I had to come back and leave a review after visiting the Riverside Mayday Ice Cream two days in a row--Liam and Layla made both experiences amazing. They were both so friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful, even during busy hours. This place has so many options that it can feel overwhelming, but they took their time to guide me and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. You can tell they really care about creating a great experience for every customer, not just rushing through orders. That kind of service makes a huge difference--and is exactly why I came back the next day. Highly recommend this location. I'll definitely be back again! read more

I recently learned that MayDay sells cookies and I really enjoy the Barrel-Rolled Oatmeal cookies! I went back today and Liam was so help and kind. Thank you, Liam, and the many other staff that's kept me coming back to this location. read more

Liam was a fantastic liaison for our ice cream experience! He helped us choose a flavor profile based on dietary restriction and preference. He is a very down-to-earth professional, worth the visit. Thank you; it was great icecream. read more

Had such a lovely experience at Mayday Ice Cream in Riverside! My best friend and I stopped in and immediately loved the cute, quaint vibe and how friendly everyone was. Mi'anjah gave us exceptional service--she was so knowledgeable, made great recommendations, and we loved everything she suggested! This kind of experience definitely keeps me coming back. Highly recommend! read more

I tried some, Mayday ice cream in St. Augustine at a cute little ice cream place and it was there I had the revelation that this was not mayfields but Mayday, and it tasted so great my grandson and I fell in love with Parent Trap, which is peanut butter swirlz vanilla chocolate ice cream with oreo cookies. So I ran by and picked up a pint today while close by and took it home to surprise him. He was so happy and so was I because I got to eat some too LOL Mayday ice cream is really flavorful and fresh. They offer so many flavors. So stop by Riverside and give em a try. Service is great and of course they are family friendly read more

Great service and very sweet. Sarah and Liam are the best. Great music and smells amazing, great ambiance. Will be back!

The best craft ice cream!! My first time at Mayday ice cream definitely did not disappoint! The shop is so cute and trendy and smells delicious given that they make the waffle cones in store. The workers were also so friendly and welcoming and made samples so easy to ask for. They have such fun and creative flavors and you truly can't go wrong with any of them. Prices reflect the quality and make of their ice cream and I would definitely say this is a must stop for ice cream! Love the topping options and their sprinkles are so fun. read more

We love Mayday ice cream. Our favorites include lemon box and datil dark. We also still go for the icee or pops too. Always a good time when we stop by! Good service and you can taste test new or seasonal flavors. Cute ambiance always very clean! read more

What a cute place! I've heard really great things about this company so I was really excited to give it a try. I decided to get 2 of their premade pints which were $23 total. They came with complimentary sprinkles, spoons, and special bags to keep them cold (cool)! Is this ice cream cheap? No. Is this ice cream delicious? 100%. It is definitely a speciality sweet treat, and I likely won't have a pint in the fridge all the time, but definitely a good choice for a special occasion! The inside is very small and has limited seating, but it's well decorated and there are tons of ice cream flavor options. Every dietary restriction will be able to find something (vegan and gluten free included!) read more

Clean environment, friendly staff, good prices. Sarah is awesome and helped me decide what flavor I should go with. You can tell she takes much pride in her job and customer service. Will be coming back every time I want ice cream! read more

I had a disappointing experience at this location. I came in to buy a pint and asked if they could do two flavors in the same container, which one employee was about to do until another staff member stepped in and abruptly said company policy does not allow it. That makes no sense to me, because customers can order two scoops in a cup and choose two different flavors, but somehow a pint container can only have one. I've had this done at Mayday before, so the change and the way it was handled were frustrating. I ended up leaving without buying anything. There are several other premium ice cream shops nearby with friendlier staff, lower prices, more flexibility, better service, and better ice cream, so this experience makes it hard to justify coming back. read more

Isa and Liam were so sweet. Ice cream always is a go too. Will be back whenever I have a sweet tooth.

