    Loved this gem that my friend took me to! I'm a fan of local ice-cream stores so seeing the different flavors was super interesting and I sampled some and really was intrigued. Service was quick and very friendly. There is some indoor seating but also there's a really pretty fountain outside and there's outdoor seating. I can't wait to try it again when I'm in the area!

    Awesome tasting ice cream! They have unique flavors like purple colored taro ice cream. I was told by the staff they use fresh taro. I had the flight which consisted of 6 mini scoops so I could try a variety of flavors; they were all good. Definitely give them a try if you're in Windermere and craving ice cream.

    I've been following KKandbabyJ for years so of course we had to stop by when we were in Orlando! My husband got the Taro Ice Cream and I got the Vietnamese Che Ice Cream. Both were great picks! I love that there are so many unique flavor options that you can't really find anywhere else. There isn't plenty of seating inside but we were able to sit outside by the fountain. Looking forward to coming back the next time we're in the area!

    I first heard of Nola's because of my sister being a big fan of KKandbabyJ, and she really hyped this place up. I kind of figured she just liked it because she was a fan, but still wanted to try this place out. And the hype is justified! Regardless of who the owners are. When we first walked in, another customer was already raving to us how much she liked this spot and how the ice cream was super creamy. The workers are super friendly and the shop is such a cute spot. You get to try 4 samples of the ice cream flavors, so I tried strawberry lychee, Vietnamese che, banana pudding, and hojicha brown sugar milk tea. I'm not the biggest ice cream fan, but all of these flavors were delicious. The texture itself was indeed really creamy, and they're somehow able to really make the flavors of each come through pretty strongly without tasting artificial. I also got the Vietnamese iced coffee, which I was a little uncertain about because it can be a hit or miss. But it was definitely a hit here. It tastes really authentic and it was perfectly sweetened.

    Thai tea and hojicha ice cream

    The girl at the counter was very knowledgeable about the all of the different ice cream varieties, made sure to ask about allergies, sample requests and was spot on with flavor descriptions. She was so sweet! I ordered the hojicha brown sugar milk tea and the Thai tea- double scoop! The prices are fair for the unique flavors and quality. Both flavors were just the right amount of sweet. I loved the earthy tones of the hojicha and the Thai tasted like it was like actual brewed tea! Loved both and I will be back to try the other flavors!

    Vietnamese Che Ice cream
    Sara D.

    Yummy little ice cream spot! They let you try 4 flavors per person - I tried the hojicha, taro milk, Vietnamese Che, and the black sesame. I ended up getting the Vietnamese Che with rainbow sprinkles. It was super yummy and I loved the pandan and red bean flavors! I usually get the strawberry lychee which is a really yummy vegan option!

    This place is in such a nice location. It's cozy and the young lady helping us was so nice! I got the coffee and it was definitely strong but kept me up on my two hour drive back home. I was able to try some of the flavors - hope to get the ice cream next time.

    Cute little Vietnamese inspired ice cream shop tucked away amongst other restaurants. It is very small inside, so don't plan on eating the ice cream there. There is only one small counter with two chairs. There were about 16 flavors, some of them flavors I've never heard of. I loved the unique options. They only allow each customer four free samples, but that was enough for me. I really enjoyed the Taro sample I had but decided on the Vietnamese coffee, and I'm glad I did, because it was one of the best coffee ice creams I've had in a long time. I tried a bit of my husband's dark chocolate and thought it was just ok. My som ordered the birthday cake. Again, I thought his flavor was just ok, but he really enjoyed it. The lady behind the counter was really sweet and, when I said I wanted him to have a cone but the cones were too big, offered a mini sampler cone for him, with a mini scoop on top, and it was the perfect size! I only wish there was seating inside to make it a bit more welcoming, especially bringing my toddler with me.

    Taro ice cream - 5 dollars for a single scoop
    Arun K.

