50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Orlando

“Last night I had the pleasure of visiting this location. I'd never tried Earl Grey Lavender ice cream before and asked for a sample. Although they do not typically give samples, a young man named Devarious (I believe) prepped a sample for me because he really wanted me to try it. Although I went with the banana chocolate cone, had I tasted the sample first, I would've definitely gotten that. I hope that someone there reads this review and shares. That young man's kindness made my day.“

“Best ice cream ever and with the Grand Marnier it was super special 10 out of 10 recommend“

“Thank you Joury Ice Cream for hosting our group today! The ice cream was delicious and the staff was fantastic! I called them an hour before we planned to arrive with a group of over 30 moms and kids ready to celebrate the end of camp with ice cream. Joury Ice Cream was more than accommodating with our large group and made sure we were all taken care of. I highly recommend giving them a visit!“

“This is my go to coffee location. The midnight oil dark roast is so tasty AND everyone working at this location is so friendly and nice.“

“Thank you for serving my family 10/13 for an after dinner treat after eating at "Tasty Wok" (next door, amazing food for anyone wondering). I ordered the Halo Halo, Ube Brownie and two different scoops of ice cream on a waffle cone. Amazing flavors, exotic, original, whatever else you want to call it. My kids could not stop complimenting the ice cream. Everything felt clean for an ice cream shop. Another star would be added for this alone. Thank you again, we hope to return. (Ocala resident)“

“My sister, Marianne and I, both got a single serve vegan mint ice cream and We received great service from Mykel. Mykel was very pleasant, helpful, and informative with helping us make just the right healthy choice - for ice cream! She did her job with a smile on her face the whole time and just was very kind and courteous. Okay Mykel helps make our experience a wonderful one
GREAT JOB, MYKEL!!!!!“

“Tried it out yesterday with the family. I had a Guava & Passion Fruit Gelati, it was the absolute best. I would definitely recommend everyone to give this local spot a try. Fresh ingredients! You can truly taste the difference!“

“I usually don’t write reviews but I believe when someone or someplace deserves one, well… Loved this place from the variety or flavors to the service renders by the staff ( very friendly and professional) I had banana pudding and OMG!!! the texture and taste was amazing I want to thank the owners Louis and Marcelo for helping me with my selection. Will be back with my family and friends soon“

“My daughter is very picky with ice cream and saw a Facebook ad requesting we go. We went and ordered 4 different things in the hopes she’d eat something. She finished her entire ice cream and literally gave it a thumbs up. Usually she eats 1-2 bites and says she’s done. My 2 year old swapped between his and mine because he couldn’t decide what was better. My husband finished his first and doesn’t usually eat ice cream. We got strawberry sorbet, Greek yogurt, Belgium chocolate, chocolate hazelnut Oreo-one was made into a sandwich nothing but deliciousness!“

“Paisano’s. Fast, Friendly and delicious.

Nothing beats a little mom and pop shop, making grilled dogs with a ton of toppings!

The owner is very friendly and nice. regular sized or jumbo dogs , you choose. I’d suggest 2 jumbos , with papas , salsa rosado , onions and relish !! Delicious and inexpensive.“

“The best gluten free food we found in Orlando. They have so many options and everything is delicious. They have savory and sweet, and I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite. Cheesecakes, cupcakes, waffles, a heavenly dish with eggs, bacon, cheese, and a yummy sauce over amazing fries. We were too full to try the gf waffle cones and ice cream!“

