I'm impressed with their ice cream... fresh, creamy... quality that stands up in their basic flavors. I ordered Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches and love that they're made to order... those done right were excellent. Consistency is needed. My order was made by two different employees... one made perfect sandwiches with the right amount of ice cream, while the other made noticeably skimpy ones that didn't match the quality or the look of their advertised product. A bit more training is warranted... a simple fix... to be sure the end result is something they are proud of. Great product overall... just needs better execution. read more

This homemade ice cream spot not only is a huge blast from the past, but also makes some delicious desserts. First off, the retro decor and vibes are absolutely immaculate. It really feels like you're stepping back in time into an old school ice cream parlor. The place is spotless, and the staff are friendly, gladly offering up tastes of any of the treats. This is some of the best ice cream I've had in the area, and you can absolutely taste the freshness and the fact that they make it all right in the back of the shop. It's super creamy, not too sweet, with really pumped up and prominent flavors. Treat yourself to a scoop or two in this great spot, and you'll be glad you did! read more

Lily's Handmade Ice Cream - inside - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

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. read more

Lily's Handmade Ice Cream - one scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Hands down best ice cream in the area. It's creamy, flavorful and packed with toppings. Everytime I've been here, there's always been a steady flow of people but never a stagnent line. They're very efficient at getting everyone their ice cream asap. There's seating inside and a few tables outside. The tables were clean and comfortable. If you haven't tried their ice cream, I strongly urge you to visit. read more

I go to Lily's quite often. Feels like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. Most of the time, I am served by Michael. He is always kind, friendly and efficient. I have a mobility problem and he is most helpful. Oh, by the way, the ice cream is delicious! read more

Lily's was the last stop on my ice cream tour with my 9 year old. I had officially run out of room for ice cream, but my son said it wasn't possible for him. I did take a taste of the wolverine flavor, which was good but super sweet. And then the nice employee insisted i try the double espresso. So good- Ill get that next time! My son got a kiddie cup of mint chip with andies mints. He promised me he would only have a few bites since he was all sugared up, but apparently impossible to not eat an entire kiddie cup of ice cream this good. I noticed they are a kosher establishment, which is helpful for my relatives who keep kosher. I look forward to visiting Lily's with (and without) them in the future! read more

I had the sugar cone ($1.50 extra). I chose the mint chip, plenty of chips, and an also a scoop of vanilla with chunks of candy bars in it. DELICIOUS!! The young girl was very friendly, offering me a sample to try, if I'd like. Close to closing time, the other young man was busy cleaning. We enjoyed this visit again. We did pay for a pup cup. Half a scoop of ice cream and a squirt of whipped cream. It certainly kept our dog occupied. We sat outside and was provided with a water bowl. A must try ice cream store! read more

The flavors are delicious. I especially love the strawberry; feels like the fruit has been freshly squeezed into it for you. It's immaculate and the owners are very happy to have you delighted with what they prepare daily. read more

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. read more

Lily's Handmade Ice Cream - Coconut and chocolate/ Reese's - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Hey Foodies we just visited the best Ice cream in South Florida. It{s actually voted by sun sentinel as the best ice cream of south florida of 2024. And they are about to open 2 more locations in boynton beach and north Miami . This is Delrays local hand crafted ice cream shop. They use the finest ingredients and make delicious and unique flavors. Their dairy is locally sourced. They even have vegan and no sugar added versions and kosher. We started with their giant oreo filled with a cookies and cream ice cream. It was a dream. The ice cream was smooth and definitely something you get from a tub. You can tell its made with love. We also go their block buster sundae which has every candy you can imagine. It's a movie night in a cup with kinderlla ice cream, M/Ms Reese's pieces, hot fudge and whipped cream. The total indulgence you need during these hot south Florida months. read more

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. read more

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. read more

One of. My favorite ice cream shop. The flavors are original and and they make you feel like family

Came here for their famous sundaes. I ordered the OG Sundae but wanted to change the flavor of the ice cream. He said no changes allowed and had to get the create your own for $12. So he simply made the same sundae with the 2 different flavor ice creams and did not even ask me what toppings I wanted. To top it off they ran out of whipped cream which makes the whole sundae when you add the sprinkles. I was aggravated that an ice cream shop such as this one would run out of a staple item like whipped cream. Sort of like Starbucks running out of coffee. And it's not like there is not a Publix a minute away to purchase whipped cream. The ice cream was good but was to aggravated to enjoy the $14 sundae. The ambiance was typical of an ice cream shop. read more