Customer Service was amazing alot more flavors than the popup shop in Rivercity! Still a fun vibe, a nice drink selection as well to compliment those cool flavors. read more

This spot is great for a sweet treat! I highly recommend you trying them out. They offer unique ice cream flavors that can be bought by the pint or served in a cup, sugar cone, waffle cone or pretzel cone. They also offer coffee, espresso, floats, variety of drinks and a selection of popsicles. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is indoor seating and a few tables outside also. I was happy to see Affogato on the menu. I chose one over vanilla ice cream and it was delicious! read more

Splendid, treat, creamy, rich, unique, and yummy... words that describe the feeling I had as I ate my first Mayday ice cream dessert! I had a hard time deciding which flavor I wanted to savor. Luckily, they encourage taste testing here. The employees give service with such enthusiasm and smiles. Also, the ambience is very laid-back, and the style is very 1950s. Love it! This was our first time at this local spot, and we cannot wait to come back! read more

First timer! I really wanted some ice cream that was handmade. And this place you can taste the difference of the texture as compared to cold stone. Don't get me wrong cold stone is good but this place they make their own ice cream and it is soooo SMOOTH not hard at all. I got the Nutella flavor and the chocolate!! They always change the flavors too! Love this place. read more

If you can't decide on a single flavor, just go for the 6 scoop flight! . I was pleasantly surprised to see this option. It's $8.50 & more than enough for me and the mini to share. This visit's picks were as follows & there's a really good chance we'll do another flight next time so we can sample another round of new flavors (like Datil Dark!) Lavender Melange Dirty Chai (if you're a fan of coffee ice cream, you'll enjoy this) Raja Honey Key Lime Pie Blueberry Toast Crunch Strawberry Mint Sorbet Other notes: - To Go Pints available - Waffle cones & sprinkles are homemade - Hyppo Gourmet Pops also available - Staff wearing masks - Indoor and outdoor seating Location/Parking: - Tons of parking (Mayday shares the same building as Burrito Gallery, Vale Food Co, Zoe's Kitchen & Chipotle). - It's also steps away from The Fresh Market in Riverside. read more

Service is great, staff is nice. I see Mayday ice cream all over so tried it out...not gonna lie...not a fan. I mean it's ice cream so like who doesn't like ice cream but it just wasn't very good. I got a flight and I can't say I enjoyed really any of the flavors. The sprinkles are a cute touch but I just left going mehhhhh. read more

Mayday Ice Cream - a scoop of ice cream with sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

My husband and I stumbled upon May Day Ice Cream as we were searching for dessert spots in Jacksonville, Florida! We're on a foodie adventure to find the best food in the country and we have to say that they are absolutely worth visiting!! It was the cutest place ever! When you walk in the smell of their homemade waffle cones hits your nose. The walls are painted super cute!! They have such fun and different flavors!! You can even order a flight of different flavored ice creams so that you can try multiple flavors!! Such a GREAT idea!! All of them were so creamy and packed with mix ins and flavor!! We also ordered the affagato where you pick which flavor of ice cream you want and they top it with fresh espresso! Some of our Favorite flavors were the parent trap. It was a PB ice cream with oreos mixed within. The PB was so prevalent and delicious and made the ice cream so creamy, plus the oreos within gave you a slight crunch and chocolate flavor which was bomb! The Aviator was a chocolate Nutella ice cream that was also super smooth and creamy with fat chunks of biscoff cookie!! The cookie crush was the best cookies in cream we've ever had! MASSIVE chunks of oreos and the base legit tasted like the cream of the Oreo! Honestly everything was so good!!! You must check them out if you're in the Florida area!!

Great place. Called before coming to see if they made non dairy ice cream, and they do. I tried the different samples and ended up going with the dirty chai in a waffle cone. It was delicious. My daughter had the cookies and cream in a kids cup. I don't remember what my friend had. The girl helping us was very patient and kind about me sampling the dairy alternative ice cream. I tried all of them and settled on the dirty chai. I may try more in the future. They added sprinkles to my daughter's and a small little waffle cone piece in it as well. Definitely a pleasant atmosphere with friendly staff. I highly recommend going. Especially those who can't have dairy. read more

The location on Riverside isn't as big as the one by the beach. With only one person serving us I felt she couldn't attend to everyone like I've been attended to at the other locations. Nevertheless great ice cream. The aroma of sweet goodness hits your nose as soon as you enter the doors. I'm a repeat customer. read more

