“Warm and friendly greeting immediately upon arrival! I love going places and feeling welcomed. Stopped in with friends, the associates were super helpful and informative, who shared excellent knowledge about the menu. I especially love the sample aspect and being able to try before you buy. I opted for their limited time flavors and was so impressed. I can’t wait to visit again. 10/10“

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

“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 :)“

“This place is amazing. We are regular now. Delfina was amazing. She sowed us different flavors and helped us to make the best decision. We had the Dubai chocolate with vodka ice cream plus a dubai chocolate bar and a flight to go. So so good. We will come back next week to try the new flavor of mezcal with mango! Sounds amazing!!!! Oh and the new packaging with Brito design is so beautiful“

“If you're in Miami and battling the heat, craving a delicious ice cream to cool down, Cielito Wynwood is the perfect spot. They boast over 46 flavors, including Dubai chocolate, mint lemonade, lime pie and more. I personally tried the pineapple with jalapeño and tahini, and it was absolutely delicious! Come check them out – the prices are fair, and the place is super cute for photos, right in the heart of Wynwood.“

“Amazing staff! I love Banana Daddy! the staff are super friendly and educated about the products and overall excited to be at work. Its more than an ice cream store selling banana soft serve. They offer homemade snacks, vitamin supplements, banana syrups, bulk size cold brew, dog treats, tshirts & daddy merch. I got a buffalo chicken turnover. My god! super fresh, not greasy and not too spicy. I also enjoy the chia pudding with berries on top made from coconut milk and yogurt! very light refreshing treat. I will be returning for sure“

“Delicious bubble waffle ice cream that was made and presented beautifully by Brianna. We got the berry bubble waffle, thai tea with boba, and lychee lemonade, which I would skip next time. The thai tea boba was great though and waffle with ice cream was incredible“

“Came here on a group outing with the Beyond Links crew and honestly… Dairy Queen handled us like absolute pros. A whole crew of awesome adults on the spectrum rolled in ready for treats, laughs, and probably too many Blizzards — and the staff was AMAZING.

Everyone working there was super friendly, patient, and genuinely kind. No weird vibes, no rushing us, just smiles and good energy all around. They made ordering fun, kept things light, and treated our group like VIPs (Very Important People who really love ice cream).

We laughed, we ate, we probably debated Blizzard flavors like it was a life decision. 10/10 outing, 10/10 service, 11/10 happiness levels.

Highly recommend Dairy Queen for group outings, sweet treats, and feeling welcomed exactly as you are. We’ll definitely be back — the Beyond Links crew has spoken 🍦😄“

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

“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.“

“Best mexican paletas in Miami. I always stop here when in town. They have a huge selection of paletas. I don't buy anything else other than the paletas. The family that runs it are so sweet and polite. FYI cash only so come prepared. The price is reasonable too.“

“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 !“

“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“

“Very good place to enjoy a delicious ice cream and have a good time with your children.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“This is what you call an immaculate business. The attention to detail, variation, customer service is top tier. I’m not glazing I just never have seen a gelato spot have this much specialty. My experience proves why they have 4 plaques of best gelato in Miami“

“I had a great experience at Cold Stone Creamery! The ice cream was super fresh and creamy, and I loved how you can customize everything with your favorite mix-ins. The staff was friendly, patient, and made the whole process fun to watch. The portions were generous, and the place was clean and welcoming. Definitely a perfect spot when you’re craving something sweet — I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“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.“

“This Carvel location has exceeded my expectations for over 50 years! I first came here as a kid, and now as a senior, I still love the ice cream just as much. I also had the privilege of knowing the parents of the young man who runs the store today, and I can truly say the tradition continues. Everything in this place is still made with one main ingredient—love!“

“Five stars for Häagen-Dazs at River Landing in Miami, and it was a delightful treat! The location along the Miami River adds a nice vibe, perfect for a quick dessert stop. The service was friendly and quick, there was even live music playing next door. Prices are on the higher side, but that’s expected with Häagen-Dazs quality. Overall, a solid spot for ice cream lovers in the area!“

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

“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.“

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

“(Translated by Google) Thanks for keeping our traditions alive with the best Christmas food ❤️ and now I'm going for my vegan hallacas ??(Original)Gracias por mantener viva nuestras tradiciones con la mejor comida navideña ❤️ y ahora voy por mis hallacas veganas ??“

“This is hands down the best ice cream shop around! The flavors are so unique and absolutely incredible, especially the craboo (nance) and soursop ice cream paired with choco banana. It’s easily some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had, truly rivaling what I’ve tasted in Belize.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. You can tell there’s so much care put into each scoop. If you’re looking for something beyond the typical ice cream experience, this place is a must-visit!“

“I stopped by this Dairy Queen Treats and got an Oreo Blizzard, and it really hit the spot. The ice cream was super creamy and they didn’t skimp on the Oreo pieces, which I loved. Everything tasted fresh and well mixed. Service was quick and the staff was nice, and the place looked clean too. Definitely a solid choice if you’re craving something sweet—I’d come back for sure.“

“El Indio just opened in Jonesville and we finally got to check it out with friends, easily one of the best decisions we made all week. The vibes were perfect, the service was on point, and the food… man, absolutely delicious. Real, authentic Mexican flavor in every bite. If you haven’t been yet, add it to your list. Jonesville needed this one. 🌮🔥“

“i liked this froyo very much, the yogurt had a small selection of flavors but yet it was very good and tasty. i got chocolate,strawberry,and matcha which was a very good combo i recommend it. but everything else was very quick and easy and i would easily come back again.“
