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.“

“Wow! Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been to plenty of ice cream spots, but this one has officially become my all-time favorite—mainly because I keep coming back for the frozen coffee and their delicious custard! Cony, JJ, and Isaac (the hilarious manager) always take amazing care of me. You can really feel the happiness they serve here. Can’t recommend it enough!“

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

“Directly to my TOP burgers in Miami. Really, REALLY good. Service is unmatched (Thanks Josefina, you the best) Tried several and all delicious. I will go with the Signature “Golden” for the first time experience. Coming back for sure. 💯“

“Delicious icecream 🥰 definitely recommend!“

“The gelateria boasts a wide range of flavors, and what's even better is that they're all vegan, gluten-free, and they even have sugar-free choices. I personally tried the Mocha Almond and Date Almond. You absolutely have to give it a try – you're in for a treat!
I recommend it“

“We got mixoligist flight (1, 4, 7, 8, and 19) and it was so good! We ended up mixing 8 and 19 (coffee and salted carmel) and omg I could've gotten drunk on ice-cream it was so delicious. Definitely will stop here again if I'm back in Miami!“

“I love Azucar Ice Cream, it’s the best.“

“I love bingsu, and the strawberry mango one was delicious. The mochi bites and red bean are a nice texture change. If I got one again, I'd stick to a full mango one just for my own preference, but the strawberry was also refreshing. At the bottom is egg pudding! They serve free hot black tea, which helps to keep brain freeze at bay. The business provides a self-serve kiosk, which made the ordering process efficient.“

“Salt & Straw Coral Gables is absolutely phenomenal. You can literally smell the creaminess in the air from half a mile away — it’s like the aroma pulls you in before you even reach the door. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a showcase of ridiculously rich, inventive, and decadent flavors that feel like a work of art. Every scoop is crafted with care, with bold combinations that somehow strike the perfect balance of indulgence and creativity. The texture is perfectly creamy and the flavor combinations are PERFECT. Loooooove.“

“This was the only ice cream shop in the vicinity we could find with vegan options and it was so worth it. We customized ice cream sandwiches.

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

A Truly Unforgettable Culinary Experience

Dining here was an absolute delight from start to finish. Each dish was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with creative flavors that surprised and impressed me with every bite. You can tell that the chefs put true passion and artistry into their work—every plate felt like a work of edible art.

The menu offered a perfect balance between innovation and comfort, taking familiar ingredients and turning them into something completely new and exciting. I loved how each element on the plate had a purpose, and nothing felt random or out of place.

The service was also exceptional—attentive, warm, and knowledgeable, without being intrusive. The staff guided us through the experience and made excellent recommendations that really elevated the meal.

The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, making it the perfect setting for such a refined but approachable culinary journey. From start to finish, this wasn’t just a meal—it was an experience that engaged all the senses.

I would absolutely come back again (and again). If you’re looking for a place that delivers not only on taste but also on creativity, atmosphere, and genuine hospitality, this is it. Highly recommended!“

“Highly recommend! Friendly staff, yummy popsicles, and dog friendly. What can you ask for more! All of us enjoyed our popsicles. I thought the price was better compared to a different popsicle place. And here, they also have popsicles for dogs! When we were there, they had three flavors. Our pup had the yogurt with berries and loved it. It was such a joy watching him enjoying it- we couldn’t stop filming/taking pics. 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).“

“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.“

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

“Great place to stop, chat and have great shaved ice.Lilly was an absolute darling helping us with our order (given that I dropped mine before I could eat it), and she made the experience a lot better.Tons of flavours to choose from, and super fun might I add haha.Awesome for this hot weather in Miami. Totally recommend it.Thanks Lilly!“
