50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Winter Springs

“I love their Italian ice and soft serve. I buy 2 or 3 at a time.“

“Amazing cookies! I initially discovered Crumbl when my team at work sent them for my birthday last year. They were huge and delicious! This year I got them for my boyfriend’s birthday and he was so pleased! We got the French toast cookie which might was amazing! Tasted like a crumble cake but even better! The cookie dough cookie was one of their cold options and tasted just as it sounded! The chocolate peanut butter brownie I’ve been hoping they would have for awhile! Anything chocolate/peanut butter if my jam and it did not disappoint! The last one was the cookies & cream and was great as well. You cannot go wrong with any of their selections! Yum 😋“

“Our family stopped in for some delicious Phoebe’s ice cream this evening. We had a hard time choosing as there are so many amazing flavors, so we each got doubles… Vanilla, orange dream, amaretto chip, dulce de leche, and chocolate brownie did not disappoint. The people and atmosphere are both lovely. We enjoyed sitting for a spell to enjoy our treats. 🐈 🍨 💜“

“I usually don’t write reviews but I believe when someone or someplace deserves one, well… Loved this place from the variety or flavors to the service renders by the staff ( very friendly and professional) I had banana pudding and OMG!!! the texture and taste was amazing I want to thank the owners Louis and Marcelo for helping me with my selection. Will be back with my family and friends soon“

“Delicious hot chocolate!!“

“Love this place! Staff is great and vibe inside and outside is cute“

“Great place for events! So much fun!“

“A hidden gem in the area! There were many flavors to choose from and all great quality. The servers greeted us warmly and I'd say prices are very fair. Inside are a few spots to sit and enjoy your treat. I'm hoping the styrofoam cups are a part of their transition into getting their own personal logo on their containers. But if it's not, no harm done.“

“Got their graham cracker ice cream. It was incredible!!!“

“Went to Ice-Spot Lake Mary tonight for the second time and it was absolutely wonderful!! My family had a great time and the customer service was phenomenal! Everything was delicious, clean, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience! We loved that there were games we could play while we ate and had fun watching our ice cream being made. Thank you, Ice-Spot! We will definitely be back! 😊“

“I brought my granddaughter to Nan N Pops on Friday and she absolutely loved the Zack’s say cheesecake bubble waffle. She had a hard time trying to decide what to get from all the offerings. The staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. She enjoyed herself so much that she wants to make Nan N Pops our “Friday Girls Night Out” place to go. I have to admit the ice cream was the best I’ve ever tasted!“

“DELICIOUS!! Great treat after a long work day!“

“This place was a great find! Mia was so helpful and kind. She made suggestions and let us try flavors before committing. We ended up getting 2 flights and wow! It was fantastic and enough to save for later too! The ice cream was so creamy and absolutely phenomenal. You cannot go wrong with this place. We will definitely be back to try some other delights. Thank you, Mia!“

“had a great experience for a family ice cream date!“

“Awesome and fast service, clean, warm colors, comforting atmosphere, awesome food and desserts. What more could you ask for? This place is my go to with my family and friends! I definitely recommend going if you’re thinking about it!“

“So good ,my favorite Pumking Pie 😋“

“Probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had! I would recommend it everyone! Amazing flavors, add ins and the texture is the best!“

“Had the mexican chocolate - what a great flavor idea! Truly one of the best flavors I've ever had. Love the decor inside. There was only one person working behind the counter so the line was a little slow. I parallel parked on the street, there's not a lot of parking but it looks like there might be a parking garage shared by the other businesses in the area. There's only 3 two seat tables inside. Some tables outside and across the street, a little park area with seating.“

“Almost too pretty to eat! The peppermint mixed with chocolate was AMAZING! Go there.“

“I like going on a date night with my husband. It's D'BEST“

“Great place with a different approach to Italian ice cream. I ordered the strawberry shortcake and it was so flavorful but not overpowering with sweetness which made it perfect. The attention was fast even when the line was long. It has a sitting area outside and it opens until 10pm on Thursdays. Pretty much a great place to try some sweet and refreshing flavors. 🌸🌸🌸🌸“

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

“Fast service, pleasant staff and great ice cream“

“Always Super friendly serive. A staple of the Sanford Community.“

“Delicious 😋 simple of that.“

“Awesome new ice cream shop in Lake Mary! Tons of flavors to pick from! Soft serve, hand dipped ice cream, Italian ice, shakes, sundaes, sugar free ice cream... Huge variety! Excellent service, plenty of seating, and great prices/specials! Support local!“

“Love this tasty place..🍦🥰“

“Kelly's ice cream,
a sweet seduction
like a whiskey-soaked kiss
on a summer night

Mint chip, your cool breath
on my skin, like a
cold beer on a hot day
as we dance under the stars

Strawberry, your ripe lips
inviting me to taste
with a shot of tequila
our love becomes a flame

Rocky road, your mix
of nuts and chocolate
like a rich bourbon
that warms my soul

Peanut butter cup,
your creamy touch
like a smooth Irish cream
on a lazy Sunday

Cookies and cream,
your sweet vanilla skin
with a cold pint of lager
our love is a sweet sin

Kelly's ice cream,
you make me feel alive
like a shot of espresso
with a splash of desire“

“The ice creams are delicious, I recommend this place 100%.“

“Tasty ice cream date location!“

“lo más divino de Venezuela en esta hermosa tierra.“

“So so enjoyable, quick friendly service“

“I highly recommend stopping by Twisty Treats in Longwood, Florida! The general manager, Sam, was absolutely amazing — she has such a beautiful personality and made my visit feel genuinely special. I came in around 1:00 p.m. when it was pretty quiet, and she suggested I try the Reese’s Twisty (which I’m so glad I did). She made it perfectly! You can tell she’s a hardworking, kind, and thoughtful person who truly cares about her customers.

