    If you like Pina colada's and getting caught in the rain.
    Ariel W.

    Cleveland's Old Fashioned Ice Cream was founded by Cleveland Jackson, the ice cream maker for Jaxson's Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant in Dania Beach for thirty-seven years. Jackson started out as a dishwasher in the famed, iconic ice cream parlor before moving up to head ice cream maker. After Jaxson's founder Monroe Udell passed away in 2014, he decided to strike out on his own. First he opened Localicious in Fort Lauderdale and left that business in 2019 to focus Cleveland's in Miramar. In 2020 Cleveland's opened with 48 flavors of ice cream made on the premises. All of the ice cream toppings and soft drinks used in floats are also house made. In the ice cream cases you can find the usual suspects like vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, butter pecan, and birthday cake alongside more exotic flavors inspired by Jackson's Jamaican heritage like sour sop, grape nut, dragon stout flavored like a Guinness beer, and cheese-and-bun which was inspired by spicy Jamaican buns traditionally eaten on Easter. There are also vegan and sugar free options. The inside of the shop is really cute with bright colors and ice cream wallpaper. On the day I visited they were offering new flavors, guava and passion fruit but I chose my all time favorite cocktail flavor, Pina Colada in a waffle cone. I asked for one scoop and the serving size was huge. The ice cream was filled with my favorite flavors of coconut and pineapple. It was like a tropical escape. This ice cream is top notch as evidenced by the many awards that Jackson has won on display. Even nicer, the staff is as sweet as the ice cream. If you find yourself in Miramar, I highly recommend stopping by for a taste that will bring you back to your childhood.

    Fun ambiance, great tropical and unique flavors, friendly staff!! Cleveland's had some of the best tropical flavored, Caribbean inspired ice cream in South Florida. Grapenut is my favorite! Rummy Grapenut is even better. Coconut rum cream is flavorful and delicious. Dragon stout (Guinness flavor) hits the spot. The bun and cheese ice cream is good but I can't eat an entire cone of it. And, the praline is delicious. There are so many unique flavors. The staff is helpful. They allow you to sample a few flavors to help you choose the best flavor that you may be craving. The decor is bright, fun, and engaging. They have booths for those who may want to sit and chill for a while. Overall, great service, great atmosphere, and excellent ice cream! This is my top choice for ice cream.

    Banana and bun and cheese in a waffle cone
    Evelyn W.

    The dragon style was really good. It's not too overpowering. It was pretty delicious. The bun and cheese is also very good with actual chunks of bun in the ice cream service was quick and we were in and out. They do have a lot of options so if they are busier, it will take a while.

    Delicious ice cream (vanilla brownie and coconut)
    Carrie A.

    I went there 3 times already and have a lot of cool and interesting flavors!! I tried the vanilla brownie and coconut today and it was tasty lol. Ill probably go there a fourth time if my dad allows it lol

    Cookie Dough Ice Cream and Oreo Milkshake
    John L.

    My wife had a craving for ice cream and wanted to check out this spot. This might be the best ice cream in all of South Florida! Food: 5 out of 5 - Wow. I had the cookie dough on a waffle cone and my wife had the Oreo milkshake. The ice cream was ultra creamy with chunks of cookie dough just the perfect size to eat! My wife had the Oreo Milkshake which didn't even last the ride home. Service: 4 out of 5 - Nothing special about the service, though it felt as if we were skipped over when trying to order. Vibe: 5 out of 5 - This felt like a great ice cream spot to bring your kids for a quick ice cream.

    Popped in today to grab an afternoon treat with my friend and our kids. The establishment is clean, the employees are friendly. The guy that helped us was patient with me because I'm mistakenly ordered a vanilla shake instead of a strawberry shake like I wanted. We also got a pecan praline shake, a pistachio shake, and some scoops of ice cream in cones and cups. They all were great! I understand that Cleveland from Jaxson's opened this place. We've seen him over the years when visiting Jaxson's. It's so nice that he's ventured off and done his own thing too. To be honest, it's not too far off from Jaxson's. It doesn't have the glitzy lights, decor and nostalgic items that Jaxson's has but it delivers if you want some good ice cream and shakes. They have cute decor here too though, the ice cream wallpaper just puts you in the mood for a nice sweet treat. I didn't try the cookies, but they are huge! I am going to try one of those puffle cones in the next time I come. The prices are decent and they are not too far away from my house. I will definitely come back because I saw some other flavors that I want to try.

    The ice cream is homemade and very delicious. The business was very clean and well kept and the service was great. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a frozen treat.

