Lu Lu’s Ice Cream Shop

Delicious fresh homemade ice cream in a whole lot of flavors to satisfy your sweet treat needs.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ice cream shop! Such a cute location and terrific ice cream that’s locally sourced.
Now that I have all of my excitement out of the way, let me just start by saying I typically am not a huge fan of ice cream. I have to really be in the right mood and sometimes even then I’m kinda «meh» about it. Howeverrrr, Lu Lu’s is fantastic and totally switched over this non-​believer.
The first thing that sucked me into this place was how adorable it is. The shop literally looks like a miniature house in the woods. I’ve never seen an ice cream shop this adorable before! Also, when my guy (Greg N.) and I got there the owner was outside adding some new flavors to the board and was honestly the nicest, easiest person to talk to. She even secretly let me try the chocolate peanut butter brownie that was almost out (and was no longer on the board).
AND (best of all) if you check in on Unilocal you get 3 free topping! What the what?! I ended up getting the chocolate peanut butter brownie ice cream with graham cracker crumbles and banana. It was breathtaking!
I highly recommend everyone try Lu Lu’s even if you’re not typically an ice cream fan (like myself). There are a lot of option to choose from and the shop is so unbelievably cute!

Good tasting homemade ice cream with quick service. Perfect for when you are out on the town.

I have found heaven on Mills! The ice cream is all hand made. You can taste just how few ingredients are used. I had the banana foster ice cream with hot fudge on top! It was phenomenal! If I were to go back, I would try the cake batter with hot fudge. From the small sample, the cake batter seems to be pretty legit. Check this place out y’all!

Incredibly tasty ice cream. I pop over whenever I can!

I went here a few weeks ago, but forgot to leave a review sooner. I liked the look of Lu Lus and the person working there was super friendly. However the ice cream was not very good. I would honestly give it a lower rating then 3 stars but I don’t want to hurt there overall score that much.
I ordered cookies and cream and it had little to no cookies in it. I forget the flavor my fiancée ordered, I believe it was cheesecake something or other. Both of us noticed the waxy film in our mouth after eating it. Other reviewers have mentioned this as well. It was a pretty gross feeling and I have no idea what the cause of it was.

After just one visit, this place has my heart! A cute little almost-​roadside-​stand of a place – drop in once and you’ll fall in love, too!
The proprietress was scooping when we went, and gave us tastes of everything that interested us… only problem was, everything was terrific, and it was so hard to choose! But she said she could give us different scoops in a bowl and split them up, which was terrific! The toasted coconut and the sea salt caramel were both wonderful!
There’s a cute little area to sit and eat out back. I can’t wait to go again!

We drove past this place a couple of weeks ago and had to turn around. We parked in the lot to the left and let our noses guide us to the cute tiny shack– waffle cones were just coming out of the oven. My husband and I devoured a scoop of salted caramel with chocolate chips in a waffle cone. The ice cream was very dense and flavorful, not the whipped/​airy consistency that you find with supermarket ice cream these days. We will be back!

How can you not give this place a five? While eating dinner I thought hmm let me check Unilocal and see if j can find a ice cream place nearby and lucky for me this is what came up! Even though it was raining it would not dampen our experience one bit! The girl was very nice and let us try many kinds while informing us about the popular choices along with her favorites! The ice cream was ridiculously good and left me wanting more!!! I love me some good ice cream and I will admit this is my second favorite of all of the places I have been!!! You will not be disappointed!

Cute, cute little ice cream spot next to Eat More Produce! Looks like a little dollhouse/​cottage and is worthy of visiting just because of the adorable factor!
My husband and I were out and about recently and, on a whim, stopped here for a nice afternoon snack to cool us down from the high temps. The aroma of waffle cones was intoxicating so I was extra excited. There is a hanging chalkboard of ice flavors along with a choice of toppings if you feel like indulging. I was torn between mint chocolate chip and the triple dark chocolate chip flavors. I really should’ve asked to taste. The mint was good but mintier than I expected so I probably wouldn’t order that again. Lesson learned– always go with chocolate. ;) I do highly recommend going with the waffle cone for the full experience. If you check in on Unilocal,you get a choice of 3 free toppings. And no need to have cash, they take credit/​debit cards!
Loved that we didn’t have to sit in our car and risk melting ice cream and a big sticky mess. EMP has a great shaded patio area to sit and eat (whether your meal or ice cream) so we sat there and enjoyed our ice cream in peace.
Such a quaint little spot off of bustling 1792 and Orange. I would recommend taking a break from the traffic and stopping here for an ice cream coma…

