    Four scoops - peanut butter (fav), coffee, cherry vanilla, and cookies and cream.
    Stacy W.

    This is my fav ice cream spot in vb. It's located at the farmers market at dam neck and Princess Anne in the roundabout. Parking is simple as there are many spaces and the shop stays open pretty late, especially on Friday nights. My fav used to be the cookies and cream, but then I tried the peanut butter and I'm hooked. It's tastes like tiger butter fudge, if you know what that is. Service is always pleasant. The store is small, but cute. You can also buy milk and cheese as well. Oh and you can get milkshakes too. And you can get it with regular milk or chocolate milk! The last time I went, which was a few days ago, I got the strawberry ice cream blended into a milkshake with chocolate milk. The girl recommended it and said it tasted like a chocolate covered strawberry. She was right and it was delicious. Hopefully they have the peanut butter next time I go so I can do that with the chocolate milk milkshake!

    My boyfriend and I go around trying different ice cream places and rank them, this is a new number one. We got the cookies and cream and the butter pecan, we are cookies and cream lovers, but I will say the butter pecan could easily replace my chocolate, sweet tooth any day. It is so good. I will recommend to everybody and definitely be coming back.

    The ice cream served at Gillys Creamery is the best! The taste of the ice cream is rich, creamy and smooth. It really is quality! The staff is attentive and will ask questions so you get exactly what you like ! The place is organized and clean, they give plenty of napkins. I don't think I can eat ice cream anywhere else but Gillys , I am spoiled by this amazing, unique, super super creamy tasting ice cream! I love the location too. There are shops, a Farmers Market, and 2 bakeries nearby . Parking is plentiful, I never ever have an issue. Go to Gillys, you'll love this place!!!

    found this place on yelp and I'm glad I did. The service was solid and the ice cream was even better. I got a 4 scoop of the cookies n cream flavor and then the next day I got a 4 scoop of 2 cookies n cream & 2 brownie batter which was very good. Pretty good ice cream that I would definitely recommend and would be open to going back.

    Black forest. Yum!!

    I've stopped in to Gilly's a couple of times in the past year - but have usually walked out due to the sheer number of people waiting in line. Yesterday was the PERFECT day to stop in - right around 3:30 pm for an afternoon treat with our little one. We almost had 2nd thoughts about coming to the market. The small carnival is running right now - hoards of people were there, most with no masks and certainly not many observing masking protocols. But we found the market itself to be quiet and parked on the back side. There were only a couple of patrons inside Gilly's. The 2 young ladies working both donned masks correctly, were kind and welcoming to the family in front of us and to my family. They were patient while we browsed the menu and offered tastes of any of the flavors if we were interested. They have a variety of ice creams, but were out of sorbet today which slightly bummed me out. I hope they have some when we return, but omigoodness...the ice cream! I'm glad we each ordered the Little Gilly - they shoved at least 2 scoops into that little cup alone. It was impressive! For 2 Little Gilly's, it was about $6.50 and was more than enough for the 3 of us to share. I chose the Black Forest, which is vanilla base with chocolate cake and maraschino cherries while hubby ordered Peanut Butter Chip which was peanut butter ice cream with mini chocolate chips. Both were absolutely delicious - super creamy and packed with flavor! We were happy to enjoy our ice cream in the center of the market, where several picnic tables were available. I will definitely return during these warmer months for a sweet treat!

    Walked into friendly, cute, and country. Great old fashioned, homemade, and delicious ice cream. Wonderful selection of flavors. My sister and I were staring at the list when a little girl and her mom were leaving. This little girl was so impressed with the ice cream that as she was walking out she said " I just had the chocolate caramel and I HIGHLY recommend getting that." I was so surprised getting a recommendation from such a little girl and with such an enthusiastic endorsement THAT is EXACTLY what I got and yes it was AMAZING!!!!!!! My sister got the red velvet cake cheesecake ice cream with snickers sprinkles . If you could have seen our reaction to our first bites. You would have thought we both won the lottery at the same time. Her ice cream was made from real fluffy cake. Next time when I go I'm going to have a hard time deciding what to get. IT IS THAT GOOD. Do not get the waffle cone it is store bought and not homemade. That was my only negative

