Private Island Ice Cream

Awful place. The ice cream base is the same thing for all flavors, for example, if you want chocolate ice cream it is just the same base and he just throw some chocolate sirup in there. Which by the way, they are all sadly thrown in a styro foam cup, forget about waffes cones or waffes at all, or even a nice decorated cup, just a plain sad white styro foam cup.
On top of that, the signs at their windows should have given me a hint. It says gluten free, sugar free, it is really just Taste free. Very dissapointing experience. if you really want to TASTE ice cream I guess you should keep looking for another place.

I have been to lots of liquid nitrogen ice cream shops (in California) but I really, really loved my creation. I got honey-​cinnamon with ladyfingers, bananas and caramel. yum! So fresh and the honey cinnamon really stood out! Next time (like later today) I can’t wait to try something new. I also think for the price $ 5.50 it’s a great deal you get so much ice cream as they only offer one size. My kids loved there orders as well!

This place is amazing! The ice cream taste better than anything I have ever gotten at a store or any ice cream shop! This is by fir the richest and creamiest ice cream I have ever had! The staff here are really friendly and Amazon to talk to. They give honest feedback on flavors that you can make and give awesome suggestions! The sugar free coffee taste so good! This is high quality ice cream from people who love their job and show it in their attitudes!

Went there to get ice cream like I usually do and they were really rude I will never go there again which is sad because they have good ice cream and a cool way of making it!

Private Island Ice Cream is a little shop across from gatorland. Really friendly, accommodating staff. Their base is vegan with almond milk and coconut milk options and they have quite a few add in options that are vegan friendly as well, including chocolate, coconut, strawberry, cherry, banana, peanut butter, coffee, and pineapple. I got strawberry banana and coffee. Both flavors were delicious, creamy, and sweet. Their base is also gluten free. Soon they’ll start doing smoothies and fraps, so I’ll definitely be stopping back in to try those. They’re fantastic people making delicious ice cream: give them your money.

The ice cream was amazing! It is really cool to watch them make it too. It is a must try!

They offer tons of add-​ins for your ice cream and it is a really cool process however, the ice cream itself is flavorless and bland. It really lacks a punch of good flavor. Store bought ice creams actually taste better but this is fun to see.

Love this place! Today was my first visit and I will be back if I can. They make the ice cream right in front of you. I mean, they start with the custard in liquid form, apply nitrogen, mix the ice cream in front of you with any mix ins, and then hand it to you. Amazing!

This place is an absolute pleasure to go to. As locals, it is our #1 ice cream spot and I would highly recommend to anyone. I love the caramel sea salt ice cream. Definitely the freshest ice cream and ingredients. Service is quick and friendly. The owner always seems genuinely happy to greet and serve his customers.

This place is fantastic! I’ve never had nitrogen frozen ice cream before and I am glad this was my first experience. There are tons of options to choose from and it is a one size cup. The cup is 5.50 $ and you can add 3 toppings, which are mixed in as it is prepared before you.
The owner is a marvelous man. He is very warm and welcoming. He took us through his 10 second demo, which was funny and awesome. He prepares each and every ice cream.
This place is a hidden gem and would encourage anyone to come share in this experience!

Hands down BEST ice cream I’ve ever had! After a hot day at Gatorland, the Piña Colada ice cream with mango was the perfect treat to cool down with! The staff was amazing and friendly and there were toys out to keep our toddler happy! Watching them make the ice cream was also really neat!!! I can’t wait to come back once we move to Florida!!!

Amazing establishment! Great for a family outing or a little first date. It’s impossible not to enjoy your ice cream because you pick exactly what goes in. Once you sit down to enjoy your personally chosen treat there are plenty of games from Jenga to Sorry. My favorite ice cream place but see for yourself!

Ice cream is delicious, with an amazing array of favors. Service is very friendly. Will definitely come back.

I eat lots and lots of ice cream all over the world. I had bananas foster and it was amazing. The homemade caramel really put it over the edge. The owner is really nice.

Exceptional customer service. Having the ability to create your own flavor for $ 5 is a great value. The person behind the counter was very friendly. I missed together Cinnamon, Cayenne Pepper with Hershey’s Chocolate. Owner was cool with me adding some leftover Sriracha I had from a previous meal. Says he will likely have some at the shop in the near future. Love this place.

My new fav place! The owner is so nice and he made the best ice cream! Me and my frds enjoy ourselves so much.
Seating areas with games. And It’s a right a cross from Gatorland.

Omg! Nitrogen has been such a thing with ice cream but this experience has been way more than getting at Smittens in SF. This was our last stop before the airport and we had to go due to the reviews and its rated #2 on trip advisor. I see why they were.
First the owner, very friendly and inviting. He was so informative and knowledgeable in which made making the ice cream combination that much more fun. He is up close and personal. He makes it right in front of you, handles the liquid nitrogen in a manner I have never seen before. With such as, but he did inform us he had been doing it for a long time. Then he folds the flavor together by hand, no machines required.
The outcome… UNBELIEVABLE. Anyone who has the chance to stop by while in Florida, do so. He also has these big Jenga pieces so that guests can play. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to get a game started.

Small Shop Across from Gatorland.
Good to sit and enjoy inside or outside of the shop. A map of where visitors have come from and games are found inside. Ice cream is all made to order from the cream to the product to eat. Over 25 add ins including not limited to Girl Scout cookies, pretzels, coconut, peanut butter cups, and caramel.
Service is friendly and efficient. The owner was working and explained the process of making fresh ice cream using cream and liquid nitrogen. He explains how to add flavors. Fascinating and engaging was his passion for his shop.
Ordered a cup of coconut caramel to give it a try at first. The flavor was finished in almost no time. It was flavorful from the caramel that matched well with healthy amounts of coconut flakes. We were reluctant to order the first one. We weren’t shy to go back and order another custom flavor. The second cup was a chocolate peanut butter pretzel. A wow of sweet savory and delicious. Also finished without delay.
Overall by far one of the best ice cream experiences. Flavors are spot on. An old time cream shop feel with modern make of the process. Five stars. I will be here to eat more ice cream. Best non chain ice cream I have ever tried.

Amazing… Legit hand folded nitrogen ice cream glory. We got the triple berry, coffee with ladyfingers & fudge, and the chocolate peanut butter with brownie… All so delicious. Probably can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
Owner guy (didn’t catch his name) has been doing ice cream for a long time – iz legit. Too legit to quit!
No gimmicks here. Just jumbo jenga pieces & good ol’ hand mixed ice cream with real ingredients

I’ve been to a place that’s done liquid nitrogen ice cream for a long time before and this place does it equally as well, can’t fault them for being new to this process as they nailed it! (EDIT: OK, guess they’re not new — that’s why they nailed it!)
First off, the business right across from Gatorland, is in a tiny plaza and a small store. There’s some beach chairs & a couple tables with some fun games on them. My fiancée and I kept playing a game where we pressed the alligator teeth, trying not to get bitten!
On with the ice cream: it was plain yummy! I ordered raspberry ice cream, which they made by adding crushed up fresh raspberries to the cream base. Some Nutella and peanut butter cups made my ice cream delicious! My fiancée ordered mint ice cream with Oreos and M&Ms. The mint concentrate was dark green & added amazing flavor to her ice cream.
It was a great all-​around experience and we’ll be back!
