21 Best Ice Cream Shops near Santa Rosa Beach

“I absolutely Love Pecan Jacks ice cream. Matt, Ava and Barnes were super nice and so helpful! Their chocolates are Fabulous also! Make sure you stop in and say “Hi” to Matt!“

“Topped off a beautiful day with this awesome ice cream ! Our little guy enjoyed all the flavors!!🍦“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“A bit pricey and longer lines, but this is a tourist location. What can you expect? The staff were very nice when I went this morning. Just have a little empathy when they are exhausted after serving a line of 20 people for 3 hours straight. If they seem overwhelmed then come back in the morning when they are less busy. Trust me, everyone will be happier this way.

Update: I've been going here twice a day all week. They have successfully gotten me addicted to fudge. If I had one of these back at home I would have diabetes by now.“

“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.“

“Fantastic little shop with delicious treats located right off 30A. Walking back from the beach? Stop in for a shave-ice! Driving down 30A? Grab a shake for the road! Friendly and courteous staff, also gave us great recommendations for things to do in the area. Loved it!“

“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!“

“We booked Kona Ice for our daughter's birthday party and it was a great experience! The flavors were amazing and the kids and adults all enjoyed them. The driver/server was so friendly and the owners answered any question we had. Will definitely book them again!“

“This place was SOOO good. I really like coconut and mango and I always get them when I’m getting gelato. The thing is, they don’t all taste as good as the one I had here. I don’t live around here, but I came to visit, it was absolutely amazing!! It was so creamy and had such a great flavor. This may also seem weird, but the gelato didn’t seem like it was too cold or too hot, which DOES happen. They also have really good flavors of everything and the place has a little area outside to sit!!“

“Love this Dippin Dots! The people who work there make the experience SO much better because of their awesome and fun personalities!“

“The customer service was top notch! The caramel popcorn, chocolate covered marshmallows and rice crispy treats were ALL delicious! We also had the specialty ice cream, Destin Mud, which is delicious.“

“The staff is amazing & a credit to the store. We visited for the 2nd time this evening & the young man remembered us which gave a special feel to our return business! Lots of choices & they'll make samples for you too. A real treat!“

“This local ice cream shop is such a gem! The flavors are fun and creative—where else can you find something as amazing as blueberry cheesecake? Every scoop tastes homemade, rich, and full of surprises. Definitely the go-to spot when you want a sweet treat before you hit up the arcade next door!“

“I was craving a chocolate malt really bad Saturday 9/20/25, night. I went in about 9pm and the young man that was in there, I believe his name was Jalen (?). I asked him if they made malts and he was a bit confused about what it was and after I explained it was a shake with powdered malt in it, he said they didn’t have any. I thanked him and walked out. I was almost to my car and he came running out to stop me and tell me he found the malt!! I went back in and he made me a chocolate malt! It was so delicious and definitely hit the spot. It would’ve been so easy to just let me go and I would’ve never known any different, but he went out of his way to look for the malt and then chase after me and I just wanted someone to know what a great job he did! Thanks (and so sorry if I got your name wrong, I’m terrible with names) 🩵 Great job going above and beyond!!“

“We absolutely loved our stop at the Häagen Dazs shop in Silver Sands Premium Outlets, just moments from Destin. The delicious sundaes, shakes, and waffle cones were a hit with us. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the charming atmosphere made our visit feel really special. The ice cream even tasted sweeter since my daughter paid. It is the perfect treat during outlet shopping and something we will definitely go back for.“

“No matter what we get, frozen yogurt, boba, smoothie, blended/ice coffee... It's ALWAYS SOOO GOOD!!! Even adding protein to a blended coffee is good!! 10/10 we love it“

“My wife and I purchased three chocolate chip and three snicker-doodle cookies, and while they weren't cheap, they were indeed excellent! The lady therein also included another chocolate chip cookie still warm and melty just out of the oven! Highly recommended!“

“I got the iced latte with white chocolate and butter pecan. I’m picky about my coffee and this was perfect!! The staff was sweet! Definitely recommend their coffee. 10/10! Donuts were also great!“

“So great 🥰 ...and clean and the employees are very helpful & nice“
