    Paletas

    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!

    Problem is you feel like getting yourself a 2nd double scoop, it is pretty good. And the bowls look delicious too.

    Dubai sundae

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Great small family owned business with a bunch of different flavors the arrange from Ube to mellow rocky and things from fruit bowls to ice cream to milkshakes all of it is amazing guanabana is amazing and does amazing The variety of ice creams and smoothies here is outstanding but when you walk in the employees ensure that you get a family welcome, instantly they make sure you know, you are welcome to try anything and they are more than happy to treat you! It's such a unique experience, very cute, clean and family friendly! **Quite literally the kindest people!

    Butter pecan

    Shoutout to this amazing venue!!! We got there 10 minutes before closing time and I was fast walking there for sure! We had time to sample some amazing flavors thanks to the friendly and welcoming manner of the wonderful man at the counter! This is such a fun place to get a tasty treat! We got a cherry waffle cone and a butter pecan waffle cone. These were so creamy and lusciously yummy!! I was filled all the way to the end tip of the cone and piled high! Wow! A great value and amazing service! I hope to come back to enjoy some more flavors!!!

    Food: 4.5....... Service: 4,5..... Ambiance 4.5.... Delicious and refreshing treats made with natural ingredients! We loved the fresh fruit flavors and appreciated the lower-calorie options. The taste is amazing, and we've already been back three times--it's that good!

    Kathryn T.

    Do you love rich, creamy, dreamy ice cream? Then you must head over to Guanabana! This was my first visit to their new store & the Ube flavor was calling my name. It was fantastic & I'm looking forward to trying so many of their other flavors. They have vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free options available which I always appreciate.

    Coconut Bowl
    Bethany R.

    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!

    Jaseng N.

    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!

The shop was completely empty when we arrived, so there was no reason for us to feel rushed. However, the employee hurried us through placing our orders. One person in our group was in the restroom and hadn't had a chance to decide what they wanted yet, and the employee was very short and impatient with us. When we asked to sample one of the ice cream flavors, she simply responded, "Okay," and came across as unfriendly and annoyed. While we were ordering, another customer came in, and we noticed the employee spoke to them with the same impatient attitude, so it didn't seem like it was just our group. The biggest issue came when the last person in our group ordered a sorbet. It was frozen so solid that it was impossible to scoop or eat. We let the employee know, and she said she would "soften it," which apparently meant microwaving it. She brought it back, but it was still hard as a rock and still wasn't edible. Unfortunately, the customer service overshadowed the visit. A friendly attitude and serving products that are ready to eat go a long way. We hope this location improves both its service and the quality of the experience for future customers.
