tried 3 different gelato shops while in Miami. This one by far was the best bang for the buck. I got 2 scoops and a bottle of water for what 1 scoop cost at a different shop. I tried the lemon and the mango gelato as it was super hot outside and they seemed to be refreshing flavors. Would definitely come back to Mamma Mia if we are ever back in Miami.“

“Très bon accueil ! Établissement propre.. glaces délicieuses.. a déguster aussi sur la plage !! A conseiller !! J’y retourne en mars !!!“

“The experience here was on point. The milkshake was unbelievable rich, smooth, and exactly what you want when you come to Haagen-Dazs. Service was fast, the place was clean, and the whole vibe made the stop worth it. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.“

“The last today was amazing! She made me the best coffee, she was very friendly and very kind. She had so much patience for me. Thank you, and nice tasting ice cream, I enjoyed the strawberry and stracciatella ice cream along with my coffee… thank you once again!“
