Love love love this location. The staff is always nice and provide recommendations to go along with your choices. They are patient and put live in each dessert. I also like that it's located in the downtown area so it's close to my job when I need a treat after a long day. One of my fave dreamette locations. The tables and chairs and picture board for funny photos is a nice touch. The parking isn't the best but I always manage to grab a spot.

Vegan Chef Challenge - Tropical Island Delight Shake and Key Lime Pie Shake. Both delicious but Key Lime wins for me
Jacqueline H.

Mari is an absolute delight and I'm so excited about the items she brings to her location. Yes, all of Dreamette ice cream is good but the vegan options here are the bees knees! Vegan key lime shake is literally like the best key lime pie you've ever had in a cup. The line always moves fast and they have a fair amount of seating under umbrellas or under the covered wall way. Service is always with a smile and when it's hot and the line is line, don't be surprised when Mari provides cold waters for customers.

Pecan bread pudding with vanilla ice cream!
Katherine S.

I can't believe we've gone this long without trying Dreamette! We were in the Springfield area for dinner and decided to walk around the neighborhood to admire the beautiful homes. Of course, we had to end the evening with ice cream, so we purposely made our way to Dreamette. The line was long, which is always a good sign, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The menu has so many tempting options that I had a hard time deciding. Thankfully, the wonderful Mari came to the rescue! I asked about their bread puddings, and she recommended the pecan bread pudding, telling me it's made fresh from Biscotti's (if I remember correctly). That was all I needed to hear. Even though I was completely stuffed from dinner, I somehow managed to eat every last bite. It was rich, warm, buttery, and absolutely decadent. My husband took Mari's recommendation and ordered a vanilla mix-in with cookie dough and waffle cone pieces blended throughout instead of just a waffle bowl. He loved it and said the blended waffle cone added the perfect crunch in every bite. Now I'm wondering where the closest Dreamette is to us because this definitely won't be our last visit! Trust me, the line may look long, but it's absolutely worth the wait. Tip: If you go, don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. Mari steered us toward two fantastic choices, and we couldn't have been happier.

Medium vanilla cone with butterscotch dip and crushed pretzels
Laura A.

Service was FANTASTIC! If there wasn't a line forming behind us, I would have chatted with the owner all day! Our first visit here included history on this location, I didn't realize each Dreamette was owned separately and offered different items, and samples! Great location in Springfield, cute seating options with lots of shade. My husband loved his gigantic vanilla cone, dipped in butterscotch with the added suggestion of crushed pretzels for a sweet and salty combo. Love that they have the cone cover to protect you from drips and provided a cup and spoon as well. My small vanilla cup was perfect, but I am planned to be very hungry for our next visit because there are so many specialty items to try! My next one will definitely be the one with bread pudding (they get them from BB's/Biscotti's).

As a self-proclaimed ice cream connoisseur and a total sucker for a good soft-serve cone, Dreamette is an easy favorite for me--and the Springfield location definitely holds its own. I've visited several times now, and I'd rank it as my second favorite location, right behind Hendrix Avenue. I've tried the Neapolitan swirl and the chocolate-vanilla swirl, and while the vanilla is really solid, the chocolate doesn't quite do it for me. The strawberry leaned a little artificial in flavor, so not my personal favorite there either. However, my wife absolutely loves their non-dairy Dole Pineapple, so there are definitely wins depending on what you like. Beyond the ice cream itself, I really love the decor and overall vibe of this location. It's bright, fun, welcoming, and has that nostalgic ice cream stand charm. The service is always friendly, which makes every visit feel like a treat in more ways than one. Overall, this is a great spot to satisfy a sweet tooth, and I'd definitely stop in again whenever I'm in the area. If you're a soft-serve fan, it's worth the visit!l

Dirt Sundae with thin mint added
Kim C.

Sure, the selection is HUGE and the combinations endless! Sure, the taste of the ice cream is exceptional! But the single best reason to go and to return time and time again - is the owner! Mari is priceless! She came out and walked thru the menu with all of us -- she even got overcome with emotion when referring to a signature dish - turtle sundae! The area is bright and light and easy to access! The opportunity for taste-testing was so welcoming!! Run, don't walk ...

Black Forest Cake Shake... OMG
Steve G.

