Cherry on Top — Restaurant in Gulf Shores

Wow wow wow 100x wow. This ice cream was DELICIOUS.

I, personally, asked the sweet ice-cream attendant for the Espresso Chocolate Chip. This was after the cone-ista had given me some samples to try, all of which were great, seriously the decision anxiety was real. I got a single scoop waffle cone and it was HUGE. Put me right into a sugar coma; which was the perfect way to end the day.

I definitely recommend this adorable “mom & pop” ice cream shop. The service from the frozen cream scoopers was impeccable, they were friendly, helpful, and personable! Also super speedy. I was in the store for maybe 15 minutes sitting and eating my ice cream, and they cranked out orders like nobody’s business, while also making sure everyone felt taken care of and not rushed. Not to mention their taste in music…. Chef’s kiss! 🤌🏼

ALSO, I wasn’t able to partake, but they had a cute outdoor setup for families to eat ice cream on some picnic tables and play bags (cornhole). What a family-friendly place!

Without a doubt this is a 10/10 in my books. Thank you to everyone at Cherry On Top who works hard every day to make this THE BEST ice cream spot at the Gulf Shores!...

I recently visited Cherry on Top, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The shop has such a welcoming atmosphere—bright, clean, and cheerful—which immediately puts you in a good mood the moment you walk in.

The ice cream itself was incredible. Every flavor I tried was rich, creamy, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. What stood out most was how fresh and balanced the flavors were—not too sweet, just perfectly satisfying. They also had a wide variety of toppings and mix-ins, so it’s easy to create something fun and unique every time you go.

The staff was just as delightful as the ice cream. They were friendly, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping customers find their perfect flavor combination. It’s rare to find service that feels this warm and personal.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat, bringing the kids, or just indulging yourself, Cherry on Top is the perfect spot. It’s one of those places that makes you smile before, during, and after your visit. I’ll definitely be coming back soon—and...

My family and I visited Cherry On Top while on vacation, and we all loved it so much! The shop is such a sweet little place with all the fun and happy vibes. Their milkshakes not only look amazing, but they taste just as equally great! Cherry On Top had a great selection of ice cream flavors and they weren’t hesitant to give you a free sample of any flavor you had an interest in. The service was great, and we were even able to meet and chat with the owners while we were there. They are a great family, and even gave us some recommendations of their local favorites to check out while we were vacationing! There are games for everyone to play out front, and tables to sit at and enjoy the warm evenings while hearing the ocean just a few feet away. From start to finish it’s a great (and delicious) way to spend some of your time in Gulf Shores. My family and I will...