    After a good dinner at Dragonfly, I wanted to go next door and give this place a try. The inside area is pretty small and it was a bit crowded, but I was greeted by a friendly attendant. He was nice to let me sample the Thai tea and taro flavors, and I ordered the single scoop taro ice cream in a cup. I paid at the counter, and sat outside near the fountain. The ice cream was creamy and had a nice taro flavor, but wished the flavor was a bit stronger. It was quite small for about 5 dollars, but still was a good choice as I had tried many of the desserts at Dragonfly, and wanted to try some ice cream for a bit lower price. There wasn't much seating inside, but there were some tables outside near the fountain. Thus, Nola's is a great place to enjoy cool ice cream after a nice dinner, or a hot day outside. I wish the portions were a bit larger for the price, but still a cheaper option if you are looking for a light dessert compared to the restaurants in the same complex.

    Mini flight: ca phe sua da, hojicha, taro, thai tea, strawberry lychee sorbet, Vietnamese che
    Megan T.

    Great little shop :) the employee helping us was very nice and welcoming! She was very cheerful and complimented our flavor choices. My favorite was the strawberry lychee sorbet, but all of the flavors were pretty good! The flight is $14 for 6 flavors on small cake cones, which I think is pretty worth it. I would come again if I was in the area :)

    OMG guys... I have found my new favorite ice cream spot in Orlando! Nola is a new Vietnamese/Asian fusion ice cream parlor that recently opened and it has all the charm! Located in the restaurant row area of Dr. Phillips, this shop is located up stairs right next to Dragonfly sushi. The shop itself was very clean and the decor was very chic. Upon entering we were immediately greeted by the lovely staff and were offered some tastings. Nola had a variety of flavors, there were flavors that are more common and there were some that I have never even seen before. We opted to go with the ice cream flight which allowed us to choose from a scoop of 4 different flavors and one topping each. For our flight we chose the Che (traditional Vietnamese dessert), brown sugar milk tea, strawberry lychee, and mango coconut. Every single flavor was phenomenal! My top 2 favorites hands down were the Che and mango coconut... both were so creamy and flavorful. Overall, I had such a great first experience at Nola. I cannot wait to come back to try all the other flavors and to see what other things they have in store for their business that's coming in the near future!

    Single scoop hojicha milk tea
    Jenny S.

    Our friend recommended we come here and it didn't not disappoint! It was literally the only place in the plaza that was busy ---hojicha milk tea: creamy, nice tea flavor, so good i wanted a 2nd scoop after it first Wish they opened earlier than 2pm when we came but otherwise great!

    Christina S.

    Absolutely delicious! The employees aside are so friendly and helpful! I sampled the salted caramel, the Vietnamese, coffee, the Thai tea, the chocolate one and a brookie monster. I love that the brookie monster is not with artificial coloring, but rather Spira Leena! I will definitely be back with the kids. It is super cute inside when they have their own restrooms, unfortunately There is basically no seating other than a couple of seats. So if it's raining, this is probably not the place to come to because you will have to sit outside by the fountain. It was an absolute delicious ice cream though, and I will definitely be back.

    We decided to come here for dessert after dining at Kaya. After seeing highly rated reviews for…read moreSampaguita, I can agree with the ratings! It's a small ice cream shop located on the main strip of Colonial Drive. The bright lit sign stands out from afar. It was busy with people inside and outside of the shop. There's scoop options and sundae floats. We got the mini floats of the Halo Halo and a Mango Sticky rice. Both were so good and refreshing. We didn't think it was overly sweet for dessert. In fact, we took the team's suggestion and had vegan ube ice cream. We've tried vegan ice cream in the past and it was not good. This was actually good for vegan ice cream option. We normally share when it comes to desserts like this, but we finished our own. Recommend this dessert spot if you're in town or nearby! Seating is limited since it is a small place.

Ube cookie left an artificial aftertaste in my mouth which I was not a fan of I'll be honest. The service and everyone was friendly but it does take too long to move everyone along. Unique ambiance, great for Instagram. I'll take recommendations if you think I should give it another try. And rewrite my review.

