I was doing a "summer series" where I sampled mint chocolate ice cream flavors across Jax. Guanabana makes such good quality ice cream but I also love their unique flavors. I saw they had a new Queso com Bocadillo (cheese & guava) flavor as I was getting my Mint Chip, so I knew I had to come back for it. And I loved it - the salty bits of cheese paired with the guava and the creaminess of their ice cream was an excellent combination! The staff is always friendly & offers samples of any flavor you want to try. I absolutely love the gorgeous wall mural by Nicosuavalicious. It makes a great backdrop for social media photos. read more

We went to Guanabana over the week for some ice cream and we loved it! We ordered a chocolate dipped cone with mint ice cream (bottom) and taro (top). Let's start with the cone - we originally thought the cone would be the size in display and were we surprised. Double the size of the display cone! The ice cream tastes very good, I enjoyed both flavors, they werent artificial tasting taro and mint, we enjoyed this. The place has a very healthy vibe, a lot of green inside. The employees were very nice, I forgot the dudes name but was very welcoming. read more

Stopped in here for the first time. I had only previously been to their food truck. The business was sparkling clean and the decor and murals are both beautiful and inviting. I arrived 5 minutes before they closed and they were gracious enough to still take my order. I ordered the Strawberry, Blueberry and raspberry smoothie and then a pineapple, papaya, strawberry smoothie. Both were extremely well blended, smooth and tasted delicious. I'll definitely be back to try the ice cream at some point. read more

Went on a random rainy afternoon when in the area for the kids. Greeted promptly, bright and clean inside. Large offering of smoothies, ice pops, and ice cream along with a special Dubai cup. My daughter made up her own smoothie with an assortment of fruits, fresh and delicious. My friends daughter had the Dubai cup. Fresh strawberries, good flavor. Definitely would try again. Prices around average for smoothie places, with the Dubai cup being trendy and somewhat overpriced like most places. read more

We found this spot as we got in the car from having dinner in the area and decided to give it a try. I have to tell ya, we were super impressed, everything was super clean they have tables and chairs inside and outside to enjoy your tasty treats. The staff were fast and great! We tried a death by chocolate ice cream it has chocolate syrup with brownies, and chocolate ice cream! It was amazing! We also had a Cholada it was passion fruit and Strawberry gelato with fresh fruits and topped with condensed milk (my favorite). All of the desserts looked amazing! I will definitely come back and try their ice pops! read more

Really cute place to get ice cream, shakes and açaí bowls. They have some really unusual flavors and desserts and it was hard to chose because they all look good. I ended up getting the Dubai sundae and it was fantastic. Service was friendly and helpful, explaining the different menu items. I need to come back and I'll bring my husband this time as I know he'll love it. read more

Guanabana - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

A tropical ice cream spot with a lot of charm and potential. They specialize in creamy, fruit-forward frozen desserts, not sorbet -- the texture is surprisingly rich and almost stretchy, similar to Turkish dondurma. It's not what you'd expect if you're thinking icy or tart, but it's enjoyable if you're in the mood for something creamy and tropical. I tried the blackberry and mango flavors -- both were flavorful and refreshing without being overly sweet. They offer a wide range of unique tropical fruit options, which is great for adventurous palates. The space is clean and large, with plenty of indoor seating, and the location feels like it's in a growing, up-and-coming area. They're clearly popular -- there was a long line on a Sunday afternoon, and the vibe was lively. That said, order handling could use work. Orders aren't packed in sequence, so larger or more complex orders may come out slower -- and unfortunately, some items were already melting by the time we received everything, while others who ordered after us were already walking out. It seems like they're understaffed and doing their best, but the system doesn't scale well during rushes. It's understandable, but a challenge if you're trying to take your treats home. Still worth checking out if you're a fan of tropical flavors and want to support a local spot -- just be prepared for a wait during peak hours and eat your ice cream quick! read more