It's hard to explain the joy I received from visiting Dreamette Ice Cream. Yelp should make a special category, a 6th star, for places like this. Firstly, just look at this place! The old fire station transformed into a jewel box of deliciousness and fun. Then the secret ingredient, mentioned by many, how could you overlook it... the owner here, Mari, is a treasure. Not surprising that Mari was a nurse for many years. She cares for her customers in the same way a good nurse would, doing whatever it takes to make sure we're well cared for. When we arrived, she opened the cool little window and knew we hadn't been here before. It's obvious from watching the people coming in that she knows ALL of her customers... even remembering what they order too! She said, "Give me a second, I'm coming around to explain the menu." In a flash, she was out front, explaining the menu, how they created some of the specials, even offering a taste of a few things she said we had to try. What's going on? Is she for real? Can she be this dedicated? I was in awe of her kindness, caring, generosity and passion for what she is doing. No doubt she must have been an amazing nurse! Oh yeah, the ice cream. Fantastic! Delicious!! This must be what heaven is like.

Dreamette Ice Cream in Springfield is my family's favorite dessert spot in Jacksonville, without a doubt. We had not lived in Jacksonville very long before family visiting from out of town joined us in the quest of finding a dessert spot that has options for one of my kids who needs to stick to a dairy-free diet. Dreamette Springfield came up in our search, and we bravely embarked on our quest to cater to our needs. And what a discovery this place was! First of all, there are more dairy-free options than I've ever seen at any ice cream shop. Secondly... OMG, the butter pecan bread pudding sundae is maybe the best dessert I've ever had in my life! It's hard to describe the small-town feel of this place. You just have to try it. Lastly, the staff is great too! (Pictures out from our Dec 2025 visit)

What a fun spot for soft serve ice cream! Dreamette Ice Cream Springfield is located in a renovated car garage and they have a great selection of ice cream concoctions! I'm a sucker for chocolate dipped ice cream, and it was delicious. If you want a nice chocolate crunch, then make sure you wait a couple minutes for the dipped chocolate to harden! The soft serve ice cream texture was creamy and velvety! There are some outdoor tables and a bar top with several barstools. Definitely reminded me of BJ's Velvet Freez in Colorado Springs!

Chanelle G.

As an ice cream lover, this is definitely a must! I love hard ice cream but this cute Dreamette in Springfield is literally a dream of soft serve combinations! I absolutely love that they have a vegan vanilla. I tried their s'mores Sundae (my favorite) and the cookies and cream with vegan vanilla is so good! The owner is one of the sweetest people I've ever met and she's more than welcome to explain any of the menu items as well as the background of Dreamette Springfield. I can tell so much love is put into the things they make here and it has made me a forever customer! All good vibes at Dreamette!

All the flavors
Linda G.

This location is so cute, and the people are so nice! They really go out of their way to make your visit special. :) They have dole whip, and that's my favorite. My hubby had a milkshake, and his looked pretty awesome too. A wonderful addition to the Springfield neighborhood.

Employees hard at work.
Rebecca N.

They sent me an invite to stop in for the grand opening, but I could not make there on Saturday. But, I was able to come by on Sunday afternoon. I was going to order a milkshake, until I saw some delicious looking contraption of a dessert in a man's hands. I asked what did he order. He said, "it's a banana split in a cup". So, that's exactly what I ordered. I should of ordered a kids size. I ordered the medium and man that thing was HUGE! So, I asked for a lid and brought the rest home. I was only able to eat about a 1/4 of it. The Owner(I believe he was the Owner)asked me if I had the Customer Rewards Cards. I told him, "no" & he told me he wanted me to come back soon and punched my card and handed it to me. Wow! I get off work at 3:30pm & I work downtown-so I hope to come after work occasionally. It should not be too busy at that time of day. He did tell me that it is a separate franchise from the others, so the card was only good at the Springfield location. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Small dip ice cream- sizes are very generous!
Debi R.

Great Ice Cream stop on walk back to our AirBnB. So much history and huge selections of delicious flavors. Highly recommend.

