    Chocolate ice cream dipped in Peanut Butter
    Kaitlyn S.

    After seeing this place on many TikToks, thought we might as well try it. On a rainy Thursday 5PM- absolutely no line. Had our food within 5 minutes. Friendly staff. I've never seen so many options for dipped cones! I really loved the PB dip. Other than that, I thought ice cream tasted the same as everywhere else's soft serve. The portion sizes are crazy! I ordered the SMALL and it was basically the same height as my fiancés hand. This is great, other than I'm lactose intolerant and really just wanted a taste. Cute little shop. Happy we made the detour to stop here.

    Yummy softserve with so many options! Line moves quick so don't be tricked! The workers are super nice! Plenty or parking or I always walk over. Benches to sit and a sink to wash your hands which is great if you have littles! Prices are very affordable

    One of the 'Must Visit' places in Jacksonville. I grew up near Dreamette, and this is always a place to go back when I visit. It is the best soft-serve ice cream you could ever want. While I grew up getting the dip cones, there is something for every palette. Take a minute to watch people walk away to see what they've gotten. You'll hear, "Oooh, what's that?" but you'll also never go wrong with just a plain cone. On a recent visit, before we left town, we stopped at Dreamette, and it became our lunch. I had never had the Blueberry Cobbler cup before, as I'd always had just the "basics," but my goodness, if this is available you need to get it! Be careful of the sizes you get, 'cause I guarantee it's bigger than you think it is. People look at the cup size and forget it's going to be swirled high! I know there are other locations, but this is the original, and therefore, will always be the best. Be sure to bring cash, and don't be surprised if you have to wait for a parking space.

    Dreamette was such a wonderful find! When I moved to Jax, Murray Hill was the first neighborhood I explored. Inching up Edgewood Ave, I stepped back to the sixties and into a Jax Icon! Frozen custard - so smooth, rich & creamy - it's turned around many scorching Florida summer days and helped me stay cool. It's a walk up business. You order thru a window & wait for your order. No fancy seating (sometimes no seating), but the staff is always friendly and quick. They've recently opened a couple new shops, but I prefer going to the original. Hanging out on the corner, watching people from all walks of life smiling & enjoying their favorite Dreamette treat - life is simpler with a frozen cone in hand

    ***cash only*** Home town ice cream with its creamy thick goodness. This place is a local favorite but is quickly making a bigger name for itself. You will always find a line here. Got vanilla ice cream with a pie slice which was one of the best option in my opinion.

    What can I say? Yummy, affordable. Just down home good, old-fashioned, soft serve ice cream. I stood in line in the rain, with many others who felt the same! I ordered the small and it was huge. Cash only!

    This was our first time here and wow am I impressed! It reminds me of one of my all time favorite ice cream places from home so I am thrilled. The ice cream was delicious, reasonably priced and HUGE! We got mediums and definitely will get small next time. The line was wrapped around the building so I definitely know they are well loved. The line moved quick and the guy taking orders was super friendly and kind. We will definitely be back!

    Sundae with Chocolate Ice Cream, Cookie Dough and Oreos

    *Cash only* I love old school ice cream shops and Dreamette fires on all cylinders! Great ice cream and toppings, fast service, simple menu. I've had their shakes and sundaes which are both very good. I'd say the sundae would be my first choice. Their chocolate ice cream is creamy, smooth and delicious. As far as toppings my absolute favorite is their cookie dough. They use raw cookie dough here and wow, is it blow you away amazing! The Heath is also a great option as are the crushed Oreos. One thing is for sure, they don't skimp on the toppings. The line can get long at times but the wait isn't too bad and it's always worth it! Give them a try if you're in the mood for simple yet epic ice cream.

    We've been coming here for 15 years now. It's always been our go to place for celebrations with our kids. The ice cream is so creamy and tastes amazing. I love getting the dipped cones and they have so many flavor options. There are always the sweetest young ladies to take your order and make your ice cream behind the counter. It reminds me of my childhood because of the atmosphere and I'm here for it. When we went there were a bunch of middle school aged kids having our after school. It made my husband and I smile because they were just enjoying time at the ice cream shop together.

    Even with COVID going around, it's not stopping anyone from getting a delicious scoop of perfectly soft served ice cream from their favorite oldest ice cream spot. I have gone there a few times and there is always a line wrapped around the building of people waiting to get their fill and boy, it's worth it. Accepting cash only, you have your choice of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or swirl with your choice of toppings, dips, or milkshakes. Definitely a great quick pit stop to get in your sweet tooth craving.

We walked in just as a group of 4 were finishing up their order which gave us time to check out the menu. Hubby ordered a cup of sweet cream ice cream with Oreos and cookie dough. I ordered a cup of chocolate ice cream with brownies, cookie dough and chocolate sauce. The ice cream itself was good as were the mix ins. Nothing seemed special about it. Obviously, the concept is similar to Cold Stone which I think is way better. The two girls working were carrying on a conversation the whole time we were in there which I thought was pretty rude. I wasn't overly impressed by their ice cream or service. With the strong competition around town, I doubt we will be back.

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.

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
