One of my go-tos for ice cream in Cville. Reasonably priced and lots of flavors! My favorites are passion fruit, guava, coconut, and tres leches. They have paletas (popsicles) too! Staff is always friendly! They have a few tables inside and one outside. There is a good amount of parking. read more

A perfect stop on a hot day, La Flor has basically every popsicle flavor you could think of at $3.25 each. I've always gone for the fruit-based ones and they always hit the spot, creamy and not too sweet. La Flor is a staple store in Charlottesville and is worth the stop if you have the time! read more

Still the best popsicles at the best prices. The range of flavors they offer is incredible for the quality they keep. I tried their strawberry cheesecake, which was the perfect blend of fresh strawberry puree and cream cheese. My friends had their passionfruit and pineapple flavors and loved it, so I'm looking forward to trying them next time around! read more

Hidden and aside village of Charlottesville, this place has it all! Some of the most delicious and authentic Mexican treats outside of Mexico! I also love the fact that there were all sorts of people here, families, regular folk, working souls, everybody was here and enjoying themselves. read more

I didn't drive to Charlottesville looking for Mexican ice cream, but the other places I considered were closed on the holiday I was here, so I gave it a shot. The majority of the numerous customers were ordering in Spanish, but the people working there were bilingual, and I was able to order a ludicrous banana split, wherein I received three choice flavors of ice cream topped with a sprinkling of walnuts and strawberry bits as well as enough whipped cream to make you wonder where any of that other stuff was. The ice cream flavors are distinctive, and I sampled a guava and a dulce de leche, both quite tasty, as well as my typical mint chip. It was an herbal slightly spearmint-y flavor that rounded everything off nicely. They offer several other items, and of note a decent fraction of their popsicles are dairy free, so you can get your cool Mexican fruit flavors on if you are a non-dairy person. When I arrived, I was a bit surprised the place was so busy, but it makes sense to me now. read more

stopped by this place after in search for a good icecream place that would hit the spot on a hot day in August. immediately when i entered it felt so festive with the colorfully painted walls, the pinatas hanging from the ceiling, and a variety of mexican candies and snacks. i got the oreo and the sour sop popsicle but wow it was so hard to choose based on so many flavors i couldnt pick one. my bf got icecream and they gave him a hefty scoop. i loved how they stuck an oreo right in the middle of the popsicle. it tasted exactly like cookie and cream and digging into the oreo was the best part. the sourop icecream had a faint sour taste to it, but didn't really taste much more than that. not sure if it captured the taste accurately, since i never tried the soursop fruit before, but i wanted to try this popsicle since i like to try sour stuff. there was a long line but the line went pretty quickly as people were getting as many as 5 or 6 popsicles! there is also seating outside, but i sat inside because i didn't want my popsicles to melt. overall, really unique store and definitely make it a point to come here especially in the summer months. i doubt you'll find something you won't wanna try! read more

Superrr yummy homemade popsicles! Was in Charlottesville to visit UVA, and this place came up when I searched up good dessert shops. There are so many good options to choose from, and they also have other desserts like flan. I ended up choosing the strawberry yogurt as the lady mentioned that the yogurt ones are popular. It was super yummy and affordable at $3 each. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area - hope to try other flavors if I go back! read more

This is a really cool place with a great selection of desserts, snack foods, prepared food, and of course their locally-famed popsicles! The popsicles here are worth all the hype. We came in on a hot July day and were very quickly served with two unique, creamy, and sweet popsicles. I loved the massive selection but was a bit overwhelmed so let me just tell you: get the Tres Leches! There are real pieces of their cake in the popsicles! It was incredible. This place also makes custom cakes, so consider here for your next event - especially kids birthday parties! I flipped through their booklet and saw a lot of cakes I would have loved as a kid. I cannot wait to head in soon to try some more flavors, and to hopefully try some of their ice cream and other desserts as well! read more

Excellent ice cream, enormous selection! The sign outside is tiny, so you could easily miss it... but don't because it is wonderful! read more

Best popsicles ever with a wide variety of flavors. They also serve ice cream which I've never tried but people in my family have enjoyed. You can also purchase snack foods there and I believe they serve some hot dishes as well. It's small inside with a few tables and some picnic tables outside. There is parking there. The service is friendly. Run and get a popsicle today! read more

I've never been to the actual store but I've had their popsicles multiple times before and they are amazing. I would highly recommend any of their fun flavors. read more

