“ This is our hands down favorite ice cream purveyor. The quality is great and the staff are always wonderful. We just wish it wasn't only when we are vacationing that we got to enjoy it(granted we go multiple times when we can). ”
“ They have a variety of flavors to choose from - some trendy, some classic. The service moved very quickly, which was good for wait time -- tough if you didn't know what to order. (I'd say choose from the list on the wall before you get to the counter to avoid slowing the line.) There is limited seating inside and a fair amount outside. ”
“ The ice cream was delicious! Always a little crowded because it's in a popular spot, but a must hit whenever I'm in Siesta Key ”
“ Stopped in for a quick sweet treat. I was hoping for pistachio but they didn't have any this day. We got chocolate and cotton candy ice cream. It was good, although the chocolate was a little grainy. It's not cheapest place for ice cream but conveniently located near the beach. The service was good and plenty of places to sit indoors to enjoy on a super hot day. The art work was great, the kids loved it. Definitely worth a visit! ”
“ Many locals told us to take our little one to get ice cream at Orange Octopus. Their recommendation did not disappoint! Thankfully they were open late so we were able to eat dinner elsewhere and venture over to this gem. Toasted Coconut and Mint Chocolate Chip were VERY good. ”
“ Good spot! Visited this ice cream spot with family. The spot is small but has some indoor seating. The staff was friendly and happy to provide samples as needed! I got the Kentucky Honey Bourbon and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream in a waffle cone. The ice cream was creamy and both choices were good with very subtle and smooth flavors. Unfortunately the waffle cones were stale. Hopefully the cone I got was just not the best batch. I would definitely re-visit and try some other flavors! ”
“ Great little ice cream stop... The wife and I stopped here after our dinner as it was just a short walk away from the restaurant. Small and unassuming, they had a wide range of ice cream flavors and the servings were way bigger than I thought they would be. Service was fast and efficient, both gals working behind the counter kept the line moving at a nice clip. I had their Kentucky Honey Bourbon ice cream with the Cherry Chocolate Chunk - My wife had the same Cherry Chocolate Chunk alone. Very creamy and delicious. It was a nice, quick stop to top off a dinner out. ”
“ My parents rave about this place, so we decided to stop in tonight with the kiddo after dinner. It looks like a normal small ice cream shop, really nice team Members and a good selection of choices. My son got the cotton candy ice cream, my mother a chocolate one, my wife got key lime pie and I got peanut butter and jelly. I tried most of them, and they were very good! I even got samples of peanut butter chocolate and alligator tracks, both were very good as well but I decided on the peanut butter and jelly as you don't really see it anywhere. Really good ice cream, we enjoyed our dessert. Recommended. ”
“ Loved this place! Took my girls here after a hot beach day and it totally hit the spot. The inside of the shop was really clean and we loved the minimalist design. The ice cream was phenomenal-- I got the key lime, hubby got the Kentucky honey bourbon, and the girls got the Superman and the chocolate. Super creamy and not overly sweet. Will come here every time we're in town! ”
“ Best. Ice. Cream. On. The. Planet. Seriously. Unbelievable ice cream. Super generous scoops. Impeccable service. ”
