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.
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.
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
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!
*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.

Dreamette is the stuff of legends--a Murray Hill staple that's been serving up happiness since, well, practically the dawn of time. (Okay, maybe not that long, but long enough to perfect the art of ice cream.) First things first: bring cash! This charming time capsule doesn't do plastic, and honestly, that's part of its old-school charm. On a humid Florida day, you'll likely find a line stretching out front, but trust me, it's worth it. Think of it as the universe's way of making you savor the anticipation. When you finally get your hands on that luscious, creamy goodness, you'll realize it's not just ice cream--it's an experience. Even the pickiest ice cream snob would have to admit: this place is the real deal. Seating? Let's just say it's not Dreamette's strong suit. But who cares? There's a few tables but we grabbed our treats and embraced the tradition of driveway ice cream. There's something about eating ice cream in your car or perched on the bumper that makes it taste even better. Bonus: no judgment when you accidentally wear half of it on your face. A word of caution: your eyes may be bigger than your stomach. These portion sizes are not for the faint of heart. That "medium" cone? It's basically a dairy skyscraper. Go ahead and challenge yourself--you're living your best life, after all. If you haven't been to Dreamette, do yourself a favor and get over there STAT. Your taste buds will thank you, your diet will cry, and your soul will be very satisfied. Long live Dreamette ice cream! read more

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. read more

First time there. CASH only ice cream shop. Delicious old school ice cream. Semi sweet, soft nice texture. Will definitely go back and try for more different flavors. read more
I love this place! Nothing like a sugar high the night before Thanksgiving, but well worth it! So many choices available for shakes and sundaes. The seasonal flavors available for shakes were peppermint, eggnog and pumpkin spice. The servings are large and very reasonably priced. Worth the visit for kids and adults! TIP: they only accept cash. read more

Good golly miss molly, has the Earth been orbiting closer to the sun more so than usual? It's been scorching these last few days, which means more ice cream field trips are on the horizon. When you find yourself drifting off into space, dreaming of something cold hitting your lips, pivot your body in the direction of Dreamette, and run damnit. You don't have time to walk! Dreamette is a Jacksonville staple. One that operates the old school way. Yep, make sure you have cash on you. Although, rumor has it they might take credit cards now? Our last trip resulted in a Vanilla Chocolate Swirl. Medium sized ran us $3.46 and it was enough to split between the two of us. Now some of you know I grew behind an ice cream / soft serve counter, and if my two cents mean anything to any of you, Dreamette has my stamp of approval. Go back in time, wait in line, grab your pennies, and get some soft serve. It's good for the soul. And it'll cool you off, too! read more
A refreshing, creamy treat on a blazing, hot day! I love the different combinations of presenting this ice cream: waffle cones, waffle bowls, shakes, sundaes, etc. The prices are very inexpensive (around $12 for 4 people)! Tip #1 ... the cones are huge!! The kid's cone is as large as a "regular" cone from anywhere else! Beware of how much your tummy can truly handle! Although, my son says there is a separate tummy for ice cream LOL! Tip #2 ... try the chocolate ice cream in a cone dipped in peanut butter! Yuuuuuuummy! read more

***CASH ONLY*** I wonder what franchise Dreamette Ice Cream is, because they are very similar to a place called Dairy Palace in New Castle, DE. Both places look similar, offer similar treats, have very similar amazingly creamy soft serve, and crank out huge portions. Both are cash only, too (and that cash only rule is the only reason I can't give Dreamette 5 stars). The similar place in DE is often named the best ice cream in the state. I'm not sure if that has been awarded to Dreamette, but they are certainly deserving of high regards! As I said, the ice cream is thick and creamy, served with care, in large portions, with a ruffly soft serve twist up your cone top, much more exciting than DQ. This place was very crowded on a weekday evening in March, so I see it's super popular with Jax locals. Definitely a must-stop if you're anywhere nearby in Jacksonville. Make sure to bring cash! read more

CASH ONLY! Classic soft serve! Dreamette gives you those classic, walk-up ice cream shop vibes. PSA: their sizes are HUGE. A small ice cream cone looks more like a large! (Pictured) I gave four stars because while the ice cream is good, there really wasn't anything super special or different about it. The unique thing is how long the shop has been in Jax. You can choose from vanilla, strawberry or chocolate soft serve. They also have many flavors of shakes and even some slushy options. Bring your dog so they can get a pup cup! read more
Cute little mom and pop place that has been in Jax for a long time. They are known for their dipped cones. They have so many dipping flavors I cannot even begin to name. I tried the butterscotch and I enjoyed it. Another great thing about this place is the price point, they have good reasonable pricing. Tip: Get EXTRA napkins and plan to eat your ice-cream quickly, it melts fast. :) read more

Tried Dreamette Ice Cream for the first time in Murray Mill. It was super packed but the line was fast. I got the chocolate vanilla swirl dipped cone. This is a small believe it or not! But some how I still managed to finish it! My pup almost finished her pup cup too!!! Let's say we're both about to pass out from soft serve ice cream overdose. Would recommend if you're in the area and craving something yummy. read more
This is one of the best soft served ice cream spots in town! They've been around for a long time, they're super fast, the concept is simple yet never disappointing. There was quite the line when we arrived & to be honest I even doubted standing in the heat. But I saw how fast they were moving customers along & that was a plus. By the time you're paying at the window, someone else is already handing you your order. I basically got a dipped cone & a sundae at the same time- which is pretty much off the menu & custom style, & they did not hesitate to do this for me. I got a vanilla as a chocolate-dipped cone, with hot fudge & cookie dough. Dee-lish! My husband got a banana pudding milkshake & it tastes just like what it says! Not only are they quick, they are also huge servings & are super affordable. We always get a small or even children's size. No sharing though! Plus why would you want to LOL. Downside for this location, they are cash only. read more
This place is amazing. It is cash only and the prices are extremely reasonable. Parking is limited and the lines start early. I tried to get the jump on the line on Sunday by getting their a few minutes before they opened............and as you can see, there was already quite a line. Got through in about 5 minutes so not at all bad. They have benches as well. I got a small chocolate cone for $2.60 (approx.) and I think it was well worth it. The taste kicked me back to childhood so i'll be very happy to support this business more moving forward. It was really yummy and I want to try more things as I go on. Also, customer service is good. They are very nice and answer any questions you may have. read more
I got the delicious hot fudge brownie waffle bowl with oreos added. Husband got the strawberry shortcake waffle bowl with pineapples added. Delicious but it was no hot fudge brownie waffle bowl with oreos. Kid 1 got the vanilla ice cream cone dipped in chocolate. She loved it. Kids 2 & 3 got strawberry ice cream cups. Borrowed kid got strawberry Sundae. I was so glad that the waffle bowls came in disposable bowls because it was pretty messy... Delicious but messy. read more
Let me just say that I hope they serve Dreamette ice cream in heaven. Especially the Honeymoon shake--it has vanilla ice cream, maraschino cherries, and pineapple. It is to die for. Dreamette's ice cream is so creamy, smooth, the right amount of sweetness, and a slice of heaven! No matter where you live in Jacksonville...you should try this ice cream place. Also, bring cash bc they don't take debit or credit cards. read more
