They have grown folks Ice Cream! Perfect little spot for a quick date! I'm so glad I found this place. I had seen it when Ifirst moved here, but I couldn't remember where it was or the name of it. It's funny, I've been so close to it, so many times! I was welcomed in as soon as I stepped in. And it's cold in there! So bring a sweater. I did not expect to see tables and chairs. It's such a cute cozy Ice Cream shop. Grown folks flavors like: The Aviator Nutella ice cream with Biscoff cookies and hazelnuts Raja Honey Jasmine green tea with tangy fresh honey Datil Dark chocolate Ice Cream with Coca nibas ad Datil Pepper (I have no idea what that is) I got the Gillespie's Bourbon Pecan (21+) and the Queen Salted Caramel. The Bourbon, I wasn't expecting it to taste like she added a shot to it. I kid you not, it was smooth and good. That was the best salted Caramel Ice Cream I ever had in my life! You can taste the butter and the Salt! The flavors are strong; they didn't skimp on adding flavor. As you can see, they don't really have basic flavors, if a baby that only likes Vanilla........???? She did say that the Ice cream at Mayday is formulated only for this company. And they did an amazing job. read more

4.5 stars Really good flavors- the dairy-free flavors are very yummy and tastes very similar to real ice cream DAIRY FREE PEOPLE BEWARE!!!: Waffle cones have dairy (this is NOT noted by signage) and employees will double dip the scoops!! Ask for a new scooper if you have a more severe allergy/intolerance. The establishment was clean and we were served quickly. Decently and fairly priced! read more

Mayday Ice Cream - Dairy free chocolate cookie crunch in a waffle cone (cone has dairy) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Mayday is a hut-sized attraction in the middle of River City Shopping Center. It's an eye-tease as you are moving through the area. This is the main reason I visited with both of my daughters. The ice cream flavors are less than traditional, so we spent a great deal of time sampling. The flavors are exact to the descriptions I landed on salted Carmel and Giselleppi Delight. They have an ice cream cone chip as a topping so I did not need a cone. This place is pricey for it to be ice cream. read more

No soap in bathroom, trash overflowing, ice cream was melted. They were not keeping the lids closed on the ice cream cooler there for it was so soft and melting fast when it was handed to us. They also sprayed Windex over the ice cream to clean the glass while the lid was open. Do better!! We will not be back. read more

Chloe was very sweet. Ice cream was delicious! Very reasonably priced. Under six dollars for one scoop of homemade ice cream. That's impressive. The place smells amazing when you walk in. read more

Mayday Ice Cream - Mayday ice cream on Mother's Day! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I have become a true fan of Mayday Ice Cream. I have no clue how this was my first visit, but I had a craving for ice cream. I went to another place whose ice cream machine was down, so I just randomly stopped at Mayday. I was pleasantly greeted and introduced to all the delicious ice cream available. After trying a few choice, I decided on the parent trap which is a peanut butter based ice cream with Oreos in a waffle cones. This was delicious. It was so creamy but not overly sweet. I loved it. They also put sprinkles on top which just made it so much better for some reason. I will be coming back especially since I've learned that they sell pints of the ice cream. read more

YUM! Fresh, small batch ice cream! The perfect treat at the end of the night. So many unique flavors available, I was thrilled! I got the dark datil (dark chocolate ice cream with cacao nibs and datil pepper) as well as coffee with glazed doughnut bits. It was the perfect combination, the flavors played so well together. The service was fast and the lady serving us was very nice and efficient. We enjoyed our ice cream outside on their patio tables - it was an excellent evening. Mayday also has pints for sale in the fridges - I also saw they had both waffle and pretzel cones, very intrigued by the pretzel cones! Hope to try some different flavors soon! read more

Please try the Gillespie's Bourbon Pecan (if you're over 21). It was so delicious, with the slightest hint of Bourbon and rich pecans mixed throughout. The icecream was creamy, well-blended and amazing! All homemade. The blackberry earl grey has a lovely color and flavor profile, so light, with a great milk taste and blackberries running throughout. It's not too sweet, and just the perfect amount of fruit. Unlimited galettes and sprinkles! Free parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. If you love a flavor, get a pint to go! read more

My favorite ice cream place in the world! I'm not a cookies and cream kind of person, but I fell head over heels for their Cooke Crush.

