Lily's Handmade Ice Cream

This homemade ice cream spot not only is a huge blast from the past, but also makes some delicious desserts. First off, the retro decor and vibes are absolutely immaculate. It really feels like you’re stepping back in time into an old school ice cream parlor. The place is spotless, and the staff are friendly, gladly offering up tastes of any of the treats. This is some of the best ice cream I’ve had in the area, and you can absolutely taste the freshness and the fact that they make it all right in the back of the shop. It’s super creamy, not too sweet, with really pumped up and prominent flavors. Treat yourself to a scoop or two in this great spot, and you’ll be glad you did!

This is by far the best ice cream shop I’ve ever been to! The flavors are fresh and delicious, and the quality is amazing. What really makes it stand out is the customer service—absolutely top-notch. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend to everyone!

This is my new favorite go to ice cream place. As a new first time customer, I have to say this is a great hidden gem. There are tons of flavors to choose from! After trying a few, it was a hard decision because all of them are absolutely delicious. You can tell its homemade. The store was clean. Great seating inside and outside. Mariana was great and had exceptional service. Our new favorite ice cream place!

My husband and I were so excited to try out Lily’s after reading such incredible reviews online and I’m so glad we did! The homemade ice cream flavors are so delicious, the vibes are welcoming and Tao was so kind and friendly. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks so much guys!

Lily’s is the BEST ice cream I have had since moving to Florida 2 years ago. You can tell all of the ice cream is homemade. It’s so creamy and delicious. They have such unique flavors that combine all of my favorites into one (like wolverine delight which has cookie dough, brownies, and rainbow sprinkles!!!). The rewards system is awesome I always put my number in and get points which really do add up. The people who work there are patient and never give me a hard time about sampling flavors. The atmosphere is so cute. You absolutely must get a waffle cone sometime, they make them fresh! Love you Lily’s!!

This is the best Ice cream I’ve had in my life, and I would call myself quite the ice cream enthusiast. The workers are extremely kind and the service is amazing. There is a wide variety of flavors unlike anything else. I heavily recommend

The best ice cream I've had in a long time. Everything is homemade, and all the ingredients are premium and natural! Definitely coming back for more!!

Lily’s is absolutely amazing, with so many unique and delicious flavors to choose from. The ice cream is incredibly creamy and fresh, and you can tell it’s made with high-quality ingredients. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better.

If you're near a Lily's Handmade Ice Cream you should definitely try it. It was great.

This is our favorite ice cream in the area. Their ice cream is homemade and very fresh. They have fun flavors and toppings to choose from. I love their cookies and cream. It actually looks like chocolate ice cream because of the chocolate on the Oreos getting mixed with the vanilla ice cream. It's definitely the most Oreo-y cookies and cream I have ever had. They actually provide ice cream to a lot of local restaurants as well, which is very cool.

Delicious! Lily's has fabulously creamy ice cream. They do have a sugar free vanilla for those who need it but I'm speaking about the other flavors -- incredible. I like that they don't just have the "normal" flavors - they have many creative concoctions! Price is about the same as other places - they're all a little high these days. However - the girl who served us allowed us to have, what seemed like, 1 million tastes before deciding on a flavor! She was darling and very obliging. Parking is plentiful - - I'll be back!

Best homemade ice cream around the area! Great staff, family friendly, and great flavors.

Highly recommend getting a topping here! They really load it up so you get a bite of the topping with eat bite! I tried their seasonal Ube flavor. I tried a few other flavors that were also amazing but I only wanted one scoop. I wish they would allow half scoops or 1 scoop with 2 flavors, so I could have both flavors I really enjoyed. The ice cream was very rich and flavorful and they have a lot of great flavor options.

After a nice dinner, we were looking for a dessert place. I saw the handmade ice cream and was intrigued. The place has got the old time feel of a soda shop from the past. They have some interesting flavors and everything is kosher (even the gummies are, which is unusual). They have some vegan ice creams, too, though none were available for a scoop when we visited. But, you could buy a pint if you wanted. We wound up getting a couple of flavors and shared. It was a great find. Best in south Florida? That's a lofty claim they have on the wall, based on a local news article. Probably not. But it was really good. Nice find.

Hands down best ice cream in the area. It's creamy, flavorful and packed with toppings. Everytime I've been here, there's always been a steady flow of people but never a stagnent line. They're very efficient at getting everyone their ice cream asap. There's seating inside and a few tables outside. The tables were clean and comfortable. If you haven't tried their ice cream, I strongly urge you to visit.

10/10!!!!!! Lots of good interesting flavors. Dusty monkey and soflo swamp are AMAZING. Need to go back again already. Scoops are decent sizes.

