It was still delicious and looking forward to going back!“

“The best churro una Groceria de delicioso 😋“

“Hot Friday in Miami Beach. Wish to cool off with something cold and delicious? Try Rita's just off Lincoln Road on Collins.there is a lovely manager I met a couple days ago. She requested a Google Maps review so The Universe delivers. She also likes to read and is reading Spiritual books. I turn her onto Metaphysics Leadership & Politics and she suggested I get it published in Spanish. Great idea to manifest! My favorite is the mango Italian ice. Delicious!“

“This is by far the BEST ice cream you will find in South Florida. Yes I said it. And it's cheaper if you get it by the quart!“

“Attention to detail from the staff was very much appreciated. Lots of options from their freshly made waffles, ice cream, to their boba bar. It was a bit hard to understand the menu, however the staff was very knowledgable with the products and guided me, step by step in creating a masterpiece. Wish they were located closer toward the front of Julia and Henry's because people are missing out on such creativity.“

“The real gelato! Don't miss the best ice cream in Miami!! They offer a wide variety of ice cream flavors, all excellent. My favorite was the rum raisin! Customer service was Excellent!! Can’t wait to go back!😃😋“

“Small storefront, you might miss it. We walked from the Wolfsonian Museum towards Lincoln Rd. on Washington Ave and stumbled upon this little gem. Lots of flavors, creamy and not overly sweet gelato. Served in cups or waffle cones which are made fresh and add a bit of crunch. Actually, they give you a waffle disc on your gelato. Got hazelnut this time and there were tiny pieces of hazelnut in it. Don't get me started on the pistachio, it's exotic and delicious. Can't wait to go again!“

“The best ice cream place in South Florida, I really reccomend it! The managers are so professional and friendly😎“

“einzigartig und extrem leckeres gerolltes Eis mit Zusätzen wie Kinderbueno oder Walnüssen und Brownie, auf jeden Fall probieren!“

“Love Japow! The Strawberry Daifuku flavor is exceptional. One the best shaved ice I've ever had. It's so delicate, creamy, and delicious. The quality of the chocolate, the fresh strawberries , and mini mochi take it over the top. It's nice they use natural flavors. Loved the service. We had no idea what to order and the lady there helped us figure out what we should try by asking us if we preferred fruity or creamy flavors or both. We decided chocolate and strawberries would be best, and she was right! Best choice! This place is special. Whenever in Design District will be back for sure.“

“Our favorite spot on Hollywood Beach! Can’t wait to be back again soon! The Cortez Fam“

“My family and I were traveling in Miami and wanted to stop by to get a sweet treat. We saw that Rita's was open and went in for an experience we've never expected to have. We were given a wide range of options to choose from, and the staff member, Eyra, allowed us to get small samples of the options so we could buy the best one. She was very nice, very fun to be around with, talk with, and treated all of us with an experience unlike any other. I highly recommend this place, whether it be a quick stop or someplace to hang for a while, Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard is a sweet experience you have to try (literally).“

“Great ice cream amazing sandwiches and best of all very friendly staff a must go to“

“It was delicious! You have to try for sure!👍🏻“

“I'm not someone who usually goes out for ice cream—truth be told, I rarely step into ice cream parlors at all. But life has a funny way of changing your habits, especially when it leads you to a first date. La Michoacana was the meeting spot, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to make a first impression.

From the moment I walked in, the vibe was welcoming and full of life. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and positive energy that immediately set the tone. Even for someone like me who isn’t big on sweets, the variety of ice cream flavors was both impressive and tempting. I went for something bold—tequila and pistachio—and wow, both were absolutely A+. Creamy, flavorful, and unforgettable.

But what truly sets La Michoacana apart isn’t just the quality of their ice cream—it’s the ambiance. The decor is colorful, vibrant, and full of personality. Every corner of the place feels carefully curated, making it feel more like an experience than just a casual stop for a treat.

And then there’s the sentimental part: that night turned out to be one of the greatest of my life. Something about the energy of La Michoacana, the thoughtful presentation of each dessert, and even the subtle details in the décor made it feel like the universe had dressed the place up just for us. It wasn’t just a date—it was a memory. And La Michoacana played a big part in that magic.

If you’re in Homestead and looking for more than just dessert—looking for a place that feels warm, authentic, and a little bit special—this is it.“

“The best gelato in the 🌎 🥰“
