    Charlie's Ice Cream is a great spot for soft serve and other sweet and cool treats in the Hialeah area. Our friend was craving this ice cream all week and decided to show us his childhood ice cream spot before going to the theater in the area. Parking is super tough here but we were able to snag a spot late on a Saturday night. This place was absolutely popping! There were so many people but the line seemed to move at a good pace. They have daily specials so make sure to check out the sign before ordering. They had BOGO soft serve cones that night so some of our friends opted for dipped cones. I got soft serve in a cup with Reese's peanut butter cup crumbles and the chocolate dip. Each of the treats came out from the order walk up window in a good amount of time and we enjoyed our soft serve treats there! A great spot for soft serve if you're in the area!

    love this little gem in hialeah. Walked up to the window and gentleman greet my family and me. Very nice when I asked to try the strawberry, gave me a big serving. Overall great little spot to sit outside and have ice cream or they have a drive thru as well !

    We decided to stop for ice cream on our way home. I had heard good things about this place and it very did not disappoint. They have a large menu and also offer monthly flavors ( this month it's guava and cream cheese and it's delicious ) and creative items like ice cream nachos! They specialize in soft serve. The service was terrific, they were working hard since there was a line and apologizing for the wait. They have B1G1 specials every day of the week. Sundays on Sunday! Lots of parking and also a drive through. Go check it out!

    Pretty good! I think I'll stick with soft serve, but the night I went they were having issues with the machine. I ordered one scoop of ice cream and got like 3. It seems like everything is just massive. The line gets very long at night - especially if you park. But I did notice that the drive through moved very quickly. Service was decent, and the place is reminiscent of this olden days . If I'm ever in the area again, I'd come back. Ps - careful ordering the milkshakes. I saw a few come out and they were messyyyy.

    Love this local favorite. Great options and a bit cheaper than other ice cream spots. It's housed in a former DQ. There's something comforting about how simple the menu is, just a few soft serve flavors, a bunch of toppings, and that's it. No overthinking, no trends, just good ice cream done right. The staff were very nice and they made me feel genuinely welcomed. There are a couple of shaded tables out back, and a convenient drive thru Whether you're from the neighborhood or just passing through, Charlie's is one of those small gems that makes you smile before you even take your first bite. I'll definitely be back, probably sooner than I should be.

    After hearing so much about Charlie's Ice Cream I decided to give it a try while in the area. What I wasn't expecting was to see a drive thru line backed up onto the street and a line of people at the order window. It took about 30 minutes to get to order and this was on Sunday afternoon. So if you are in a rush this might not be the place but I will say they have a huge list of toppings and daily specials so you could come for months and never have the same thing. And although the lines were long the staff were friendly and didn't seem frustrated which provided a friendly atmosphere as you should expect from an Ice Cream place. My wife and I ended up getting Sundaes each as it was the BOGO special that day. I had a Sundae with Strawberry jam and Twix pieces. My wife had a Sundae with caramel drizzle and waffle cone pieces. Both were wonderful and brought back a nostalgic Sundae on a Sunday feeling. Will say they had a Ice Cream Nachos that seemed intriguing and will most likely be coming back to try that. Overall I recommend giving Charlie's Ice Cream a try and take that wait time to really go through all the options.

    The place is definitely happening, lots of people in line and a drive-through was full. The employees at work you're very friendly and the service was quick. The ice cream was good. If on a Sunday you're looking for something sweet they are open and ready to take your order.

    Just recently visited this place it used to be a Dairy Queen but now serve soft serve in addition to ice cream and sundaes a but of everything. It's a ventanita style store and they have tables and chair to sit so you can enjoy your ice cream. The menu has a lot of options which can be overwhelming, prices range from $4.00- 7.00 but the serving is alot enough for two, the flavors are wonderful. I got the soft serve since I usually get ice cream flavor which was chocolate and vanilla with twix toppings flavor was very good 10/10. Servers were quick with the orders and service. Would love if they added more pictures to know what the different kinds of servings they have. But overall my experience was great. Definitely a place to check out on a hot summer day. Tip easier to go in a week day than a weekend since there is a bit of a line but it moves fast.

    Soft serve was great Love how they have over 30 different toppings you can add to the ice cream. Crazy part is you can't add any of them to an ice cream cone????? Except peanuts or sprinkles. Make it make sense please Below is my strawberry soft serve with peanuts

    This is by far the best soft serve I have ever had. It's so creamy and the flavor is just right! Every time I'm in the area I make sure to pass by!

    Charlie's is that local ice cream spot that makes you nostalgic and feel like a kid again. I planned an east Hialeah food with some other Elites to show them around the neighborhood and this spot was a no brainer. Flavors like mantecado and Dulce de leche, among other Latin inspired flavors make this place unique. Plus, the girls at the counter are always friendly and eager to make suggestions.

    The line was very long so there was a bit of a wait. The ambiance well it was outside but it wasn't too hot. The ice cream we had was delicious.

    We really love Charlie's Ice Cream! I've been twice now--once with my husband and dad, and another time with our niece and her boyfriend--and everyone enjoyed it. Their soft serve waffle cones are my favorite! The portions are huge, the prices are super reasonable, and they have different BOGO deals every day, which is such a fun bonus. Last time I had the vanilla and strawberry soft serve swirl, and it was absolutely delicious. The service has always been friendly, which makes the experience even better. Definitely a great local spot for a sweet treat!

    Banana split!

    We came here after eating a very overpriced and unimpressive dinner at the idiotically-named…read more"Amalfi Llama" (tells you everything you need to know!), and let's just say that this place did little to put us in better spirits. As seems to be the case with most places nowadays, the tables were dirty and everything seemed to be all over the place. We did appreciate that one of the sales associates came over to explain the whole "concept" to us and guide us through the ordering process. The whole operation is so tacky with their fake periodic table, etc, but sure, OK, let's go with it, eye roll. The ice cream situation itself, despite the whole "scientific" nitro-hoopla, is not that great, Our daughter got chocolate with gummy bears, and the chocolate was pretty melty while the (fully intact) gummy bears were hard as a rock. And the gummy bears were extra large and seemingly all orange-flavored?? Our kiddo complained that they tasted like pure orange peels, and she barely ate half of her cup. The "ubelicious" was good flavor-wise, but again, the ice cream was kinda melty and the pieces of oreo in it were massive. One of us got the biscoff, which was the thickest of the lot, but it was almost too thick that it felt like creamy cement. So, overall, nothing was quite right here. Prices are steep, and the vibe just wasn't our thing, and the ice cream wasn't anything to write home about. So, overall, meh.

    I have to say, Nitrogen Chill Ice Cream is hands down the best ice cream I've ever had! What makes…read moreit stand out is not only the flavor but also how much healthier and fresher it feels compared to traditional ice cream. They use fresh milk and freeze it right in front of you with liquid nitrogen, so it never sits in a freezer or develops that icy, hard texture. The result is smooth, creamy, and unbelievably fresh. Another thing I loved is how light it felt afterward -- I didn't get that heavy, sick feeling you sometimes get after eating sweets. It's indulgent but still feels good for your body. I'd recommend Nitrogen Chill to anyone who wants a unique ice cream experience that's both delicious and better-for-you.