This location is clean, relaxing, and perfect for families, friends, or anyone who just wants to treat themselves to something sweet. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience — I’ll be coming back!“

“Ice cream is always fresh. They do let you taste the flavors but the employees (all except one woman) are not that great. You can ask for something, they oddly walk away without acknowledging, they get it for you but the interactions are always odd. Its almost like getting something from a vending machine.“

“Got their graham cracker ice cream. It was incredible!!!“

“Waited for about 25 minutes, as evening line was around 20 people . Two people behind the ice cream counter worked tirelessly and efficiently to serve patrons as soon as possible. One staff member also added a bit of theatrics with creating and putting the ice cream in its cup. Very talented! My son had lemon ? cake, strawberries ? mixed with French vanilla ice cream. I had rainbow sprinkles and sweet cream ice cream, my daughter had strawberries with strawberry ice cream. All amazing, all delicious. Cashier was also pleasant, with a warm smile. Definitely recommend, was around $23. Not cheap, but in pricey Citywalk, it was worth it✔️“

“Super good ice cream! I'm an ice cream fiend and this is some of the best ice cream I've had. It was super creamy and delicious. I got the turtle ice cream sundae in a waffle bowl and my friend got just the normal vanilla ice cream in a waffle bowl. Both were delicious and relatively cheap. $3 for an ice cream cone this good is a steal! Definitely recommend!“

“Thank you for staying open“

“I just had the best experience I’ve ever had at a crumbl cookie storefront ! The service was top tier! Addis was very helpful explaining each of the flavors to me! His energy was everything! I told him the flavors i traditionally like in my sweets and he gave me such an accurate recommendation! This is officially my go to Crumbl!“

“Absolutely love this place! The froyo is delicious, and I really like that they offer a good variety of toppings—so it's easy to try something new each time.
The staff is always super friendly and makes you feel welcome.
Perfect spot to cool down or enjoy some time with the family! 🍦“

“This place is very good, but sometimes they took too long with the Cookies Are the 10 out of 10 I love it and there’s the closest at my house is like five minutes away and I could buy anything and I’ll be trying to air points in my phone but like the Points aren’t going through and I called and they were like Oh, we can do nothing about that but I love that place. The cookies are very good. I tried to do chocolate brownie when it was 11 out of 1011 out of 10,000 out of 10 like it was just good and delicious and yummy like dang“

“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.“

“I am a repeat customer for years now. I've always had excellent customer service & given smoothies with WOW - factor.

The prices are normal local smoothie shop prices but , the smoothies taste better than most local smoothie shops ❤️🙂

I highly recommend the mango peanut butter; it's my favorite!! Over the years I've brought family & friends here who have tried other flavors plus ice-cream & loves it.

Thank you for excellent customer service & great tasting smoothies.“

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

“@BigDudesBigFoods is collaborating with another #SmallBusiness called @Wondermade . They are a company that makes handcrafted marshmallows, ice creams and hot chocolate.
#BDBF is drawing attention to their #MarshmallowsAcrossAmerica campaign. #Wondermade created 50 flavors for 50 states voted on by their customers. We got our home state, New Jersey
flavor in Marshmallows Across America which is #Cannoli.
These NJ Cannoli marshmallows capture the sweet, creamy flavor of a classic cannoli in a squishy, marshmallowy morsel. They are topped with chocolate chips, and rolled in crushed cannoli shells. One bite will tell you that Wondermade loves what they do as they nailed this attempt at a marshmallow/cannoli mashup. Give them a try or 50 tries if you like. #BigDudesBigFoods

“Was nice to see a Rita's on our family trip to Orlando. Being a Philly native, we grew up on Rita's during the Summer. Apparently this store just opened up and we were very happy to have stopped. Very friendly staff and the product never disappoints. Support the Sanford Ritas Florida residents and those traveling through the area.“

“Bri at Cold Stone is the reason late-night ice cream runs exist. From the second we walked in, her vibe was unmatched! So friendly, upbeat, and very helpful on finding us the perfect flavors! Her recommendations were spot-on (like… how did she know exactly what we were craving?), and she made the whole experience feel fun instead of rushed. She’s a gem 🍦✨“

“Crumbl is delicious. The staff is pleasant and efficient. The place looks clean and inviting“

“We love Menchie's! My kids always request it for this place specifically. The amount of different flavors and toppings makes it so that everyone can get what they want. The staff is friendly and the place is always clean. I highly recommend go there for a treat!“