We came here to finally try their popular desserts but we stayed for dinner!…read more We loved the drinks and our food. We ordered a board as an appetizer and waited close to 35 minutes for it before our server realized she never rang it up. We were upset as we wanted something to snack on as we waited for our meal. She offered to quickly have it made, but our food was almost ready and it did not make sense to us anymore at that point. But no other resolution was offered. The food was great, but it took a while to get our food. It didnt seem to be busy, yet they where slow. Im sure if we had our appetizer, we wouldnt have noticed the 45 minute wait. We loved the cheesecake and the mocha cake! Drinks where very nice and strong. Overall, i loved it here. Hopefully next time ill be able to get my board!

We have been back here multiple times since my last review and owe them a better review…read more We live at the beach so it's a bit of a trip for us but decided to make it over today for lunch. It was a really good experience. We started with the baked Brie appetizer and it was delicious ( forgot to photograph that). I'm a vegetarian and love the fried zucchini sandwich but today's lunch special was a spaghetti squash special and it was delicious! I highly recommend it. Hubby had the smash burger and fries and all was good. I had a special cocktail called Blue Eyes something that was very refreshing. Elise gave us very good service and as always, I got a piece of Tropical Cake to go, that will last for days. Other than parking being tough, this is a great place for girls days, lunch with the hubby, etc.

If you're looking for some good gelato or fresh mini donuts this is the place !!…read more My first time in Jacksonville beach area and stumbled upon this cute small shop close to the strip and truly had amazing gelato ! The coconut chocolate chip was incredible as was the guava gelato . I also tried the Dubai chocolate mini donuts they had .. which were incredible !!!

My daughter and her husband wanted donuts at 8:00 at night. We couldn't find many open donut…read moreshops; and my husband said we couldn't get "ordinary" donuts from a grocery store, so we found Lukumades by searching on our phones. It was a little bit of a drive away, near the beach, and there was absolutely no parking on a Friday night. My husband dropped me off and circled while I placed a few to go orders. It was a cute little shop with donuts, shakes, and ice cream. The donuts are not traditional donuts; more like deep fried donut holes that are covered with all kinds of yummy toppings. They're also served nice and hot and in 10 packs. They had lots of cool donut flavors like: Dark Delight, Maple Bacon, , White Tella, and Love U Matcha, The prices range from $8.75 to $9.50 per box. They all sounded yummy; but we decided on Twix Fix, drizzled with caramel, melted chocolate, and cookies, and Lotus Crunch, which was topped with melted Biscoff cookies. Our order was ready in about 5 minutes and the bag of donuts was nice and warm. We ate them when we got back home. They were more chewy and heavier than regular donut holes, but rich and delicious. You could really only eat a few; so a box of 10 is a decent sized dessert for 2 people to share. Lukumades is definitely a very unique donut experience and worth supporting because they're not a huge chain. You'll be glad you tried them....and its worth the drive.

The red velvet cupcake had a tempting cream cheese center that called my name, and I answered! It was not super sweet, a huge concern of mine, but just the right balance. I went in the late afternoon, so the cake, itself, was a little dry but the cream cheese center really helped it out. I will definitely be back for more on the menu!

The next morning, we had the sausage and scallion bun at home. I liked it, maybe more than the pork bun, and would get it again, though it had the advantage of being reheated at home in the microwave. My wife liked the dough, the hot dog less so (and I must admit the hot dog in the croissant we had a while ago at Cruffin & Tea was better). I'd get this again, though probably trying the regular hot dog bun instead of the scallion one next time. I'd asked the server if she could reheat our items when I bought them, but she said no, and didn't seem to understand English well. So far, I've preferred the savory things to the sweets here. Each item was $3-3.25, so a better value than the other bakeries I go to. I will return to this place periodically, but I still prefer places like Cruffin & Tea and Le Petit Paris, so I'm giving Mai Xiang Garden Bakery an average rating, 3 stars: pretty good, but not above average for a bakery, other than the good value.

There is seating outside, which is perfect for beautiful, sunny days; but the interior is set up more like a small shopping mart. You pick up a cart and get down to business mixing and matching treats to your flavor profile. I recommend visiting 3-4 times to become more familiar with the offerings as well as to give yourself some grace to try new things. I love that they have packaged treats and gemstones you can hand pick from the window case - this gives newbies a chance to ask questions and order to their hearts content without committing to the unknown. My next visit I'm trying another drink option and pivoting to the savory selection; they don't have the hot case for nothing!
