I have to say I never thought I would be lucky enough to experience ice cream that could even come close to the wonderful taste of ice cream the Bookworm,those older surely remember, but Oh My..Oh My...folks you have to make the pleasant easy drive to Dreamette in Jacksonville. It is the best tasting ice cream of my 58 years Ive ever experienced. The service is fast, friendly, and all in all a great treat. You better believe I will be going again this weekend. Ray Bryan I cant say thank you enough for sharing this taste of heaven on earth with me. Folks if you do nothing else go check this place out. It is terrific....Thanks Dreamette...great job!
Love this place so much. The ice cream is amazing and the prices are great. My fiance and I love coming here to get ice cream or shakes. They are so good. The line moved quick and the environment is always friendly.
The best ice cream in northeast Florida!Best banana splits and I love the fudge on their hot fudge sundaes. There is always a line because theyre the best but dont let the line fool you, they are fast and efficient !Id give them a higher rating if I could.
Dreamette ice cream is so good! I’m so glad that after living here for so long I was able to try it!!! There’s a sign that says, “You’ve tried the rest. Now try the best.” And I’m not going to lie: it’s probably the best soft serve ice cream I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of soft serve ice cream. The line was long, but it goes really fast, so don’t let the length deter you! It’s absolutely worth it.A few things: it’s cash only, so make sure to bring that with you! And if you’re looking for vegan or non-dairy flavors, this isn’t the place for that unless you’ll have a slushy.
I love this little place. The lines are always long but Worth the wait. A place everyone comes together for the love of ice cream. Bring cash!!!
America needs more shops like this! The line was around the corner and now I know why. Simple comfort food prepared quickly, made with quality ingredients, for a great price with pleasant service. Nothing special, just easy to understand offerings done very well. Drove 20 minutes to try it out and was not disappointed!I had the fudge dipped strawberry waffle cone. A MEDIUM size. And it was huge for one person!Thanks Dreamette, if you run for President in 2024, youll get my vote!
Dreamette is a Jacksonville institution. Im 47 years old and have been eating their confections since Jesus was in high school! The banana split (your pants) cups are one of lifes perfect pleasures. Dreamette got me through my college finals all those years ago. Some people do the freshman 15, I had the Junior 20 thanks to Dreamette! No regrets! I hope theyre around when I have to roll there in my wheelchair!
Great,great,great ice cream. Best in the city hands down
Absolutely delicious. Very fast and reliable, with tons of customizable options on the menu. The inly minor issue is that there is no acceptance for cards but the quality more than makes up for that. I personally recommend the chocolate dipped in peanut butter (I’m a simple man.)
Super old school. Even a small soft serve is huge. Always amazing. To all the mouth breathers leaving 1-star reviews about them only taking cash, did you not see all the giant signs posted everywhere that say No cards? No ones going to rob you over $10 Karen.
This is a local staple, and for good reason! Delicious ice cream at more than a fair price! My family and I love this place and as there is always a good number of people in line, we are not alone. Try it!
Its cash only. Quick service. Best soft serve ice cream. Enjoy!
Best soft serve around and has been that way for decades. The dip cones are spectacular...
Dreamette is probably one the best ice cream places Ive ever been to. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone that asks me for good ice cream places. Id say this is one of the best ice cream places in America!
Best place to get ice cream!
You dont take debit cards. What is it with the people in Florida not everybody carries cash. Your butterscotch milkshakes arent that great either. When lived in Brandon FL there was a family owned business they used butterscotch in there shakes not flavoring. This is Teresa making this review not Carl I give you a 0 if I could.
BEST. ICE CREAM. IN. JAX.Fast and friendly service! I love this place!!!
Small ice cream shop they only take cash but have a delicious assortment of ice cream confections. Im very impressed with their selection and pricing. My new favorite ice cream stop
Great variety of ice-cream, style brings me back to an earlier time in my life.
Still standing after after 50 years. I remember as a little boy going here when we lived off Menna St. Still a great place
Love the small banana split! It is just enough to make you want more, but not too much to overwhelm with all that is in it. Best I have ever had! Delicious!! Love it!!
