Best Cold Treats in Daytona Beach FL

There’s nothing better than a cold treat on a hot day. Heck, there’s nothing better than a cold treat on a cool night, either! So, here are three of our favorite places in Daytona Beach to find them.

Neighbors General Store & Ice Cream Parlor

This family-owned and -operated ice cream parlor has over 30 flavors of homemade ice cream, sherbets, sorbets, and yogurts, along with authentic Hawaiian shave ice. Each ice cream is made from a family recipe with the freshest ingredients available, right in the store. The Hawaiian shave ice is made just like it’s served on the North Shore of Oahu.

The ice cream starts with Florida cream and dairy products, sweetened with pure cane sugar. They layer in ingredients that are chopped, squeezed, torn, boiled, and peeled, then blend it into the ice cream. House favorites include chocolate brownie, cookie dough, caramel brownie fudge, rum raisin, and cotton candy.

And, if you’re looking to warm up instead of cool down, enjoy a coffee or spiced chai. There are iced drinks on the menu, too.

Simply Sweet

Simply Sweet can be found in Victoria Village, part of a community where everyone can get together to enjoy a sweet treat. Serving up Hershey’s Ice Cream and made-to-order bakery items like pizzelles, cookies, brownies, and cakes, this is your one-stop-shop when it comes to treats.

Hershey’s Premium Ice Cream has a high butterfat content, which allows the creamy flavor to shine through in every bite. Flavors include roadrunner raspberry, caramel caribou, maple walnut, coconut, and peanut butter cup. Of course, classics like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry are available, too. Simply Sweet always has a variety of Hershey’s flavors, along with Italian ice, so they’ll always have the right option to cure your sweet tooth.

Grab a scoop (or two!) or turn it into a milkshake, banana split, or smoothie. Visit their Facebook page to stay up-to-date on upcoming events and specials.

Zeno’s Boardwalk Sweet Shop

Since 1948, Zeno’s has been making the World’s Most Famous Taffy on the World’s Most Famous Beach in Daytona Beach. But, here’s a little secret: the ice cream is darn good, too! They started making it in 2003, with high-quality ingredients. Butterfat is what makes any great ice cream creamy and delicious, and Zeno’s pays close attention to this in creating every batch.

Add goodies and treats to the ice cream, like fudge, brownie pieces, and caramel—those are all made fresh in the kitchen. Grab a few scoops of your favorite ice cream stuffed into a freshly made waffle cone, and enjoy.
