The secret is out. This place is great. So many amazing flavors. Highly recommend cappuccino crunch!! Staff is doing a great job slinging scoops, but be patient it can get busy for them. Will be back again and again. read more

Great ice cream selection! They even had a few dairy free options if you need it. Great ice cream, cute place in a strip mall

The best ice cream I have ever had! The cappuccino crunch is my favorite while banana pudding is another household fave!

Some of the best ice cream I've ever had they have a lot of stuff that you will enjoy. Jim

REAL SUPERMAN ICECREAM plus chocolate dipped cheesecake and also SHAVED ICE! It's a heaven sent menu and the nicest workers!

Great place. Everything we had was awesome. Plenty of flavors. Servers were super nice and they let you try any flavor before you order.

Some of the best ice cream around, we were visiting and went three days in a row, it's a cool little place with a great selection of ice cream, pretty sure they had at least three different brands with week over 30 flavors. Service is excellent, we had three different workers but they were all very nice and made great shakes. Great place. read more

Amazing ice cream! Service was great, everybody was very friendly. Lots of room to sit and also the hook and ring toss game near the bathroom was fun too! read more

This was the best ice cream I've had in a while! They had a variety of flavors and the ice cream was soft enough to eat immediately after serving. The waffle cone was delicious and they were generous with their scoops! Seems like a very cute place for a date. read more

This was a fun stop while visiting my parents. They even have each ice cream that is Gluten Free labeled. This is great because although most ice cream should be gluten free it is not always obvious. The place was cute and clean. The portion sizes are large and it is best to split if you just want a little snack. This place is great and I am really looking forward to going back during our next visit. read more

I loved it! The ice cream is delicious and they have lots of unique flavors. I got the bourbon caramel, my grandpa got the honey roasted peanut butter, and my grandma got their flavor of the month, the loaded candy bar. The staff was so kind and the 50s theme is so cute! They even have a jukebox and other cool vintage relics. You won't regret coming read more

Made In The Shade - Bourbon Carmel Ice cream with whipped cream in a waffle bowl - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Englewood, Florida

If you're looking for good hard scoop ice cream this is your place! Amazing choices for flavors and reasonably priced. It is a good go to after a day on the water. read more

Spacious ice cream place with an abundance of flavor choices and cone options. The waffle cones made fresh in-house are delicious. With a 50's vibe, there is indoor seating, but only a few Adirondack chairs on the small sidewalk out front. Made in the Shade may be difficult to find - just pull into Fedora Plaza across 776 from The End Zone and it will be right in front of you. They also may have other offerings such as chocolate covered cheesecake slices, cotton candy (which they can make into a bowl for your ice cream), and snow cones. This is my "go to" ice cream shop in Englewood! read more

Best & most delish ice cream. Daughter enjoyed the cotton candy bowl! We will drive all the way from Michigan just for this place. Definitely helps when the owner was super sweet & helpful (and patient with my indecisiveness) read more

The ice cream here was good, and milkshakes were great, All around pretty decent. Prices are fair. Did not get the best service from Adriella she was very rude and disrespectful, Kenzie on the other hand was a lot more nice and respectful. The ambience of the store is old-fashioned pretty cool has games and a busty pin ball machine. read more

Try the hurricane. Amazing and delicious. Sundaes were good too. Stire was clean,staff friendly

Delicious! What a find! The ice cream is homemade and the flavors are very unique. The staff is very friendly, kind, and helpful. The service was very fast. Parking was free and easy. read more

This small ice cream shop has some generic brands - Blue Bell and Hershey's, but also sells about a dozen varieties from a local supplier from Sarasota that is some of the best ice cream I've ever had. The prices were also reasonable - two single scoops was about $7.50. They also sell a variety of sodas, including Virgil's, which is arguably the best root beer in the market. This has quickly jumped to our family's favorite ice cream shop in the area and we'll be back! I also liked how the staff did not wear masks - they don't do anything to stop community spread of Covid. What could make it better? More ice cream varieties from the local supplier, and pre-made pints & quarts to go. But those are fairly small things. read more

Yummy ice cream. Friendly and good customer service. My favorite ice cream place. Our go to spot.

Great service, delicious ice cream, clean space. Just what I needed after a day at the beach. read more

Love this little ice cream shop. An elderly gentlemen invited us here one night in 2019 and we have been back consistently ever since. Great ice cream and abundance of toppings. The owners are so kind and know our orders by heart now! I love being called a regular of Made in the Shade! read more

Some of the best ice cream you'll ever get. I try to go as often as possible. The only problem here is you always leave with extra pounds on you. read more

Ice cream was delicious, and the girl at the counter was very sweet. The inside is very spacious and cute.

