My friends and I had pizza at Duetto and we’re going to come back for some gelato after we hit Duval. We walked past this place and decided to give it a try. I saw that they have homemade ice cream so I decided to opt for that. I purchased two scoops of cookies n cream on a waffle cone and it certainly hit the spot. It was delicious. I highly recommend Flamingo Crossing for ice cream!

Great ice cream. I ordered the french chocolate which was very creamy and had a rich flavor. I also ordered the coffee, flavour as well it wasnt as good. Its a flavour that I dont like much, but for some reason I cant stop eating it. Odd huh? As for the person that scooped up and gave me my ice cream, I have no complaints. They were soft spoken, but they looked like they new what they were doing. Great service 6 out of 5 stars, I have saved it to come back to later.

The best Ice cream EVER!!! It is so smooth and feels very nice in your mouth! They have a wide assortment of flavors to accommodate everyone! Their passion fruit and key lime flavors are to DIE for and they taste sooooo delicious! The staff was very friendly and it has a nice ambiance. The outside area to sit is so cute and it has lots of room. 100% recommend going here if you want really good ice cream! Prices are really good too!

Tried a new flavor everyday. Never disappointed by the selection and quality. Will have to go back to try more flavors. The lavender was delicious.

This ice-cream spot is so good that I will be coming back to key west just to get ice-cream here. As a person from the Caribbean the exotic flavors such as the soursop (my favorite), mango and papaya was on point in terms of flavor. The ice cream is not too sweet and it’s very creamy…just nothing like I have ever had. And to top it off the customer service was awesome. I definitely recommend this ice-cream shop.

Nice ice cream place. Lots of variety of flavors. The fruit flavors were very good, including the guava, passion, mango flavors. Prices also reasonable with good size scoops. Its cash only though.

Great Latin themed ice cream flavors like Passion fruit or quava and straight up vanilla were delicious. This place gets busy but worth it. The guy behind the counter was great even though he was serving so many people.And by the way, cash only. Some guy made a huge stink over the place not accepting cards. Give me a break. I know we are all living in a modern kind of world but would it kill you to carry a couple dollars in your pocket?

Good enough. Our daughter loved the lime/lemon sorbet. I tried it. It tasted like concentrate, but when its 100+ freaking degrees and 100%+ humidity out, places like that are a welcome treat.

This is my go to ice cream shop when visiting Key West. Ice cream is delicious and my favorite flavor is Mamey. Homemade ice cream, and they also offer a sugar free vanilla flavor option which my husband greatly appreciated. Nice size portions and amazing tropical flavors!

The best ice cream in Key West especially the tropical fruit ones. I had Guava, mango and Mamey. You can taste the fresh fruits in every bite. Will definitely come back next time I am in Key West.

Review №21

Did not have anywhere inside to sit and not very many flavors of ice-cream. It was mostly fruity flavors, sherbert, or ice cream with alcohol in it. We ended up going to Häagen-Dazs!

Review №22

Very enjoyable ice cream and experience! Aside from being near the Southern most Point in Key West, their hand made ice cream was really good 👍We also enjoyed the little hens and chickens roaming freely outside on premises. Overall recommended, just note they are a cash only establishment but do have a fee vases ATM inside the ice cream shop 😉

Review №25

Staff was so rude. Went in with my family to get some ice cream to cool down and ask to sample the ice cream (there was about 15 different flavors) and the older senior lady told the other very nice girl and I quote dont give them any sample if theyre not gonna buy with a very rude face. The other girl look and felt so sorry for us. To make it worst. Their debit/credit card machine was down and it was cash only. NOTE: we did buy 6 icecream (had to blind buy without tasting) and that lady made my icecream taste less tasteful and RUINED my vacation mode.

Stopped in today after a hot walk down Duval to the Southernmost Point. I had the Cuban Coffee flavor and my son had the Key Lime. We both loved our choices. They were very rich in flavor and its all hand made right in the back of the store. Great place to stop and cool off!

Great ice cream! We are at Key West for a day and looking for ice cream snacks. Waffle is fresh. The guy who does ice cream is fast, 3x faster than Baskin Robin. Plenty of benches to sit outside. And this place has bathroom, such nice hospitality. Worth our time out to shout out for this great stop.

Large, very thick chocolate shake. Looked like they have lots of interesting flavors but no samples at this time. The only downside was the skinny straw - they really need to be larger to fully enjoy a shake this thick.

Review №36

I had the french chocolate ice cream. It was pretty good. My husband had the butter pecan ice cream. It barely had any flavor. No pecans found. So, that particular flavor was disappointing. The ice cream shop itself was very well clean and sanitary. The one server was friendly and direct for required CDC protocol. *I will return to this location in the future.