“Kelly’s has a special place in our hearts! We go 2-3x a month. The ice cream is high quality and you get what you pay for. We have too many favorite flavors to list, but I want to personally shout out to any of the monthly flavors that have been dark chocolate based; there is nothing better to cure a bad day than the chocolatiest of chocolates, and this is that! (I’m looking at you cosmic brownie and German chocolate cake!) Here is a roundup of all the locations our family of 5 has tried: Maitland 11/10 - Our favorite location. Always great service from Andy, the freshest waffle cones/bowls, and always has all the flavors in stock. Ample parking and seating indoors and nearby outdoors to suit your fancy. Consistently perfect! Ferncreek 9/10 - The ice cream is great, and the outdoor area is adorable. Parking is a little rough but it’s a historic area and understandable. Horizon West 10/10 - Stellar waffle cones/bowls, special products, and the best indoor seating. Winter Park 7/10 - A little cramped and no indoor seating, but when the weather is nice the outdoor area is cute! Special shout out for the oatmeal creme pie flavor only available here. Waffle bowls tend to be stale. Winter Garden 9/10 - Extremely friendly service and fresh waffle bowls, we just wish it was a standalone for easier access and less crowding. Hunter’s Creek 7/10 - Stale waffle cones and less than fresh ice cream, but we love the ample parking, wide variety, and proximity to our home away from home. Sanford 5/10 - The only disappointment we’ve had trying so many locations. Waffle cones so stale you can bend them like rubber, and the unfriendly coffee shop staff manning the ice cream counter unwilling to make fresh cones. Ice cream itself is stale and not at all on trend with the Kelly’s brand and stellar reputation. “Sold out” of multiple flavors, and one case has a broken light and door. Just seems like this location doesn’t get the same TLC as the rest.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ we just tired them for the first time at monster jam in Orlando. The ice cream was good and the workers was very nice. I couldn’t carry 5 ice creams so they offered to help me back to my family! Thanks again“

“This place is Amazing Sadya was the best and the ice cream and boba was Amazing i highly recommend this place if you are traveling to orlando the atmosphere is really amazing as well“

“Yummy! Always a great place to get a treat!“

“Being a Coldstone fan all through my life, this place was a hidden gem where ice cream is made fresh everyday. The price is simply unbeatable too for the freshness & taste. After the $15 ice cream debacle at Universal Studios, this place put me to peace & unburied my hopes of enjoying good ice cream. My personal favorites amongst many is smores & birthday cake.“

“Amazing ice cream and fabulous customer service!“

“Crispy cone was the best ice cream cone Eva more favor to it though“

“I ❤️they ice cream it’s very good“

“The ice cream sundaes are great and the customer service is top of the line,My kids and I love coming to see you 😍🔥“

“OMG the corn ice cream is seriously delicious, the Baileys and the coconut too. We still have to try and as they go they have ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. In their store and in their mobile business they are very clean, everyone is pleasant and professional. Thank you for making delicious ice cream from Ponce,?? for the world.“

“We loved it! There are so many yummy ice cream flavors to choose from and the waffles are delicious. Nice friendly service and a comfortable place to enjoy your dessert“

“I absolutely love this place! It’s spotlessly clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly. They always play Disney music, which adds a fun and cheerful vibe. The frozen yogurt is delicious, and my favorites are Cookies & Cream and Cheesecake—both are fantastic! Highly recommend for a sweet treat!“

“Best ice cream I've ever had!! Everything is cold and made to order, the employees are the most polite I've ever experienced including the manager himself who will, not only make the ice cream for you, but will also help out taking orders at the window and giving customers their orders when it is busy. Even on a cold day, it's still worth having some as there are many flavors and variations of the confectionery to try out. College kids at UCF can get a student discount as long they have their student ID'S with them. Highly recommended 👍🏾👍🏾“

“As soon as I stepped in, I was impressed by everything! The enticing smell of waffle cones being made, the spacious atmosphere, and the large selection of ice cream was just wonderful! The staff was welcoming and helpful. I will definitely be back again!“

“DELICIOUS!! Great treat after a long work day!“

“So excited to be a part of such a yummy treat!“

“This place is great. Came here for the first time and it was a wonderful experience. Andres was the person who helped me and let me tell you he went above and beyond with his excellent costumer service. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you Andres!!!“

“Softserve on Tayaki was great, and it’s nice they added savory flavors to the menu. Ube is a bit too sweet and I can’t taste much Ube flavor, it’s prob food color or powder, but it’s more photo worthy than the taste I guess. Atmosphere is great with cute deco in the shop. The only down side is the wait time in a tiny space, it’s over 30mins until we get our food around 5pm on Saturday.“

