Soiled freezer burnt 1. Cookies and Cream
Astrid M.

Oh brother, here it goes. This was not a review I wanted to have to write. Wall's is known for being a Miami staple with its date night ambience and cheap but delicious ice cream scoops and variety of sweet flavors. The night I spent here, however, was not so sweet... I visited the establishment in hopes of a delicious treat and instead left overcharged with freezer burnt scoops and regret. Poor guy serving the scoops was friendly but clearly didn't know math when ringing customers up or how to properly manage his dairy products. From a taste perspective, that ice cream was horrible (odd because it's usually okay here) but food safety wise? Extremely unsafe. You know what they say about thawing food out and then refreezing it in a public establishment? Don't do it. Why? Risks of salmonella, E. coli, and much worse... a soiled palette! Not to mention lawsuits... Also, the sprinkles were improperly stored, they were out of toppings like chocolate syrup, they had no bottled cokes or waters, and the place had a creepy Elmo figurine dangling from the wall like it was his first and last breath on Earth. Don't even get me started on the ant-ridden benches and seatings. Overall, really poor ice cream quality, overcharged by mistake but there's no way this guy didn't know his scoops were freezer-charred. Do not recommend at all unless you want to develop chronic IBS for the first time. 0/10

Banana split on a paper plate!
George E.

I've been to this establishment a number of times, always with a positive outcome, unfortunately, this time it wasn't. The establishment air conditioning unit was not working. It felt like it was 100+ degrees inside. I ordered a banana split, where they had no toppings for it, just hot fudge, whipped cream & nuts, no strawberry or pineapple toppings, not even a cherry, they served everything on a paper plate! Also, the staff was not welcoming whatsoever. They were just overcome with the heat, placing cold bottle of water on their necks.. I hope they have a better plan in place for any future issues and there's no excuse for running out of supplies or ingredients for customers are paying for...

Stopped in for 2 pints of ice cream after having lunch nearby. We ordered Rocky Road & Peanut Butter Cup! They were $9 each. The ice cream here is creamy & delicious & the place was packed!! The Superhero is very popular & is my son's favorite. It turns your tongue blue when you eat it!! We didn't get it today but all the kids were ordering it.

If I was simply driving down the street, I would have never stopped at Walls Old-fashioned Ice Cream. It's in a benefactor location in me of a paint job. However, after eating at The Big Cheese across the street, we were in the mood for something sweet. I'm a chocoholic so I immediately ordered the chocolate. I wasn't overly impressed. I've had better and to be honest I should have stopped and bought Breyers on the way home.

Decent and moderately priced for a standard milkshake. Has been around for ages and continues to draw locals. Could use a refurbish and paint job--looks like it hadn't happened since the 60s. They may be trying to make it look "old" but it just looks neglected and makes one question the sanitation therein.

If you're on Dixie hwy in coral gables, chances are you've passed this spot. It looks very intriguing because of its vintage vibe. The inside is even better! It felt like a mom & pop place so i just knew the flavors were gonna be good. I ordered the butter pecan malt (not milkshake) & WOW 10/10. Not too sweet. It was a bit of a line but it's ok because i didn't mind waiting inside while I looked at all the memorabilia. I would come back again and try their pistachio ice cream for sure (they were out). 10/10 recommend!

Brownie sundae with cookie dough ice cream and pralines & cream ice cream
Danielle B.

Walls Ice Cream is always an enjoyable place to go to. I have been coming here since I was a kid, and it hasn't changed one bit. It's fun to go and see the old photos of the wall from years ago. The ice cream is always great. I tend to get the chocolate chip cookie dough or the mint chocolate chip. I've never been disappointed. Recently, I ordered the brownie sundae, and it was huge! So good! We live close by, so it's a fun spot to walk to, as well. Sometimes, they have cartoons playing outside, which is fun. Wall's is an institution, and I hope it never changes!

The cutest ice cream spot
Audrey S.

The sweetest little place! Literally and figuratively. Walking into Wall's is like being transported back in time. Both inside and outside the decor makes you feel like you're in a cute ice cream store from the 50s. The ice cream is good and the prices are super reasonable. They offer plenty of flavors and some good sundae options. We got a two scoop sundae with a dry topping, a wet topping, and whipped cream for somewhere around $7-8. The sundae was a delight and the kids scooping it were very sweet and patient. As an added bonus, it's accessible off of the metrorail for those trying to drive less. An absolute gem!

