Cute shop. Free samples! Extremely friendly staff. Birthday cake and cotton candy ice cream were super good. The girl at the front counter was very bubbly and cute.

Home made, all natural, super delicious! All made onsite too. No matter what the situation is outside, the Orange Octopus is delicious and worth every bite... Enjoy!

I’m not a big ice cream fan. But when I do get it I prefer cookie dough, which the orange octopus offers. The best part is that there was cookie dough with nearly every bite. One of the few places here that’s been consistently good.

One of our family’s favorite ice cream shops! Soo good and the smell of an authentic ice cream shop, hits you once you step inside the door! Fast, courteous, service. Reasonably priced. Always fresh ice cream. Wish they had a shop in Cincinnati! Worth it!!

This ice cream shop has spectacular creations that are distinctly different than most shops. Their unique flavors kept us walking back night after night. Their friendly, young staff is upbeat and makes the visit fun.

Delicious, my husband and I went with our daughters and all got two scoops on waffle cones. They were good and we sat inside. The place is very cute and decorated with orange 🐙. A little pricey, but overall good experience

Cute little ice cream shop right next to Turtle Beach. They have a good amount of flavors to choose from, and you can also get a sundae or a milkshake. The ice cream is super creamy and you can tell it’s slow-churned. My favorites are the Sea Salt Caramel and the Gator Tracks, both of which I like to eat with a nice waffle cone. You can sit inside or enjoy the sites and sounds on one of the outdoor benches. Great place to grab a sweet treat!

This is some of the BEST ice cream anywhere. Hands down best ice cream in Siesta Key. Sea Salt Caramel flavor is a must! The kids that work there are pleasant and service is quick despite a long line. Don’t waste time with ice cream places in the village.

Very good ice cream at a nice clean place with excellent service. Conveniently located in a little shopping plaza. Parking can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, but totally worth it. Highly recommend this place for some good ice cream.

Our go to spot for ice cream in Sarasota when me and my wife come down to go to the beach. The ice cream is homemade and always delicious. We had their ice cream at our wedding and we could not have loved it more.

First off this place has the BEST ice cream on the key. Parking is often a bit of a hassle so walk if you can. My beef is about the service-guy who served me was high as a kite (not the first time-do it on ur own time buddy-lots of kids go to this place)-could not remember my order 10 seconds after I gave it. Secondly he asked for a tip-he gave me a scoop of ice cream (nothing extra) and expected a tip-outrageous.

We visited twice while we were in Siesta Key. Delicious ice cream with reasonable prices. Staff was very nice! Definitely give the Salted Caramel and Kentucky Bourbon a try. The kiddos liked the cotton candy, Strawberry Cheesecake and Ooey Gooey Brownie.

Our little one has a medical condition that requires a restrictive, low sugar diet. Orange Octopus had a sugar-free dutch chocolate that was made with stevia - not maltitol.Ice cream had a soft, creamy texture without any weird after taste. He ate every bite of his ice cream and said it was the best he ever had. I was able to steal one bite - and it was really good for a sugar-free ice cream.

Thid place is amazing! They make their own ice cream and won the 2019 & 2020 Sarasotas best ice cream. The flavors show you why! Soooo smooth and such great taste! Check them out and you will be happy you did!

The ice cream was AMAZING. It was a group of 7 of us and the staff was beyond helpful. She was very nice, and super efficient. Although she was alone she had the best attitude! (And wore a mask) Many flavors to choose from, must try the salted caramel, so good! The only reason I give it a 4 is because guests arent required to wear masks which made us feel uncomfortable when in line or when others got too close.

Orange Octopus has THE BEST ice cream on Siesta Key! The staff are also very friendly and efficient. For seating, there is a very clean indoor area and a few benches outside. The sea salt caramel, Superman, chocolate peanut butter, butterscotch blast, and Kentucky honey bourbon varieties are favorites of our group! This place is a gem!
