15 Best Ice Cream Shops in Winter Park

“So we are from Maine here in Orlando on vacation. My son found this place on the internet and we were a bit skeptical of it. On our last day in Orlando we decided to give it a try and I am SO GLAD we did. This place was awesome. The ice cream was VERY good. I got a small portion of the Cuban Coffee ice cream with almonds, heath and hot fudge and I regret getting a small. It was so good I ordered another small one. The staff was very friendly Avery and Mia were very helpful and were very knowledgeable when we had questions. They was such a good selection of flavors and toppings which would accommodate any one frok kids to adults. They even had vegan options for those who are into that. Overall great experience 10/10 recommend giving it a try as we do t have anything unique like this in Maine.

Vegetarian options: Vegan options

Parking: Parking next to building

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options for kids with flavors and toppings“

“I had one scoop & it filled My heart with joy. I don't even I like park avenue even more now & it's all because of this Gelato place“

“Stopped in as I was in the mood for ice cream. I learn that it is a local, family owned shop, the guy serving me runs the place with his father. It was fairly clean and he was super friendly.
I ordered a brownie sunday and I appreciated the brownie being warmed without requesting so, it heightened the overall experience. Prices were also fairly reasonable.
Others in the shop order the bubble waffles which seemed to be their specialty and there was nothing but positive feedback. Definitely recommend stopping in if you’re in the mood for a sweet treat.“

“In the Battery Atlanta and stopped in and we loved it! Awesome flavors and great service! We did a reel for it in our page!!“

“Five starts really for food, service, and atmosphere..... I just had to knock down one star because we like to pay cash... and that is not an option at this location.

My daughters, their friend and I decided to hit the hot Florida pavement with a bike ride and run with grand plans to end with a scoop of ice cold ice-cream!

Upon arrival I cannot tell you how my daughter's hot red melting faces first lit up with excitement and then quickly dropped when we realized you all do not accept cash at that location.  Believe it or not, we are a cash pay family and only own one credit card which often doesn't leave the home.  We were hot, sad and didn't know what to do.

The employee at the shop, Riley, quickly turned things around with her calm gentle smile.  She helped me solve our woes by finding a way to download an app, call a friend for a credit card etc.... while simultaneously distracting my girls with a sample and patience in picking out the sample.  And she figuratively "threw the cherry on top" when she announced that they carry GLUTEN FREE CONES! My daughter rarely gets to partake in the cones when we are out because of her allergy - but not today. There is no way we would have been able to quench our expected reward with ice cream today if it wasn't for Riley - our exciting trip ended in wonder rather than sorrow.  She is a gem of an employee in every way.  From kindness, respect, patience and joy, not to mention a great role model for my daughters.  She surely deserves a raise and praise.  I can imagine facing people with the same problem on a regular basis, it could become tiring to be the bearer of bad news - but not for Riley. Please bring back cash.... and definitely keep Riley at the shop!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free cones!!!!“

“Major win for ice cream and humanity in general. Go ahead and buy a banana split.“

“Delicious 😋 simple of that.“

“Haagen-Dazs has definitely been one of my favorite ice cream and dessert brands since I took my first bite, many years ago.
They are notoriously upscale, and therefore, not the cheapest menu among their competitors. Most of the time, I am willing to overlook that fact and splurge every once in awhile. Everyone needs the occasional treat.
I was delighted when, while scrolling through restaurants on a third-party delivery app, I landed on this Haagen-Dazs location that is not too far from my house, and therefore, a viable option while deciding which delectable dessert would be mine for the night.
Of course, with today's added fees for just about anything and everything, especially delivery, the cost for two milkshakes was far more than I had anticipated.
Nearly $30.
By the time I received the milkshakes, they were slightly melted, and one was the incorrect flavor.
I don't place faults on the shop alone, seeing as they are likely overwhelmed by the new demands for takeout orders and the limited number of staff to get every single item made to perfection.
However, I will say that after stopping by this location in person a few weeks later, I was impressed with their employees quickness and accuracy. Plus, my two milkshakes went from $30 down to about $18-ish.
My advice?
Cut the third-party companies out of your order and take your business into their location.
Oh yeah, and don't forget to try the "Belgian Chocolate Milkshake". It is simply the BEST.

Vegetarian options: There is not a vegetarian-friendly menu at Haagen-Dazs, but there are a couple flavors of sorbet that are vegan-friendly.

Dietary restrictions: They have several options for seekers of 'healthier' or 'less fattening' options.
Their newly released "HEAVEN" collection includes the following flavors: Sea Salt Caramel, Cold Brew Espresso Chip, Strawberry Waffle Cone, and Peanut Butter Chip. The collection is made with 1/2 the fat, 1/3 of the calories, and 25% less sugar than the regular flavors. They also contain no artificial sweeteners. At this time, I believe the "Heaven" Collection is only available in 14 oz. take-home containers.
They also have a collection called "DIVINE" which has 50% less fat and 25% less sugar.

Parking: Handicapped parking spots and plenty of spaces in the lot. It is located in a strip mall, so there are spots all around, although there are times when this area is busy.

Kid-friendliness: There are kids-size single scoops and plenty of sweet treats that your kids will be grateful for!

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking spots, ramps on the sidewalk, no stairs, easy to access in a wheelchair or crutches.“

“Title: A Delightful Ice Cream Paradise!I recently had the pleasure of ordering an ice cream birthday cake from Cold Stone in Winter Park, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish and I left with a huge smile on my face.From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Emily and Brianna were incredibly friendly, attentive, and eager to help.In conclusion, Cold Stone Creamery in Winter Park is a must-visit for any ice cream enthusiast or anyone looking to treat themselves to a delightful experience. The combination of exceptional flavors, top-notch service, and a welcoming ambiance makes this place a true gem. I left with a happy heart.“

“This is my spot! If you are craving the highest quality of cookies look no further. This location delivers exactly what you want every single time and they do it fast and efficiently. Pace yourselves lol

Parking: During the day I recommend parking in the back of the building. At night parking becomes more readily available.“

“We love rainbow snow cones !!!! Been going since the 90’s. Bob is the nicest and makes the experience fun w snow balls!“

“Found here the best chocolate in the world!🥰“

“All the options are delicious. Not only the ice cream.
They make chocolate, covered apples, Marzipan fruits.
Milkshakes and everything delicious the best place to close the day !!!!

Kid-friendliness: Los más felices!!!“

“They need to have another person working the front. It was just 1 overworked person doing the ice cream. I felt rushed because there was a huge line behind me. Otherwise the ice cream was good. A little bit pricey for what I got but it was good. Atmosphere was good for a coffee shop. Many people were sitting down with their laptops working.“

“Great burger and great place on the lake“
