    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.

    I heard about this place from TikTok and since I was in Orlando on vacation, we decided to stop by. Located on a busy street. Parking located in the back but can get busy. We went at night closer to 6-7pm. The line was out the door but the wait wasn't too long. A lot of choices of Filipino traditional ice cream. We ordered the ube brownie sundae and halo halo. OMG!! It was so good.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Found this place watching Youtube Orlando food reviews and can't be more happy to have tried it. I forgot to take pictures inside and of the menu my apologies but i promise you, you can't go wrong! There might be a line but it goes quickly as the service is quick and will give samples! Parking is in the back but you can also find street parking if the lot is full!

    Sampaguita, Soysauce Butterscotch and Keso and Guava Cheesecake
    Valarie E.

    I went on a busy Saturday, almost every table full but I was lucky to get a front table just in time. At this vistit I had three scoops in a bowl. The Sampaguita is made with Almond vanilla bean ice cream and perfumed with a hint of jasmine + lychee jellies. So flavorful and light, a unique blend of floral notes and fruit. It was so good I took a pint home! Keso Guava Cheesecake is a Mild cheddar cheesecake ice cream with scratch-made guava preserve swirl and cinnamon graham crunch. It was so rich and satisfying with the tropical guava flavors that add depth and sweetness. The last scoop is Soysauce butterscotch. Which is a brown sugar and vanilla ice cream with umami notes of soy sauce and a hint of Maldon salt. At first look this did not sound appealing! But Sampaguita lets you try four flavors, so I obliged. And what a delightful surprise! The combination of sweet and salty really brings out the flavor! If you are looking for delicious options that you won't find in the mainstream, go get yourself some ice cream! Pints are also available and I got Pineapple Cake, Milo Rocky Road, more Sampaguita. I had such a pleasant experience and I hope you do as well!

    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!

    Two scoops with Oreos on top! So yummy!

    Cute spot with delicious flavors! There were several we wanted to try here. There is a parking lot and entrance behind the building for those like me that struggle to go to places on Colonial because of the difficulty finding parking.

    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!

    I've always passed this place and the line seems to always be out the door . I never thought to see what they were selling but, Friday we had a ladies night out at Tori & my friend said she wanted Sampaguita. I said sure we walked over & the line and was out the door and down the sidewalk if I wasn't with my girls I would have probably aborted the mission but, we were committed so we stayed & im sooooo happy we did ! I was struggling to pronounce Sampaguita and a nice guy helped me pronounce it and gave us some history on the name of the restaurant. Once inside the ambiance is busy but its ice cream so the wait time wasn't long. The service was Amazing. Once you're inside you can sample any flavors before you're decide. I ordered 1 scoop of Keso Guava Cheesecake (KEH-so) on a waffle cone. I saw immediately why the line is always long the ice cream was delicious! It was so delicious I came back the next day and ordered 1 scoop of the Ube Cookies 'N Cream (OO-beh or OO-bee) & my husband got the Mango Peach Pie. I would def recommend this spot . I plan on coming back to try other items.

    Oh my goodness what a gem on mills! Pros; open late! A++ date spot or late night pop in. Vegan / nondairy / unique options abound. So many choices! Amazingly comfortable seating for intimate small groups, solo time, or a big friendly get together. So baby friendly! Super clean environment. I loved being here. They had oat milk soft serve in ube, vanilla or swirl, alongside their dairy options. Amazing flavor choices from the case as well. I was seriously tempted by the banoffee. I did try their incredibly generously sized ube brownie and was surprised by his tender it was. Also A++ on the cute merch. Cons; parking in mills is tricky, and the lot behind fills up fast. Expect to spend some time finding a spot. Will be back!

    I thoroughly enjoyed getting to try this adorable little ice cream shop. It's such a cute and inviting space and the ice cream is unique and delicious! They allow each person four samples of ice cream, and what's cool is that with each one you get, they give you a neat little description about what you're tasting. Between my son and I we tried: Soy sauce butterscotch Ube cookies and cream Birthday Mamon Guava cheesecake Sampaguita (floral with almond notes) My three year old ordered the birthday mamon in a waffle cone (which she was making fresh there). He absolutely loved it. I enjoyed the flavor as well. I also ordered myself a small cup with one scoop of the Ube cookies and cream and one scoop of the soy sauce butterscotch (who would ever think of adding soy sauce to ice cream!) Both of them were super creamy and super delicious! I especially loved the Ube. Even the samples I tried were delicious and it was hard to choose, so I want to come back and try other flavors next time. Parking can be a bit difficult because it's right on the main strip of colonial, but luckily I found a spot right out front. The customer service was great as well! All in all I'm so glad I got to try this place and will definitely be back.

What stands out is how many unique and interesting options they have: pistachio foam lattes, banana pudding matcha, pumpkin spice floats, lychee spritz, melon floats, taiyaki, shaved ice, and creative soft-serve parfaits. The menu is huge with lots of fun twists. The shop has a clean, modern vibe with good seating. Service was friendly and quick. If you like matcha or want something beyond basic drinks, this is a great spot. Definitely worth checking out in downtown Orlando! Will be back to try more items

Front desk is friendly and they offer fast service with not too long of a wait for our drinks to be made. Inside has few seating but enough for a fast turnaround of visitors. Parking is very limited in the back, but there is street parking available.

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.
