Soursop
Rachel P.

I'm not a huge ice cream person but my friend wanted ice cream so we went to Cleveland's (but the location in lauderhill). I got soursop!!! Never seen that flavor available! I love soursop so it was an easy choice. The service was good and the ambience was fun and inviting!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

Hollis C.

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.

Brielle P.

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!

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.

Yadira R.

10/10 once more! Came in on a Sunday afternoon with the family and as always everything was delicious. Lines are always long. They have a dedicated section for vegan flavors as well as sugar free options. Mr Cleveland was there today as well talking to people and it was awesome to see. I had the strawberry cheesecake Oreo , My boy had the chocolate and mom had the soursop . I also took home a coconut rum cream which was so good. They have a lot of unique flavors like bun and cheese. And some other rotating ones. Overall I loved their ice cream and the service.

Alexandria V.

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!

Keep an eye out for the charming blue-and-white stand topped with American flags, set back from the road, it's easy to miss, but worth seeking out. The Siciliano family has been serving the Miami community for decades. In October 1961, Louis Siciliano opened a sub shop at 711 NW 119th Street in Miami. Although the original location has since closed, the family legacy continues with Siciliano's Frozen Custard and the neighboring Sub Center and Siciliano's Subs, all operated by members of the Siciliano family. Don Drybread, Louis Siciliano's great-grandson, originally opened the custard stand as Uncle Tony's Frozen Custard before renaming it Siciliano's in honor of his mother's side of the family. Siciliano's specializes in frozen custard, which differs from traditional ice cream by containing egg yolks and being churned with less air. The result is a denser, richer, silkier dessert with a smooth texture. It's also served at a slightly warmer temperature than ice cream, allowing you to savor its rich flavor. The custard is made fresh throughout the day, ensuring the perfect consistency every time. Custard is offered in the classic flavors of vanilla, chocolate, and a twist of both, available in cups or cones with your choice of nuts, candy, fruit, or sauce toppings. The menu also features sundaes, sorbet, milkshakes, and their signature thick Hurricanes. For something a little different, Carolyn's Creations transforms the custard into treats like cannolis, dessert tacos, and ice cream sandwiches. I ordered a medium vanilla custard topped with butterscotch and it was so satisfying. The rich, creamy custard made the perfect treat on a hot summer day. There isn't any indoor seating, but there are picnic tables next to the Sub Center, which is great spot to savor your sub or custard.

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.

Classic American ice cream parlor with creative and amazing flavors for everyone to choose from!!…read more Every time I'm back home in South Florida, I always make it a must to stop by here for a sweet treat. I've had their ice cream sundaes in the past and they're delicious! They even offer ice cream by the scoops (cup or cone), milkshakes/malts, ice cream sodas, and freezes. We stopped by last week after craving a sweet treat on a hot and sunny day. Our son has been into cookies and cream milkshakes lately so we decided to get two milkshakes. What I really like about this place is that they have a take out window for quick and on the go orders. I've dined in a few times in the past which the restaurant is so nostalgic with all the decor. The staff are friendly and efficient. We didn't wait long for our milkshakes. Our son absolutely loved his Oreo cookie milkshake. I have to admit that I've never tried their savory dishes but it definitely gives us a good reason to come back the next time we visit. We will be back!

I am not someone who typically leaves negative reviews, but this experience really upset me…read more We had heard this was a historic ice cream parlor, so we decided to go out of our way to check it out. While we were waiting in line, my 22-year-old daughter and her 19-year-old friend went inside to look around and browse the items for sale. They were approached by a female employee who rudely asked what they were doing. Fortunately, a nearby gentleman spoke up and said that they were clearly just looking around at the merchandise. My daughter ordered a double scoop without realizing how enormous it would be. The $14 double scoop on a waffle cone was literally about to topple over. Because the line was very long, I didn't want to cut in front of other customers just to ask for a cup. Instead, I stepped inside and asked an employee if I could have one to help save the ice cream from disaster. He gladly handed me a cup, and I politely thanked him. As I was transferring the ice cream, the same rude employee came outside and told me that I should have gotten back in line and waited for a cup. She barked, "The cups cost 50 cents extra." I responded that I would have been happy to pay the 50 cents, but we were having an ice cream emergency. Her response was, "Next time, wait in line and pay for the cup!" Keep in mind, I had just spent $38 plus a tip on two cones and a malt. I'm pretty sure I could afford the extra 50 cents. Needless to say, we won't be a next time. Ever. People who don't like dealing with customers shouldn't be working in customer service. Oh, and according to the girls, the ice cream wasn't life-changing, either.