Great spot! Great for after park treat or anytime. Must try in C-Ville. We will definitely be back

What does one say about a place that serves eggnog ice cream year round? You say nothing. You get in your car and you drive there. You walk if you must. This place is amazing. The selection of popsicles will give you brain freeze. The ice cream flavors and diverse. The eggnog ice cream is never elusive. Pinatas provide faces to the voices in your head. There are raisins in the eggnog ice cream. I hate raisins. They are over-tanned grapes. Grapes are great. Why are you punishing them? Jerks. I will gladly eat near-frozen raisins to experience the creamy confection encasing them. I looked it up, ice cream is sometimes considered a confection. is the letter "Y" of confections. The people are so nice, too. I didn't even ask for samples today because I have arrived for the eggnog, but they are offering them to me just out of kindness. I've never tried the food or beverages. I've probably eaten a gallon of ice cream from them this year alone, dolled out in very generous scoops. The pic below is one scoop that I already ate some out of. This town is lucky to have this place. read more

THE BIG: The flower of Michoacan! I think. Mexican grocery store and ice cream shop! THE BLACK AND WHITE: The bae and I came here on her break from office hours and class. And since it was in the middle of the school day at 2pm, NO ONE was there. Walking in, you're greeted with a vibrancy of colors straight to your eyes. To your right, you get pinatas and to you left, you get the ice cream bar with soft serve or popsicles. There were so many selections of popsicles (many of them exotic). There was even a flavor called Tequila! I opted for the oreos and creme popsicle while the bae got the mixed fruit yogurt. Mine was definitely creamier and sweet and there was an entire oreo in the middle! I do have to say, the mixed fruit was better with its slight tangyness and health conscious berries. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, $4.22 for two popsicles that were definitely of the gourmet kind. It was really cool seeing how many flavors they had and will be back next time I'm in Charlottesville! read more

I got there on a Sunday and the ambience was festive, the ice-cream shaped tables were all filled with lunch plates and cheerful celebrators of someone's Birthday. Despite the crowd, service was still very friendly and patient. However, since we are following a no- added-sugar diet, our choice became poorly limited to strawberry or mango popsicles, which are truly ice pops as to their texture, and obviously "no sugar added" from the plain unsweetened taste. To be honest, those were the worst popsicles we ever had in our lifetimes! But to be fair, the place would be great if you don't mind sugar, as can be judged from the smiles on the other customers' faces... My sincere wishes are for them to enlarge the sugar free menu to at least include one ice cream flavor, and to improve the recipe of the sugar free popsicles! read more

Being in Fifeville on Cherry Avenue, we don't get here nearly enough. Not that this place isn't amazing, just on the complete other side of town. BUT....We were here Monday, and it was great! If you follow my reviews you know I have a thing for Oreo or Cookies and Cream. Walking in, my wife challenged me to find something different. Challenge Accepted. After trying everything (including Pineapple), I settled on Tequila. No, they do not have a speakeasy in the back. I was assured it was just the flavor. But it is a great flavor... I might have been swayed because it looked like chocolate chip... But I call that a win. The flavor wasn't a boozy tequila, it was a hair more than subtle. Mix the favor with the vanilla and a chocolate chip, you have a new experience. Of course I'll be back... Next time, Tres Leches Ice Cream! read more

Such a hidden gem! Voted the best ice cream in Virginia in 2019, you may not recognize it's greatness when looking at the Cherry Ave storefront. But once inside, it's a colorful dream. Dozens of flavors of homemade popsicles and frozen treats they make daily. Super affordable as well. Brings Mexican street ice cream to charlottesville.

I'm so thrilled that I discovered this adorable little shop! The food is delicious, and the service is fantastic!

