50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Miami

“I love Azucar Ice Cream, it’s the best.“

“Amazing ice cream and service! I took my cousins to Salt & Straw for the first time and we were served by Josh who was so patient and had excellent customer service. He let us try a lot of flavors and had great recommendations. I recommend the honey lavender and olive oil combo. Definitely my new go-to ice cream flavors.“

“The best ice cream ever!!!!“

“I mean... It's not glamorous but the ice cream is delicious. We had coconut and soursop. They were both delicious. I love that the coconut ? was just creamy, no flakes. And the soursop tasted like white strawberry! It was amazing ?

We got 2 fish paté and a soda and called it a day. My son and I will definitely go back.“

“Love Japow! The Strawberry Daifuku flavor is exceptional. One the best shaved ice I've ever had. It's so delicate, creamy, and delicious. The quality of the chocolate, the fresh strawberries , and mini mochi take it over the top. It's nice they use natural flavors. Loved the service. We had no idea what to order and the lady there helped us figure out what we should try by asking us if we preferred fruity or creamy flavors or both. We decided chocolate and strawberries would be best, and she was right! Best choice! This place is special. Whenever in Design District will be back for sure.“

“I'm not someone who usually goes out for ice cream—truth be told, I rarely step into ice cream parlors at all. But life has a funny way of changing your habits, especially when it leads you to a first date. La Michoacana was the meeting spot, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to make a first impression.

From the moment I walked in, the vibe was welcoming and full of life. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and positive energy that immediately set the tone. Even for someone like me who isn’t big on sweets, the variety of ice cream flavors was both impressive and tempting. I went for something bold—tequila and pistachio—and wow, both were absolutely A+. Creamy, flavorful, and unforgettable.

But what truly sets La Michoacana apart isn’t just the quality of their ice cream—it’s the ambiance. The decor is colorful, vibrant, and full of personality. Every corner of the place feels carefully curated, making it feel more like an experience than just a casual stop for a treat.

And then there’s the sentimental part: that night turned out to be one of the greatest of my life. Something about the energy of La Michoacana, the thoughtful presentation of each dessert, and even the subtle details in the décor made it feel like the universe had dressed the place up just for us. It wasn’t just a date—it was a memory. And La Michoacana played a big part in that magic.

If you’re in Homestead and looking for more than just dessert—looking for a place that feels warm, authentic, and a little bit special—this is it.“

“Took my daughter to Florida for her birthday and came across this place“

“I took my mom here for ice cream on a random afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised by its prices and just old school charm. We had soft serve in cones nothing fancy but just as effective (and very affordable) on a hot Miami day. We sat outside (they only have outdoor seating) on one of their little picnic tables and enjoyed people watching. All in all, I'm so happy a little place still like this still exists in Miami.“

“Me and my wife were in design district on a trip and had a phenomenal experience at kith treats. The service we received from EJ , Stacy and Jenny made us feel very welcomed not only to the store but also Miami as they provided us with information regarding the area and the retail part of kith. They made conversation with us making us feel comfortable as if we were close friends they are very funny and sweet people“

“Very genuine small business! Love the vibe and the personnel! They're so friendly and exude positivity.

They had ran out of freshly squeezed orange juice, but the owner kindly offered me a cup on the house while we were enjoying their assortment of gelato flavors. Particularly liked the Crema Limone flavor!“

“La Martola is a beautiful new Italian restaurant in the ever growing area of Buena Vista. It's a large restaurant with lots of inside and outdoor dining. The food is great - lots of options for appetizers and main courses and a long list of pizzas. We had the burrata salad with soft creamy cheese sprinkled with pistachios, the tagliolini with lemon and the Classico (or margherita) pizza which was very tasty and delicious. There is a nice wine list with lots of wines by the glass. A great experience. We sat outside and the live music was a little loud - perhaps acoustic, rather than electronic music would be better in the space. But a delightful delicious meal that warrants a return visit.“

“Beautiful, Very good food“

“Super friendly staff and so many options!! Spooky season is almost over but if you get the chance to get the Boo Batter flavor, please do!! It’s sooo good, looks sketchy but it’s really tasty! Sign up for the rewards program and enjoy the discounts and perks. Happy Halloween everyone! ?“

“They finally made my son's birthday cake as I order every year. I have been ordering his BD cake for a few years, and they didn't make it as wished until this March. I understand that there is new management, so that maybe the reason why. Thank you for making his birthday wish true with lots of frosting :)“

“they have the best food and service and their workers are very friendly and helpful“

“The gelato here is amazing! I had the sweet caramel with Macallan whiskey and it was so smooth, rich, and full of flavor. Truly one of the best ice cream experiences I’ve had. Delfina was so Pretty, Kind and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Highly recommend this spot!“

“Really neat little place, friendly people, delicious treats!“

“Highly recommend! Friendly staff, yummy popsicles, and dog friendly. What can you ask for more! All of us enjoyed our popsicles. I thought the price was better compared to a different popsicle place. And here, they also have popsicles for dogs! When we were there, they had three flavors. Our pup had the yogurt with berries and loved it. It was such a joy watching him enjoying it- we couldn’t stop filming/taking pics. Will be back for sure!“

“I recently had the chocolate ice cream with the waffle. Great serving portion. Fast service. Friendly staff.“