    Delicious ice cream! They make their own here and you can definitely tell. So yummy and the perfect treat for a hot summer evening. We saw Cleveland's on Yelp and drove the short distance from our home. Employees were nice and efficient. I got the Oreo milkshake and it was great. It was more milky than creamy but that is the way I like it. It tasted fresh with no added ingredients. My husband really enjoyed his cookie dough cone. Pricing was fair and inside was clean. They had so many flavors - something for everyone. We also noticed they had a lot of vegan and sugar free flavors as well!

    Clevelands Ice Cream Parlor
    Rasheda L.

    Oh So Creamy, Delightful and Delicious! I have been hearing about this Ice Cream Parlor for quite a while located in the heart of Miramar and today was the day to try it out! The uniquely rich ice cream flavors included vegan options that made my heart skip not one beat but two! The servers were friendly, warm and welcoming. I enjoyed the Puffle Waffle Cone with Rum Raisin, Black Cherry and Grape-nut Ice Cream...... and nope I couldn't finish it, so I took the rest to go. This spot gave me so many great vibes! I'm thinking family, friends, cute date nights or just because. The price honestly matches the Ice Cream Quality so just delight and enjoy!

    Long wait lines! So don't expect to be in and out. Not a lot of seating either with about 3 booths and 1 table. The upsetting part was their waffle machine was down... my husband was really looking forward to that. The ice cream brownie sundae and the milkshake were both very good though!! Tons of flavors to choose from and even lots of non dairy. You can see why they have been in business for so long and why people travel from all over to come here!

    Tamarind ice cream
    Shay D.

    Cute little place. Good sitting area. Bunch of flavors. Offers vegan and gluten free option as well. Couple of unique flavors. I got tamarind flavor. One of their unique flavors. It was really good. Staff was super friendly and offered samples. I would go again but it's a once a while treat cause I paid $8 for 1 scoop of ice cream.

    Praline and brownie ice cream
    Monique Y.

    Came here with the kiddos for an afterschool snack. Super convenient location in a very busy area. Restaurant was nice and clean. Plenty of cashiers and assistance as well as indoor and outdoor seating. When I came the register was not accepting credit card payments so I had to leave and get cash. There's plenty of options including vegan options. Took off one point due to music...be mindful of songs with cursing. Might be okay for some but not my kids. Prices were I guess average but seemed a little expensive but again what's not inflated these days. Scoop sizes were decent. The puff cone is a must. The flavor was on point and it was pretty nice with the light crisp however it does get soggy with the ice cream.

Parking is super easy as this is located in a parking lot with plenty of spaces. We got two of the bingsus-- strawberry mango and the earl grey boba tea snow. Both were so good and catered to different palates. I really loved the earl grey one because it came with lychee jelly which was an expected but pleasant surprise. The mango strawberry is a classic and it did not disappoint. The inside was clean and the staff was super nice. They also had cakes here and some specialty Asian desserts. A great spot for dessert in Hollywood!

    "Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first!"…read more Oh my goodness! Talk about bringing out the little girl in me! Icy-N-Spicy is a fun, colorful and vibrant newly opened dessert shop in Miramar. They are tik tok famous for the viral 3D ice cream poppz and their real fruit ice cream. After wondering around the shop snapping photos, Vanessa, the dessert expert on duty, helped me make my decision. Their entire menu is home made. But I was there for one thing in particular. The dragon fruit ice cream! This and a few other flavors such as mango, coconut, pineapple and kiwi are all made with 100% real fruit. Living up to the hype, it was delicious! The ice cream came in the skin of the dragon fruit, had perfect coloring and the right amount of sweetness. Talk about instagram worthy! The portion was very generous. I took a few bites and rushed home to put the rest in my freezer. Another plus, is that the ice cream held up perfectly during the 10 min drive home. Full disclosure, they are on the pricey side. I'm super excited to return for the Dubai chocolate desserts! This fun and unique dessert experience is highly recommended when in Miramar.

Everything looks viral and picture perfect. You can take photos literally anywhere and they will come out amazing. They clearly put a lot of thought into making the space fun, colorful, and social media ready. The staff was also very friendly. The girl who made my milkshake was sweet and even asked if I could leave a review, which I appreciated. The milkshake itself looked absolutely stunning. It was beautifully made and completely Instagram worthy. Unfortunately, the taste did not match the presentation at all. I ordered a Ferrero Rocher milkshake, and it had almost no flavor. It was not sweet, did not taste like chocolate or hazelnut, and honestly just tasted like milk. I am not exaggerating when I say there was almost zero flavor. I drank about one third of it and ended up throwing the rest away because I just could not finish it. For $16.50, that was really disappointing. I also noticed they sell viral dessert items like fruit ice cream pints priced at $30, which feels extremely expensive for ice cream. If you are looking for a fun, aesthetic place to take photos, this is definitely a great spot. But if you are going strictly for dessert quality and flavor, I personally do not think it is worth the price. I really wanted to love it, but it just did not live up to the hype for me.
