13 Best Ice Cream Shops in Punta Gorda

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

“Had to visit my friend's ice cream shop and try their yummy ice cream while I was in town. I got the sampler-mint chip, vanilla, creamsicle, black raspberry fudge, espresso chip. Scoops are very generous. Love that this ice cream is not super sweet and the ingredients are definitely high quality. Pay them a visit. Highly recommend!“

“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)!“

“My favorite place but I can’t eat ice cream anymore. They offer a wide variety for everyone including lovely non sugar selections. But recently they stopped serving Pelican Tracks made for lactose intolerant and only offered vanilla with or without chips. They told me to contact Bonita Springs for their decision to discontinue. They said it’s WC choice. Either way I’m out totally. Super upset my choices are far and few between now. It was great !!! Really? Vanilla? Bummed.“

“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.“

“Everyone is so nice and the Ice cream is so good. Happy to have them in Babcock!“

“I LOVE supporting Mom and Pop local businesses that deliver on not only products but service as well. I have been coming to GiGi’s since I moved to Port Charlotte and have come to regard this establishment as a family favorite for our ice cream and treats go-to.
The staff are warm and inviting, always willing to go above and beyond to say: “YES, we can do that.” The owners and management are very friendly and welcoming to all their patrons the tables are covered in craft paper and coloring items to give everyone the ability to explore their creativity and the homemade ice cream and desserts are always scratch made, but it doesn’t stop there. They have an assortment of savory hot meals such as sandwiches, hotdogs and Lobster rolls. If you have a chance come check out GiGi’s and see for yourself. They are located in the heart of downtown Punta Gorda and they’re not too far away from shopping and other eateries and watering holes. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family does.“

“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.“

“Our favorite express breakfast stop! Great coffee, smoothies, breakfast sandwhiches and bakery items. We come to Punta 4-5 times a year and always hit it up several times. Our favorite thing to do is grab a coffee and go to a beach chair to consume. Workers are fantastic!“

“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!“