We drove up from Fort Myers one day to try out the Englewood beaches and craved ice cream when we got in the hot car to drive back to Fort Myers. We noticed several options on the road out of town but decided to try this one. It is just a little hole in the wall that I fear may not gain the attention they need but it was just as nice as could be and so were the owners/operators. They had a very large selection of flavors, toppings and other options. The place was squeaky clean and adorably decorated. We will definitely be back in next trip to the area! read more

Ice Cream so good it will make you SCREAM!!! We were wrapping up dinner at a local establishment when the obligatory 'would you like dessert' question was popped. We don't like paying $12 for dessert - so we politely declined and the youngest said - "Is there an ice cream place nearby?" "Yes!!!" said our waitress, with more enthusiasm than she probably should have, "There is a new one open - Made in the Shade! Just up the road" Off we went, concerned that we would miss the 9 PM closing time, but made it with 2 minutes to spare. We were greeted by a flamingo pink OPEN sign and a few late night patrons. An old timey juke box greets you as soon as you enter the door - (my favorite classic was Dreamin) but the highlight was the ice cream. The owners have done a fantastic job of blending standard favorites with some crazy creative flavors - My favorite being Caromocha - think sea salt caramel ribboned through mocha chocolate. Yes it's as good as it sounds!!! But the peice de resistance is their multispledorabulous array of cookie dough!!!! My kids must have sampled 7 different types of combinations. I won't tell you all of them - sample them yourself!!! The owners love their craft - you can tell in their voice and their enthusiasm - even though it was past closing time. 1 Scoop Waffle Cone, 1 Scoop cup, 2 Scoop cup - a little over $10 - best bang for the buck in Englewood!!! And a perfect way to end a spring night in Florida.... read more

Awesome selection of Hershey's ice cream with home made waffle cones! Delicious! There is seating available inside with a few benches outside as well. Located in a strip. Be careful turning in from the highway. read more

A MUST stop ice cream shop! We visit the Englewood area every year and found this gem in July (in the middle of Covid) and came again in January. Very clean and conscientious of the pandemic, all while being super friendly and kind! We have 4 small children and they BEG to come the this ice cream shop daily on vacation! They go above and beyond helping the kids get the jukebox playing some of our favorite Elvis songs, all while serving generous portions of our favorite ice cream (along with some new favorites!)!! Stop and support a small business! They are wonderful!! read more

I'm so glad my daughter and I stopped in here tonight! I was looking for a place that was close to us and saw that this was relatively new. (about a year) It has an, "Old World" feel to it. We loved the free jukebox loaded with 45's from the 50's and 60's! The sundaes were delicious! My daughter had a brownie sundae and I had a peanut butter parfait. Mine had tiny Nutter Butter cookies in it along with chocolate, marshmallow, and peanut butter topping! The peanut butter ice cream was really great! Peanut butter flavored ice cream with peanut butter laced through it. Yes, I love peanut butter! The owners couldn't have been nicer or friendlier. I'll be back! read more

Absolutely love this place. Great selection of ice cream. Inventive concoctions. An interesting soda and candy selection. The old working free jukebox and 50's vibe is an added plus. The owners, Mike & Rebecca, are very friendly too. My personal favorite is graham cracker ice cream on the homemade chocolate waffle cone, dipped in chocolate. Seriously the best! You will not be disappointed! read more

Fun, clean, friendly and unique. Easy parking and tons of sweet options. My family enjoyed our ice cream and the unique items on display along with the working antique juke box. read more

We are local and are full-time resident in Englewood so we get to stop by this place at least 2-3 days a week. The couple that own it (Mike and Rebekah) are great and the service there is always friendly and you are glad that you stopped by. They have several dessert options but we really like the ice cream which is what we go for most of the time. Whenever we have company in town we make sure that their visit involves at least one trip to Made in the Shade and all of our family loves it as well. There is a large selection of ice cream and they make their own waffle cones which my wife loves. The decor is really nice with a jukebox that works and you can play anything that you want. This is a great place to go for dessert whether you are here for a week or a season. read more

This place is great!! The staff are very friendly and helpful! The shop has an awesome 50s style vibe complete with a jukebox! There are so many sweet treats you won't know what to choose but you can't go wrong with any of them! From fudge, to cotton candy to truffles! Everything is awesome! And I haven't even mentioned the ice cream yet! There's got to be close to 50 flavors!! Definitely stop here to indulge your wildest dessert fantasies! read more

This place was such a fantastic hidden gem! The BEST ice cream we have had in a long time and so many creative options! The couple running the shop were so friendly and accommodating. Will definitely go back again! read more