“Antonieta and Rosa are always incredibly friendly and attentive. They clearly love dogs and even offered peanut butter ice cream for ours, which she absolutely loved. We came here today to celebrate her birthday, and the experience was wonderful as always. Thank you for your kindness—this place is one of our favorites!”“

“Si eres amante al helado definitivamente este es el lugar para ti !!!“

“I recommend that place for the family .nice place ,they have variety of food,we tried the pizza and the panini was delicious. My kids tried the rolled ice cream ,everyday now they asking me to go there !“

“we love it the Milk Shakes are great 🙏💖☺😋🤤“

“Ummmmmm, WOW what an incredible italian ice. The texture of this ice was over the top. It was like they went somewhere high in the snowy mountains with a bucket, scooped up some fresh powder from the previous nights flurries, added some of the best classic "bomb pop" flavoring, flew it too Miami and gave it to me in a cup. To top it off The spoon was a COLOR CHANGING SPOON ????????????. Highly recommended“

“Finally had the chance to visit the Ventanita! Drove up from Homestead for a pint of the Pistachio ice cream. Absolutely delicious! Well worth the drive, and the wait at the window.“

“They did a great job providing for our event. Setup was so cute and everyone LOVED the popsicles. We got the mini ones and it was great cause guests tried different flavors and ate them all up

Dietary restrictions: Was a great option for people with dairy, gluten & nut allergies cause they came individually wrapped and so it was all clear“

“Attention to detail from the staff was very much appreciated. Lots of options from their freshly made waffles, ice cream, to their boba bar. It was a bit hard to understand the menu, however the staff was very knowledgable with the products and guided me, step by step in creating a masterpiece. Wish they were located closer toward the front of Julia and Henry's because people are missing out on such creativity.“

“Dairy Queen is a classic go-to spot for delicious soft-serve ice cream and fast food. Their signature Blizzards are a must-try, packed with mix-ins like Oreos, Reese’s, and brownie pieces, always served upside down to prove their thickness. The menu also features tasty burgers, hot dogs, and crispy chicken strips, making it a great option for a quick bite.

Beyond the food, the service is generally friendly, and the nostalgic atmosphere adds to the charm. Whether you’re stopping by for a refreshing Misty Slush on a hot day or indulging in a hot fudge sundae, Dairy Queen consistently delivers sweet satisfaction.“

“Clean and very nice friendly service as I I highly recommend it!!!🙂👍👍“

“My boyfriend delighted me with a birthday cake from this spot, and it was fantastic. Even after the journey to Doral, it arrived perfectly chilled. The cake was incredibly delicious, and my kids absolutely enjoyed it. They even personalized it with my name and generously added extra chocolate crumbs!“

“Fun ice cream for the family“

“The best gelato in the 🌎 🥰“

“A week ago I went to this store looking for a last minute cake for my Son’s Birthday. There were no more cakes in the size I needed and I didn’t have time to go elsewhere. KAREN saw my frustration and immediately went out of her way and was able to find me 1 in the freezer but needed to be decorated.
She stopped what she was doing and started to mix color blue to decorate my ? thanks to her I was able to arrived on time with my sons cake. You don’t find people like her anymore
She went out of her way, Excellent Customer Service!!!!“

“Tried the vegan, lemon gelato popsicle at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden today & now I need to stock my freezer!! So refreshing. Just the right tartness.“

“Delicious and so friendly!“

“Very cool way of making ice cream. Person working gave some great recommendations.“

“Abuela María is my favorite. Will visit more often now that they are open..“

“The ice creams are delicious, however, they need to have at least two employees. This is my first time trying this ice cream place and we came on a Sunday and there was only one person working making ice creams and being cashier. The employee worked hard but I suggest having another person and extra hand to help move the lines. One person is not enough when you have to refill the machines. I would definitely come back but I hope the service improves.
Thank you.“

“The cookies are always warm and fresh! The staff is welcoming and the store is sparkling clean“

“We really loved this gelato place!! From the moment we stepped in the door we were met with exceptional service! We were able to taste multiple flavors and they were all so delicious and flavorful! The flavor just explodes in your mouth!! I loved the coconut! We will definitely be back!!

Kid-friendliness: The kids will love it as well as the adults!!“

“Daboba in Miami is a true gem for boba lovers! From their extensive menu featuring a variety of flavors to their perfectly chewy boba, every sip is a delight. The shop's cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a must-visit spot for anyone craving boba in Miami.“

“The most delicious popsicles in South Florida.“

“I wanted to take a moment to shout out Katlyn at Cold Stone after my visit last night. This location is always super busy, and at times it can feel a little rushed when trying to make a selection. But Katlyn was incredibly patient with us—especially since I came in with a kid who wasn’t sure what he wanted and we were trying to figure out which flavors to try. She was friendly, polite, and really took the time to make sure we were happy with our choices, which made all the difference. It’s easy to get stressed when it’s packed, but Katlyn’s calm, welcoming attitude stood out and made our visit feel really pleasant. Customer service like hers deserves recognition, and I’m so grateful for how she made our experience enjoyable. Thanks, Katlyn! Keep up the great work!“

“First of all, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful! I was greeted with hellos and attentiveness as soon as I’d walked through the door. I had the matcha and chocolate croissant which is a new addition to their menu- highly recommended! If you’re looking for a coffee/tea or sweet treat - highly recommended!“
