Brownie earthquake w added pecans
Audrey S.

What a classic Miami kind of place. It's just one Cuban lady behind the counter, and it's basically a small building with outdoor only seating embedded in a parking lot. I found the vibe very charming. The ice cream was okay though, especially for the price. I added pecans to my brownie earthquake and it cost a dollar despite getting only a small sprinkle. Add in another dollar surcharge for credit card (this seems excessive) and the price was simply too high for the quality of ingredients used. The brownie, for example, was a highly processed, packaged brownie like they give in school lunches. I would come back and try the food. It's a fun experience because the vibe is so uniquely Miami. Or I would come back for a plain soft-serve. Would not get a specialty ice cream again.

This was a late night ice cream visit. Very casual drive up spot that had desserts and food to order from the window. There were seats available to eat. There was a small wait to order as there was only one person working, but she handled it. We ordered ice cream cones with sprinkles and a caramel sundae, simple but yummy! We were glad they were open and there were spots to sit outside and enjoy!

This place was my savior after a business conference event at loanDepot Park. Lol It took a 7 minute walk from the front of loanDepot park to Palace Cafe & Dairy. When I got there, there were already lots of people from the conference in line and waiting for their food. I was interested in the Tuna Salad with plantains. I didn't see it on the menu, but I saw a picture of it in one of the pictures at Yelp. It took a while to get to the front of the line because there was only one person working. I felt so incredibly bad for her because she was all by herself, taking orders and making & packing food. One guy who seemed to work for a construction company cussed at her. It was not cool. I understand that his order took a while, but it was just so unkind of him.. The poor woman kept on apologizing. Anyways, when I got to the window and ordered, I showed her the picture I saw on Yelp, and she understood and placed my order. She gave me the waters and ice cream that I ordered right away since it took no time to do so. The main dish I ordered took a while, but when I finally got it, it tasted very good! Also, when I got my order, it looked like someone finally came to help her, so that was good too. If you're looking for a convenient place to eat, try this place out. The food was delicious, healthy, and fresh. The plantains from the tuna salad were still nice and hot when I got my order. The ice cream was well needed because Miami got hot midday. The only reason why I'm giving it an honest 4 stars is because the wait was definitely long. The service was wonderful, and she tried her very best to serve the fastest she could. Also, if you're looking to buy water for cheap, come here. The bottles were $1 each when I was there. Compare that to buying water at loanDepot Park. Hahaha #wateryouwaitingfor

This is my favorite little Spanish cafe around. When you pull up, it is very unassuming and vintage. Parking is kind of limited, but there is a small lot and street parking. The menu is on the wall when you come to the window. The lady that works the counter speaks great English, which isn't always common in this area. I always get the Palace Combo. It gives you a pan con bistec, fries, and a drink of your choice. They also have ice cream and cuban coffee. If you are looking for a quick, drive up Cuban/Dominican lunch spot, this is going to be your jam. The food is authentic, the locals love it, the prices are right, and the service is wonderful.

“We had soft serve in cones nothing fancy but just as affective (and very affordable) on a hot Miami day.”

The flavors used to be light and delicious, it was the best ice cream shop in Miami. Recently,…read morethough, something has changed. The ice cream now feels heavier and has a more artificial taste, which is noticeable even in the appearance (the pistachio flavor is a clear example). In addition, some of my favorite flavors, like Fior di Latte, are no longer available!!!!!!!

Pretty good gelato spot central in Mary Brickell. Pricer side for what you get. I got a medium,…read morewhich was pretty small for about $12. Cold after dinner sorbet still hit the spot while on a summer stroll. The cup didn't last long even with the comically small spoon they give you. Few bites. I appreciated that they had a few decent vegan flavors to choose from. The chocolate was great and the others didn't feel overly sweet nor lacking. Casual take out spot. It's in a great walkable location, so the line was forming. It's over priced for what you're getting tbh, but it's in the right place and it's pretty good. On the right night, I can see myself going back.... Just wish they were a bit more generous with the scoops or shaved the price down a bit. To be fair, this may be an industry wide issue recently. I'm noticing a lot of restaurants having trouble striking that right value for the customer this summer :(

RivaReno Gelato - We each ordered 3 scoops. I tried Cheesecake, Café, and Pistachio, while my wife chose Rum Raisin, Origa, and Sweet Alabama.

If you're not giving Azucar five stars, what are you doing? This place is fantastic and so, so…read moredelicious. It is one of my go-to places to take visitors from out of town - you get a delicious sweet treat and so many flavors that just scream Miami and Miami culture. My personal favorite is the cafe con leche with oreo...so decadent and I truly feel like I'm just having a cup of ice coffee! However, many people I've taken also love the abuela maria! Can't recommend more highly!

Azucar bills itself as the first homemade Cuban ice cream and I believe it. Get the Abuela Maria. It is their number one seller for a reason: guava, cream cheese, and Maria cookies folded together, and it tastes exactly like something a Cuban grandmother would make if she also happened to be a genius. Cafe con Leche and Mantecado round out the top three and neither disappoints. Real talk on the practical stuff. It is busy and the shop is small, so expect a line and expect to eat standing or perched on the window bench. Prices run about seven to eleven bucks a cup depending on size, but taxes are included in the sticker (rare and appreciated, no surprise math at the register). Cash and Apple Pay both work. Pro move: grab your cup, walk thirty seconds to Domino Park, and eat it watching the old timers slap dominoes. That combo is peak Little Havana. Five stars, would fly back to Miami for the Abuela Maria alone.