Great popsicle and ice cream shop on Cherry Avenue. Popsicles are $3! I was overwhelmed by all the flavors that they had and was glad to have been able to test flavors. I got their mango popsicle and found it to be refreshing and not too sweet. It tasted like I was biting into a sweet, ripe mango. I'm looking forward to visiting again with friends when the weather warms up since it was very difficult to settle on just one flavor this time. There's also a couple of tables and seats indoors for you to enjoy your ice cream. read more

You must go! I finally found a place in Charlottesville that has delicious paletas. Paletas are a Mexican frozen treat made from fresh natural fruits such as strawberry and mango; they can be served with diary milk or without, and are refreshing in the hot summer months. I ordered the pina colada, mango with milk, soursop, and tequila (actually just mint and chocolate chips). Each was more incredible than the next, and molded with fresh fruit (cherries, mangos, pineapples). Yum! You can order in bulk too for picnics, bbqs, and other outdoor events. The staff is friendly and bilingual (Spanish/English). If you are interested in ordering, here is a basic script you can study in Spanish out of respect for the workers: Hola (Hello), me gustaria (I would like)... una paleta de mango (a mango paleta). Un churro tambien, gracias (a churro too, please). I will be returning soon! Gracias. read more

This is a super cute, little, Mexican ice cream place. They make their own ice cream AND their own popsicles, both dairy and non-dairy. Many unique flavors, especially of popsicles! Mine was strawberry, and it had big chunks of strawberry in it. One of our party got almond, cardamom, which didn't have as strong a cardamom flavor as I would have liked. Will be back to try more flavors! read more

No matter what the restaurant my family says no to the dessert menu and we high tail it to La Flor Michoarcana. Fresh ice cream with delightful flavors not usually found in your chain outlets. A Hugh selection of custom flavored popsicles, and where else could you find a baby shark Piniota, Mexican candy, Caribbean flavored home made popsicles or simple egg nog ice cream( my favorite). Go ahead! This place is not hard to find but anything else like it is a buried treasure. read more

I was staying at a hotel very close to La Flor Michoacana and decided to stop by on a Wednesday evening for a bit of dessert. The shop is located near a gas station and the exterior looks a little rundown, but inside everything is bright and colorful. There were several other customers there when I arrived, despite it being a weeknight, which was a good sign. I was immediately overwhelmed by all the popsicle options alone, despite having done "research" on Yelp and Instagram before going. I couldn't even look at the ice cream or any of the other menu items because it would've been too hard to pick what I wanted. I ultimately went with 2 popsicles--1 oreo and 1 blackberry cheesecake--although there were like 5 others I was seriously considering. In addition to popsicles and ice cream, it looked like they sold frozen bananas and shelf-stable snacks as well. I loved both the popsicles I got, but if I had to pick, I probably marginally preferred the cheesecake one. However, they were both super creamy and delicious. I accidentally came under the $5 minimum for credit card purchases, but the cashier let it slide, which was nice. There appeared to be a good amount of parking outside. This is definitely a hidden gem and worth visiting if you're in the area! read more

Little gem on Cherry Ave. The building does look worn on the outside, but the store is bright and vibrant once you enter. Friendly staff following COVID protocols that will make suggestions if asked.

They also sell flan and tres leches cake slices. read more

This ice cream was exactly what we needed to cool off after we went kayaking two days ago. Three out of the four of us got a scoop of the tree leches cake and all I can say is GET THIS FLAVOR. It is unlike any ice cream flavor I have tried before. I will 100% come back to get this soft serve again but would love to try the popsicles too. Love that there are authentic latin-inspired flavors. The portions are also super reasonable and the line moves quickly. Highly recommend!! read more

Great for a an inexpensive desert. I want to try very thing on the menu. Their ice cream bars are great. All home made and natural.

Super cheap homemade ice cream, how it should be! Raspberry Cheesecake was excellent, but I almost got Dulce de Leche after trying it.

One of my favorite go to ice cream places! I got a scoop of coconut ice cream and the vanilla Ferraro chocolate ice cream in a chocolate and peanut cone. The scoops are always so big, I find myself stuffed after eating the ice cream. The flavors were very refreshing and not too sweet - hit the right spot! The coconut ice cream is my go to because it has actual pieces of coconut in it and does not taste as artificial as most other coconut ice creams I have had. My sister got the Mangoneada - which is essentially a tall glass of mango ice cream mixed with mango pieces, tamarind sauce and a spicy tamarind straw - so delicious and refreshing especially on a hot and humid day like today. read more

Came here on a whim, as it came up on Yelp when I was searching for dessert places near my hotel. It did not disappoint! I got the guava ice cream in a cup, and it was delicious and, not to mention, an enormous portion. I would say they are probably $2-3 cheaper than most other ice cream shops for the same serving size. They also have a large variety of homemade popsicles and some baked desserts, as well as a small collection of snacks like others have mentioned. Don't let the modest (or sketchy, depending on time of day) appearance deter you! The people working there are nice and the ice cream was so good :) read more