Hands down the best Ice Cream in town! Locally made, Flamingo Crossing ice cream is creamy and delicious! They offer many unique flavors from Rum Raisin and Rum Runner to Cuban coffee and Key Lime. Milkshakes are fantastic! They keep their prices down by allowing only cash payments, however there is an ATM conveniently located outside the shop if you dont have any cash on you.Get a yummy ice cream cone or a milkshake, sit outside on their colorful benches and enjoy people watching on famous Duval St! :)

Great gelato. Worth the visit. Nice picnic tables outside with umbrellas in case you want to sit down in the shad there. Good selection of flavors but missing some of the classics (hazelnut, Nutella, pistacio for example).

Review №42

Best ice cream I’ve ever eaten. There were three of us, snd we all ordered two different scoops each. I tasted the Mamey (my fave), Key Lime (yum), French Choc (tasted like normal choc), Dulce Le Leche (amazing luscious like caramel), Rum Raisin (so flavorful). Wish we had t done this our last day. Do it your first day and you’ll stop every day ha!

They treat locals like trash. I simply asked if they offered a local discount and I was told straight up ‘NO!’. Being in the hospitality industry for 13 years and being born and raised in Key West I will make sure to no longer send my guests here.

Not sure how people rate this high. Possibly paid reviews. This place was a joke. 6$ for 2 scoop cup of ice cream. Hardly any topings. AND THEY DONT TAKE PLASTIC CASH ONLY IN THE STONE AGE.

Not local friendly.... Got made fun of when I asked for a local discount... 99% of all businesses in Key West give local discounts ranging from 10-30% except for Flamingo Crossings. Go to DQ or even McDonalds instead of here.

One of my most favorite ice cream place and probably one of the best ice cream ever made in the continental United States. What is my personal favorite flavors is the blueberries and cream ice cream as well as their shakes and malts.

If you want fun, and ice cream, and a chance to see the craziness of Duval St, come to Flamingo Crossing. This place was a family favorite in 1995-1999, and still is today. Bring cash as tgey dont take credit. Great ice cream. Tip the man.

Sadly, the last time ever at this store. We were walking up to the door, masks in hand to put them on. The guy behind the counter nastily said we have to put our masks on. We told him we were, okay maybe he didnt realize it. The couple ahead of us got their ice cream and he told them they have to keep their masks on in the store. The guy says ok but we have our masks on and were not removing them. Our turn, we get our ice cream, hand him the money, and he tells us we have to keep our masks on in the store. Not at all in a nice tone. We say we are not taking them off. No response from him. As we get ready to leave he tells us we have to exit the other door, which is poorly marked and we didnt even see.We were following the rules completely. I dont want some rude employee telling me what to do like I am in kindergarten and I am doing nothing wrong.

I really wanted to like this place. But the ice cream was average and the staff was very rude. I cant recommend it. Spend your money elsewhere - there are plenty of delicious ice cream shops on Duval with courteous staff.

Ok, most unique flavors lacked flavor. Too uptight for a ice cream place were ur looking to end a meal or a mid day snack. Relax, & develop the flavors, some good ideas, just misses.

Review №84

Decent location with easy parking. However, the workers acted as if they did not want to be there. Very hostile attitudes towards my family and I. The ice cream was homemade, yes, but with an overly icy texture. If you want some great desert there are plenty of other good places in the area.

Not only was the ice cream fantastic, but the customer service as well. We walked in very close to closing time and were still able to try a couple selections and choose what we would like with no rush. Stu and his wife were very friendly and welcoming as if we were old friends. I would absolutely continue to go back and recommend to anyone that loves good hand made ice cream.

I just stopped in here after seeing great reviews, I was over-heating, dripping in sweat with my nine-month-old baby girl, the man working here was so unfriendly and unwelcoming, made me go get my facemask which I was fine with, but when I came back and he rudely told me it’s cash only, I left without it getting anything. This employee is going to destroy your relationship with customers!

I have been coming to the island since I was in my teens with my parents and am now bringing my kids. When we first started going to Flamingo Crossing, this was the best place hands down. We would walk all the way down Duval from the Galleon. Excellent ice cream, excellent service. Unfortunately while the ice cream is still the best hands down, we have had an older gentleman as our server for the past 4-5 years, and he is just awful. I was reading some of the reviews, and annoyed doesnt even begin to describe his attitude. We talked about this place to my son and he was so excited to try some of the flavors, as most are unique and he has never tried them. The guy audibly sighed, wore an annoyed, almost angry expression and was just completely rude. We walked away shaking our heads. My father thought it was the owner because he has been there for a while. It is hard to imagine any owner tolerating this type of treatment. The only thing I will say in his defense is there was a steady line out the door and he was literally the only one on duty. It definitely needs to be better staffed. And that man has no business being in customer service. At. All. I am sorry to say we didnt go back specifically because of him. We went somewhere closer to our condo.
