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

“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 :)“

“A new favorite for our gelato-loving family. We tried several flavors and it's hard to choose! All of them were great. You can't go wrong with the Dulce de leche. The coconut is great, too. The lemon is so refreshing and the texture is meringue like, totally lovable.
They serve wafer cookies freshly made in store. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I wish I lived closer, I would become a regular. If you love Argentinian style gelato, you have to give this place a try. Parking (street and public garage) around the block.“

“Yes, they are expensive….but soooo good that you will want to come back.“

“This Chill N is honestly one of my favorite dessert spots in Miami. The ice cream is insanely creamy and rich, and every flavor tastes fresh and homemade, you can really tell they care about quality. The staff are always super friendly and patient, which makes choosing between all the amazing options actually fun instead of stressful. The whole vibe is warm and welcoming, and it’s the kind of place you’ll keep wanting to come back to“

“This place was delicious with an INSANE variety of toppings! We were visiting from out of town and stopped in for a treat and was very pleasantly surprised! The staff was amazing and they even had arcade games in the back!! Worth the trip in!“

“I have been visiting this store for several years now. Recently I had an unexpected experience and I reached out to them. They offered to make it right. They have gone above and beyond. The store is very clean and happy staff. Will definitely continue to visit them. Thank you“

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

“The best ice cream ever!!!!“

“Excelente Gelato italiano“

“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.“

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

“Nicolas, Ernesto, and Anett were extremely kind, compassionate and honesly honorary workers. This place is fire. I suggest coming here everyday because the ice cream is fire, plus the workers are the absolute best. Trust this review 😃👍“

“Excellent gelato. My friend and I are sitting down at Copper29 for Happy Hour when it gets even merrier, as Haider (staff) offers us a sample of gelato. The samplers are fantastic, so go in and have gelato before our meals.

My friend ends up having their passion fruit yogurt gelato which apparently pairs wonderfully with the passion fruit martini at Copper29.
My favorite is their choco pistachio.
The ferrero rocher tastes exactly like ferrero.
Their coconut tastes great - like cocoa butter taste with white chocolate.

For those who like stuff that's not too sweet: their pistachio is a great choice.
They also have non-sugar gelato sweetened with stevia to keep that blood glucose in check.

Haider is friendly, clearly loves people and gelato, and so amazing at recommending flavors. Such a refreshing person to meet!!!“

“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“

“Salt & Straw changed me as a person.

Came for the ice cream, stayed because of Juan.

Juan is absolutely the GOAT. From the moment we walked in, he was friendly, funny, and somehow made choosing between 20 amazing flavors feel like the easiest decision of my life. His energy was unmatched, his recommendations were elite, and he made the whole experience 10x better.

Salt & Straw already has incredible ice cream, but employees like Juan are what make people want to come back. Give this man a raise, a promotion, a trophy, and maybe even the keys to the store.

If you get served by Juan, congratulations—you’ve just met a legend.“

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

“💯 😌 👍🏻 good , 🍟🍔🍔🍟🧆🍔🍔🧆🧆🍔🍔🧆“

“As usual, Pura Vida is awesome. Today we not only got lunch but also ice cream and we were lucky to meet Kim and Dani. They were great. And of course Cami is always soooooo sweet to my 6 yr old daughter. We love this place and the people they hire are awesome humans.“

“La Michoacana is hands down one of my favorite places for a sweet treat! The variety of flavors is incredible, from fruity and refreshing to rich and creamy, there's something for everyone. I had the mangonada and a scoop of horchata ice cream, and both were bursting with flavor.

The shop itself is colorful and welcoming, with friendly staff who were patient and happy to offer samples while I decided. I also appreciated the extra touches like chamoy, Tajín, and the option to build your own snack with toppings.

Highly recommend for families, date nights, or just treating yourself. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I love Freddo ice cream but arrived at this location at 10- it says online that it closes at 10:30pm, and the sign was still on but the lady inside locked the door and signaled that she’d closed already. I think the times online should be updated to save us the drive next time“

“Carvel has been a favorite stop whenever I’m craving something sweet, and every visit reminds me why this ice cream shop continues to stand out. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels cheerful and welcoming. The display is filled with tempting options, from classic soft serve and sundaes to rich shakes and their famous ice cream cakes.

The quality of the ice cream is consistently excellent. The soft serve is smooth, creamy, and full of flavor, with just the right texture. Whether you choose vanilla, chocolate, or one of the specialty creations, everything tastes fresh and satisfying. Their toppings are generous, and each dessert is made with care.

One thing that makes Carvel special is the variety. There’s something for everyone, whether you want a simple cone, a loaded sundae, or a custom cake for a celebration. Their ice cream cakes are especially impressive, combining delicious layers of ice cream and crunchy fillings that always make birthdays and gatherings more memorable.

The staff is friendly, patient, and efficient, even during busy times. They are happy to answer questions and help you choose the perfect treat.

Carvel delivers the kind of dependable quality and flavor that keeps customers coming back. If you’re looking for a delicious dessert, generous portions, and excellent service, this ice cream shop is a wonderful choice for satisfying any sweet tooth.“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

Definitely a perfect spot when you’re craving something sweet — I’ll be coming back for sure!“

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

“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 love this place !! The flavor and the price is amazing . They have a promotion 2x1 with the passion fruit popsicles (no filled ) which they are organic and super refreshing . I order for my kids partys and they love it ????☀️☀️☀️☀️“

“Their classic sugar cookie is sooo good!“

“Freaking love this place. It's delicious! Affordable! Awesome customer service. Enough parking and they offer multiple things. Their ice cream is the amazing. I recommend banana with Nutella, chocolate, Ferrero. If you into fruits, they offer a high variety! Strawberry with milk is top notch. Honestly there is so many to choose from. I myself bought 22 popsicle with different flavors and as a courtesy I was given 2 for free. How great was that? Give them a try, you won't regret it. ?“

“Daboba has quickly become one of my favorite boba spots! I’ve only been here twice so far, but I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their menu. I tried the Regular Milk Tea boba and it was absolutely to die for; perfectly balanced and super refreshing. My friend ordered the Roasted Matcha Tea and she loved it as well. The atmosphere is cozy and I also love that they do events and giveaways for their customers. It’s always nice to see a business engaging with the community. Great drinks, friendly service and a welcoming vibe. Can’t wait to come back and try everything!“

“Si estás en los alrededores, no pierdas la oportunidad de saborear un rico bocadito de helado con su especial cubierta de panetela, hoy tuve la suerte de conocer a la dueña del lugar, una persona muy agradable. He probado ya varios, el de mamey me encantó. Gracias! Lo recomiendo.“
