When you think of vacationing in Florida, one aspect that probably comes to mind is the heat. No matter what time of the year you visit, you’ll be in shorts and putting on sunscreen. One of the best ways to stay cool all year long is by indulging in some decadent ice cream or gelato. These yummy treats are great after a meal or all by themselves! The dining in Naples is unmatched, and the dessert options are the perfect way to finish a meal and stay cool. Here are a few of our favorite Naples spots for ice cream and gelato.
Cesibon
Cesibon has been serving up authentic gelato to tourists and locals alike for years, and their dedication to quality and taste has earned the shop multiple Certificates of Excellence from TripAdvisor. From the classic to the unique, there are tons of flavors to choose from, so every palate will be satisfied. The creamy treat will help you cool down and finish off a meal on a high note. Choose your flavor and your toppings for a totally personalized experience!
Kilwins Naples
5th Avenue is known for the incredible shopping just minutes from our Naples vacation rentals, but it’s also a great place to grab a bite to eat. Stroll through the shops with a treat from Kilwins Naples. You can sample their flavors to pick the perfect ice cream for you, and the homemade products are sure to please every time. If someone in your group isn’t big on ice cream, Kilwins also offers fudge, chocolates, and other confections.
Adelheidi’s Organics
If you have dietary needs or are just looking for something a bit more natural, Adelheidi’s Organics is the place for you. Their products are gluten-free and organic, so you know you’re getting a quality product every single time. Try unique flavors like tiramisu or lavender, or go for something more classic like vanilla bean or peanut butter. You can also find frozen yogurt, smoothies, acai bowls, and other sweet treats.
Regina’s Ice Cream Pavilion
Another great spot on 5th Avenue South is Regina’s Ice Cream Pavilions, where you can find old fashion favorites with brand new twists. Regina’s has been welcoming guests since 1988, but the atmosphere will transport you back to the 1950s. Ice cream flavors include crowd favorites like Chokoloskee Chocolate and Downtown Cup a’Joe, and you’ll have to taste the homemade waffle cones for yourself to see just how good they are! You can also indulge in a sundae or malt or grab an iced coffee for an extra boost.
Pavilion Royal Scoop Homemade Ice Cream
With locations in North and East Naples, Pavilion Royal Scoop Homemade Ice Cream is a family-friendly stop with something for everyone to enjoy. From favorite flavors like chocolate or coffee to unique selections like black raspberry or toasted coconut, you can find a new favorite, no matter how adventurous you’re feeling! You can just grab a cone, or stay for a full lunch and finish with dessert. They are also careful to ensure those with gluten intolerance are safe to consume their products.
After a long day playing at the Naples beaches, exploring the wildlife at the parks, or shopping along the piers, ice cream or gelato is the perfect way to stay cool and satisfy your sweet tooth. You can even try a new location every day! Luckily, all of these stops are located near our Naples vacation rentals.