Great ice cream combos. Murray Hill only takes cash. Yummy
Not like it used to be. But still an excellant dessert
Old school soft-serve ice cream walk-up joint that has been a Jacksonville staple for decades. Worth the wait if the line is long as it moves fast. So many options to choose from on the menu including cones, sundaes, shakes, and malts. Huge portions and affordable prices. Cash only. If youve never been, do yourself a favor a go get a bit of Jax history in the form of creamy happiness!
Always so delicious everytime I go. The portions are very large so if you are getting a small expect a medium because they rlly give you what you paid for.
Love 💘 ❤ the quality 👌🏽 of ice cream 🍦 😋. But alwats has a crowd..so there you have it.
Good soft serve ice cream! Line was long, but moved fast. Excellent customer service.
Love this place since I was a young child. Old fashion soft serve ice cream. Friendly, fast and awesome varieties.
Quick service, variety of options and flavors.Had the cotton candy dipped cone and friend had pina colada shake w/gummi bears
Love that place my entire life. Always a treat to visit.
Still great treat for oneself and grand kids. My 3yr old grand daughter kept saying so good all the way home.
A Murray Hill landmark going back years. Dreamette is a great place to re-live the ice cream days of yesterday.
Great prices really good family treat that wont break the bank.
Super excited to see strawberry soft served ice cream. The vanilla malt shake was also delicious. Make sure to bring cash.
It is amazing how well they get the line moving! We were literally wrapped around the parking lot & the order was ready almost as fast as we paid for it. The ice cream was really good too.🙂
It was wonderfulBeen going since I was a little girl.
I love that they have kiddie sized cones! We usually walk here with the kids and in summer days before we leave, the cones are ready to drop from the Florida heat! The kiddie size are pretty for toddlers who can’t keep up with the melt.I usually get the cookie dough in the milkshake and my partner loves the banana split or cotton candy milkshake! Great service, cash only which they make clear every time. If you don’t have cash head to the gas station next door to withdraw from the ATM
My daughter loved this place. The good prices for how much icecream you get.
Best place in town for ice cream!! Prices arent too bad either!
Great ice cream. My mom has been going there since she was a little girl and she is 70 so it was a nice treat to give her when she came to visit. Just know they only take cash no cards so make sure you have cash. If you have a dog with you they will make sure they have a great as well.
Its just soft serve, but its also not just soft serve. Theyve got so many different flavors and soft serve, its just so good. They only take cash.
Amazing service! Extremely fast! 2nd time going and have been very impressed! They are cash only, but very inexpensive!!1st timePeanut Shake perfect taste & thicknessCoke float was great2nd timeBanana Pudding Shake tasted just like the real thingButter Pecan Shake tasted just like eating the hard ice cream
It was over 100 degrees in Jax. I got a mango Pina colada slushy. Amazing 😁!!!
Excellent ice cream at a great price.
Delicious Ice Cream!! Way better than DQ!
Old time ice creme shop with hugh menu options and portions. Not cheap but worth the money for the size and quality. Thy the dipped cone (kid size is medium/large everywhere else).
Amazing as always! Everyone in our family has their own favorite item, but my #1 pick is always and forever the banana split 🙌
Walked in and saw a line wrapped around the corner of the building, which means it has the best ice cream in town. Line moves fast, cash only and big portion. I was full with a kid size scoop. Creamy and chocolatey soft serve!
This place has the best ice cream ice ever tried and I will be 50 this year so Ive been to a lot of places
If you visit Jacksonville, you are required to visit dreamette. Absolutely the best ice cream ever.
Love the Dreamette. Great Ice Cream.
One of the best ice cream places I’ve ever been to! If you’re in the area definitely, definitely come by and get something if you’re craving something sweet. There are a lot of options to pick from and it’s so so good!
