19 Best Ice Cream Shops near Rosemary Beach

“We stopped into Kilwins in Rosemary Beach and were greeted by a very polite and helpful young man. They have buy one get one fudge bars right now and they offer tastings. The ice cream is always great. Our favorites are the sea salt caramel, coconut, and espresso. Go visit this shop, you won’t be disappointed :)“

“We stopped here a few times. The young man working at this store, though near closing hour, was so welcoming and polite. Another day, it was a woman; she too, was very kind. Now, the young girl, tall/curly hair, Idk what her problem was. We may all have bad days sometimes, but she was plain rude and dismissive! I had to walk out due to her attitude and let my sister do the shopping. She needs some customer service training.“

“The BEST donuts in the United States!“

“The staff here is AMAZING! Sent a message earlier making sure they had safe options for my son (he has a peanut allergy.) When we walked in they recognized us and were so helpful and thoughtful. They even took extra precautions to wash hands and change gloves to make sure to avoid cross contamination. My mama heart is forever grateful! We can’t wait to come back here every visit! Thank you so much!“

“Went to Nigels for the first time - was passing it in Seaside and could not resist. I think this will be a weekly trip!!!!!! The dipped ice-cream bar was so GOOD!!!!“

“Hands down one of the best places we have been and some of the BEST people! Took kids for dinner and shakes, all of it was amazing. Then when we went to leave we realized my bf had locked the keys in the car so they stayed and tried to help us get in car until we finally did. We didn't leave till around midnight! They gave items for my kids to cover up as it was cold, they sold scoops after close to the woman and her husband who came to help us, they were a huge help in such a stressful moment! Highly recommend! Very nice people!“

“There’s something about Kilwins at the beach that just hits different. You step inside, see the sweet treats lined up in the glass cases, smell the sugar in the air, and suddenly you’re a kid again. I went for the s’mores flavor — rich chocolate, gooey marshmallow, crunchy graham — and it was a vibe, like summer wrapped in a cone.

Walking out with that cone in hand, ocean breeze in the air, it felt like the perfect way to end the day. Ice cream at the beach doesn’t get much better than that.“

“First time here and wow!!! The Resse Peanut Butter special is out of this world. Definitely going back again before leaving. The crew behind the counter worked hard to get all 8 of our orders done quickly and were very pleasant. This is a must visit place when in Santa Rosa.“

“The best snow cones ever!“

“I had a great time. To be able to walk out the back door and be right on the beach was everything. We will be coming back again.“

“Went to Nigels for the first time - was passing it in Seaside and could not resist. I think this will be a weekly trip!!!!!! The dipped ice-cream bar was so GOOD!!!!“

“Amazing service! The whole team was so kind and very complementary to the guests! Bailey checked us out and she was so sweet and genuine. We got the Butterfinger ice cream and it was absolutely divine! We also recommend the cookie sandwich!“

“Ordering was a little awkward since you’re standing there reading the menu and trying to decide while everyone just kind of stares, without really offering recommendations. However, my husband and I ordered the dark chocolate frozen yogurt on a waffle cone and the salted caramel, and both were absolutely divine. You can tell the waffle cones are baked fresh. This is definitely my favorite dessert spot here, would come again!“

“30A is the place to be I came down with my family to catch the ending of summer it’s a vibe. The scenery is great , family oriented, pet friendly and everyone is just pleasant.
I’ve never tried gelato before and New Orleans style snowballs and it was great, loved the texture etc.
The sales rep Monique was very attentive and pleasant she changed my life with that butterfinger.“

“We love Marble Slab! The line was long but it moved quickly and all the staff were so friendly!“

“We love this cute little lunch spot in beautiful Carillon! Several of our employees have eaten here while in the neighborhood delivering rental carts and the food has always been delicious with outstanding service!“

“The world’s best donuts!!! The cream filled donuts from Charlie’s are by far our all-time favorite. I only get one every three or 4 years when we go to the beach… sad, but probably best that they are there and not near our home!“

“My favorite breakfast place!“

“Great little place for ice cream and coffee. I think there were about 16 flavors of ice cream. Coffee, milkshakes, ice cream, and smoothie options. Seating is limited inside, but there are seating options outside. The young ladies working behind the counter were polite and patient with my young boys.“
