12 Best Ice Cream Shops in Punta Gorda

“Lisa, at the front desk was a great help to me. She not only helped me pay my husband bill but she explained to me how i can bundle my Citizens policy and save. so happy!“

“Stopped in to Watson’s for National Ice Cream Day, they did not disappoint! So many flavors to choose from, they all sounded amazing. They have a large variety of toppings, cups sones, eaffle bowls, brownies, the combinations feel endless. The scoops are huge for the price. They were also having a 'Stanley' promotion, bring in your big cup and fill it for 1 price.

The OneBlood bus was in the lot and a 'Stanley' cup was your gift for donating. There was also a food truck.

We chatted with the owner while enjoying our scoops, turns out they have food trucks regularly. They also hold community events like blood donations and dog adoptions.

If you want not only great ice cream but also to frequent a shop that does good for their community, stop by Watson’s. Ask to have them add your dog's picture to their wall.“

“This is a wonderful place! Great atmosphere, good coffee, and even better pastries. I highly recommend stopping in for a bite.“

“This place has the best ice cream I know of on the suncoast! Also, the kids they hire to work there are almost always sweethearts who take care of the customers with a smile, and it's not easy to find good workers like that these days.“

“The wife and I went for the prime rib special and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and professional. Save room for desert! The wife had the one scoop ice cream sundae and I had the one scoop banana split (both were awesome)!“

“The best icecream around. Let's talk pros first. Great selections, reasonable prices and decent outdoor seating. Cons - limited parking during busy times and covid leftovers. No indoor seating! Despite having a large building with plenty of indoor space, people are expected to be miserable and hot outside during the brutal summer. Bugs, rain, apparently they don't care while they are comfortable in the AC. Charge an extra buck, nobody would care if they get to be comfortable.“

“Gigi’s Ice Cream Shop is absolutely incredible! The ice creams and pastries are beyond delicious, every bite was full of flavor and made with such care. The shop has such a warm and inviting vibe, and the variety they offer makes it hard to choose (in the best way!).

A special shoutout to Haley!!! she was so sweet, welcoming, and super informative. She took the time to guide each of us to the perfect ice cream flavor, and she absolutely nailed it. Her kindness and knowledge made the whole experience even better.

If you’re looking for amazing desserts and wonderful service, Gigi’s is the place to go!“

“scoops is my favorite local coffee spot around the ranch. they have many more flavor options than starbucks, consistently good service with friendly ladies that make great recommendations. my go to bevs are iced lattes with lavender honey, coconut vanilla, and vanilla chai, i could go on… i also love that they are open early, and pup cup friendly ☺️“

“I love hanging out here and enjoying a coffee. The baristas are so friendly and the overall atmosphere is very homey and cozy.“

“They have fantastic sandwiches made with premium ingredients. Just tried the snickers cheesecake and have no words to describe how delicious it was. Visit this store, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Creamy gelato is soooo good. Also had one (one!) milk chocolate sea salt truffle. OMG. Outdoor, shaded, seating available. dog-friendly too!“

“Had a great visit at PG Culver’s today. Was greeted by a jovial cheese-head who was highly recommending the new chicken sandwiches. We stuck w the butter burgers and he was very helpful & efficient taking our order. His coworker w long blond hair delivered our order to the table in record time. Before we left I purposely went back to the counter to get the cheese-head’s name - Juan wished us a great day. Thanks for the smiles, laughs, good food & efficient service!“