Red and white wallpaper. High schoolers behind the counter. Prices that bring you back to a time before inflation rocked Miami. Wall's is a special place. The laid back minimalism in a shop decorated just as I imagine it was 40 years ago brings back a sense of calm and wonder of being a kid again eating an ice cream cone on a hot day. A place where the only reminder you are in 2024 is the credit card reader is a special place that we are so too quickly losing in this rapidly changing city. Yes there are better options in terms of quality, but for the affordable prices, friendly staff, and reminder that life doesn't always have to move at 100 mph makes Wall's an indispensable asset to the Magic city.

Come with me to Wall's Old Fashioned Ice Cream in South Miami. Right off US 1, you can find Wall's, a charming old-fashioned ice cream shop with a big sign you can't miss. On this visit, I went with a milkshake. For their milkshakes, you can select up to 3 of their ice cream flavors. I went with two flavors, Triple Chocolate and Coffee, which were perfect. The consistency was excellent and very chocolaty. Overall, Wall's Old Fashioned Ice Cream was incredible. The service was lovely, and the old-school ice cream shop feel was there. I will be back to try one of their other fantastic menu options.

Families love taking the kids here. It's been around since 2000 if my memory serves me well. The inside and outside patio needs a little love and looks a bit weathered. The ice cream tastes homemade and all the flavors are pretty tasty. Great place to stop in for dessert after some pizza at Big Cheese across the street. I've always found some of the patrons to be a bit snotty but that's not the businesses fault. I give it an overall experience of a 3.5 stars.

Chocolate chip mint
Ariel W.

After lunch in the area and reading the good reviews we headed to Wall's for dessert before leaving South Miami. For the last seven years it has been owned by Felipe Grabiel who managed to survive the pandemic by adding a takeout window to the outside. The ice cream shop has been a community staple for years and Gabriel used to bring his own kids here before he owned it. Wall's has a nostalgic look with it's red and white striped building and checkerboard floor. There are a couple of tables inside and more out front and on a side deck. My first impressions of the inside were it good use a good cleaning. Tables were dirty and walls and floor needed a scrubbing. Wall's specializes in classic flavors like pistachio, vanilla, coffee, Oreo Heath bar, and strawberry are scooped out of a tub which can be turned into hakes, sundaes, malts and old fashioned sodas. Additionally there are seasonal and no sugar flavors. They also sell fudge although I didn't actually see any. Wall's is famous for their Great Wall Challenge which requires you to finish 5.5 pounds, 36 scoops of ice cream, 3 dry toppings, 2 wet toppings, banana, brownie, whipped cream, and a cherry. If you can do it your picture is placed on the wall of fame. I settled on a scoop of chocolate chip mint that could have used more chocolate. and which was scooped by an anemic teenager with his ear buds in who looked like he would rather be anywhere but here. He couldn't wait to sit back down and go on on his phone. The gentleman who helped my friend seemed more energetic. I can see how if you lived in the neighborhood this might be a good place to stop by with your kids. They had it decorated cutely for the holidays but all the inflatables were laying there lifeless. I personally prefer artisanal ice cream and everything at Wall's from the ice cream, to the service, to cleanliness made this a one and done for me.

Heath Bar & sugar free coffee
Maibel R.

Such a cute old school retro spot where we took our engagement photos! He had the heath bar flavor & I had the sugar free coffee one. They were both delish! Had so much fun

I ordered a custom sundae but it came with no whip or cherry on top. Pretty disappointed

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 :(

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.

You truly cannot go wrong with Yuzu frozen yogurt. It is such a convenient location for downtown…read moreBrickell. As soon as you walk in you smell the freshly made crepes and waffle cones and bowls. You are greeted by an employee as you enter. The yogurt itself was so soft and silky. They have samples. The taro yogurt was like nothing I had ever had. I want to go back a million times to just get that. You can even swirl two flavors together here! The toppings are kept cool, on top of an ice cooler and it is self serve. I believe it is roughly .89 cents per lb or maybe a little more than that, but it is definitely less than $1 per lb. We paid under $20 for both of our yogurts being 9 oz and 16 oz. Including my review! Must try!

There are so many trendy yogurt places opening lately, but sometimes you end up paying way too much for a yogurt with a few toppings. Taro flavor is great That's why I really liked yuzu. The prices are very reasonable, they have a lot of frozen yogurt and gelato options, and there are plenty of toppings to choose from. The place was very clean and organized, the service was friendly, and I liked that they also have some options that feel a little healthier. The atmosphere is casual and very family friendly. We also saw the crepes on the menu and immediately said we need to come back because they looked really good. Overall, such a nice little find. Good variety, good prices, and a comfortable atmosphere. I'm still surprised we hadn't found this place sooner!