One word: Adorable!
Ok, add another: Yum!
And a last one: whatareliefonahotsummerday (ok, I cheated!)
What an adorable little spot, situated next to the amazing Eat More Produce on Mills Avenue. They share a parking lot, so you can do what I did and shop for all your healthy produce needs, then grab an ice cream for the drive home. It’s all about balance!
I had trouble deciding between the Nutella, Sea Salt Caramel, and Triple Dark Chocolate Chip flavors, so she was kind enough to let me sample each before deciding. I still had a tough time, as each one was amazingly delicious, but decided on the Triple Dark Chocolate Chip, since I know I will be back again to get the others. I was told these flavors are in the normal rotation, so I know I will be back.
I decided to add coconut as a topping, which set my junior sized scoop over the top, but made a huge mess in my car once the air conditioner was blowing. It was snowing coconut flakes! Oh well, that’s the price you pay for a delish treat!
The shop looks like a large doll house, that you walk up to the window to place your order. While there is no indoor seating, it looks like there are some chairs behind the house under a tree to sit down and relax while you enjoy the goods.

Lu Lu’s ice cream is best for the following occasions:
You just got a promotion.
You got fired.
You just got engaged.
You just caught your fiancé cheating on you.
You found $ 5 in your jeans pocket.
You found out your kid stole $ 20 from your purse.
Your favorite sports team just won.
Your favorite sports team just lost.
You hate sports and wish everyone would stop talking about their favorite team.
You woke up thinking it’s Friday, but it’s actually Thursday.
You woke up.

We were going to a different shop. When we got there, and found them closed, I got on Unilocal and found Lu Lu’s. Boy am I glad we did! What a great little ice cream stand. The sweetness of the ice cream is matched by the sweetness of the building. A few tables & chairs are in front, one side, and the back.
I had a sundae with triple chocolate ice cream, salted caramel ice cream, nuts, whipped cream & a cherry. It was delicious. Thier flavors are bold, and well balanced. No ice chunks in this ice cream. I wish we found this place sooner in our trip. Everyone enjoyed their ice creams/​sorbets.
A gem of a shop. What a great way to beat the summer heat.

I frequently passed by this adorable little ice cream shop on my way home from work and finally decided to give it a try. The owner was extremely kind and personable, there was a large variety of ice cream flavors and toppings to choose from, and the taste was great. My guest and I both got ice cream sundaes. The caramel was thick and to die for! I initially wondered where we would sit and eat our desserts, but I was pleased to find tables and chairs behind the shop.

Adorable little ice cream stand off of Orlando Ave. you get 3 free toppings when checking in with Unilocal!!!Awesome! I had the cookies and cream with hot fudge, nuts, and bananas! It was so good!
This is a great outdoor spot to grab ice cream and hang out and enjoy the Florida weather! There’s a local produce market next door too!

Oh. My.
So, I’m not normally a big ice cream type-​of-​gal, but I think I’ve just been converted! First off, the just might be the cutest, sweetest little shop in Orlando. The shop is just off of the parking lot in front of Eat More Produce, and is decorated like an adorable little yellow doll house!
I talked to the owner, who was serving the ice cream, and she said that she had always wanted to open an ice cream shop because she felt that it would be the happiest business she could be in. Well, I’m here to agree and add that I challenge anyone to leave Lu Lu’s without feeling 3 – 5 times happier than they felt when they arrived!
But what about the ice cream, Andi?!?
~sigh~ I had already tried Lu Lu’s before as they supply Santiago’s Bodega with their vanilla bean ice cream (paired beautifully with SB’s bread pudding!), but this time I decided to try a few flavors. I ordered a scoop of vanilla bean (because obvs…) with a scoop of dark chocolate chip, and then a scoop of nutella ice cream with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream.
Holy mother of MOLEY! These were the creamiest ice creams I’d ever had! I shared with some friends (one of whom also said he didn’t normally like ice cream) and we were fighting each other for scoops! The pairings were perfect, but I do have to say that my favorite was the nutella ice cream with the slated caramel ice cream scoop.
I’d highly recommend, even to those who aren’t big ice cream fans!
Plus, it’s ADORBS. So there’s that.

