50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Pinecrest

“You NEED to try the cookies and crème gelato. It was both mine and my husband’s FAVORITE. I’m not a fan of Oreo/cookies and crème flavored things, but this was SO GOOD. We also tried and liked two other flavors but we did try about half of them (not saying they weren’t good, just not our style). We got the pound and it was WORTH IT.

Also, if you like STRAWBERRY flavor, the creamy strawberry gelato was as if fresh strawberries were blended with milk and frozen, it tasted so fresh and the strawberry flavor was so strong and not at all artificial. DELICIOUS.

Also, bless our server. She gave us roughly half of the flavors to try before we landed on the 3 we tried first. She was so sweet, we had to tip.“

“One of a kind ... feel like chillin 😎!!!“

“La Gelato au rhum est délicieuse 🤤 ! En fait, toutes les saveurs sont délicieuses.“

“Visited salt and straws this past Saturday and was pleasantly greeted with a nice friendly smile by Sam, she offered me various samples of the limited addition flavors, she told me to combine creepy crawly critters with honey lavender which to me was the perfect combination i’ve ever tried on this extremely hot and humid day, store very clean and waffle cones were perfectly cooked and crafted, Special and Big Thanks to Sam for your lovely, warm, and infectious energy that made a day feel so special, giving me the boost of energy to motivate me throughout my busy day.“

“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 :)“

“Cold Stone Pinecrest always hits the spot. The staff is friendly, the ice cream is super fresh, and they mix everything perfectly. The place is clean, quick, and reliable—great for a late-night sweet craving or a casual treat. Definitely one of the better Cold Stone locations in Miami.“

“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“

“Great paletas !!! Lots of flavors“

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

“Starting from the music, the atmosphere clean, the presentation of the different flavors it’s genuinely special. For those who know Argentine ice cream or Italian… this is only place to go in Miami Dade.
Try any flavor - they are all special. They are all refreshing. They are all home made. They are - one of a kind.
Thanks!!“

“This was a masterful situation! We have my cutom creation, which I highly, highly recommend. Chocolate, Sweet Cream and Dulce de Leche ice cream, Double Brownie, Double Yellow Cake, Caramel and Whipped Cream 🤤. Simple and to the point. Sometimes, less is more. The texture is heavenly, flavor is explosive. But this location is very Generous and with top-notch customer service. If you get stuck and aren't sure what to order, give this creation I created 3 years ago, while I was pregnant, a try! It's mindblowing!! FIVE STARS! 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟“

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

All of their flavors are always full of flavor and they have an overwhelming selection of toppings. A Must try in the neighborhood“

“This place is one of the best ice cream shops iv been to, they were so nice to me and my friends. Also, everything in the store was extremely clean. The ice cream was so amazing and the experience of it being made right in-front of you is special. I will 100% be returning in the future.“

“The best ice cream ever!!!!“

“The ice cream is very very delicious would come Again if I was down here very very respectful and polite customer service. Gives samples before you buy. Highly recommend“

“The best gelato in the 🌎 🥰“

“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.“

“This is not your typical ice cream shop. It’s a haven for experimental ice cream connoisseurs—the kind of place that turns ingredients that should be forbidden in ice cream into something unexpectedly fabulous. Their seasonal menu is always an adventure; only Salt & Straw could make an elote ice cream with cotija cheese and corn taste genuinely delicious.

They let you sample every flavor so you know exactly what you’re getting into. My personal favorite is the Salty Donut guava and cheese, and another standout is the honey lavender.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

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

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

“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 husband and I tried the Key Lime and Viva Pastelito...wow! delicious, so much flavor. we can't wait to try some of the other flavors. So happy that you popped up on my Uber Eats.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

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

“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’ve been coming to this Dairy Queen since before I was even born. My mom craved Blizzards so badly while pregnant that I’m pretty sure my first kick was just me reaching for a spoon. She knew labor would be as challenging as the Michelin Man’s mother trying to squeeze out her son, but she powered through, and that’s basically how I got my name.
Ice cream has been my ride-or-die meal companion ever since. Lunch, dinner, late-night “oops I blacked out and somehow ended up at the drive-thru” snack, it’s always been there for me. There was a time when I live just one block away (I swear it wasn’t intentional…or was it?), which only proved fate wanted me in a committed relationship with this Dairy Queen. And as with any healthy relationship, faithfulness means regular visits and shamelessly devouring large portions.
I have since moved to another city, and on my last visit I noticed the place had a whole new look. Which leads me to wonder…new ownership? Or just the same loyal crew with a glow-up? Either way, I approve.
Bottom line: if ice cream is therapy, this Dairy Queen is my therapist. Only difference? This one never charges me $200 an hour, just a couple bucks and maybe my dignity when I lick the cup clean in the parking lot.“

“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.“

“💯 lo recomiendo son mis ricos los helados que venden gracias por su hospitalidad Ben & Jerry’s“

“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 ????☀️☀️☀️☀️“

“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!!“

“Aiden is awesome! Every time I come in, he’s super friendly and always makes me feel welcome. He takes the time to get my order just right and even makes great suggestions when I’m not sure what I want. You can tell he really cares about the customers and enjoys what he’s doing.

The store always looks clean when he’s working, and even when it’s busy he keeps a positive attitude and helps things move quickly. Cold Stone is always a fun place to go, but Aiden makes the experience even better.

Highly recommend stopping by when he’s there—you’ll leave with a smile (and some amazing ice cream)! 🍦“
