    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Soy Sauce Butterscotch is a must try, super cute date spot that I highly recommend. My girl had bought me some ice cream and we found ourselves going back 30 minutes later to try the menu. To say their favors are unique and delicious is a disservice to, their take on these flavors and how amazing their execution was! 10/10 one of the best spots in Orlando.

    $11 Flight Sampler
    Joy J.

    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.

    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.

    Sampaguita sits in a stretch of restaurants that honestly are all the pride and joy of Mills 50. This is the place you bring your bit city relatives to show them that Orlando has a competitive food scene. Sampaguita does NOT miss. You can get their traditional scooped ice cream in amazing Filipino fused flavors like my absolute favorites, soy butterscotch or banoffee; you could do their soft serve (ube vanilla swirl with ube sauce if you're nasty); you could grab baked goods or even take a milkshake to go. The line may be out the door and halfway around the block but they move through it like CHAMPs. Whatever you do, have a back up plan to eat your ice cream in your car, because sitting is limited at best.

    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.

    Made me proud as Pinoy! Best ice cream shop in Downtown Orlando. If you like ube, you will love this place. A lot of unique flavors to choose! There are vegan options! People are nice! Small but nice ambiance!

    Ube Brownie Sundae and Birthday Mamon cup
    Kerri C.

    After a lackluster dinner around the corner, stopping here was an improvement. On a Thursday night, it was moderately busy, yet not packed. Ordering was a smooth process, aided by cordial staff. My family was able to grab a table and soak up the tropically chic decor. I couldn't resist getting the Birthday Mamon since my personal holiday was the next day. I added coconut flakes which added another level of pleasing texture. The cake bits are a hidden treasure as you eat it. My kids got the Ube Brownie Sunday. Since I also added the Housemade Ube Whipped Cream to mine, we all ended up with purple lips, a badge of sweet honor. I will definitely return to try the Halo Halo and Sampaguita, the Filipino crowning jewels. This is a Yelp celebrated business for good reason. Go support this local gem!

    Halo-halo
    Happie M.

    I keep hearing about this place so I went to ck it out. I ordered halo-halo with ube ice cream. I was a little disappointed once I tasted it. The ice cream didn't taste ube as I was hoping for and the ingredients (sahog) are not the traditional ingredients I was used to. Overall, the halo-halo wasn't too bad. Their selections ice cream, on the other hand, were pretty good.

    99 flavors and that ain't enough! Filipino-own ice cream parlor in the orlando-area. I never knew until this podcast mentioned their favorite ice cream places. So glad to have the opportunity to this place out. I ended up getting their halo halo special. It was very city like to me compare to how the country side would serve. BUT what took the cake was the ice flavors! Yaaaaasss!! Filipino mango, and coconut panda was sooo tasty! My group also grabbed a scope and tried the sample cones. Flavors varied from aa simple as vanilla to halohalo. They switch it up weekly! They also sell merchandise for any fans and tourist!. I shall be back!

    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.