Thrilled to see GUANABANA open a gorgeously painted brick-and-mortar location! Their incredible treats and consistently bubbly customer service have been a staple in Jax year after year. These cold creations have definitely helped me survive some of the hottest days in town. No one deserves this success more than they do, and I couldn't be prouder. Wishing them all the best as they continue to grow! Gate Parkway is the perfect spot for this sweet addition--plus, it's dangerously close to my gym (and other great spots like V Pizza and Foxtail Coffee). Safe to say I'll be making plenty of post-TitanUp Fitness stops. Hoping they have a points system so I can start racking them up! I stuck with my go-to from their food truck at RAM (which they'll still be running): The Cholado--a drool-worthy mix of two house-made sorbets, fresh sliced fruit, and a hefty drizzle of sweetened condensed milk. Absolute perfection. Their hours are 10 AM to 10 PM, so be sure to swing by and show this local biz some love this Valentine's season! @hey9oh4 approved with flying colors! read more

Convenient location with free on site parking close to the town center and IKEA on gate Parkway. The store was pretty quiet at the end of the workday. We will promptly attended to and ordered our smoothies to go! I have a sneaky feeling that they will get busier as they become more popular. They recently opened and had a food truck before the brick and mortar store. We waited about two minutes and were happy to receive our smoothies. They tasted great. They use fresh fruit in their preparation. We will try to go back to sample the ice cream offerings. read more

I got a fruit bowl with the coconut base and added strawberries and bananas. The base was nice and creamy with a string coconut flavor. It wasn't too sweet and the fruit was very fresh. We also got an acai bowl that was also delicious. Last we got the #13 which was a smoothie with strawberry, guava, and pineapple. The smoothie was blended well but tasted really watery and only tasted faintly of strawberry. Overall a good experience and I'll be stopping in another time to try the ice pops! read more

This place is a must try! The atmosphere is amazing and the service is great! My friend and I stumbled across this place when the cafe next door was full and were pleasantly surprised. We got the smoothies and you can tell it's freshly made. The bathrooms and common areas are clean as well. My friend went back another day and got their açaí bowl and said it was 10/10, fruity, smooth açaí, and refreshing especially in this hot weather! The portion size was also really good for the price. Definitely coming back! read more

200 out of 10!! Fabulous and the freshness of the products makes it even better. I love the tropical flavors and the unique and original twist to some traditional colombian products, like their version of Cholado. They make with refreshing sorbet, that enhances the flavor of the fruit!!. The Latin style fruit bowl is yummy!!. I can tell the quality of the ice cream is better than any other I have tried. Will keep coming to this place read more

I ordered the guanabana sundae and it was so amazing. It had to have been one the BEST sundaes/ ice cream I have ever had. As for the service it was just as well as the ice cream. Our server was so nice and kind and he even speaked Spanish so we could also speak it. It was a relaxing ambiance inside with a big painting on the wall and some chairs with a nice little calm atmosphere. read more

FRESH & FLAVORFUL. Whether you're getting ice cream, a fruit bowl, or a mix of both, Guanabana has all the flavors you need with fresh made ice cream and fruit, chopped to order. The service is amazing. Always very friendly & fast. You can vibe inside or outside, by yourself or with friends. It's really a great solo date, couples date, or even a family outing. read more

I have been following this place since they were at RAM and the orange park farmers market. They always have a delicious selection and my go to is ALWAYS the cholado which is SO GOOD. It has chopped fruit condensed milk and their new version has a delicious passion fruit sorbet. It makes you feel healthy even though it is still ice cream. read more

**Yelp Review:** (1/5) I really wanted to like Guanabanana in Jacksonville, but unfortunately, it was a total disappointment. I stopped in for some ice cream and shakes, and honestly, both were pretty lackluster for the steep prices. First off, the ice cream - I expected something rich and creamy, but it was just okay. Nothing special, and definitely not worth what I paid for it. The shakes were similarly underwhelming- $10 for a shake and roughly $14 for a mangonado!!!! For the price, I really expected something more exciting or at least high quality. I'm all for treating myself now and then, but I don't feel like I got my money's worth here. There are better, more affordable places in Jacksonville for a sweet treat. read more

This place is so fresh and so good!! But they do have a fabulous banana split in a cup!! High quality!