“1st time here had to come here and I gotta admit .this place kicks @$$ and I plan on coming back soon awesome employees made my 1st visit special Happy Easter Mooyah employees thanks again Carl the employee“

Kid-friendliness: Super patient and happy staff!“

“Absolutely love this place! Yogurt Breeze is a hidden gem in Lake Nona. The shop is always spotless, the yogurt flavors are creamy and delicious, and the topping options are endless, fresh fruit, candy, nuts, you name it! The staff is super friendly and always greets you with a smile. It’s the perfect spot to cool down on a hot Florida day or just treat yourself after a long week. My kids (and honestly, me too!) are obsessed. Highly recommend to anyone in the area! Kids play area is phenomenal. This a must to go place to build and customize your super food Açaí 🤩“

“This was my first time at Bacio. What an awesome experience. I was greeted upon entry, and explained the menu. They had a huge selection of flavors. i chose praline pecan, banana pudding, pistachio & lemon sorbet. All were amazing! The service provided by Natalia & Emma was stellar. I like the way they worked together to make sure all customers were assisted (It was busy). I will certainly be back. Please go support this locally owned establishment.“

“Honestly was alittle surprised with how much I enjoyed yet another cookie and desserts place with so much competition crumble will surely take you by surprise

Parking: Gardens park location lots of parking through the area“

“This crumbl place is amazing !! To the cookies and the people it just great. I may only be doing this for the crumbs on the app, but all I’m saying is true! Lookie lookie lookie, it’s crumbl cookie! Crumbl cookie 4life crumbl cookie!! 😂“

“This place is absolutely amazing me and my family love it so much, I love the fact you get to choose whatever you want and get to put whatever and how much of whatever you’d like in it me and my family always have fun here and we always have such a positive experience here“

“Haagen-Dazs at ICON Park offers a delightful escape from the Orlando heat. Known for its premium ice cream and sorbet, this location provides a perfect spot to indulge in a sweet treat while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the park.

I recently enjoyed a delicious Oreo ice cream from Haagen-Dazs while visiting ICON Park. The ice cream was creamy and rich, with the perfect amount of Oreo cookie pieces. It was the ideal way to cool down after a long day of exploring. The location within the park makes it a convenient spot to grab a quick and satisfying dessert.

If you're looking for a premium ice cream experience, I definitely recommend giving Haagen-Dazs at ICON Park a try.“

“Perfect ice cream place if you want to get a quick treat through the drive thru or sit on the patio and enjoy the weather! Very friendly staff especially Marissa and Tracy! 🍦😊“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ we just tired them for the first time at monster jam in Orlando. The ice cream was good and the workers was very nice. I couldn’t carry 5 ice creams so they offered to help me back to my family! Thanks again“

“Unbelievably great! Unique but wonderful!“

“I love these cookies they are very warm and very good with milk 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️💕💕“

“Best and largest variety of real ice cream flavors to choose from that I know of in this area for sure! And it was delicious!! A bit pricey but so is every thing these days, only item I wasn’t a big fan of was the strawberry and something milkshake, it was okay but small in size and most expensive out of everything we ordered. Will definitely be back for more delicious ice cream cones and horchata in the near future! Also staff was friendly!“

“GO GET YOU SOMEEE!!!!!!Listen I know that on occasion the açaí spots can be a little redundant.However the fresh juices and the smoothie options really set a great tone for what you should expect.I ordered bowl number three sub chia seeds for granola and I also ordered a sugar cane juice straight ????The fruit and the açaí were literally cut right in front in me and it gives such a fresh taste the other places are lacking.It’s a must try, it’s a must save #supportsmallbusinesses“

“Every week my experience is better than the previous one, the attention is always a 💯 from the Cold Stone team, the goats are the best, they make me feel at home and as for their wonderful ice creams, each creation is wonderful, their texture, softness and creaminess Cold Stone is a 100/100“

“Amazing selection and wonderful customer service. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent, the best ice cream in Orlando and its super friendly and cordial manager!!!!!