I had the sugar cone ($1.50 extra). I chose the mint chip, plenty of chips, and an also a scoop of vanilla with chunks of candy bars in it. DELICIOUS!! The young girl was very friendly, offering me a sample to try, if I'd like. Close to closing time, the other young man was busy cleaning. We enjoyed this visit again. We did pay for a pup cup. Half a scoop of ice cream and a squirt of whipped cream. It certainly kept our dog occupied. We sat outside and was provided with a water bowl. A must try ice cream store!

I go to Lily's quite often. Feels like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. Most of the time, I am served by Michael. He is always kind, friendly and efficient. I have a mobility problem and he is most helpful. Oh, by the way, the ice cream is delicious!

Really good ice cream. Lots of flavors and choices. Nice staff. One can sit inside. Inside a large plaza. Plenty of parking. Get there and enjoy.

Lily's was the last stop on my ice cream tour with my 9 year old. I had officially run out of room for ice cream, but my son said it wasn't possible for him. I did take a taste of the wolverine flavor, which was good but super sweet. And then the nice employee insisted i try the double espresso. So good- Ill get that next time! My son got a kiddie cup of mint chip with andies mints. He promised me he would only have a few bites since he was all sugared up, but apparently impossible to not eat an entire kiddie cup of ice cream this good. I noticed they are a kosher establishment, which is helpful for my relatives who keep kosher. I look forward to visiting Lily's with (and without) them in the future!

The hotter it gets the more you'll love this place. You'll always want another scoop. They can do no wrong. Anything chocolate or with brownies or with nuts or with cherries so some nostalgic flashback that you forgot about like banana pudding or creamsicle. All of it is good. I've normally visit late night and there is always a crowd. People are friendly and service is warm And helpful. If you are between flavors just take a pint to go and a cone or ice cream sandwich for the ride home.

Hey Foodies we just visited the best Ice cream in South Florida. It{s actually voted by sun sentinel as the best ice cream of south florida of 2024. And they are about to open 2 more locations in boynton beach and north Miami . This is Delrays local hand crafted ice cream shop. They use the finest ingredients and make delicious and unique flavors. Their dairy is locally sourced. They even have vegan and no sugar added versions and kosher. We started with their giant oreo filled with a cookies and cream ice cream. It was a dream. The ice cream was smooth and definitely something you get from a tub. You can tell its made with love. We also go their block buster sundae which has every candy you can imagine. It's a movie night in a cup with kinderlla ice cream, M/Ms Reese's pieces, hot fudge and whipped cream. The total indulgence you need during these hot south Florida months.

First, I love that we were greeted with a smile when we came in. I was not disappointed with the original flavor mixes they have here. They ran out of sampling spoons, though, and we couldn't try the Ube before we ordered. Seems like they could easily have used the regular sized spoons, but apparently that's not allowed. The two people working were super nice and helped us quickly. I'm sure they are doing the best they can under the circumstances. When I wanted a dopio, she said they're out of cream. When I asked for a small drop of vanilla ice cream, she had to give me a full scoop & charge me for it. The cafe is too cute though, and it looks like it's a local favorite. I get it, but these little things seem petty when I'm paying $5 and scoop. That being said, the quality of this ice cream is smooth and creamy. The flavors are NOT very strong, but they're unique and tasty.

A bright and colorful shop you can't help but instantly be in a good mood when you walk in. The ice cream itself is pretty average and so are the flavor creations. I wish the folks working there reflected the vibe of the place. I tried to bring a smile to the guys face but no luck. A best seller is chocolate with chocolate chips and Oreo (Florida swamp - not sure how the name fits). It's good but nothing to rave about. My dad had a cookie dough one and it came with cake batter ice cream, it was an odd flavor combo. I wish their toppings were displayed clearer, they are in small jars behind a glass with other things in the way. Ample seating, a bit pricey, and ok ice cream. Not sure I'll return as there are many other places to try around here but it'll do if you're in the mood for ice cream and are nearby.

Very fresh home made ice cream. Good quality and ambience for a decadent delight. Even though it was late at night they were out of pistachio flavored ice cream.

Amazing ice cream! We loved the Soflo Swamp and the Wolverine. Will definitely be back!

One of. My favorite ice cream shop. The flavors are original and and they make you feel like family

Came here for their famous sundaes. I ordered the OG Sundae but wanted to change the flavor of the ice cream. He said no changes allowed and had to get the create your own for $12. So he simply made the same sundae with the 2 different flavor ice creams and did not even ask me what toppings I wanted. To top it off they ran out of whipped cream which makes the whole sundae when you add the sprinkles. I was aggravated that an ice cream shop such as this one would run out of a staple item like whipped cream. Sort of like Starbucks running out of coffee. And it's not like there is not a Publix a minute away to purchase whipped cream. The ice cream was good but was to aggravated to enjoy the $14 sundae. The ambiance was typical of an ice cream shop.

