Ice cream is so good! We stop here after every time at the beach or if we just come shopping. It's a must! Kids love it and beg us to stop there. Great prices and service is amazing. The workers are so nice and patient! The line is usually out the door but they get people through quickly. Sitting outside eating ice cream taking in the vibe and scenery is awesome! The cookies and cream is my favorite and the homemade banana pie is my wife's favorite! The kids love it all. read more

You can tell Olaf's is a classic spot because of the long line! Everyone wants to get a scoop! Since we were waiting in the line, I wish I could see the flavors and menu sooner to be more prepared when it was my time to order. With the long line I felt pressured to be ready - but I couldn't see the scoop flavors until I got to the ordering part! But overall, chill out! You're in siesta key - you know? Enjoyyyy, relaaaax. It was great ice cream, a great value, and a great area to grab a scoop and walk around :) read more

Can't believe this was the first time we had ice cream here. This was great local Amish Ice Cream made by Yoder's. Which you can also visit in Sarasota. I tried several flavors including Key Lime Pie, Toasted Coconut, Blueberry Cheesecake, & Caribbean Rum Raisin. My Fave was the Rum Raisin. I also really liked the Toasted Coconut and the Key Lime was pretty Key Lime. Ordered a two scoop with Rum Raisin and Blueberry Cheesecake. Rum Raisin I could not stop loving and the blueberry cheesecake I tasted the cheesecake more that the blueberry. The person assisted us was there every step of the way and gave us all the samples we requested and ran our order up. We sat inside. Many people sat outside on the long bench. Next door is the Organic Gelato place so you can check both of them out. read more

After 20 years of visit after visit. I finally had a good ice cream here. I always thought this place was overrated, but it didn't stop me from continuing to go year after year after year. I never thought the ice cream had any real flavor but today I had a scoop of triple peanut butter and chocolate peanut butter and that is the magic combination. They consistently have friendly kid to work here which is nice. read more

We stopped here after eating pizza a few stores down and was not disappointed. We were all super full but still wanted to try some ice cream in town. I got the double chocolate fudge ice cream and it was super yummy!!! My boyfriend got the banana something and he liked it a lot. My boyfriends mom got the coffee bean one and she finished the whole thing. The service was great, I will say the girl looked like she was not happy but she wasn't rude or anything. Definitely a cute place to get some ice cream sit down on their benches out front and just enjoy! read more

We were visiting Siesta Key today in 90-degree weather. We were thrilled to see this ice cream shop and walked right in! It was nice and cool! There was a big crowd in the shop naturally. My daughter ordered a double scoop of Cookie Monster and Praline Pecan in a waffle cone. I got the Butter Pecan. Both were creamy and good! There are very few parking spaces in front of the store. You may have to drive around a bit to find a spot if it's the weekend or a holiday like today. read more

I love a good cup of ice cream after a stroll on the beach. Cute ice cream shop with a smell of homemade waffle cones you can smell a Mike away. It's minutes away from the beach. So many flavors to choose from. Great customer service. I got mint chocolate chip. My family got a mixture of flavors. All were delicious. Love the cream texture. Nothing like ending your evening with some fresh homemade ice cream. Looking forward to visiting again soon. read more

Visited 27Apr25:: My girlfriend and I love ice cream we chose this place because she loves Cookie Monster ice cream and I love mint chocolate chip. Hand scooped ice cream is the best! Got them in fresh waffle cone and bowl. Not stale or soft at all, def the best ones we've had. Lots of flavors to choose from. We also picked out two pieces of fudge, peanut butter chocolate and Twix. Service was fast, they def have it down to a science. We loved the seating options, inside or outside. Outside provided either benches or you could sit on their ledge and look out at the road or face the people sitting on the bench. We will def be back! read more

I had the soft serve with chocolate and vanilla mixed. The vanilla was ice cream, but the chocolate was frozen yogurt, which (for me, anyway) is a step below ice cream or frozen custard (and the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5). My wife had the triple peanut butter (hard) ice cream, which she said was fantastic. She gives the hard ice cream 5 stars. We went after lunch, so it was not crowded. However, the place does get packed in the evening. read more

The vibe is bright, tropical, and relaxed--think pastel tones, natural wood, and sunshine pouring through the windows. I went with the Sunshine Smoothie (pineapple, mango, banana, orange, coconut milk), and it tasted like vacation in a cup--super fresh, not too sweet, and perfectly blended. I also grabbed a cold-pressed green juice (can't remember the name, but it had kale, cucumber, apple, and lemon), and it was crisp, clean, and exactly what I needed to balance out too much beach food the day before. Their menu covers everything from smoothies and juices to açai bowls and wellness shots--each one thoughtfully crafted with real ingredients. No syrups, no fillers, just the good stuff.