    During a recent Yelp conversation amongst friends, we were discussing favorite spots in the Southside to go for ice cream considering we're in the hot summer. One of my friends brought up Gilly's which is located at a farmers market. Since I've been venturing out to local ice cream joints for the past month (and earning a Yelp badge for that adventure), why not check out a hidden gem on a sunny day??!! Once my girlfriend and I pulled in, I was immediately won over. The farmers market is surrounded with everything you want locally: ice cream, fruits, vegetables and a butchers place among them. Due to the weather being kind of hot, we just decided to grab ice cream and head back to the car. I picked two scoops of S'mores ice cream, which consists of graham crackers, chocolate chips and marshmallows mixed in with vanilla ice cream on a waffle bowl (don't laugh, but this is my very first time having a waffle bowl) and my girlfriend picked two scoops of Coconut ice cream in a waffle cone (sadly, not pictured, but she enjoyed it). A winner indeed!! With all the ingredients mixed together, it truly reminded you of when you're at a campfire eating s'mores, except you don't have the taste of burnt marshmallows right from the pit.....LOL!! This ice cream was thick and bursting with flavor. And including actual marshmallow pieces.....say no more!! I can say it was a nice choice having this in a waffle bowl which reduced the chances of getting your clothes messy. Since I didn't eat anything all morning, this dessert was gone in 15 minutes. Overall, a very good treat. This will be a repeat. And hopefully, once the weather cools down, my girlfriend and I may walk around and check out the market stores.

    This shop is at the farmers market in Virginia Beach. The red velvet cheesecake ice cream takes me back when I was a kid at birthday parties. We always took a spoon of cake and ice cream and ate it together. It was like ice cream and cake at the same time. I will love to try something else when I go again. The waffle cone could have been a little thinner and needs to be kept fresher. The ice cream was great. The server does not skimp on the ice cream. You will be satisfied when you sit down and eat.

    I did a quick Google search for a ice cream place that we could go to after dinner and this place…read morepopped up the reviews are pretty good so we decided to go here to get some ice cream for the girls and my husband wanted a chocolate milkshake. We arrived within 10 minutes from leaving the restaurant and the parking lot was pretty much empty even though we visited during Friday in January I didn't expect it to be too busy but not a single car in a parking lot was definitely unexpected, we should have left... Nevertheless, we walked up to the service window the service was pretty quick and straight to the point the ambience not much going on ... This is mainly an outdoor Eatery as a result due to the cold temperatures around 30° we were not going to sit outside to enjoy the ambience but it seems like it's a cute atmosphere when the weather is permitting. Overall our visit was just blah. I had the mint chip ice cream my daughter had vanilla ice cream with sprinkles and my husband the chocolate milkshake and we all were disappointed I guess we've tried other ice cream parlors and based on this location and reviews our expectations were a bit higher and we were all disappointed. Nevertheless I will more than likely stick to what we know but you can definitely try at your own risk again looking at some of the reviews some people do enjoy coming here but have fun and enjoy life

    I love Get Lost it's such a good sweet treat spot…read more Their Hawaiian shave ice is SO good and they have a ton of flavors to choose from. Tropical to sugary flavors; Dragon fruit to bubble gum. My personal favorite is the Float On which is root beer float inspired with vanilla icecream and it's seriously amazing. They put vanilla ice cream in the middle, shaved ice packed with flavor, and then top it with their house-made whipped cream. It just makes it perfect. The ice cream is delicious, the syrups are flavorful, and you can tell everything is made with care. As far as seating, it's a small spot. Inside where you order, there's only a tiny bit of seating so it's not really somewhere you go to sit for a long time. Most people order at the walk-up window and wait for their name to be called. They do have picnic tables outside if you want to sit out on a nice sunny day. And right beside it, there's an attached space with additional seating if you want to be somewhere a little more covered or out of the weather. It's perfect in the summer, but I also love that they stay open in the winter. They usually do buy-one-get-one free Fridays during the winter, which is such a nice bonus. And the customer service is always really good too friendly and welcoming every time I go. Definitely recommend if you're in Virginia Beach and craving something sweet and refreshing!
