Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy ice cream! These ice cream shops boast high-quality ingredients and a commitment to crafting irresistible frozen treats. Whether you prefer classic favorites like creamy vanilla or crave unique combinations like salted caramel with dark chocolate chunks, you'll find a wide array of tantalizing options.

They offer a wide variety of flavors, including traditional favorites like mint chocolate chip and butter pecan, as well as more unique options like key lime pie and chocolate raspberry truffle.

  2. Cesibon - Calling all gelato lovers! Cesibon serves up the best gelato and sorbet in Southwest Florida and it is made fresh daily. Two locals own the shop and they bring a taste of Italy to Naples, Florida. It is tucked away in a strip mall so if you aren’t looking closely, you may miss it. Trust us, this is not to be missed.

  3. Kilwins - We had to include this popular ice cream chain since it is always a tourist haven. While in Naples, you have to try their toasted coconut ice cream which is one of their top sellers. If ice cream is not your thing, Kilwins has incredible fudge and caramel apples as well.

  4. The Real Macaw - The Real Macaw is a restaurant and ice cream shop known for their creative flavors and homemade ice cream.