Lily's Handmade Ice Cream is some of the best ice cream I've ever had. They offer a variety of flavors for every sweet tooth. The ice cream server eagerly provided us samples of at least half of their flavors, one better than the other. The South Florida Swamp is probably my favorite. I know vanilla is boring, but theirs is great. Lily's services many local businesses. It has a 1950's diner vibe with a few tables inside and out and a take out refrigerator.

Best ice cream in Florida. Sit indoors or out. Wonder staff Ask for a taste no problem. They always have interesting new flavors.

Lily's is a wonderful family owned and operated ice cream shop that sources the best milk, which happens to be from Florida cows. I have visited a few times when I am in the area and the quality is consistently good. The staff are very nice and ordering is always a breeze.

I love the kinderalla ice cream it is amazing and my granddaughters love it!!! I totally recommend going!

So many flavors to choose from! The ice cream was delicious and there was a great variety of toppings to choose from. The staff was very friendly and allowed me to try quite a few flavors before I landed on the Biscoff and banana ice cream and homemade cookies and cream. It was a bit expensive like most specialty ice cream shops, but I think that for the amount of ice cream we got it was worth the cost. Atmosphere is really great and reminds me of a retro diner. Really cute place for a date night or dessert after going to the restaurant next-door.

Been a few times and it is always so good! Homemade ice cream here very delicious, and I am a huge ice cream fan so I have tried many places. Definitely check them out! Ps. They are one of the only places that have malt milkshakes anymore!

The best ice cream I have had in South Florida, so far. And I know a thing or two about ice cream. The vegan flavors are good too. Ice cream is based on quality ingredients, of course. But it has a lot to do with the amount of air blown in, the fat content, and the sugar. Too much air or too little fat, and the mouth feel is wrong. Too much sugar and it is too sweet. Lilly's gets it absolutely right. Rich flavor from the fat content, not too airy and just the right level of sweetness. It does not taste like the kiddie stuff in those big places with clown faces. This is the real deal. The server knew what she was doing and the owner was in back to answer questions. I urge you to come here. Support decent ice cream in South Florida and give your mouth a treat.

Stopped for dessert and really enjoyed the great flavor options of homemade ice cream. Also liked not a chain and natural ingredients

Ice cream is good, but I must've mistaken it for another place. Very nice ambience. The ice cream tasted very good.

My sons and I stopped in on our way back to my family's house after an afternoon at the beach. I was looking for coffee but was excited to treat the boys to some hand made ice cream. We were greeted by a nice gentleman and given all the details about the treats. We ordered a dirt worm sundae and a cookie ice cream sandwich. The treats were so good there wasn't much for me to taste. We will definitely be back. Everything was high quality and packed with flavor.

The best homemade ice cream! Great customer service. Our favorite in Delray! You have to try the kinderella!

The ice cream is very good, unfortunately the young kids that they have working there have an attitude, and seemed frustrated that they were busy. If the owners want the business to do well they should hire people who like dealing with the public.

First time customer today to Lily's Handmade Ice Cream and I will say without a doubt, I will definitely be back. As soon as I walked in the cleanliness of the place struck me and I felt very comfortable about eating there. I went over to the beautifully laid out counter and it really was a tough decision which ice cream to pick but I chose the peanut butter. I chose the cup size and then felt like splurging so I added hot fudge on top. Great idea!!! I actually was surprised at the cost of this delicious homemade ice cream because I always pay more at the franchise located across the street for the ice cream they get delivered in cartons. I chose a table, ate the most delicious ice cream ever and told Michael how impressed I was with it as he was busy behind the counter. Lily's puts their everything into this business! I was in awe learning how much they care. In this day and age it is rare to find real ice cream and real flavors but Lily's is the real deal!! I highly recommend it to everyone looking for REAL ice cream like you remember from your childhood and want for your own children and grandchildren. No fake stuff!! Treat yourself to the real deal!! The ice cream and the service are unbeatable!! I'm always looking at my calendar and planning when to go back.

Lily' handmade ice cream is so delicious! You can tell they use the best ingredients because the ice cream is so flavorful and creamy! They have many unique flavors. The decor is cute and inviting.

Simply the best ice cream in Delray. Legendary establishment because of their legendary ice cream. A real treat!

The ice cream is good and it's kosher which must meanfor the enormous bill for a shake and a small cup.

