    Decided we needed a little dessert after lunch... After all the ice cream I've tried in Orlando, this has to be my new favorite!!! I tried the soy sauce butterscotch and it was incredible!!!!! I also tried a cheesecake guava flavor, also amazing! Ended up getting both in a waffle cone. The staff here are just SO friendly and awesome! The decor inside is also really nice and gives me such relaxed vibes. 100% I'll be back!!!

    Okay so let's start off with the good - very cool place, great addition to Orlando. Love the decor, worker was nice and let us sample, ice cream was delicious! Now the reason for the -1 star. First, its mills and the parking on a Tuesday was rough. This is a general issue, not specific to them but we had to drive around the lot for 10 minutes, then we decided to leave and look elsewhere ended up having to walk a decent amount. It was frustrating and inconvenient if you're meeting with others. Second, I'm kind of confused as to why if someone is ordering a normal scoop or soft serve we have to get a number and wait, I've never seen an ice cream place do that. I totally understand for speciality items but was a little surprised for ours - the place was packed so a lot of people were standing around waiting with their numbers. Overall it hit the spot and in my opinion was worth the hype; just make sure you're not in a rush!

    YUM. I wanted something sweet to end the day and stopped by. We got lucky and got parking right up front. Each person gets to try 4 flavors and lemme tell ya - I had a hard time deciding. They were SO good. I settled on the Buko Pandan with coconut flakes and totally recommend. Delicious. I will be coming back.

    Even on a Wednesday Sampaguita Was packed. While it's off of Colonial, there is a parking lot in the back of the plaza. Despite there being a parking lot, we weren't able to find parking and we had to park on the street. For the middle of the week, I was surprised that there was a line out the door. It took about 15 minutes before we were serviced, but the staff behind the counter was working hard. Sampaguita has unique flavors, such as Ube. They were very accommodating and they let us try a bunch of different flavors. I was surprised because every flavor that I tried wasn't too sweet like ice cream typically is. My friend and I ordered the Ube brownie with Ube whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. It was good but also not too sweet. Personally I think the ice cream actually wasn't sweet enough. With the hype that Sampaguita gets, I was expecting to be blown out of the water, but it was a little underwhelming. I think there's better ice cream in Orlando. The dining room is really cute and there's actually a lot of tables. It's very comfortable to sit there and hang out with friends.

    I've been wanting to try Sampaguita for the longest time! And finally getting around to it - it didn't disappoint. You can probably guarantee this place will always be busy (and for good reason). Even with a line to the door, the service was very quick. There is a lot of seating even towards the back of the shop and loved the ambiance. They're very on brand throughout the entire place. I ordered the birthday mamon in a cone and I loved it! They also had a ton of other unique flavors and sundae options. I definitely will be returning!

    Love this gourmet ice cream place near downtown Orlando. Serving Filipino inspired flavored ice cream. They let you taste it with small sample. Then you order at the end of the counter on what you want. If undecided- advised to do the 5 flight sampler. Our favorite is the ube cookie and cream. You can also get halo halo - a Filipino treat. They also serve pastries and cookies. If you are a local, sign up for their reward program. They also do ice cream cakes.

    We decided to come here for dessert after dining at Kaya. After seeing highly rated reviews for Sampaguita, 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.

    Craving exotic ice cream this day. Opted for the mini cone flight. These are 5 mini cones with 1 scoop of any flavors (5) you choose. $11 I chose the Sampaguita, Ube cookie and cream, Buko pandan, Mango peach pie, Champorado. My favorite is still the Sampaguita. It has a very unique taste. Staff here are nice and helpful. The merch here are cute but quite pricey especially clothing. I love the cartoon pinay mascot.

    I need to start this off by saying their ube milkshake is incredible. I got it the first time I went here and this time and I don't think I could ever not get it. Thankfully my husband's willing to try new things so I usually have him get something different so I can try it too. I even got my youngest hooked on the ube milkshakes. I let her try mine last time and she regretted not getting it. So we both got it this time. I love that they let you try the different ice creams while you're getting ready to check out. We've also gotten their ube brownie and their ube oatmeal cream pie. I prefer the oatmeal cream pie over the brownie but I'm not really a big brownie fan. The service here is always really friendly. They are happy to help. It's not a very big store so it's better to go on the off hours. We went around 3:30 today and we only had another family in front of us. The last time we came was around 6 p.m. and the line was out the door. There is parking usually behind the store if you go in off hours so you don't need to park on colonial. I love how the store is decorated. The halo halo had flan on it and I wish I could just get that as a dessert. It was so good!! You really can't go wrong here!

