When the Florida sun is blazing, nothing hits the spot like a cold, creamy scoop of ice cream. I did the delicious legwork and found the top five places in Boca Raton and Delray Beach that totally deliver when it comes to sweet treats.
Sloan’s Ice Cream – Boca Raton:
Walking into Sloan’s is like stepping into a candy-colored dream. The smell of fresh waffle cones hits you immediately. Their ultra-creamy scoops come in fun, nostalgic flavors like Cookie Monster and Circus Cookie. Don't miss the homemade brownies or their chocolate-dipped waffle cones.
Carvel – Boca Raton:
Craving a classic? Carvel’s soft-serve swirl cone with rainbow sprinkles is a timeless treat. It’s simple, delicious, and always consistent. The Flying Saucer ice cream sandwiches? Iconic.
Gelato & Co. – Delray Beach:
Authentic, light, and made fresh daily, this gelato shop is a must-visit. I tried the pistachio and stracciatella on a waffle cone, and it instantly transported me to Italy. Perfect after dinner on Atlantic Ave.
Creamy Flavors – Boca Raton:
A hidden gem with bold, homemade flavors. I had Oreo cheesecake and mango sorbet—together—and somehow, it worked. The staff is super friendly and generous with samples.
Brendy’s Ice Cream at The Reserve – Boca Raton:
A neighborhood favorite that feels like home. I loved the peanut butter cup and coconut almond scoops. They also offer sugar-free, frozen yogurt, and other fun options.
