Best Ice Cream in West Palm Beach: A Locals Guide
Best Ice Cream in West Palm Beach
Possibly the best thing about living in warm and wonderful West Palm Beach is that ice cream season never ends.
As a self-proclaimed ice cream aficionado, I take this subject very seriously. I’m a three-scoop kind of girl because choosing just one flavor feels completely unreasonable. And yes, I’ve been known to polish off an entire pint in one sitting.
So trust me when I say I’ve done the delicious research.
Whether you’re craving an old-school sundae, authentic local flavors, or something completely over-the-top, these are some of the best places to get ice cream in West Palm Beach.
🍦 Sloan’s Ice Cream
The West Palm Beach Original
Sloan’s stays at the top of the list. The company got its start right here in West Palm Beach, and the whimsical pink dĂ©cor is almost as much fun as the ice cream. Think creative flavors, enormous sundaes, freshly baked waffle cones, candy, cookies and enough toppings to make your inner child very happy. There are currently two West Palm Beach locations—Clematis Street and CityPlace.
Why go: Classic West Palm Beach experience • Huge flavor selection • Over-the-top sundaes • Great with kids
My pick: Coconut Storm
🍨 Frost Ice Cream
Best for Creating Your Own Flavor
This is a fun addition to the list. Frost is a family-owned West Palm Beach ice cream shop where you create your own combination of ice cream, flavors and toppings, and they blend everything together into your own personalized creation.
It’s basically the answer for anyone who looks at an ice cream menu and thinks, but I want a little bit of everything.
Why go: Locally owned • Custom creations • Tons of combinations • Fun experience
🍦 Van Leeuwen Ice Cream
Best for Rich, Grown-Up Ice Cream
One of the newest additions to West Palm Beach’s ice cream scene, Van Leeuwen is located in NORA and specializes in rich French-style ice cream. Expect sophisticated flavors like Honeycomb, Pistachio and Earl Grey Tea along with vegan options, sundaes, milkshakes and ice cream sandwiches.
Why go: Ultra-creamy French-style ice cream • Interesting flavors • Excellent vegan choices • NORA location
Try: Honeycomb — it’s one of the flavors they’re known for.