I loved this ice cream! My boyfriend and I stopped in the location in Riverside and I was excited to see all the dairy free options. The man and woman working were SO nice and really made us feel welcome. We chatted with them for a while about the area since we are new to Jacksonville. They were so nice. I sampled the chocolate almond butter dairy free ice cream and the cookies and cream dairy free one. They were both so rich and delicious. I also tried the banana cream pie which was decadent and sweet. I decided to go with a scoop of the HUMBLE CRUMBLE (GF, DF) (a version of our classic Cookie Crush made with blended and crushed gluten-free Oreos). It came with a little waffle cone cookie on top. So cute! My boyfriend went with a single scoop of COFFEE + DONUTS (uplifting coffee ice cream made with coffee from 1565 Artisan Coffee & chopped pieces of glazed donuts). I loved how you could REALLY taste the coffee flavor. We sat on their back patio and enjoyed our treats. They gave us a punch card since we will be locals soon and we can't wait to go back! Great service, yummy ice cream, and a cute little shop! read more

Mayday always hits the spot for me when I'm craving something sweet and cold. This shop is located at Brooklyn Station on Riverside, just nearby the Zoe's Kitchen and Burrito Gallery. There is indoor/outdoor seating and a large menu selection of ice cream flavors that include dairy free options. I find myself here more than other ice cream shops because of it's convenient location to my apartments. Tonight I splurged and got the Wingman which is "two scoops" but it was more like 6 medium sized scoops - I felt like it was a lot of ice cream!! Next time I might get the smaller portion. My choices were Key Lime Pie & Triple Vanilla. I would rate the Key Lime at an 8/10 and the Vanilla a 10/10. They were both awesome. Mayday also offers a flight of scoops where you can choose a bunch of different flavors if you're feeling indecisive. They will let you sample as much as you like, so try away before you make a decision on flavors. Hint: all delicious!!!! Their session chocolate remains my favorite flavor though. Must try. The staff is always very friendly and the location is nice and clean. There is a freezer with pre-scooped pints for you to take to-go also. If you need something to wet the whistle they also have a cooler with some apple juice, coke, water, etc. I definitely recommend Mayday especially this location to those that have never been before. Wonder what flavor I will try next...... read more

Great spot for those hot summer Florida days. This location is in the new apartment area located in riverside. Staff are friendly and they gave us the history of how Mayday started.

My husband got there cookies crunch in a waffle cone and adorable colorful sprinkles. read more

Wow! Talk about bad service. Not a soul inside besides me and the girl working the counter. I wanted a pint of Lavender Melange. There were none premade in the cooler. So I asked if she could pack one. She said "no"! Your one job is to sell ice cream. It wasn't busy I wasn't asking for 8 individual servings. Just a point of ice cream. That's just sad. I literally made the trip for their lavender ice cream. Pathetic customer service if you ask me. Won't be back. read more

I was surprised that they were open so late on a Thursday and even more surprised at the amount of people there! They have interesting ice cream flavor combinations. I got a chocolate on a waffle cone, and my boyfriend the coffee n donuts in a pretzel cone. Both flavors were delicious. I was shocked how they can get ice cream to taste like coffee and doughnuts. read more

So this ended our night of trying new places. We ended up at Mayday for some after dinner ice cream on a hot Florida night. They have lots of choices and you can sample the flavors before the hard decision of what you want in your dish. I settled on the Bourbon Pecan and Cloud 9 (Almond Marshmallow) and only $7.75 for two scoops. They offered a cookie and sprinkles, but I passed. Though she did say they it was included. The ice cream is very delicious and portion size is generous. My husband and son both liked their choices but I cannot recall the names. I remember lemon and a black cherry, peanut butter and Smores. Everyone was happy with their choices. A different change of pace since we usually go to a few other places around town. read more

I have to say this was one my most disappointing Experiences. The wife and I love good Icecream, and had herd it was recommended. The young girls behind the counter were , not very attentive, and I asked for two scoops of Icecream , I was given the smallest scoop of each I've ever seen. It would have been better , for us to just stood there and tried 4-5 different flavors than what I paid for , because to me , that was the same amount I received in my cup , it didn't even go over the top of the tinny bowl and at around 20$ for two people to have 4 scoops total and one waffle cone that's just ridiculous, truly Shame on the owners if this is there idea of customer service and how they train there workers. Now the flavors were good quality , but the portion size, made me feel like I was getting robbed. read more
