Best Gelato in Leisure City

"Many places serve ice cream in Miami, but Azucar Ice Cream Co. is an award-winning, neighborhood treasure serving up Cuban ice cream from its Little Havana shop. Sourcing local ingredients from farmer's markets and even from fruit stands down the block, Azucar is a cool tribute to the owners "abuela" (grandmother). Ice cream flavors include sunset-colored mamey, creamy avocado with condensed milk, sweet pink guava and sorbets made only with the juiciest mangos, were all grandma's favorites."

"From Italian gelato to Argentine helado to Coney Island frozen custard, warm-weather destinations inspire great takes on ice cream. And Miami is no different with its sabor latino, ideally sampled at Azucar Ice Cream Company. The shop specializes in tropical flavors, including sweet plantain, mantecado (Cuban vanilla), coconut flan, guava, avocado and the signature Abuela Maria, vanilla swirled with ruby-red guava, cream cheese and chopped Maria cookies."

"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."

"Gelato-go South Beach, a spot to score gelato and more in South Pointe, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 264 Yelp reviews. Head over to 458 Ocean Drive to see for yourself."

"I had a pistachio icecream.Very creamy i would give it 4/5 , although it was incredibly heavy . I'm giving 3/5 cause you they don't give out ta..."

"That’s about all of the Italian we need to know to navigate the freezer at the most authentic gelato shop in Miami. The owners, Frederico and Carla,  brought their family recipes from Italy to the Grove and their passion for gelato shows in every creamy scoop. Pop in, sit down for a coffee, and enjoy the real deal."

"Another Southwest Miami tradition is sitting on the picnic tables outside of Wall’s Ice Cream (simply Wall’s to locals), the Metrorail running overhead while you enjoy one of their famous bananas splits. It’s a family owned business in South Miami that has made an indelible mark on Miami, and makes every customer feel special and acknowledged.

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Dadeland. This old-timey Miami spot has been around since the 1950s. It’s vintage and charming, even if the flavor options are seemingly stuck in the past."

"Be transported back to a simpler time at this old-school ice cream parlor, where patrons can indulge in homemade ice cream, shakes, and sundaes. Available from its to-go window or by delivery."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Coral Gables. This South Miami neighborhood spot is a mainstay for traditional, no-fuss ice cream. Servings are cheap, cookies are freshly baked and the staff—made up of mostly teens and kids from the area—are cheery and eager to let you try whatever is in the freezer."

"Started in 1985, Whip ‘N Dip ranks as a long-time staple among the best Miami ice cream shops. Using locally sourced ingredients from partner suppliers, they make new flavors daily. Some must-trys include banana nut chip, heath bar brownie and chocolate-covered almond."

"This family owned ice cream shop is just off Sunset and has the best ice cream in Miami. Bold statement, I know, but I speak the truth. And, they don’t just stop at ice cream, their cookie cups happen to be the greatest of all time."

"This South American import serves premium “helado,” aka gelato, brought in from its headquarters in Argentina daily. It’s popular throughout the world — and Miami — for its gelato paninis, “mountain peak” waffle cones, and light flavors. Available for takeout or sold by the pint at Milam’s Supermarkets."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Design District. Pastry chef Soraya Caraccioli-Kilgore’s playful dessert spot sells vibrant unicorn cakes, rich chocolate bark and soft-serve in unexpected flavors. Her ice cream, in varieties such as matcha and berry rhubarb, is already pretty special yet she always finds a way to kick it up a notch with add-ons like edible glitter, gold leaf, gold dust, cotton candy and fancy sprinkles—and we’re all the more grateful for it."

"Soraya Kilgore — best known as the pastry chef at restaurants like Brava and Alter — is the woman behind this palace of sweets in Miami's Design District. MadLab Creamery isn't just about the ice cream, however. This spot also entices young and old to create their own sweet-treat work of art via more than 30 toppings, including edible glitter, tufts of pink cotton candy, golden-sheet sprinkles, even a macaroon or two."

"Whether it’s December or June in South Florida, we’re never not down to have a paleta, especially one from La Michoacana.

"Check out the enticing swirls of green tea and black sesame soft serve offered in fish-shaped waffle cones. The delicious waffle cones are made freshly at the store and come packed with red bean paste fillings at the base. Nicely topped with wafer stick and mini mochi rice cakes."

"There aren't many ice cream spots where the menu is displayed on a periodic table of elements, but ChillN is not a typical ice cream shop. Guests choose their flavor and mix-ins, and then employees flash-freeze their combination with liquid nitrogen and transform it into ice cream. Orders available for takeout or delivery."

"No limit on the amount of toilet paper (cakes) one can buy here. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Lucila Cakes (@lucilacakesmiami) on Apr 11, 2020 at 8:08am PDT"

"Start a day of business meetings or sightseeing by fueling up at this popular, buzzing cafe located in the bustling neighborhood of Coconut Grove. Whether you're grabbing a bagel, pastry or croissant to go or you're settling in to while away the morning with a full meal and the daily news, this is the perfect choice for locals and tourists alike. GreenStreet offers indoor seating but it's the outdoor tables that are always busiest, often with patrons who bring their furry friends to this dog-friendly establishment."

"The platters are super filling and generous, so go there with plenty of room in your stomach. There are sit-down dining and outdoor seating. They offer delivery and takeout too."

"The gist: Intimate modern Italian from the people behind the massively popular La Pollita food truck, where you’ll find a collection of wines worthy of a restaurant ten times its size.The food: The menu at Boia De is almost as tiny as its space, but you literally won’t find a weak link anywhere. We’re talking Italian without being in-your-face red sauce, with subtle options like crispy polenta and marinated eggplant, Amberjack crudo with yuzu salsa verde, and grilled broccolini leading off the hit parade. The entrees hold up just as well, highlighted by homemade pappardelle with rabbit and rosemary, and massive lamb ribs with urfa yogurt and spicy cucumbers."

"Those who’ve been around Miami a minute know “a minute” means a lot longer than that, and also may recall the legendary La Pollita food truck. The people behind that beloved poultry on wheels opened Boia De last year, and will be bringing back the truck’s signature fried chicken sandwich as part of the curbside ventanita menu starting on Thursday.Cost: $11; takeout only"

"Upon first glance at the Delano South Beach, you’d never guess the building was originally constructed to serve as military housing. At the time — the building was constructed in 1947 — the four-winged tower was the tallest building in Miami. Today, celebrities rather than soldiers flock to the Delano, now a part of the Morgans Hotel Group, for a little rest and relaxation."