    The Ube Soft Cream Swirl is my latest obsession right now. I didn't discover it until recently and now that's all I want. Just writing this is making me want to go there and get it. IT IS SO GOOD! Though the line can get long, I have to say the staff does a great job of moving through it quickly, especially when you consider customers wanting to taste the different flavors and all that. I love the decor and aesthetic of this place. Seating is incredibly limited.

    Pineapple Cake Single Scoop
    Joel C.

    Very fun place to stop. It's got a very neat ambiance and is a great place to meet up with friends. The food is very good. I ordered their classic Halo Halo and it was quite good, although not my personal favorite. I was not a huge fan of the flavor combinations but I know other people who loved it so I will let you be the judge of it. Their other ice cream flavors were good and quite unique, particularly the Pineapple Cake. Service was slow. I get that it is a busy place, but even then, it was slow and employees (although nice), seemed to not prioritize efficiency. A couple people left the line because of the wait. Overall, it's a fun stop. But it's expensive and some of their desserts are definitely an acquired taste. I'm sure the line is quick sometimes, but it was not for us.

    Personal flight - choose 5 flavors
    Julyana T.

    Popular ice cream place with the locals - people were lining outside on a Saturday night but the line wasn't all too bad. The 5 flavors I chose for my personal ice cream flight were: ube cookies & cream (personal favorite), ube latte, champorado, mango peach pie, and coffee & biskwit. These were served with miniature sugar cones and the cutest mini scoops of ice cream.

    Delicious desserts and baked goods. I love ube and this place definitely has plenty of that. My favorites are the oatmeal ube creampie and the ube milkshake. I also tried the halo halo which was unique with a bunch of flavors and textures. The staff is always friendly and helpful and give out as many samples of ice cream as it takes to make your decision. It is pretty small inside, but decorated nicely. It can get pretty busy and the line tends to extend outside. I'll definitely be making it back here again.

    I recently visited Kelly's Ice Cream for an after-dinner treat. I have visited Kelly's a few times,…read moreand they are always delicious and consistent with all of their flavors. My personal favorite is the Oreodough, but i always love trying the seasonal flavors while in store. They also have options for individuals with alternate diets, which I think is inclusive as an ice cream store. The inside of the Corrinne location is extremely spacious with multiple options for seating. Additionally, the staff keeps the store extremely clean and is nice to whoever they are serving. They also have a community board, which is a nice touch. With a lot of ice cream options in Orlando, Kelly's is one I would consistently recommend.

    I asked around for local Floridian businesses to try, and one name that kept coming up was Kelly's…read more I ordered the salted cookies and cream ice cream, and it was delicious. The balance of sweet and salty was perfect, and the texture was super creamy. Definitely one of those flavors you keep thinking about after you leave. The storefront we visited was also surprisingly spacious, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our treats without feeling crowded. On top of that, the employees were very friendly and welcoming, which always makes the experience that much better. Overall, I was rhappy with my visit. If you're looking for a solid local ice cream spot, this is definitely worth checking out

    Finally got the chance to try Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko, and what a delight it was!!…read more Upon arrival, there was a bit of a line, but thankfully it moved pretty quickly. My order came out quickly. I got their matcha latte with ube foam, and it was a dream in a cup. In comparison to some other places I've gotten matcha from, Cafe Maiko is definitely a top contender. The overall decor is trendy and very clean. They have a cute circular chair that's IG/social media-worthy for a cute photo op. It is quaint inside, with a decent amount of seating. There's some bench seating up front as well, and I believe there is also a bench for seating just outside. Thankfully, I was getting my order to go, as the day and time I arrived, there was no seating readily available. Beyond that, it is a very cute cafe. The parking situation is FOREVER a challenge in the Mills District area, so just be cognizant of that. Pricing was very reasonable. The staff was so kind and helpful (if you had any questions). All in all, for my first experience, I truly enjoyed every bit of it.

    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.