The seven-​year old inside of me loves this sweet spot, and the adult me is equally enchanted by this magical yellow shack. You can’t help but smile when you are there. This whimsical Suessian cottage serves scoops of homemade heaven made from local cows and farms.
Salted caramel is one of my favorites. Coconut, Mint Chip, Lemon Pie, the Strawberry Shortcake with strawberries from Plant City, as well as creamy sorbets and mesmerizing milkshakes easily find their way into my mouth too.
The owners are super friendly, and sometimes there is a beautiful little girl working the counter. Believe you me, the seven-​year old inside me is über-​jealous of her, and I gotta admit it, the adult me is too.

So cute!
It’s right outside of Eat More Produce; a little ice cream hut that serves delicious ice cream. You know it’s a passion and love when a family is running an adorable spot like this.
When we approached there was a little girl inside at the window welcoming us, we were very confused but quickly realized she does this often. She welcomed us and offered us samples to any of the flavors we wanted to try. She was awesome! She even had a Lu Lu’s shirt on and ran our card after our order was taken. Adorable.
I was not expecting the wide range of flavors since it was a small place, but don’t let that fool you… so many awesome flavors on hand. Salted Carmel, Mint Chocolate Chip, Coconut, Bananas Foster, Nutella, Butter Pecan, etc! The owner was very kind and informative and when I asked if she ever thought of Black Raspberry ice cream, she mentioned she would talk to everyone and their ice cream provider and suggest that flavor! So, if you have a flavor you love, don’t be afraid to ask!
I went with the coconut ice cream with hot fudge. MMMMMM… it was delicious. I want more right now just thinking about how great it was.

Finally got to stop by today! And I’m happy I did!
We had Mint Chocolate Chip and the Nutella They were awesome.
I asked some questions and got the skinny…
I didn’t think they could make the ice cream in this tiny shop so I asked and the owner told me that they buy their ice cream from Muse Gelato. They are local and you can find them in Whole Foods and their food truck and various restaurants around Florida. They are locally sourced, using Florida dairy cows. They make their ice cream in small batches and deliver it to Lu Lu’s daily and Lu Lu’s has a push cart that they take to Farmer’s Markets around town.
With that said, we really enjoyed our ice cream and will be back.
I believe that the person that was concerned about the strange waxy feeling that was left in their mouth from the ice cream… it’s the high percentage of fat from the heavy cream/​milk used in the ice cream. Nothing to worry about. It’s natural!
Their staff is so sweet! It’s a family affair with their daughter taking orders and making change. So cute!
Lu Lu’s staff told me they have been open for 4 weeks and if you haven’t stopped by you are missing out!
For got to mention that a Jr. is a 1 scoop and a Single is a double scoop.

After finding Twisted Bliss still not open at 2pm on Saturday we found ourselves at Lu Lu’s. The adorable little house sits in the parking lot of Eat More Produce in Winter Park. Lu Lu said that they’d only been open 3 weekends. She was super friendly and gave us samples of several flavors.
My favorites were Cookies and Cream and Birthday Cake. I ordered a little of each in a cup. She hooked my son up with free whipped cream and sprinkles– he loved it. I so wanted to give Lu Lu 5 stars but as we were driving home and I was savoring my ice cream I noticed a strange waxy feeling on the roof of my mouth. Something in the ice cream? I didn’t notice it at first but it got worse as I ate. Too bad, the flavor was good!