    Craving the soft serve here and wanting to try the UBE…read more They offer samples of the custards if you are not sure which to get. I sampled the vanilla and ube. Both were delicious but the UBE stood out for me. This time it was not as packed and warm temp like it can be at times here. Ordered the Maiko Parfait in Ube : soft-serve with mochi balls, Japanese chestnut, adzuki red beans, sponge cake, corn flake, & agar jelly for $9ish. It was a delicious creamy not too sweet ube soft serve that had a delicious taste of ube. It was bright purple with the yummy-ness of this creamy ube flavor not the flavor im used to in filipino version ice creams. It had the mochi balls and chesnut - Corn flakes, Matcha sponge cake - Red beans, and jelly. I love this dessert. The interesting part of this soft serve - It was slow to melt! It was sturdy enough that when you take your time and enjoy it - It does not melt so fast unlike other soft serves. Would def come back again and get UBE!

    Matcha Cafe Maiko is a specialty matcha café focused entirely around Japanese-style matcha desserts…read moreand drinks. We walked into a cute and welcoming space with a menu built around showcasing matcha in different forms rather than treating it as just another flavor option. The atmosphere is cozy and fits the theme well, though seating is limited and it can get crowded during busy times, making it better suited for a quick dessert stop or grabbing a drink to enjoy nearby rather than settling in for a long visit. The main reason to visit is the matcha soft serve and dessert selection. The matcha flavor is noticeably rich and earthy, with a stronger tea profile compared to many sweeter matcha desserts. The soft serve has a smooth, creamy texture and works especially well in combinations like matcha shaved ice, floats, or parfait-style creations. The matcha shaved ice stands out with layers of shaved ice, matcha soft serve, red bean, mochi, and Japanese chestnuts, creating a dessert that has different textures in every bite. The combination of the creamy soft serve with the chewy mochi and the slight bitterness of the matcha creates a balanced dessert that does not rely solely on sugar for flavor. The drink menu gives plenty of ways to experience matcha, from hot and iced matcha drinks to floats and specialty creations. Options like matcha with ube, matcha lattes with foam, and hojicha drinks add variety for anyone who wants something beyond traditional matcha. The café also offers coffee options, which makes it easier for groups with different preferences to find something they enjoy. The matcha lattes are well balanced, with the earthy notes of the tea coming through clearly without being masked by milk or sweetness. Beyond matcha, the menu includes other Japanese-inspired desserts like taiyaki, mochi-based items, and seasonal offerings. The combination of traditional flavors and playful presentations makes the café feel like a dessert destination rather than just a drink shop. The desserts are also visually appealing, with the kind of presentation that makes them worth taking a photo before digging in. The taiyaki are crisp on the outside and filled with a sweet red bean paste that contrasts nicely with the cold soft serve. Service is friendly and helps keep the experience smooth even when the café is busy. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu and make it easy to choose between the many matcha options, offering clear descriptions of the flavor profiles and texture differences between the soft serve, shaved ice, and latte options. Because the café has a strong focus on quality matcha and specialty desserts, it can get popular during peak hours, so visiting outside the busiest times may make it easier to find seating and take your time with the menu. Matcha Cafe Maiko is a great spot for anyone who enjoys matcha or wants to try Japanese-style matcha desserts. The combination of rich matcha flavor, creative menu options, and a cozy café atmosphere makes it stand out from typical dessert shops. It feels like a place worth visiting when you want a matcha experience that goes beyond a basic latte, offering a dessert that feels both authentic and indulgent without being overly sweet.

    Another good ice cream place to add to my list of favorite places to go in Orlando!…read more The ice cream is a perfect combo of dense, soft, and creamy. From the top of the swirl to the very bottom of the inside of my cone, there was not a single air pocket to be found. I got the chocolate flavored ice cream, and every bite was chocolatey and creamy heaven. Now, if you know your desserts, the cone that is used is usually known as a chimney cake. It is a sweet pastry that is soft on the inside and has a glass-like crunchy exterior that is coated with cinnamon and sugar. It's a little like eating a cruffin, but with a crunchier exterior due to their special way of making it. Definitely worth trying at least once if you've never tried it before. Overall, if you're looking to impress a foodie with something sweet, decadent, and pretty, I'd say give this place a go. The ice cream is as perfect and delicious as you see it.
