La Michoacana Key West Mexican Ice Cream — Restaurant in Key West

A do-not-miss experience. Easy parking in Searstown plaza away from Key West crowds -- located conveniently on the drive in or out of Key West, La Michoacana is not anything like your standard, American ice cream shop. Not much on looks, but wowwie! It's like walking into a tropical taste treat of fruity and creamy ice creams and rich sorbet-like flavors made with yummy, fresh fruits, cream, and more. Innovative combos. We loved the Hot Banana -- a sundae with vanilla ice cream, warm caramelized cooked-banana sauce with real banana pieces supplemented by fresh banana slices. Also the more exotic, huge cup of mango sorbet combined with strawberries-and-cream ice cream. Not Baskin Robbins typical strawberry but thick streaks of real, deep red strawberry puree in an unusual, delicious vanilla ice cream topped with small cubes of real mango and I'm not sure what else, but it was super yummy. We didn't get to try the spectacular "popcicles" (shaped more like ice cream bars on sticks). They belong in a modern art museum. Exotic flavors, some embedded with big fruit cross sections. There are ice cream, dairy-free flavors, and huge shave-ice type snow cones drenched in creamy or fruity sauces. If savory is on your menu, the shop also has a few mini-meal treats -- large cups of a saucy Mexican street corn concoction, a flat-bread/pizza-type slice piled with some wild toppings, and more. Think Haagan Dazs does Acapulco at the corner of Mexico City and Sears...

THE BEST! Highly recommend to family and friends!

From ice cream to sorbet; this is an ice cream gem in key west.

The prices are low compared to the prices and quality you get off Duval.

So many different flavors I choose from; Exp. plain chocolate one is soft and creamy but not heavy, it’s delicious and like no other perfect ice cream on a hot day

I’d requote “Don’t judge a book by its cover on this place cause you might miss out on the best ice...

Stopped in for dessert after an amazing dinner at the Hurricane Hole. We were greeted immediately and received quick, friendly service. My daughter got hochata ice cream and cuban coffee ice cream for myself. Yuuuuuuuuuhum. Coffee is a difficult flavor. Most of the time, it tastes burnt. We will be visiting every chance we get before our vacation expires. We saw passion fruit popsicle after we ordered. Definitely...
