you have to try out the bakery at Pinocchio's! I don't remember what we had but everything looked fabulous! The ice cream here is probably famous coz it's the only shop around the place!

Michael Tchou

Great place to grab a cone after a long walk on the Sanibel beach . Sanibel Krunch was a winner.

Denise Dillon

Stick with a SMALL it goes a long way! Adults can even order a child's size. You can't go wrong with any flavor. The Key Lime Hurricane is to die for!!

Taylor Horen

The gator stew ice cream is great! All their ice cream is homemade in their ice cream lab and their portions are enormous!

Lauren Thomas

Their homemade custom flavors such as the dirty sand dollar are excellent. They have added gelato which exceeded my expectations.

Keith Kaplan

The dirty sand dollar and Sanibel crunch flavors in a waffle cone are a must. You won't regret getting it. Trust me.

Matty Lin

Wedding bells flavor is THE BEST. If you like almond . It's also a signature flavor of theirs.

Sanibel Sam

Sanibel Krunch is my favorite. But there isn't a bad flavor in the house.

Cole Smith

So great. I'm lactose intolerant, but this is almost worth it. Get the dirty sand dollar!!

Alex Gonzalez

Don't miss the Captiva Crunch ! It's the Sanibel Crunch with chocolate ice cream

Ernesto Sosa

A must visit if you are in Sanibel. Delicious Italian ice cream with a local touch ;)

Maya Jimenez ????

I highly recommend the Sanibel Krunch and the Vanilla Cherry !

Joseph Yarbrough

Unless you want a ton of ice cream , the kiddie size is plenty big enough for an evening treat. They pile it high!

Cat Flippen

Extremely Gluten-Free friendly . Ask for GF recommendations when ordering. Lots of selection and GF knowledge !

JP John

Loved the Pinocchio Hurricane! Worth the trip!!

shifty

Great ice cream at good prices. They don't gouge a captive audience.

Christopher Long

Except in the morning, this place is crowded . The crowdedness is due more to the poor layout of the place than to the quality of the ice cream , which is rather poor. Poco Loco is the better choice.

Ruby George

Next time I'm going to DQs ....overrated...and the grumpy young man scooping ice cream put me in a bad mood...and...he had a tip jar...how funny!!!

Chad L

Try the wedding bells flavor . It's almondy delicious.

Dave Haan

try to house specialties ... Wedding bells, dirty sand dollar and Sanibel Krunch , they're fantastic. And a small is really quite large.

seth hochman

Way good ice cream + huge servings = certain brain freeze

Sherri Cox

Chris loves Wedding Bells!!

Sean L

The new setup is so awful. It's hard to believe how terribly designed it is. Worst designed place I've ever been to. Ice cream is worth it though.

Olivia Talmage

Love the animal crackers <3

Lisa Baar

Get a regular not a large, it's HUGE!!!!

jesse

avoid long lines by avoiding the evening visit

Ryan Stoner

Come around 6 to avoid a line

Rich Layman

Dirty Sand Dollar is good, avoid the Mango . Layout is not designed to handle the crowds, so go off-peak.

Josh Hopkins

It's no longer cash only .

Sarah Scott Kelbel

Dont bother with the gelato...it is more like frozen yogurt and they only have 3 flavors

Bill Heneghan

This better be good ice cream !!

Tim Christopher

No credit cards. Only cash , check, or traveler's check.