I love everything they have. Today, I got the smoothie #8 and a strawberry mango smoothie for my auntie

Got an Acai bowl at Riverside Arts Market last weekend. I love these, I'm a big connoisseur of the acai bowl ever since I first had one in California many years ago. When you get a good one, it's a pretty amazing treat, especially on a hot summer day. I've had a smoothie from the Guanabana truck before, and it was very tasty. Unfortunately, I wasn't too pleased with this bowl. As you can see in the picture, it's mostly granola and very little smoothie. For a price tag of nearly $12, this was not worth it. It was a disappointment. If I go back to this truck, I'll be sticking to smoothies or maybe try a popsicle next time. read more

As part of a food truck event I spotted Guanabana and I thought that they may have some relatively healthy options. Smoothies and açaí bowls were on the menu next to their ice pops, ice cream, milkshakes, and lemonade. I ordered a pineapple coconut shake for $6. They mentioned that aside from their guanabana (soursop) smoothie and the banana, peanut butter, and chocolate smoothie, which are made with milk, the remainder of the ones on the list consist of just fruit. The first two sips were cold and refreshing, with an overwhelmingly pineapple taste. Although I could taste coconut flakes, the coconut flavor got lost in the mix. After a few sips, it just tasted icy. Given the lack of sweetness and the watered down taste, I don't think that the value was there. Perhaps adding another fruit such as strawberries or mangos would've helped the flavor. For a smoothie, I'll stick to a few places that I know make them fresh and well with higher quality at lower prices. Perhaps I'll try this truck again for an ice pop or for their award winning dessert. read more

Finally finished all my popsicles from the Food Truck Rally after Hurricane Matthew! I've gone to Guanabana before when they had a cooler tricycle and now they have an actual food truck and are offering more than just pops such as smoothies, macaron ice cream sandwiches, and fruit salads. I was overwhelmed. I just came for pops and decided I'll try the other stuff another time. I got 4 kinds: Raspberry Lemonade, Hawaii, Mango Raspberry, Passionfruit. Not a bad pop in the bunch. These were really good and I will be back for more. read more

Favorite Popsicles in town! All the flavors are soo fresh and delicious! My favorite is the passion fruit. It takes exactly like the passion fruit juice that my Hispanic mother in law makes. Soo delicious. The Columbian coffee is also amazing! And they'll chocolate dip any PPP for $1. Chocolate covered Columbian coffee popsicle - duh. That's a no brainer!! The owner has a cooler on a bicycle and is always at all the major events around town. It's a smaller operation, and not a huge truck like some others around, but the taste is definitely up to par, if not better, so look for them! You will be pleased. read more

We went to the food truck event today (9/16/17) and tried the soursop smoothie and strawberry fruit popsicle. O-M-G . That soursop tastes just like the fruit (probably because they use real fruits.) Soursop is one of my favorite fruits and it's super hard to find in Jax. I've been waiting to go to Vietnam just so I can eat a bunch of these, but now I can just have them in a smoothie. Definitely hit the spot! My hubby had the strawberry popsicle, he said it wasn't sweet enough and was harder than he would have liked. Also too expensive for ONE popsicle. read more

Love, love, love these popcicles. Out of all the mobile-popcicle businesses we have in Jax, Guanabana is by far my favorite. Mostly because they have peanut butter flavor which is a dream com true. The people are really nice and appreciative of feedback -- so tell them what was good and what wasn't (but they're all good!). I recently read that they sell these in Fernandina now at the little cuban cafe. These popcicles are perfectly sweet, but not too sweet and the texture is outstanding! Soft enough to bite into without breaking a tooth. Whether I'm at Art Walk RAM, whenever I see Guanabana, I stop in my tracks and buy one! read more

He did it well. I really liked their popsicles. There's not much to say about the truck cause it's a cooler box connected to a bicycle. It reminded me of the old good humor bikes that used to roam the streets of New York City. But, this guy has some yummy pops. I had the mango hibiscus pop and it was quite yummy. It has really good flavors and you could really taste all of the flavors. I will get some more of these pops when I see him out. read more

Guanabana Artisan Ice Pops IS a God Send! They were a beacon of light when at Welcome to Rockville festival this past weekend. Within the event, I quickly realized we were shepherded to buy and drink Coca Cola products ONLY with NO other alternative to the consciously aware of health and the agenda behind major corporations.. As you know, Coca cola products are filled with chemicals that induce dehydration and break down your system especially in the heat.... Pretty disturbing right? God answered my prayer when I seen a little cooler with a green awning tucked away on the side lines selling for what I seen as GOLD! I bought their artisan pops THE WHOLE event for both days, worth every penny, kept me alive. I felt the love in their SUPER delicious REAL FRUIT pops. Thank you! :3 read more
