Sanibel's Best Homemade Ice Cream

Need ice cream in your life...then pay a visit to this little treasure on Sanibel Island especially if you just came from the beach after shelling or sunbathing or from Lighthouse Point you'll definitely be glad you did. It's without a doubt an Island favorite to beat the heat...If you get one of the waffle cones, make sure you grab plenty of napkins.

Smallest ice cream cone ever for $6.95. The employee said there was no such thing as a single scoop or double scoop it went by flavor which made no sense. The ice cream was not pushed down into the cone. Felt like I got ripped off.

In spite of the previous ice cream business (Pinocchio 's) shipping out of this same exact spot and making way for the current Sanibel 's Best, it 's truly nostalgia for us to come here and support even with a brand new owner in its place. This is the neighborhood ice cream joint you 'd want to come to. There 's enough seating and tables on the porch to enjoy your ice cream. Just be mindful that tables will probably be dirty. I was a bit skeptical- but their Yelp pictures alone, instantly brought us here close to 9pm on a Friday to enjoy some of the genius flavors these folks have going on. My strawberry ice cream (forgot the 'creative ' name) was very good and creamy with strawberry chunks in it and the waffle bowl was also fresh. Hubs ' Cherry sorbet scoop was nicely packed with cherry chunks and his Raspberry-Lemon scoop tasted wonderful. Service is pleasant and the young folks behind the counter will oblige with any ice cream requests you have. However you look at it, Sanibel 's Best Homemade Ice Cream is doing something different and the ice cream here is as fresh as can be.

This place would be better if the servers wore gloves or washed their hands before grabbing your cone with their bare hands and pushing your shell chocolate on top with their unclean hands. Or at the very least grabbing your cone with the paper they wrap it after they touch the cone. The girls touched their computer screens , cards and their faces/hair.

Fantastic, fun and friendly staff with amazingly delicious ice cream and baked goods. It hits the spot. Also, a little spot to play some video games and stay out of the hot sun while eating your delicious treat. Fun for the family.
