I figured with homemade ice cream and awesome pralines, there was zero chance that I could do less than a five star review. We had boozy Amaretto, the Nerd Ice Cream ( creamy with nerds and a hint of grape ) , cookie monster and one single bourbon praline. 5 star yumminess. And 5 star friendly staff. read more

Was visiting the area and had to see what the high ratings were all about. Was not disappointed after walking past all the ice cream shops in the nearby boardwalk on a Friday afternoon. My family got 4 flavors of ice cream, the worker, a redhead if I believe, was very professional and got out orders in a timely manner. We got death by chocolate, blueberry lavender, toffee, and a coffee flavor and all of them had the flavor and consistency we were looking for with ice cream. It didn't melt too fast and was perfect for licking. Toffee had the right amount of crunch to it. Chocolate was more intense than your typical place, coffee ice cream had an actual coffee flavor to it which is hard to get right. The big surprise was the blueberry lavender which is non dairy. The emphasis was more on the herbal lavender flavor which was a surprise. Not a bad thing at all, I did note it reminded me of basil in a way The actual interior was clean. Enough decoration on the wall to make it interesting within a beach town and not sterile. Trust the reviews. It's on the outskirts of a touristy area and isn't a tourist trap at all read more

TOTALLY AMAZING!!!! My visit to Pecan Jacks was delightfully AMAZING! I was helped by Aaron and Eli and they not only sold me INCREDIBLE artisanal ice cream, but also made my experience extremely memorable. Straight VIBES. I left extremely happy and 100% hyper. I went in maybe 30 min before close, and I think I tasted like half of the flavors. I don't like to be that sample gal, but they really encouraged me to try them all and kept giving me flavor after flavor! I don't regret it too, because EACH flavor I tried was very rich and decadent in flavor. The many ice cream flavors were a creative twist on classics and there is a flavor for every age! Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the chocolates, mocha, espresso flavors as these had a very great balance between sweetness, strong flavor, and softness. I can tell that the ingredients used are very high quality and each batch is made with love. I highly recommend visiting when Aaron and Eli are working. They are great hosts and represent the Pecan Jack brand amazingly! They made my ice cream look super cute and were very generous with my two scoops! I ended up getting the Kahllia Espresso (21+ ice cream flavor) and Elvis. Also, the ice cream shop is HUGE! There are various sections throughout the store for candy, the ice cream, toppings, merchandise, and seating. Very clean, family-friendly, and a fun place to stop by! read more

Pecan Jacks - Destin - Kids scoops (left to right) chocolate mint, Olaf, nerds and a single scoop of toffee. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Destin, Florida

WARNING: EXTREMELY DELICIOUS There were so many treats here calling my name. Ice cream is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. Fresh bonbons, jelly beans and taffy and candy galore. The ice cream, however, is the star. I had the key lime pie, a flavor which usually fails to meet expectations. Here, however, they aced it! Tart, creamy, a bit of graham cracker crust which worked as an accent to the ice cream, and not a filler. There was plenty of casual outdoor seating, as well as indoor seating with a view of downtown. The whole space was immaculate! Easy parking as well. The owners are a family, and we're happy to take time to chat for a bit. Definitely a place to stop for a break and a treat read more

1st time here. Clean and new place. Parking lot and entrance could be better and make it more appealing. Service was excellent. Ice cream flavors were great. Samples given and did not rush out big group. Waffle cones delicious but little pricey. Overall really good creative ice cream flavors Will return Service pushed this from 4 to 5 stars. Keep it up ! read more

Really thrilled with this spot! We tried three different spots in Destin and THIS IS THE ONE THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS! The service is great. They are happy and willing to make recommendations. The facility is bright and clean with a lot of options for seating indoors or outside. They have candy for sale by the pound, but we just came for ice cream. Looked to be a good array to choose from. The ice cream was just AWESOME! They have normal flavors, booze infused, and just downright fun flavors. I'm a kid a heart, so I opted to try the nerds ice cream for fun, and boy was I glad that I did! Delicious and what a nice change from my usual choice. Plus, got some chocolate covered pecans to go for the road trip home. #genius Those would make an excellent gift, as would some of the ornaments and books they have in there. Epic stop and when we come back the ONLY ice cream shop worth visiting. read more

This is absolutely the best ice cream in the area. The staff is extremely friendly and made our night just walking in the door. Highly recommend the "Willy G," a mix of the Oreo and Reese's flavors. The spiked Kahlua ice cream is delicious as well. Only con is that, as a local, we didn't even realize this place was here until word of mouth. There should be a larger sign outside on 98 read more

Amazing ice cream and the guy was super nice. I LOVE THE SHIRTS! Definitely recommend to anyone in Destin.

Wow! Put this on your must go to list! Homemade at the store ice cream -- creamy and delicious. I had the lemon blueberry cheesecake that melded the three flavors perfectly.

Looked around for an ice cream shop that made their products in-house. This is definitely the place! I tried samples of the Red Velvet Cake and Key Lime Pie. It tastes just like the pie! I've been all through the keys diving and tried key lime pie during those trips. This ice cream is truly amazing! This is definitely on my more than once in a trip place to visit. The staff stayed busy helping the customers but were polite and friendly. I even purchased a Theo ornament! Thanks for such a wonderful visit! read more

I'm so excited Pecan Jacks is now in Destin! Their ice cream is incredible, no other compares. I always have to get some of the bayou brittle and pralines. There is something for everyone here, candy and ice cream for the kids... but the liquored up ice cream & pralines are a must for the 21 and ups. The new store looks amazing and the staff are very friendly. read more
