one scoop
Priya R.

Highly recommend getting a topping here! They really load it up so you get a bite of the topping with eat bite! I tried their seasonal Ube flavor. I tried a few other flavors that were also amazing but I only wanted one scoop. I wish they would allow half scoops or 1 scoop with 2 flavors, so I could have both flavors I really enjoyed. The ice cream was very rich and flavorful and they have a lot of great flavor options.

This is our favorite ice cream in the area. Their ice cream is homemade and very fresh. They have fun flavors and toppings to choose from. I love their cookies and cream. It actually looks like chocolate ice cream because of the chocolate on the Oreos getting mixed with the vanilla ice cream. It's definitely the most Oreo-y cookies and cream I have ever had. They actually provide ice cream to a lot of local restaurants as well, which is very cool.

Delicious! Lily's has fabulously creamy ice cream. They do have a sugar free vanilla for those who need it but I'm speaking about the other flavors -- incredible. I like that they don't just have the "normal" flavors - they have many creative concoctions! Price is about the same as other places - they're all a little high these days. However - the girl who served us allowed us to have, what seemed like, 1 million tastes before deciding on a flavor! She was darling and very obliging. Parking is plentiful - - I'll be back!

After a nice dinner, we were looking for a dessert place. I saw the handmade ice cream and was intrigued. The place has got the old time feel of a soda shop from the past. They have some interesting flavors and everything is kosher (even the gummies are, which is unusual). They have some vegan ice creams, too, though none were available for a scoop when we visited. But, you could buy a pint if you wanted. We wound up getting a couple of flavors and shared. It was a great find. Best in south Florida? That's a lofty claim they have on the wall, based on a local news article. Probably not. But it was really good. Nice find.

10/10!!!!!! Lots of good interesting flavors. Dusty monkey and soflo swamp are AMAZING. Need to go back again already. Scoops are decent sizes.

Coconut and chocolate/ Reese's

The hotter it gets the more you'll love this place. You'll always want another scoop. They can do no wrong. Anything chocolate or with brownies or with nuts or with cherries so some nostalgic flashback that you forgot about like banana pudding or creamsicle. All of it is good. I've normally visit late night and there is always a crowd. People are friendly and service is warm And helpful. If you are between flavors just take a pint to go and a cone or ice cream sandwich for the ride home.

Their best seller one scoop Florida swamp

A bright and colorful shop you can't help but instantly be in a good mood when you walk in. The ice cream itself is pretty average and so are the flavor creations. I wish the folks working there reflected the vibe of the place. I tried to bring a smile to the guys face but no luck. A best seller is chocolate with chocolate chips and Oreo (Florida swamp - not sure how the name fits). It's good but nothing to rave about. My dad had a cookie dough one and it came with cake batter ice cream, it was an odd flavor combo. I wish their toppings were displayed clearer, they are in small jars behind a glass with other things in the way. Ample seating, a bit pricey, and ok ice cream. Not sure I'll return as there are many other places to try around here but it'll do if you're in the mood for ice cream and are nearby.

We weren't brave enough to try it. You?

First, I love that we were greeted with a smile when we came in. I was not disappointed with the original flavor mixes they have here. They ran out of sampling spoons, though, and we couldn't try the Ube before we ordered. Seems like they could easily have used the regular sized spoons, but apparently that's not allowed. The two people working were super nice and helped us quickly. I'm sure they are doing the best they can under the circumstances. When I wanted a dopio, she said they're out of cream. When I asked for a small drop of vanilla ice cream, she had to give me a full scoop & charge me for it. The cafe is too cute though, and it looks like it's a local favorite. I get it, but these little things seem petty when I'm paying $5 and scoop. That being said, the quality of this ice cream is smooth and creamy. The flavors are NOT very strong, but they're unique and tasty.

