One of the great things about the Naples area is that it is always warm enough for ice cream. But as the weather grows warmer, the idea of stopping for a cone or sundae becomes even more appealing. Luckily, the Naples area has many great ice cream shops, and you could try a new place every day of the week if you wanted. Here are some of the top ice cream shops our real estate agents recommend.
- Mitch's Cookies: 4844 Davis Blvd., Naples FL, 34104
If you're in the area looking at Naples homes for sale, stop by Mitch's Cookies to indulge your ice cream craving. This is an old-fashioned soda shop and dessert bar where you can order scooped ice cream, shakes, and other sweet treats.
If your appetite is up for it, try one of the cookie sundaes. You get to choose both your cookie and your ice cream flavor. The ice cream is scooped over the cookie while it's still warm and topped with a big dollop of whipped cream. - Gelato & Co: 483 5th Ave S, Naples FL, 34102
Gelato is basically a sweeter, richer, more indulgent form of ice cream, and there's no better place to enjoy it than Gelato & Co. in Naples. They make their own gelato in-house, using only whole ingredients. In addition to traditional gelato, they also make dairy-free, vegan sorbets.
There's a huge selection of flavors at Gelato & Co. They carry Italian classics, like stracciatella and tiramisu, and also more creative flavors, like salted caramel and cherry cheesecake. You can even order a milkshake made with gelato if you please. - Subzero Ice Cream: 2359 Vanderbilt Beach Rd., Naples FL, 34109
Subzero Naples is a family-owned and operated ice cream shop. They sell nitrogen ice cream, which is ice cream that is flash-frozen, to order, using liquid nitrogen. Freezing the ice cream in this way keeps large crystals from forming, which makes the ice cream extra creamy.
Subzero has all sorts of fun and unique creations. Citric Substance features lemon and raspberry ice cream with mixed berries, peaches, and citric acid for extra sourness. Mass Mocha Madness is made with mocha ice cream, Health Bars, and almonds. - Tipsy Cow: 25261 Chamber of Commerce Rd., Bonita Springs FL, 34135
If you venture out to look at some Bonita Springs homes for sale, you'll be right in the neighborhood of Tipsy Cow. This ice cream shop offers gourmet flavors in a lighthearted atmosphere. Some of their ice creams are even alcohol-infused. - Sospiri: Coconut Point Mall, 23151 Village Shops Way, Estero FL, 33928
Sospiri is an Italian cafe and gelato shop that is well worth visiting if you're looking at Estero homes for sale nearby. The shop itself has a cozy, welcoming appeal.
Sospiri sells their gelato by the pint, which makes it perfect for sharing. Favorite flavors include amaretto, pistachio of Sicily, limoncello, and cappuccino. They also offer a great selection of Italian pastries, including cannoli, chocolate and cream twists, and Italian cake. Or, if your gelato leaves you chilly, you can order an espresso to-go. - Royal Scoop: 15 8th Street, Suite D, Bonita Springs, FL 34134
Last but certainly not least, Royal Scoop has been serving up homemade ice cream for over 40 years.
