50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Surfside

“To the employee who made our paletas on Friday night we just wanted you to know that after visiting 2 other Morelia locations we decided that hands down you were the best paleta maker.“

“Rita’s has always been my favorite ice cream shop since I didn’t like the Morelia palette because it had only popsicles I went to Rita’s and this experience was so amazing it wasn’t to expensive it tasted amazing and the service was amazing. Really enjoyed and recommended it.“

“Great flavors I had honey 🍯 fig and pistachio. The cotton candy flavor was so sweet“

“La Birra Bar is easily one of the best burger spots in Miami. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with the smell of freshly grilled patties and warm brioche buns, and it only gets better from there. The burgers are incredibly flavorful, juicy, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. Their fries and sauces are also amazing, and the whole menu feels thoughtfully crafted.
Martina was fantastic, super friendly, attentive, and made our whole experience even better. Great service and great energy!“

“Delicious icecream 🥰 definitely recommend!“

“Very genuine small business! Love the vibe and the personnel! They're so friendly and exude positivity.

They had ran out of freshly squeezed orange juice, but the owner kindly offered me a cup on the house while we were enjoying their assortment of gelato flavors. Particularly liked the Crema Limone flavor!“

Dietary restrictions: They do have vegan and gluten free options.

“The gelato here is amazing! I had the sweet caramel with Macallan whiskey and it was so smooth, rich, and full of flavor. Truly one of the best ice cream experiences I’ve had. Delfina was so Pretty, Kind and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Highly recommend this spot!“

“I had such a great experience at Quore Gelato Spot in Miami! Stephanie was absolutely amazing — she gave us samples, explained everything in detail, and made us feel so welcome. The Zacapa rum & piña colada was incredible, but my favorite had to be the cheesecake in the waffle cone the gelato was truly to die for. I’m from Houston, but this will definitely be a must-stop spot for me every time I visit Miami!“

“Excellent vegan ice cream!“

“Visited salt and straws this past Saturday and was pleasantly greeted with a nice friendly smile by Sam, she offered me various samples of the limited addition flavors, she told me to combine creepy crawly critters with honey lavender which to me was the perfect combination i’ve ever tried on this extremely hot and humid day, store very clean and waffle cones were perfectly cooked and crafted, Special and Big Thanks to Sam for your lovely, warm, and infectious energy that made a day feel so special, giving me the boost of energy to motivate me throughout my busy day.“

“After a hot day on the beach, we cooled off with a sweet stop at The Baked Bear—and it totally hit the spot! I ordered a warm chocolate chip cookie bowl topped with their signature Bear Batter ice cream and a generous drizzle of hot fudge—pure dessert bliss.

I also tried a cinnamon roll cookie and a gooey butter cake cookie, and both were just as delicious—soft, rich, and packed with flavor. Everything was freshly made and indulgent in the best way.

If you’re looking for a fun and satisfying treat in the heat, The Baked Bear is the perfect go-to! 🐻🍪🍦“

“I love Mogans mom. Why do I appreciate this ice cream shop and owner. First off you walk in and the place is spotless. Next being a 6 Ft blk woman she treated me like she's known me for age's. Nonetheless all her ice creams were tasty. If you don't like super sweet ice cream like me. She had her yummy rum raisins and pistachio ice cream. I asked for a regular cone which wws so yummy. I would have gone back for another if I didn't control myself .instead I went home to have water LOL. I will be back it's cute to have a place that you can walk across Hallandale Beach Boulevard grab an ice cream stroll the neighborhood and walk right back home and feel safe.“

“Great spot for summer desserts!
The mango had sweet pudding under the ice. I recommend getting the extra red beans!
The kiosk doesn’t print receipt so pay attention to the order number and when your order is being called out.“

“Large selection of fantastic gelato… lines often“

“US Love Ice Cream is a hidden gem!

Their crepes are absolutely incredible—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented.

If you’re craving something sweet, this is definitely the spot to visit!“

“The best ice cream ever!!!!“

“The vanilla ice cream cake with Oreo and chocolate from Yummy Frozen Yogurt was the highlight of our family gathering. The vanilla was smooth and creamy, perfectly blended with crunchy Oreo pieces and rich layers of chocolate. Served on a nice set of dishes, it looked as good as it tasted. Refreshing, light, and full of flavor, it was a dessert everyone truly enjoyed down to the last slice“

They boast over 46 flavors, including Dubai chocolate, mint lemonade, lime pie and more. I personally tried the pineapple with jalapeño and tahini, and it was absolutely delicious! Come check them out – the prices are fair, and the place is super cute for photos, right in the heart of Wynwood.“

“The best gelato in the 🌎 🥰“

“So delicious omg that purple potato yummy yummy“

“Yummmy… I enjoyed every last bite!!“

“Their ice-cream is amazing, but you can get that at all the Hagen-Dazs, however in this one you get great ice-cream and great service. They’re friendly and you feel you walked into your friend’s place to have ice-cream. Plus the cakes 🎂 are delicious too.“

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

“Finally had the chance to visit the Ventanita! Drove up from Homestead for a pint of the Pistachio ice cream. Absolutely delicious! Well worth the drive, and the wait at the window.“

“This is my favorite ice cream shop ever! Sarah could not be more accommodating and welcoming!! I tried the cookies for the first time today and they are better than all of the Local cookie shops! If you’re anywhere in the vicinity, this is worth the drive!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“extremely fabulous custard! BUT, Had NO Flavors! they were out of more than 75% of their flavors! Disappointing!!! This was at Hollywood Beach, Florida location“

“Came back to this place after YEARS of not visiting. It is still as good as I remembered. Excellent choices of ice cream and paletas. Anyone complaining about the prices should just go to McDonald's across the street. It's pretty inexpensive. The Ferrero Rocher ice cream was very good. The coconut paleta is also great. Small location but so worth it.“

“I'm from Philly where Rita's originated and have been wanting to try the location down here.

It's in a strip mall but very convenient. Parking might be an issue at certain times because there are a lot of other businesses in the mall. The young lady behind the counter was very fast and friendly. The place is clean and has tables inside so you can sit and enjoy.“

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

“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!“

“It’s ok but the banana split is getting smaller and costing more“

“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!“

“Martina exelente Anfitriona fuimos muy bien atendidos“

“This place is so good! They make their gelato fresh, in house and let you sample all the flavors. All of them are fresh & delicious!

They even gave our niece an extra scoop when her cone fell on the floor. They’re so nice! Support your local business and come here when you’re craving gelato.“