Really cute ice cream store next to Poppies. If you're a fan of ice cream (vs gelato or custard), check this place out. In addition to vanilla and strawberry, they have quite a few unusual flavors to scoop, plus more varieties by the pint in the case along with ice cream sandwiches and cakes. The owner, Ron, was friendly and gave us tastes of several flavors. He mentioned his daughter, Lily, is the artist who painted the signs in the store - make sure to check out the mural in the bathroom! They make all the ice cream on premises and supply many local businesses. Even though this place has been here for several years, we just learned about it while shopping at Captain Clays! We ordered the pistachio and spumoni flavors. Both were delicious. As they had so many unusual flavors, I asked Ron about my favorite flavor: black sesame. He said they only make it for a local Asian restaurant, but before I left, he gave me a sample! It was great. Re: the vanilla ice cream: while its ingredients are incredible and well sourced, it tasted more like milk to me rather than the strong vanilla flavor I was hoping for. We will be back to try their sundaes. I read they make their hot fudge and whipped cream in-house!

The most outrageous home made ice cream This is the best place in all of palm beach It's unbelievable creative flavors hit the stop all the time!!

Like their ice cream. Preordered a pint of Vanilla to pick up. Was surprised it wasn't hand packed but was very good. Next time will stop in to order.

Excellent-- it's a real TREAT - This is a down to earth experience. Nothing fancy, very relaxed atmosphere. Unusual flavors and they're all delicious.

Lily's is hands down my favorite ice cream shoppe! Their ice cream is so delicious and they drop new flavors pretty frequently. They have a rewards program if you sign up for texts

I believe it's the best ice cream in Delray Beach. I've tried many flavors, but my favorite is the chocolate chip mint.

I went to Lily's for an elite experience a little over a week ago with my boyfriend. Lilly's is tucked away in a quaint strip mall and walking past I would've almost guessed it was closed! Walking in The interior was very cute like an old school ice cream shop. Bright colors and a long list of different flavors. I opted for the boozy coffee ice cream and a churro flavor. My boyfriend got two chocolate based flavors. The boozy coffee was a little strong at first, but the flavor was amazing and I loved the texture of the ice cream. I was not a fan of the espresso beans in the coffee though. The churro flavor was my favorite as you got this sweet cinnamon ice cream with little chunks of actual churro inside. I like how their sign outside said handmade I cream, I found that a little more appealing than the sign on their door saying "homemade ice cream". Handmade sounds a little bit more luxurious. I would go back to Lily's in the future for the Churro flavor and to try the pistachio as well.

Very cute ice cream spot. Usually for an event we get a nice intro none was given just pick your flavor. Blah! Sometimes being personal is a good way to get the word out. That was a turn of for us. I would say the ice cream was amazing and richness and the fun flavors really made up for the lack of service. Wasn't too busy but still took a good 5 mins to be helped. The night at the movies and coconut where amazing. Hopefully it was just a end of the night thing. I would definitely return the ice cream was very good!

Can we say scoopilicious!! This handmade ice is by far the best ice cream I've had. Each of their flavors is truly unique. I had the Dusty Monkey and if you are a banana fan this ice cream is for you. I felt like a kid eating that ice cream. Yum The shop is very colorful and welcoming. The staff are friendly and have no problem letting you have a taste to make sure you get exactly what you want. So if you are in the area I highly suggest checking this place out. O and for my gluten free friends they label each flavor that is gluten free.

I really do like ice cream. But to be honest I'm more of a purist or a traditionalist. I don't care for my ice cream to be filled with a ton of things and especially don't like cookies or cake of any kind mixed in. I'm okay on nuts or chocolate chips or even fruit -- as long as it is not all at the same time. So I'd read a lot of positive reviews about this place and wanted to try it. And the two small cups that we got we did like. We chose their kiddie cups as we were fairly full from lunch, but wanted a bit of a dessert sweet treat. The problem was that there were only two kinds that appealed. My husband actually got their vanilla. And I chose the other one, their butter pecan. All the other flavors were on overload for me. Was the butter pecan good? Yes, it was fine. And the people were quite nice (mother and son). All the ice creams are house made by them at the store. They will do well, especially located near the deli that was packed the day we stopped by. They have indoor seating and a couple tables outside, too. I'm glad we went. Now we know.

We split a large sundae. The flavors of ice cream we had were awesome but the presentation had much to be desired. They had a small cup with 3 flavors stacked on each other so you couldn't get to them all at once and the toppings were overflowing everywhere. Considering I was splitting this I couldn't get to the flavor I wanted without having to eat everything off the top. By the time I got to my flavor there was not really much topping left and it was runny. Also, they have crazy names for their ice cream (which is fun!) But no description of what the flavors are so we held up the line asking questions which could have been avoided with a simple description. They have an awesome following and I wouldn't write them off I just wish the sundae was served differently. Staff was super nice and accommodating though!

High priced and the counter girl had no clue. The ice Cream wasn't that good to begin with. For 1 cone and 1 sundae it was $20.
