Best Dessert in Richmond West

"Using all-natural ingredients, this family-run shop offers homemade Cuban ice cream, with flavors such as Café con Leche (Cuban coffee and oreo), Willy Cherrino (double cherry), and its signature Abuela Maria®, a Cuban classic consisting of red guava, cream cheese and sweet galletas. The shop, located in Little Havana, prides itself on creating new flavors daily, and when possible, using locally sourced fruits and vegetables from south Florida farmers. In 2013, Azucar Ice Cream was voted the Best Ice Cream by the Miami Times Herald."

"With a rotating board of fresh ice creams made daily, Azucar is the go-to spot for a sweet treat in Little Havana. There are more than 100 flavors, from originals like the Abuela Maria, which has a vanilla base mixed with guava, cream cheese, and crispy galletas, to classics like chocolate. The Miami sun can be pretty brutal, and Azucar’s ice creams are probably the perfect way to cool down."

"When strolling along Calle Ocho in the afternoon, nothing satisfies like a scoop of something cold. So pop into Azucar Ice Cream Company, where you'll find flavors that could be dreamed up only in Miami. Located in the heart of Little Havana, this shop has long served frozen sweets with Cuban flair."

Order one of these delicious bites for home delivery ASAP."

"Located next door to Casablanca and also overlooking the Miami River, this longtime family-run business boasts its own fleet of fishing boats, so you know the seafood is always fresh. Garcia’s sports a more casual vibe than its neighbor. It’s a lively place where families and friends gather on the laid-back patio to share plates of seafood with Cuban-influenced side dishes of rice, beans and plantains."

"According to the Miami New Times, a great place to visit is Garcia’s Seafood Grille & Fish Market. This establishment is part market and part seafood restaurant, and it is located in Miami-Dade County. It has been open since the 1960s, and it has become known for its variety of seafood sandwiches and seafood salads."

"Downtown's Gelateria 4D, located at 670 Lincoln Road, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the gelateria and café four stars out of 191 reviews for its plentiful flavors. Especially popular is the parmalat milk gelato, made with imported Italian milk."

"Wynwood Parlor perfected the simple combination of freshly baked cookies with high-quality ice cream and grew it into a mini empire of handheld desserts. From cocktail-inspired flavor duos (think piña colada and mimosa) to childhood classics rolled in Fruity Pebbles to vegan varieties, there’s something for every age and taste. Get your sandos delivered or shipped (they travel better than most frozen desserts) or try them in person at one of two locations in Edgewater and South Beach."

"One bite of this nostalgic confection — aptly named the Bedrock ($5.50) and made with house-made red velvet cookies, vanilla ice cream, and Fruity Pebbles — will instantly transport you back to those carefree days of watching The Flintstones. Choose from other signature sandwich flavors, such as tiramisu, reverse Oreo, and triple chocolate, or make your own by mixing and matching cookies, ice creams, and toppings."

"A food truck turned ice cream parlor, Wynwood Parlor has gained the reputation of having some of the best ice cream sandwiches in Miami. They have specialized in hand-crafted ice cream made from small batched cookies, ice cream, and toppings for years. Now, they have officially released their new boozy collection of cocktail-infused ice cream sandwiches."

"Martha Stewart stamps this as "the most beautiful spa in America," so if you're gonna book a treatment at Lapis Spa, then you might as well go big and reserve the Bleau private spa suite. There are two treatment beds, a jetted tub and a private bathroom and shower that accompany your oceanside view. Oh, and once you're done with your Aroma Detox therapy, you can bequest a personal bath butler to cater to your bubbling needs."

"Tucked away in Little Havana, Doce Provisions serves up a waffle with some serious Florida flair. Its standout Key Lime Pie Waffles are covered in graham cracker crumbs and topped with plenty of whipped cream, meaning it’s basically like having pie for breakfast — and who doesn't love that?"

"Even in artsy Wynwood, it’s not uncommon to find a juicy cheeseburger, fries, and a Coke. (Try to find a more iconic trio. We’ll wait.) But at iBurger, you can take these classic bites up to gourmet levels. Don’t just get fries — get truffle fries."