Super fast service, great ice cream 🍦
Great ice cream at great prices
CASH ONLY. This is an old Jacksonville favorite. Their portion sizes are generous and their prices fair. What you see is what you get, and my only wish is that they would get real whipped cream because we love a hot fudge sundae or banana splits and they just seem naked without real whipped cream! Otherwise, their ingredients have a level of quality control and brand awareness (for example, they use real Oreo cookies and real Reeses peanut butter cups). They are almost always super busy so be patient and courteous from what can be a hairy parking situation to what is always a pretty fast moving but long line. I always get a little chuckle as to the demonstrably conservative leanings of the owner in this part of town when theyll post signs about denying you service for not having your pants pulled up, but have no issue serving the maskless during a global pandemic with a mask mandate and proudly taking a stance with all lives and blue lives matter. I cant believe I give them 5 stars, but it seems pretty live and let live and Im fine with that until proven otherwise. Did you notice they are CASH ONLY? :)
Love there ice cream.
Its good its busy cause its good but the wait time isnt to bad and its worth it
Oh man this place is great. People are amazing ice cream is the ishhh!!!
Best ice cream in town! Extremely affordable (cash only)
This place offers great prices for their products and I have to say that they did not disappoint when it comes to the consistency of ice cream flavor !
The best icecream in Jacksonville!! The cheesecake shake is the best. Just remember to bring cash
Always happy to go to dreamette. I got a medium dipped cone but honestly it was way more than I could eat. A great product. Been going there for 50 years.
Great customer service and speed as well as great a well worth treat for a anytime snack or treat. It was my first time there and it was on my 29th birthday.
Love this place, great ice cream every time, and plentiful servings
Best ice cream @ the Best prices in town. Banana split in a cup is to DIE FOR and a small is plenty. yum yum.
I love dreaming ice cream very good
Dreamette is definitely one of Jacksonvilles jewels. The ice cream is delicious and the service is outstanding!! The servings are very generous. Not a place to miss!
It was so delicious and very friendly staff
Best place to get ice cream
Ive been coming here since I was old enough to eat ice cream...early 1970s. Its always amazing!!
Itvjas the best Ive cream I love going there bc they give good service
Best kept secret in Jax... I been going here for 30 years
No better place to enjoy good ice cream
Loved this place! Cash only and somewhat of a line, but the cashier was efficient so it moved at a good pace. Several dipped coating flavors to choose from to top your basic soft serve flavors: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or swirl. There’s also sundaes, shakes and slushies if you prefer that to ice cream. Great summer treat!
Great ice cream, service and price.
Best Ice Cream in town especially the banana pudding 🤤
If you are ever in the area you HAVE to go here! They have tons of flavors and different dipped cone options. The sizes run large (ie the kids size is a normal sized icecream cone) and they have mastered the art of very low cost softserve!🍦🍨 not to mention the employees are very nice.
Delicious ice cream and fast, friendly service!
Amazing!! Had strawberry vanilla swirl soft serve cant wait to go back!
Cute little mom and pop place that has been in Jax for a long time. They are known for their dipped cones. They have so many dipping flavors I cannot even begin to name. I tried the butterscotch and I enjoyed it. Another great thing about this place is the price point, they have good reasonable pricing.Tip: Get EXTRA napkins and plan to eat your ice-cream quickly, it melts fast. :)
I was excited to finally experience Dreamette. The kids cup was reasonably priced and the perfect serving for my one-year old. He enjoyed every spoonful of his vanilla soft serve with the new cotton candy sprinkles. I tried the watermelon malt, but the flavoring was too faint so it ended up tasting more like vanilla soft serve. Still delicious, but not exactly the flavor I imagined. Id travel 30 minutes to try it again!
Delicious! Just tried the banana split and oh my gosh its good. This is now our go to ice cream place.
Always a great after dinner sweet treat.... My husband and I are never disappointed!
Great ice cream and shakes! This place has been open since the late 1940s! Walk up and cash only. The parking lot was steady with customers even though it was an overcast and drizzly day.
Best Ice Cream in jax, friendly servers always smiling❤
Best icecream in jax by far they move quickly and its cash only
Best soft served ice cream in Jacksonville! Well, that is in my own opinion lol! It’s just so smooth and creamy! This place is very popular and always have long lines of patrons even during the winter! They also have milkshakes and slushy floats! Seriously, if you have not visited Dreamette, you’re missing out!
Theyve stream lined their order process and have figured out how to move their line. As always the desserts do not disappoint.