I already love Mayday Ice Cream so I was super excited to have this little spot near my new house. This location is tiny and so adorable. It's also just as good as the San Marco location. My go-to flavors include: Cookie Crush - classic Oreo done flawlessly! My favorite, if I had to pick. The Aviator - chocolate and Nutella ice cream with Biscoff cookies, oh so yummy. Parent Trap - delicious PB ice cream and Oreo. What else do you need? Blueberry Toast Crunch - fruity and cinnamony and crunchy. Love, love, love. Cloud 9 - almond ice cream with homemade marshmallow fluff, creamy and so dreamy! Pro-tip: Don't miss out on the homemade sprinkles! They add a sweet crunch and you won't regret it! They also have prefilled little bags for pint purchases. read more

Mayday Ice Cream - Queen salted caramel & key lime - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I had planned to check out the Aloha waffle bar but it was packed so I walked over to this small glass storefront and decided to try Mayday instead. I'm so glad I did!!! Okay this is truly gourmet ice cream! It's rich and creamy and decadent. I consider myself an ice cream connoisseur and this might be the best I've ever had. I got the aviator flavor which is Nutella ice cream with biscoff cookies. The cookies were so perfect to balance the sweet Nutella flavor. They also have a vodka watermelon sorbet that's 21+ and sounded amazing but unfortunately I can't drink so someone please try it for me and let me know how it is! read more

On a late night I had a sweet tooth and this place definitely solved that craving. First time here and the staff took the time to answer all my questions as well as allowed me to sample the ones I was interested in. Cloud 9 was my flavor of choice on a waffle cone. Not too sweet at all. My s/o picked a flavor with bourbon in it. We both were impressed because we only eat dairy free and could stomach these with no problems. I just found my new ice cream spot. read more

I've passed by several times and finally stopped in to try the handcrafted ice cream and it's delicious. I got the double scoop of passion fruit turmeric and almond butter chocolate, just couldn't make up my mind since they both were yummy. The combination is a banquet in my mouth. They have milk and non-milk product plus they let you try them before you purchase. I also thought the all glass structure was cool, it's what caught my eye initially and I'm glad I finally stoop to go in! read more

Artisan ice cream a few spots in FL and expanding! They got flavors for everyone in the family as well as dairy free options... they even have 21+ boozy ice cream for when the extended family come to visit . They make their waffle cones in house and have floats and affogato (ice cream with a shot of espresso). Flavors I've tried so far and can give two thumbs up: triple vanilla, parent trap, Sunday best banana pudding, the aviator and gillespie's bourbon pecan. Don't forget to get your stamp in your rewards card! read more

Yeah, ice cream is great. Lots of flavors to choose from. But it's rather on the expensive side.

Holy moly! Went out for ice cream and this place was a few minutes closer than cold stone so I figure "what they hay, let's check 'er out." Best choice all day! Everything seems to be made fresh by them, very simple menu with classic options and some creative flavors. I went with classic strawberry but you can taste as much as you want so I suggest coming here to see if you find a new flavorite! They even have pints for sale to go, top notch establishment. I will be back, and I live Gville. Ps. My friend got this coffee and donut ice cream and the chunks of donuts in there is something I didn't know I needed! read more

A go to ice cream spot! I have celiac's disease and find delicious options with a super courteous staff.

Very good ice cream. I tried the GILLESPIE'S BOURBON PECAN and it was delicious. The prices are a little higher but it is quality ice cream. They even have ice cream that has alcohol in it. The building is a cute little non detached building with a little patio out front than you can sit outside to enjoy your ice cream. There is very little parking around the building but I did not have a problem finding a spot. I will treat myself again real soon. read more

There just isn't any better ice cream than this anywhere near here. Maybe in all of Florida. Still research's tho. Great, creative flavors. My go-to is the GILLESPIE'S BOURBON PECAN. But I've had many. Probably my second favorite is the Midnight Chocolate and then the Parent Trap cus of the peanut butter. But you really can't go wrong. Staff is always helpful & patient. read more

Mayday Ice Cream - Aviator - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The ice cream was D E L I C I O U S! I had bourbon pecan in a pretzel cone and I will go again! Interesting flavor combos. I'm partial to ice cream with nuts and there was only one option. Other flavors sounded delicious too. The pretzel cone was a new experience for me and quite tasty, even if a bit salty. So consider that when determining which flavor of ice cream. The pilot is "one scoop" but is really 3 small scoops. Now for the cons, the place is very small and the names of the ice cream names are only on the counter so you can't see all the flavors if it's busy. A wall menu would be super helpful. I had to hold up the line to see them all. Also, parking is horrendous and crowded and people will run you over to get their ice cream! I have one serious appeal to the owners...get some blinds! These poor employees are working in a glass booth and when we were there the sun was so bright, they were literally having to shield their eyes to even look at the customers. It was blinding for them and the customers. It was mildly cool today and even though the a/c was on, it was much warmer inside because of the sun. I can't say this enough, it was horrible and I felt very bad for those ladies even though they had a smile on their face and were all very friendly. read more

Please don't shame me, I asked this lovely young lady if I could post her picture. When I first got here there were 3 people ahead of me. She was so professional and calm with the customer who had a small child with her. After I ordered my usual (Lavender) which some say it taste like soap, I love it! LOL I sat to enjoy my ice cream. About 5min went by and this lady served maybe 7 other customers all with a smile and even gave recommendations of their site. She even gave an extra stamp for Patrick's day... she deserves to be recognized. Always tip for great service, she seemed like she enjoyed doing her job. read more
