Gator Ice Cream — Restaurant in Jacksonville Beach

This family-owned ice cream shop boasts 100+ flavors, specializing in “exotic” flavors. They absolutely do not disappoint with their options. Any and everybody is bound to find something they enjoy from their regular, classic options to their foreign fruit choices, like durian and lychee. They also have booze-infused options, so bring your ID if you’d like to try that. The only “negative” things I’d have to say are that toppings were very limited and that is a bit pricy. The quality of the ice cream is probably the best I’ve had in this area, so I would say it is still worth it. The customer service was nice. They offered to quickly break down their flavors and how to order, offered samples, and were efficient with their time and serving. I will definitely be back, and you should definitely visit if you’re craving ice cream.

The customer service for my later visits was not as great as my very first one. It seemed like there were many employees standing around not doing much while one did most of the work, and maybe that’s why the service was not as good. I’d still be back if I’m in the area and craving a...

Went to the beach locally (Kathryn Abbey Hannah Park.) And afterwards, wanted to get ice cream nearby area. Group I was with agreed and willing to try "Gator Ice Cream"... Arriving, it was a small establishment, but very welcoming atmosphere! We were welcomed as walked in, and I was surprised on amount of menu options. There were two nice ladies that asked if had any questions, or if we wished to try anything before deciding. I went with a medium, two scoops cup: 1 scoop Pistachio, 1 scoop Blueberry Cheesecake... Both tasted extremely good! I would have enjoyed getting more! The service was excellent, and restaurant or establishment was clean and there was seating indoors, and some seating outside (if weather is nice). I certainly enjoyed trying something new, and supporting local, and look forward to trying many of other options or desserts available... I went on Saturday evening, i dont know how busy certain times may be, however, did not take long to be helped or order items. Parking is shared with other businesses, but parking...

If you’re in Jacksonville and haven’t been to Gator Ice Cream, you’re seriously missing out! I’ve been here three times, and every visit cements it as my absolute go-to spot whenever I’m in town.