Lily's Handmade Ice Cream is some of the best ice cream I've ever had. They offer a variety of flavors for every sweet tooth. The ice cream server eagerly provided us samples of at least half of their flavors, one better than the other. The South Florida Swamp is probably my favorite. I know vanilla is boring, but theirs is great. Lily's services many local businesses. It has a 1950's diner vibe with a few tables inside and out and a take out refrigerator.

Ice cream is good, but I must've mistaken it for another place. Very nice ambience. The ice cream tasted very good.

The ice cream is good and it's kosher which must meanfor the enormous bill for a shake and a small cup.

Pure sugar chaos, childhood nostalgia, and theatrical madness in Coral Springs…read more Walking into Cherry Smash feels like you accidentally stepped into the opening scene of Willy Wonka, right before someone starts singing and a child learns a moral lesson. This place is a local legend, and for good reason. Cherry Smash isn't trying to be sleek, minimalist, or Instagram-neutral. It's loud, colorful, joyful, and slightly unhinged--in the way candy shops should be. You half expect Charlie Bucket to walk in clutching a chocolate bar and a dream. Let's be honest about the ice cream: It's above average. Solid. Creamy. Well executed. No complaints. But that's not why people line up. You come here for the atmosphere. Walls stacked with candy. Colors everywhere. The kind of visual overload that makes adults nostalgic and kids vibrate at unsafe frequencies. And when Halloween hits? Forget it. Cherry Smash decorates like they take October personally. Seasonal commitment at Broadway-production levels. The candy selection is elite--classic, modern, obscure, and delightfully questionable. Yes, they have bubble gum cigarettes, which feel like a time capsule from an era when adults shrugged and said, "Eh, they'll be fine." It's kitschy, it's ridiculous, and it absolutely belongs here. Seating is limited, but honestly? That's part of the charm. This isn't a linger-for-hours café. It's a pop-in, light-up-your-inner-child, grab-something-sweet-and-go experience. The kind of place where standing is acceptable because you're too busy smiling anyway. Cherry Smash isn't just an ice cream shop--it's a mood, a memory, and a permission slip to enjoy something unapologetically fun in a world that desperately needs more of that.

Honestly, I wasn't much of a fan. Parking can be a little…read moretricky, there is a parking lot, but it's shared by all the merchants in the plaza. You have the option to order at the window outside, or, go into the shop to order. The moment you walk in, it very very overwhelming. Tons of trinkets, posters, colors, signs and memorabilia's and figurines everywhere! The more you look, the more you'll see. Staff seemed like they were there just for their paychecks, and not really caring for the customer service or offering their opinion or recommendations, the night we visited there was a good amount of patrons. There's seating off the right side of the shop and a few towards the back. They have a very wide selection of ice cream flavors. I settled for a dulce deleche, and it was just ok. We ordered that, and I took some pictures and left. The interior was too much for me, personally. Way too much going on.

We had a large party of 18 and the waiter and his team took good care of us. The only complaint was the noise level. I could talk to the people next to me but not those across the table.

The weather was perfect, and they had a beautiful table set for us. They even sprinkled "Happy Birthday" decorations on the table, which was such a thoughtful touch! We started with drinks (Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc for me, Grey Goose martini for my husband). Service was a bit slow at first--drinks and bread took a while--but honestly, we didn't mind much since we were just enjoying being together. For food, we had the Caesar salad with anchovies and croutons on the side (really good), Chicken Peter, lobster ravioli (delicious), and penne alla vodka. Everything was flavorful, and the portions were just right for sharing. For dessert, they asked what I wanted and my family ordered cheesecake. It came out with a big sparkler and they sang Happy Birthday, which I absolutely loved--such a fun and festive moment! The only small downside was that the dessert isn't complimentary, which felt a little unusual for a birthday celebration, but it didn't take away from the experience. Overall, it's definitely on the pricier side, but perfect for special occasions. I'd happily come back again to celebrate! And don't forget they have complimentary valet parking, so all you need is a tip!