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. read more

The best ice cream I have had in South Florida, so far. And I know a thing or two about ice cream. The vegan flavors are good too. Ice cream is based on quality ingredients, of course. But it has a lot to do with the amount of air blown in, the fat content, and the sugar. Too much air or too little fat, and the mouth feel is wrong. Too much sugar and it is too sweet. Lilly's gets it absolutely right. Rich flavor from the fat content, not too airy and just the right level of sweetness. It does not taste like the kiddie stuff in those big places with clown faces. This is the real deal. The server knew what she was doing and the owner was in back to answer questions. I urge you to come here. Support decent ice cream in South Florida and give your mouth a treat. read more

So many flavors to choose from! The ice cream was delicious and there was a great variety of toppings to choose from. The staff was very friendly and allowed me to try quite a few flavors before I landed on the Biscoff and banana ice cream and homemade cookies and cream. It was a bit expensive like most specialty ice cream shops, but I think that for the amount of ice cream we got it was worth the cost. Atmosphere is really great and reminds me of a retro diner. Really cute place for a date night or dessert after going to the restaurant next-door. read more

Stopped for dessert and really enjoyed the great flavor options of homemade ice cream. Also liked not a chain and natural ingredients

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

Amazing ice cream! We loved the Soflo Swamp and the Wolverine. Will definitely be back!

My sons and I stopped in on our way back to my family's house after an afternoon at the beach. I was looking for coffee but was excited to treat the boys to some hand made ice cream. We were greeted by a nice gentleman and given all the details about the treats. We ordered a dirt worm sundae and a cookie ice cream sandwich. The treats were so good there wasn't much for me to taste. We will definitely be back. Everything was high quality and packed with flavor. read more

First time customer today to Lily's Handmade Ice Cream and I will say without a doubt, I will definitely be back. As soon as I walked in the cleanliness of the place struck me and I felt very comfortable about eating there. I went over to the beautifully laid out counter and it really was a tough decision which ice cream to pick but I chose the peanut butter. I chose the cup size and then felt like splurging so I added hot fudge on top. Great idea!!! I actually was surprised at the cost of this delicious homemade ice cream because I always pay more at the franchise located across the street for the ice cream they get delivered in cartons. I chose a table, ate the most delicious ice cream ever and told Michael how impressed I was with it as he was busy behind the counter. Lily's puts their everything into this business! I was in awe learning how much they care. In this day and age it is rare to find real ice cream and real flavors but Lily's is the real deal!! I highly recommend it to everyone looking for REAL ice cream like you remember from your childhood and want for your own children and grandchildren. No fake stuff!! Treat yourself to the real deal!! The ice cream and the service are unbeatable!! I'm always looking at my calendar and planning when to go back. read more

Simply the best ice cream in Delray. Legendary establishment because of their legendary ice cream. A real treat!

I love the kinderalla ice cream it is amazing and my granddaughters love it!!! I totally recommend going!

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

Been a few times and it is always so good! Homemade ice cream here very delicious, and I am a huge ice cream fan so I have tried many places. Definitely check them out! Ps. They are one of the only places that have malt milkshakes anymore! read more

The best homemade ice cream! Great customer service. Our favorite in Delray! You have to try the kinderella!

Really cute ice cream store next to Poppies. If you're a fan of ice cream (vs gelato or custard), check this place out. In addition to vanilla and strawberry, they have quite a few unusual flavors to scoop, plus more varieties by the pint in the case along with ice cream sandwiches and cakes. The owner, Ron, was friendly and gave us tastes of several flavors. He mentioned his daughter, Lily, is the artist who painted the signs in the store - make sure to check out the mural in the bathroom! They make all the ice cream on premises and supply many local businesses. Even though this place has been here for several years, we just learned about it while shopping at Captain Clays! We ordered the pistachio and spumoni flavors. Both were delicious. As they had so many unusual flavors, I asked Ron about my favorite flavor: black sesame. He said they only make it for a local Asian restaurant, but before I left, he gave me a sample! It was great. Re: the vanilla ice cream: while its ingredients are incredible and well sourced, it tasted more like milk to me rather than the strong vanilla flavor I was hoping for. We will be back to try their sundaes. I read they make their hot fudge and whipped cream in-house! read more
